    Uploading a file to the Media Library via Code

    Hello,

    I'm wondering if one of you talented devs is able to answer my question.

    Can someone tell me how you upload a file to the media library, I've looked at the MediaService and while you can create Media, I can't see how you upload a file to go with the MediaType.

    I've got a file uploader on the frontend of my website and I need to upload and add custom information like Title, Description, Category to the file.

    Any examples would be greatly appreaciated

    Many Thanks

    Paul

    Hi Paul,

    The Mediaservice is the way to go. Use a FileStream to read the file and use .SetValue method to store the file

    using (var fs = System.IO.File.OpenRead("/myfile"))
                                        {
                                            media.SetValue(prop.Alias, "filename", fs);
                                        }
    

    When you save the media it should have the file stored.

    Hope this helps,

    Richard

    Just to confirm Richards suggestion worked a treat. Many Thanks

    Here's my code if anyone needs it - I used it in a custom workflow for contour.

                IMediaService ms = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MediaService;
                string path = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(selectedFile);
    
                using (var fs = System.IO.File.OpenRead(path))
                {
                    var mediaFile = ms.CreateMedia(selectedFileName, 1357, "File");
    
                    string originalFileName = selectedFile.Split('/').Last();
    
                    mediaFile.SetValue("umbracoFile", originalFileName, fs);
    
                    mediaFile.SetValue("title", selectedFileName);
                    mediaFile.SetValue("description", selectedFileDesc);
    
                    ms.Save(mediaFile);
    
                }

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for this post...

    I got an error when I using the above code in my app.

    IMediaService ms = Services.MediaService;
     string path_ = Server.MapPath("~/Assets/rahim.jpg"); 
    using (var fs = System.IO.File.OpenRead(path_)) 
    {
     var mediaFile = ms.CreateMedia("rahim", uQuery.GetMediaByName(ParentMediaName).FirstOrDefault().Id, "Image",0); 
    mediaFile.SetValue("umbracoFile", fs);
     ms.Save(mediaFile); 
    }

     

    this is my error

    The best overloaded method match for 'Umbraco.Core.Models.ContentBase.SetPropertyValue(string, string)' has some invalid arguments

    on this line

     mediaFile.SetValue("umbracoFile", fs);

     

    please help me

    Hi Abdul,

    The only difference I noticed in the code was that in mine I had:-

    mediaFile.SetValue("umbracoFile", originalFileName, fs);

    where as in yours it was:-

    mediaFile.SetValue("umbracoFile", fs);

    Try setting the new filename, when you're saving the file.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers

    Paul

                {
                    //Declare a new dictionary to store the parameters for the image versions.
                    var versions = new Dictionary<string, string>();               
    
                    //Define the versions to generate

                        newMedia.getProperty("umbracoExtension").Value = "jpg";
                        int created_media_Id = newMedia.Id;
                        newMedia.Save();
                        return created_media_Id.ToString();
                    }
    
                }

    Hi Abdul,

    You can alter the styles, by creating your form in the back office and clicking on the Actions button in the top right hand corner and select the Styling option. From here you can disable the built in stylesheet and use your own.

    Alternatively, if that doesn't work you can take a look in the following folder:-

    /Views/Partials/Forms/Fieldtypes

    In here, you'll find the templates for each form element.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers

    Paul

    Addressing the compilation error Abdul was having when passing in a FileStream - you need to add a using statement for Umbraco.Core.Models to get the SetValue() overload that takes a FileStream.

    using Umbraco.Core.Models;
