Examples

Get a simple list of the most recent content of any type.

$most_recent = $POD->getContents();

Get a simple list of the most recent content of a specific type.

$most_recent_posts = $POD->getContents(array(
  'type'=>'post'
));

Get a list of content that have a certain specific meta field:

$content = $POD->getContents(array(
  'm.name'=>'special'
));

Get a list of content who have a specific value for a specific meta field:

$people = $POD->getContents(array(
  'm.name'=>'special',
  'm.value'=>'featured'
));

Get a list of content with a specific flag - this example will return any content flagged by any other user with the "warn" flag:

$content = $POD->getContents(array(
  'flag.name'=> 'warn',
));

Get a list of content with a specific flag/value set - this example will return any content flagged by any other user with the rating flag set to 5:

$content = $POD->getContents(array(
  'flag.name'=> 'rating',
  'flag.value'=> '5'
));

Get a list of content with a specific flag set by a specific user. This is how you would pull a list of a person's favorites:

$person = $POD->currentUser();
$favorites = $POD->getContents(array(
  'flag.name'=>'favorite',
  'flag.userId'=>$person->get('id');
));

Get a list of content created by a specific user:

$person = $POD->currentUser();
$posts = $POD->getContents(array(
  'userId' => $person->get('id')
));

Get a list of content created by anyone in a list of people - for example, a person's friends:

$person = $POD->currentUser();
$posts = $POD->getContents(array(
  'userId' => $person->friends()->extract('id')
));

Get a list of content a person is watching, and sort it by most recent comment activity - this would essentially createa a "new comments" list:

$person = $POD->currentUser();
$posts = $POD->getContents(array(
  'flag.name'=>'watch',
  'flag.userId'=>$person->get('id')
),'commentDate DESC');
