Change the folder of an items

In the example below, you learn how to change the item folder by specifying the media item and the new folder:

C#
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Libraries;

namespace Telerik.Sitefinity.Documentation.CodeSnippets.DevGuide.SitefinityEssentials.Modules.MediaModules.Folders.ManagingFolders
{
    public partial class FoldersSnippets
    {
        public static void ChangeItemFolder()
        {
            //gets an isntance of the LibrariesManager
            var manager = LibrariesManager.GetManager();

            //creates an image album
            var imagesAlbum = manager.CreateAlbum();
            imagesAlbum.Title = "ImageAlbumTitle1";
            manager.SaveChanges();

            //creates a folder under the album
            var folder = manager.CreateFolder(imagesAlbum);
            var folderId = folder.Id;
            folder.Title = "FolderTitle";
            manager.SaveChanges();

            //creates an image in the album and assigns the folder to the image 
            //by using the FolderId property
            var image = manager.CreateImage();
            image.Title = "imageTitle";
            image.FolderId = folderId;
            manager.SaveChanges();

            //creates another folder under the album
            var folder1 = manager.CreateFolder(imagesAlbum);
            folder1.Title = "ChildFolderTitle1";

            //changes the folder of the image
            manager.ChangeItemFolder(image, folder1);
        }
    }
}

In this example, you create an album first by CreateAlbum method of LibrariesManager. For more information, see Create image libraries. Then, you create a folder under the album by using CreateFolder method and the album as a parameter. For more informaion, see Create folders inside libraries. Then, you create an image under the folder by specifying the FolderId property. Finally, you create another folder in order to switch the image to be under the new folder. This is achieved by the ChangeItemFolder method of the LibrariesManager. It requires the image and the new folder as a parameters.
