Getting the WebDavURL from Tridion Anguilla in the List View

Question

I would like to get the WebDavURL property of an item int he listview using Anguilla for a GUI Extension.

I have the following code but WebDavURL is not returned:

selectedItem = selection.getItems()[0];
var item = $models.getItem(selectedItem);
var webDavUrl = item.getInfo().webDavUrl();

You'll have to actually load the webDavUrl... item.loadWebDavUrl(). You'll have to set an event handler though to notify once the WebDav URL has been loaded as its an asynchronous method. Here's a sample that includes loading and setting an event handler:

var item = $models.getItem(selectedItem),
    webDavUrl = item.getWebDavUrl();

if (!webDavUrl) {
    // WebDavUrl for cached item hasn't been loaded yet, so lets load it.
    $evt.addEventHandler(item, "loadwebdavurl", function (event) {
        webDavUrl = item.getWebDavUrl(); // also could do event.source.getWebDavUrl()
    });
    item.loadWebDavUrl();
}

Hope that helps!
