- Deleting attachments
Getting the attachments of a page
// Creates a new instance of the Tree provider
TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser);
// Gets a page
TreeNode page = tree.SelectNodes()
.Path("/Articles")
.OnCurrentSite()
.Culture("en-us")
.TopN(1)
.FirstOrDefault();
if (page != null)
{
// Iterates over all document attachments of the page
foreach (DocumentAttachment attachment in page.AllAttachments)
{
// Perform any action with the attachment object (DocumentAttachment)
}
}
// To get only unsorted attachments, use the TreeNode.Attachments collection
// To get only page field attachments, use the TreeNode.GroupedAttachments collection
Inserting attachments into page fields
// Creates a new instance of the Tree provider
TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser);
// Gets a page
TreeNode page = tree.SelectNodes("CMS.Article")
.Path("/Articles")
.OnCurrentSite()
.Culture("en-us")
.TopN(1)
.FirstOrDefault();
if (page != null)
{
DocumentAttachment attachment = null;
// Prepares the path of the file
string file = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/FileFolder/file.png");
// Inserts the attachment into the 'ArticleTeaserImage' field and updates the page
attachment = DocumentHelper.AddAttachment(page, "ArticleTeaserImage", file);
page.Update();
}
Inserting grouped attachments into page fields
// Creates a new instance of the Tree provider
TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser);
// Gets a page
TreeNode page = tree.SelectNodes()
.Path("/Articles")
.OnCurrentSite()
.Culture("en-us")
.TopN(1)
.FirstOrDefault();
if (page != null)
{
DocumentAttachment attachment = null;
// Prepares the path of the file
string file = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/FileFolder/file.png");
// Generates a new GUID for the attachment
Guid attachmentGuid = Guid.NewGuid();
// Prepares the GUID of the grouped attachment page field (of the 'Attachments' data type)
// To find the GUID of a field:
// Navigate to the 'Page types' application -> Select the Page type -> 'Fields' tab -> Select the field
Guid fieldGuid = Guid.Parse("2458d5fd-54f0-4a07-b2cf-a45c38e793db");
// Inserts the attachment into the field specified by the GUID and updates the page
attachment = DocumentHelper.AddGroupedAttachment(page, attachmentGuid, fieldGuid, file);
}
Adding unsorted attachments to pages
// Creates a new instance of the Tree provider
TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser);
// Gets a page
TreeNode page = tree.SelectNodes()
.Path("/Articles")
.OnCurrentSite()
.Culture("en-us")
.TopN(1)
.FirstOrDefault();
if (page != null)
{
// Prepares the path of the file
string file = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/FileFolder/file.png");
// Adds the file as an attachment of the page
DocumentHelper.AddUnsortedAttachment(page, Guid.NewGuid(), file);
}
Changing the order of unsorted attachments
// Creates a new instance of the Tree provider
TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser);
// Gets a page
TreeNode page = tree.SelectNodes()
.Path("/Articles")
.OnCurrentSite()
.Culture("en-us")
.TopN(1)
.FirstOrDefault();
if (page != null)
{
// Gets an attachment by file name
DocumentAttachment attachment = DocumentHelper.GetAttachment(page, "file.png");
// Moves the attachment down in the list
DocumentHelper.MoveAttachmentDown(attachment.AttachmentGUID, page);
// Moves the attachment up in the list
DocumentHelper.MoveAttachmentUp(attachment.AttachmentGUID, page);
}
Modifying attachment metadata
// Creates a new instance of the Tree provider
TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser);
// Gets a page
TreeNode page = tree.SelectNodes()
.Path("/Articles")
.OnCurrentSite()
.Culture("en-us")
.TopN(1)
.FirstOrDefault();
if (page != null)
{
// Gets an attachment by file name
DocumentAttachment attachment = DocumentHelper.GetAttachment(page, "file.png");
// Edits the attachment's metadata (name, title and description)
attachment.AttachmentName += " - modified";
attachment.AttachmentTitle = "Attachment title";
attachment.AttachmentDescription = "Attachment description.";
// Ensures that the attachment can be updated without supplying its binary data
attachment.AllowPartialUpdate = true;
// Saves the modified attachment into the database
attachment.Update();
}
Deleting attachments
// Creates a new instance of the Tree provider
TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser);
// Gets a page
TreeNode page = tree.SelectNodes()
.Path("/Articles")
.OnCurrentSite()
.Culture("en-us")
.TopN(1)
.FirstOrDefault();
if (page != null)
{
// Gets an attachment by file name
DocumentAttachment attachment = DocumentHelper.GetAttachment(page, "file.png");
// Deletes the attachment
DocumentHelper.DeleteAttachment(page, attachment.AttachmentGUID);
