    Deleting Child Nodes

    Hi,

    Does anyone know of a way of deleting all child nodes from a node without going through each one individually.

    The node in questions has 100+ items within it and is one of many.

    I am guessing this issue isn't unique to me and someone may know of a package that can do this.

    Thanks

    John

    PS

    Sorry for my first post to be a cry for help.

    Hmm, well, I'm going to develop a 'Bulk Actions' package for Umbraco next week or so, but that doesn't help you at this point ;-)

    You can delete the parent node, that will delete all the child nodes.. But you'd have to recreate the parent. Still, it would save you some time.. ;-)

    You can do it in code something like this:

    Document parentNode = new Document(1350);//use id of parent node 
foreach (Document child in parentNode.Children)
{
    child.delete();
        umbraco.library.UpdateDocumentCache(child.Id);    
}
umbraco.library.RefreshContent();

    You'd need to hang that off a button somewhere, guess easiest would be make a user control and stick it in a doc restricted to admins, else you could make something in the umbraco admin if you're into that.

    You need to ref umbraco cms.dll too

    using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web;

    just a thought, how about adding the "delete all children" option (with a confirmation dialog) to the right click context menu on the content tree ?

    I 

    I used ContentService (https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Management-v6/Services/ContentService).

    See the snipet below (vb.net)

    Private Sub MyDeleteSub(id as integer)
       Dim cs = umbraco.Core.ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService
       Dim page = cs.GetById(id)
       cs.Delete(page)
    End Sub

    (Sorry my English. I'm Brazilian)

    Also might be worth to check our free version of bulkmanager that does this. http://soetemansoftware.nl/bulkmanager

    Cheers,
