Uninstall package and Media Types

Hi,

I am trying to uninstall the package and remove the media types that it creates from a production site. Is there a way to change media created as type File-Word, File-Pdf, etc. to the standard File type without other side effects?

TIA Marco

Hi Marco, it seemed like a great idea at the time, but since then umbraco killed off the ability to access child media types

here is a Gits that will set the mediatypes back to "File" when you save a media type

Thanks! I used your example as a basis for a template that changes each media of type File-xxx to File (to be run after the package is uninstalled):

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage

@using Umbraco.Core;
@using Umbraco.Core.Logging;
@using Umbraco.Core.Models;
@using Umbraco.Core.Services;

@{
    Layout = null;

    IMediaService mediaService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MediaService;
    IContentTypeService contentTypeService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentTypeService;

    IMediaType fileMediaType = contentTypeService.GetMediaType("File");
}
<html>
<head>
    <title>Media Type changer</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Convert File children types to File type</h1>
    @foreach (IMediaType subFileType in contentTypeService.GetMediaTypeChildren(fileMediaType.Id))
    {
        <h2>Converting @subFileType.Name to @fileMediaType.Name</h2>
        IEnumerable<IMedia> filesToConvert = mediaService.GetMediaOfMediaType(subFileType.Id);
        int cnt = 0;
        foreach (IMedia file in filesToConvert)
        {
            file.ChangeContentType(fileMediaType);
            mediaService.Save(file);
            cnt++;
            <p>@cnt/@filesToConvert.Count() - @file.Name converted to @fileMediaType.Name</p>
        }
    }
</body>
</html>
