    create media folder using api

    Hi,

    I have this requirement that when I create a room type in the content section, it will automatically add the same folder in the media section. With this, how do I create a media folder using the api?

    Thanks,

    Sherry

    Here is a sample:

    Media contentFolder = Media.MakeNew("Content", MediaType.GetByAlias("folder"), User.GetUser(0), parentId);

    Also have a look at this topic: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/6090-add-media-items-programmaticaly-

    Hi Jeroen,

    Here is my code

    void
     
     
     Document_BeforePublish(Document sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.PublishEventArgs e)
    {
     
     
    if (sender.Parent.Text.ToUpper().Equals("FLORA GRAND HOTEL")) 
    {
     
     
    int galleryID = createMediaFolder(sender, 4954);
     
     
    Document d = new Document(sender.Id);
    d.getProperty(
     
    "roomGallery").Value = createMediaFolder(sender, galleryID);
    }
    }

    But I'm getting an error on this before_Publish event.
