getEntityReferenceValue

@Deprecated
public String getEntityReferenceValue(EntityType type)

Deprecated. since 7.4.1/8.0M1, use getEntityReference(EntityType)

Get the current value for a specific entity type, like the current space or wiki name. This doesn't return a proper entity reference, but just the string value that should be used for that type of entity.

Parameters:

type - the target entity type; from Velocity it's enough to use a string with the uppercase name of the entity, like 'SPACE'

Returns:

the current value for the requested entity type

Since:

4.3M1

getEntityReferenceValue

@Deprecated
public String getEntityReferenceValue(EntityType type,
                                                  String hint)

Deprecated. since 7.2M1, use getEntityReference(EntityType, String)

Get the value configured for a specific entity type, like the space name or wiki name. This doesn't return a proper entity reference, but just the string value that should be used for that type of entity.

Parameters:

type - the target entity type; from Velocity it's enough to use a string with the uppercase name of the entity, like 'SPACE'

hint - the hint of the value provider to use (valid hints are for example "default", "current" and "currentmixed")

Returns:

the configured value for the requested entity type, for example "Main" for the default space or "WebHome" for the default space homepage

Since:

4.3M1

getEntityReference

public EntityReference getEntityReference(EntityType type)

Get the current reference configured for a specific entity type, like the space reference or wiki reference. This doesn't return a full entity reference, but just the part that should be used for that type of entity.

Parameters:

type - the target entity type; from Velocity it's enough to use a string with the uppercase name of the entity, like 'SPACE'

Returns:

the current reference for the requested entity type, for example "Main" for the default space or "WebHome" for the default space homepage

Since:

7.2M1

getEntityReference

public EntityReference getEntityReference(EntityType type,
                                          String hint)

Get the reference configured for a specific entity type, like the space reference or wiki reference. This doesn't return a full entity reference, but just the part that should be used for that type of entity.

Parameters:

type - the target entity type; from Velocity it's enough to use a string with the uppercase name of the entity, like 'SPACE'

hint - the hint of the EntityReferenceProvider to use (valid hints are for example "default", "current" and "currentmixed")

Returns:

the configured value for the requested entity type, for example "Main" for the default space or "WebHome" for the default space homepage

Since:
