Document Upload Problem

Posted by Community Admin on 11-Jul-2011 00:00

Hello,

I have a problem with uploading a document using sitefinity apis.

I use the code below, and when I use the debugger the code crashes at the line
librariesManager.Publish(doc);giving the following error:
"Cannot publish an item that is not a master."

LibrariesManager librariesManager = new LibrariesManager();

Guid newLibId = Guid.Empty;

int libDocsCount = 0;

App.WorkWith().DocumentLibraries().Where(i => i.Title == "CVs").Count(out libDocsCount);

Guid docLibID = new Guid();

if (libDocsCount == 0)

App.WorkWith().DocumentLibrary().CreateNew().Do(dl =>

dl.Title = "CVs";

docLibID = dl.Id;

).SaveChanges();

DocumentLibrary cvsDocLib = librariesManager.GetDocumentLibraries().Where(i => i.Title == "CVs").FirstOrDefault();

Guid docID = new Guid();

Document doc = librariesManager.CreateDocument();

doc.Library = cvsDocLib;

doc.Parent = cvsDocLib;

doc.ContentState = radUpLoad_CV.UploadedFiles[0].ContentType;

doc.Extension = radUpLoad_CV.UploadedFiles[0].GetExtension();

doc.Title = radUpLoad_CV.UploadedFiles[0].GetNameWithoutExtension();

doc.DateCreated = DateTime.Now;

doc.Status = Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Live;

librariesManager.Upload(doc, radUpLoad_CV.UploadedFiles[0].InputStream, radUpLoad_CV.UploadedFiles[0].GetExtension());

//gnerate an URL for the content item

librariesManager.RecompileItemUrls<Document>(doc);

//up to now, the item is in Draft State. We hae to call Publish method to publish it.

librariesManager.Publish(doc);

librariesManager.SaveChanges();

Hello Mohamed,

Pass the master state of the item when you make a publish. ContentManager has a method GetMaster that you can use to get an item in master state.

manager.Publish(manager.GetMaster(item))

Publish method - publishes the content in master state. Content becomes live after the publish.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I updated my code, used the code block below and it gave my another error:
"Id cannot be Empty Guid"

Document doc = librariesManager.CreateDocument();

doc.Library = cvsDocLib;

doc.Parent = cvsDocLib;

doc.ContentState = radUpLoad_CV.UploadedFiles[0].ContentType;

doc.Extension = radUpLoad_CV.UploadedFiles[0].GetExtension();

doc.Title = radUpLoad_CV.UploadedFiles[0].GetNameWithoutExtension();

doc.DateCreated = DateTime.Now;

doc.Status = Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Live;

librariesManager.Upload(doc, radUpLoad_CV.UploadedFiles[0].InputStream, radUpLoad_CV.UploadedFiles[0].GetExtension());

//gnerate an URL for the content item

librariesManager.RecompileItemUrls<Document>(doc);

//up to now, the item is in Draft State. We hae to call Publish method to publish it.

ContentManager contentManager = new ContentManager();

//contentManager.Publish(contentManager.GetMaster(doc));

//contentManager.SaveChanges();

librariesManager.Publish(librariesManager.GetMaster(doc));

librariesManager.SaveChanges();

And when I tried to give ID to the document before publish, it gave my the following error:
"Unsupported Operation: Change of identity is not supported."

doc.Id = Guid.NewGuid();

Hello Mohamed,

Below is a sample code that shows how to create and upload media item

ContentItem mediaContentItem = (ContentItem)this.manager.CreateItem(typeof(ContentItem));

mediaContentItem.Parent = this.currentLibraryAlbum;

mediaContentItem.Title = contentItem.Title;

mediaContentItem.UrlName = urlName;

mediaContentItem.Description = contentItem.Description;

mediaContentItem.DateCreated = contentItem.DateCreated;

mediaContentItem.PublicationDate = contentItem.PublicationDate;

mediaContentItem.ExpirationDate = contentItem.ExpirationDate;

string extension;

this.manager.Upload(mediaContentItem, this.GetNextMediaContentItem(out extension), extension);

this.manager.RecompileItemUrls<ContentItem>(mediaContentItem);

this.manager.Publish(mediaContentItem);
