Template on Page Create

Posted by Community Admin on 04-Nov-2010 00:00

How do I get the ids for the stock templates?

I am doing a lot of page generation. I have figured out how to create pages and add controls and modules. I haven't figured out yet how to add a template.

PageManager pManager = new PageManager();

Guid templateGuid = pManager.GetTemplates().First().Id;

App.WorkWith()

.Page()

.CreateNewStandardPage(PageLocation.Frontend)

.Do(p =>

p.Name = "Page1";

p.Title = "This is a test page";

p.Description = "Some Description here";

p.DateCreated = DateTime.Now; //filled in automatically, but you can control it programatically as well

p.UrlName = "page1"; //filled in automatically, but you can set any url name here.

p.ShowInNavigation = true;

)

.SetTemplateTo(templateGuid)

.SaveChanges();

SiteMapBase.Cache.Flush();

This code appears to add a template but I don't see the SetTemplateTo Method in the API.

Where this is shown in the example

Hi jaime,

You can use GetTemplates() method of PageManager class. The method returns IQueryable<PageTemplate>.

The GetTemplates() method hasnt been working for me, so this is what I did.
- the SF database, I did select * FROM sf_page_templates
- the id field has the guids for the templates in there, the title_ has the description
- in the code I did
- var templateGuid = new Guid("f669d9a7-009d-4d83-bbbb-000000000007");

To replace the following in the Fluent API example
var templateGuid = pManager.GetTemplates().First().Id;

Hello Phillip,

I am not able to replicate any issues with GetTemplate method with the latest internal builds.

var manager = PageManager.GetManager();

var templates = manager.GetTemplates();

foreach (PageTemplate t in templates)

var n = t.Name;

var id = t.Id;

how do you set the template when you create a page?

the SetTemplate method isn't in the API anymore.

Hi,

Each PageData object has a property Template which you can use to set a template.

pagedata.Template = pageManager.GetTemplates().First();
pageManager.SaveChanges();
SiteMapBase.Cache.Flush();
