sco-expanded-contents and hidden content

I'm using the sco-expanded-contents webservice to retrieve information about content stored within our system but I'm finding that when I iterate through the list I'm getting content returned that I can't retrieve or find using the standard web interface.

For example, I call sco-expanded-contents using the sco-id of the shared content area and a filter-type of content. I get a list of sco's returned - some of these do not actually appear in the location specified (I use sco-nav) to retrieve the path for the content.

Does anyone know why this happens and if there's a filter element I can use.

Re: sco-expanded-contents and hidden content

I had this same problem. It was because I was seeing content contained in other items and linked to other ithems. Looking at it in XML it was not obvious what the links were.

I just switched to using SCO-Contents instead with teh tradeoff of not drilling down so deep.

I've been digging into this some more and it looks as if you might be able to use the source-sco-id to identify 'real' content by checking that source-sco-id is set to 0.
