Get all media content items in a folder
The following example demonstrates how to get the ancestor items under specified folder:
C#
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Libraries.Model;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Libraries;
namespace Telerik.Sitefinity.Documentation.CodeSnippets.DevGuide.SitefinityEssentials.Modules.MediaModules.Folders.ManagingFolders
{
public partial class FoldersSnippets
{
public static IQueryable<MediaContent> GetDescendants()
{
//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);
//gets all the ancestors of the album
var ancestors = manager.GetDescendants(imagesAlbum);
return ancestors;
}
}
}
In the code above, you:
- Create an album via the
CreateAlbum**** method ofLibrariesManagerthrough the Native API. For more information, see For developers: Create image libraries. - Create a folder under the album via the
CreateFolder**** method and the album as a parameter. For more information, see For developers: Create folders inside libraries. - Create an image under the folder through the native API. For more information, see For developers: Create images.
- Create another folder and change the parent of the image to be the newly created folder. You do this via the
ChangeItemFolder**** method of theLibrariesManager. It requires the image and the new folder as a parameters. - Get all ancestor items under the album via the
GetDescendants**** method. This method requires the folder as a parameter and returns a collection of all ancestors under it.
