    Possible to get a template id by alias

    Hi Guys,

    Is it possible to get a template ID by a given template alias?

    Many thanks,

    Damien

    I had a quick look and the FileService has a GetTemplate method with an overload that takes an alias as parameter.

     ITemplate Umbraco.Core.Services.FileService.GetTemplate(string alias)

    Depending on where you call this from you can access either via :

    ApplicationContext.Services.FileService

    OR if you're in a SurfaceController

    Services.FileService

    I haven't tried it myself but its worth a look - here's the link to the relevant FileService page

    Don't think there's a way to get the Id without first retrieving the template object though.

    HTH

    Hi Veronica,

    Thank you so much for this info, sounds like it might be exactly what I need! I'll look into it.

    All the best,

    Damien
