using CopyPageData

• I am trying to copy a page programatically.  When the CopyPageData() method executes I get the following error:

Not a managed persistent instance.

Parameter name: component

Actual value was Telerik.Sitefinity.Pages.Model.PageNode.

• Here is my code, which is commented to explain exactly where the problem is:

var fluent = App.WorkWith().Page();

var mgrFluent = fluent.PageManager;

PageData sourcePageData =

mgrFluent.GetPageDataList().Where(pd => pd.Title == "myExistingPageDataTitle").FirstOrDefault();

// my MakeNewPage() creates a page that can display in the SF gui (a valid one)

// and is in a row of both sf_page_data and sf_page_node

PageData pd1 = MakeNewPage("theNewPageTitle4");

var ci = new CultureInfo(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name, true);

// in debug both sourcePageData and pd1 are populated w id etc from db

mgrFluent.CopyPageData(sourcePageData, pd1);

//  same error if I use this overload

// mgrFluent.CopyPageData(sourcePageData, pd1, ci, ci, true);

How can I successfully use CopyPageData() ?  Thanks.

Any progress on this?  Solving this is becoming critical on our Gantt chart.  :-)

Thanks.

Hello Phil,

You have to operate with the page node instead of using the PageData object.

That worked.  On my first try I got the error: Object references between two different object scopes are not allowed ....   So I had to create the parent PageNode object and do the Duplicate method w the same App.WorkWith.Page object.

var mgr = App.WorkWith().Page(guidSourcePage);

PageNode parentPage =

mgr.PageManager.GetPageNodes().Where(pi => pi.Id == parentId).FirstOrDefault();

        mgr.Duplicate().Do(

                p =>

                    p.Title = newPageName;

                    p.UrlName = newPageName;

                    p.ShowInNavigation = true;

                    p.Parent = parentPage; 

                    if (p.Page != null)

                        p.Page.Title = newPageName;

                ).SaveChanges();
