How to set template for Content in umbraco 5 programmaticly

Hi,

I'm trying to set the template to my conent i created programmaticly, but i nothised that it doesn't have any template or alternetive templates. When i try to set and save a template nothing changes.

But when i add alttemplate in the query string it all works but this is not the solusion i whant.

i got the code for createing content programmaticly from here: https://gist.github.com/1817726 this works greate i'm just missing the templates.

here is some of my code that might be relevant:

Action 1:

DocumentTypeEditorModel = GetDocumentType(DOCUMENT_TYPE_ALIAS);

var contentNode = new ContentEditorModel

{

Id = new HiveId(Guid.NewGuid()),

DocumentTypeId = DocumentTypeEditorModel.Id,

DocumentTypeAlias = DocumentTypeEditorModel.Alias,

ParentId = parentHiveId,

Properties = new HashSet<ContentProperty>(properties)

};

Action 2:

var documentType = GetDocumentType(DOCUMENT_TYPE_ALIAS);

Template template = null;

using(var reader = Hive.TryGetReader<IFileStore>(new Uri("storage://templates")).CreateReadonly())

{

var selectedTemplate = reader.Repositories.Get<File>(documentType.DefaultTemplateId.Value);

if (selectedTemplate != null)

{

template = FrameworkContext.TypeMappers.Map<Template>(selectedTemplate);

}

}

//setupdatabase acces to content

var groupUnit = Hive.GetWriter<IContentStore>().Create();

//get givenanswer

var hiveid = new HiveId(new Guid(formCollection.Get("Id.Value")));

var givenanswers = groupUnit.Repositories.Get<Content>(false,hiveid);

if (givenanswers.Count() != 1)

{

throw new Exception("Unexpected number of answers found found");

}

var givenanswerDb = givenanswers.First();

//set the given answer

givenanswerDb["givenAnswerAnswer"] = new HiveId(formCollection.Get("[givenAnswerAnswer]"));

//set het template

givenanswerDb.CurrentTemplate = template;

//store the givenanswer

groupUnit.Repositories.AddOrUpdate(givenanswerDb);

groupUnit.Complete();

any help is welcome

I can't update my post so here a reply:

I updated my code abit, but it still can't find the template. here is the new code, i hope some1 can help:

var writer = Hive.OpenWriter<IContentStore>();

//Gets question.

var questions = writer.Repositories.Get<Content>(false, answerQuestionViewModel.Question.Id);

//check if expected number of questions is found

if (questions.Count() != 1)

{

ViewBag.Error = string.Format("De opgevraagde vraag is niet gevonden!");

return PartialView("Index");

}

var question = questions.First();

//setup data for view

DocumentTypeEditorModel = GetDocumentType(DOCUMENT_TYPE_ALIAS);

//get the parent id

var parentHiveId = answerQuestionViewModel.UserId;

//set propertys

var nameProperty = SetProperty(NodeNameAttributeDefinition.AliasValue, new Dictionary<string, object> { { "Name", question.Name } });

var givenAnswerQuestion = SetProperty("givenAnswerQuestion", question.Id);

var givenAnswerUser = SetProperty("givenAnswerUser", answerQuestionViewModel.UserId);

var givenAnswerAnswer = SetProperty("givenAnswerAnswer", answerQuestionViewModel.Answer);

var properties = new HashSet<ContentProperty> { nameProperty, givenAnswerQuestion, givenAnswerUser, givenAnswerAnswer };

//create node

var contentNode = new ContentEditorModel

{

Id = new HiveId(Guid.NewGuid()),

DocumentTypeId = DocumentTypeEditorModel.Id,

DocumentTypeAlias = DocumentTypeEditorModel.Alias,

DocumentTypeName = DocumentTypeEditorModel.Name,

ParentId = parentHiveId,

Properties = new HashSet<ContentProperty>(properties)

};

var contentRepository = new List<ContentEditorModel> { contentNode };

//store node in DB

var mappedCollection = FrameworkContext.TypeMappers.Map<IEnumerable<ContentEditorModel>, IEnumerable<Revision<TypedEntity>>>(contentRepository).ToArray();

mappedCollection.ForEach(x => x.MetaData.StatusType = FixedStatusTypes.Published);

writer.Repositories.Revisions.AddOrUpdate(mappedCollection);

writer.Complete();

Finaly found something in the source code :

private ContentProperty SetTemplateProperty(string propertyAlias, HiveId propertyValue)

{

//NOTE: If the Umbraco API changes (an extra overload is added to new ContentProperty), this might break

var selectedTemplate = new ContentProperty((HiveId)Guid.NewGuid(),

DocumentTypeEditorModel.Properties.Where(x => x.Alias == SelectedTemplateAttributeDefinition.AliasValue).Single(),

propertyValue.IsNullValueOrEmpty() ? new Dictionary<string, object>() : new Dictionary<string, object> { { "TemplateId", propertyValue.ToString() } })

{

Name = SelectedTemplateAttributeDefinition.AliasValue,

Alias = SelectedTemplateAttributeDefinition.AliasValue,

TabId = DocumentTypeEditorModel.DefinedTabs.Where(x => x.Alias == FixedGroupDefinitions.GeneralGroup.Alias).Single().Id

};

return selectedTemplate;

}
