I feel like I've been banging my head against a wall,
I can quite happily create and save the file using the MediaService with the code below:
var ms = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MediaService;
IMedia mimage = ms.CreateMedia(model.attachment.FileName, -1, "Image");
mimage.SetValue(Constants.Conventions.Media.File, model.attachment);
ms.Save(mimage);
When I run the code above I will have a file with the following path '/media/1234/image.jpg' for example.
I want to be able to update this keeping the same file directory e.g. '/media/1234/updatedimage.jpg' using the mediaservice, is this possible? or do I need to use System.IO?
You can do it with .SetValue(string propertyTypeAlias, object value) method. It is possible to pass a HttpPostedFile, HttpPostedFileBase or HttpPostedFileWrapper to the SetValue method, so it can be used for uploads
If I run the same code above for an update, it creates a new folder with the file in, this is because it is using '.CreateMedia()'.
For example:
Run code first time gives me the following folder structure:
'/media/1001/image.jpg'
Run code second time gives me the following folder structure:
'/media/1002/newimage.jpg'
I want to update the file, keeping the original folder '/media/1001/newimage.jpg'
I even tried the following:
var ms = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MediaService;
IMedia mimage = ms.GetMediaByPath(original-image);
mimage.SetValue(Constants.Conventions.Media.File, new-file);
ms.Save(mimage);
This doesn't work either, to be honest '.GetMediaByPath' finds the file first time, then returns null afterwards. I think there is a bug with this method.
I'm trying to replicate the file upload function from the back-end on the front-end.
mediaservice - how do I update an existing file programmatically
