Hi Carl

Could you please share some of the code you're using to achieve this? Then it might be much more easy to help you out :-)

Hi Richard

Thanks for answering - That seems a little strange to me though becuase when I create the media, I need to assign the property umbracoFile to contain the path to the file - and if the path contains the ID of that property, I will need to create the property without knowing the path, then assign it and change it to include the ID. I can probably explain with a snippet below

                Media newMedia;
                newMedia = Media.MakeNew(filename, new MediaType(mediaType), admUser, folderNodeId);

                string newName = filename; // This is calcualted earlier when file is uploaded
                string newFolder = context.Server.MapPath("/media") + "\\" + newMedia.Id;
                string newFile = newFolder + "\\" + newName;

                // This is where I copy the file to the final location. At this stage I've not created the umbracoFile property as I need to know the path before hand

                Directory.CreateDirectory(newFolder);

                File.Move(savepath + "\\" + filename, newFile);

                // Save filename and path to Umrbaco File
                newMedia.getProperty("umbracoFile").Value = "/media/" + newMedia.Id + "/" + newName;

                // Save type
                newMedia.getProperty("umbracoExtension").Value = extension.Replace(".", "");

                // Save size
                FileInfo f = new FileInfo(newFile);
                newMedia.getProperty("umbracoBytes").Value = f.Length;

                // Generate Thumbnail for images - isImage is a bool set earlier in the processing, worked out based on extension
                if (isImage)
                {

                    // Resize the image here to create the thumbnails and calculate image height

                    newMedia.getProperty("umbracoWidth").Value = image.Width.ToString();
                    newMedia.getProperty("umbracoHeight").Value = image.Height.ToString();

                    // Generate thumbnails
                    string fileNameThumb = context.Server.MapPath("/media/") + newMedia.Id + "/" + newName.Replace(extension, "_thumb");
                }

Hope that makes sense. Essentially I can't find the property ID before I know the path, but the path contains the ID

I can probably do something along the lines of create the property with a dummy path, find the ID and then move it again to the correct path with the final ID but that seems counter productive

thanks for your help

Hi,

The property is already available when you create the media item. Only the value isn't assigned.

Try  newMedia.getProperty("umbracoFile").Id before you assign the filename and you will get the id of the property.

Cheers,

Richard

Hey Richard

Thanks. I'll give it a go and let you know the outcome

Hi Richard

That worked a treat - thanks for the info

can anyone give me sample code to integrate umbraco api for uploading content items

Thanks

Hi Pramod, 

Here is a little code that we are using to upload attachments to some node created at the fly. Hope it helps

protected void MyUploadButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

if (UploadFile())
{
            Document docComent = Document.MakeNew("SomeName", DocumentType.GetByAlias("YourDTAlias"), User.GetUser(0), idTicket);
            docComent.getProperty("ticket").Value = idTicket.ToString();

            FileInfo TheFile = new FileInfo(MapPath("/") + "\\TicketAttachments\\" + fuAttachment.FileName);
            if (TheFile.Exists)
            {
                File.Move(MapPath("/") + "\\TicketAttachments\\" + fuAttachment.FileName, MapPath("/") + "\\TicketAttachments\\" + docComent.Id.ToString() + fuAttachment.FileName.Substring(fuAttachment.FileName.LastIndexOf(".")));
                docComent.getProperty("adjuntos").Value = "/TicketAttachments/" + docComent.Id.ToString() + fuAttachment.FileName.Substring(fuAttachment.FileName.LastIndexOf("."));
            }
            docComent.Publish(autor);
            umbraco.library.UpdateDocumentCache(docComent.Id);
}

public bool UploadFile()
        {
            bool subio = false;

            if (fuAttachment.HasFile)
            {
                if (fuAttachment.PostedFile.ContentLength <= 10485760)
                {
                    if (ExtencionPermitida())
                    {

                    }

Thanks Julio,

i need add contents using api

Hi,

If you want to import content items you might want to checkout CmsImport, no need to program.

Cheers,

Richard

This thread just saved me from early dementia, thankyou Richard!
