    Loop through content tree and change document type

    Hi

    I need to loop through a list of nodes and change their document type to a new doc type. I need to do this programmatically. Any ideas?

    Hi Euge

    You can change document type of content item with this code:

    var node = ApplicationContext.Services.ContentService.GetById(yourNodeId);
var anotherContentType = ApplicationContext.Services.ContentTypeService.GetContentType(yourContentTypeId);

node.ChangeContentType(anotherContentType, clearPropertyesOrNoBoolValue);
ApplicationContext.Services.ContentService.Save(node);

    Thanks,

    Alex

    OK thanks Alex so will this automatically map all the doc type properties to new GUIDs?

    You are welcome, Euge, yes it changes the IContentType for the current Content object and removes PropertyTypes and Properties, which are not part of the new ContentType. Please use with caution as this remove differences between the new and old ContentType.

    Also, it's db operation so it can be long operation if you want to do it in the loop with tons of nodes.
