<< Migrate data from EPiServer 4 and Extension 2 to EPiServer CMS 5 and EPiServer Composer | The newest EMVP: Fredrik Karlsson >>

Updating an existing EPiServer Composer function in code behind

by Fredrik Karlsson 25. March 2009 19:39

I recently posted some example code on how to create an EPiServer Composer page programatically so this is the natural follow up. Some very basic code on how to update an existing EPiServer Composer function programmatically.

// Get the extensionpage you want to update
ExtensionPageData subPage = ExtensionPageData.Load(CurrentPage.PageLink);
// Get the first content area on that page
ContentAreaData contentArea = subPage.GetContentAreas()[0];
// Get the first function on that page
// TODO: add some error handling / criterias when gettin tour desired function
ContentFunctionData block = contentArea.ContentFunctions[0];
// Get the episerver page that is the function
PageData functionPage = GetPage(block.ContentFunctionLink);
// Create a writable clone
PageData functionPageClone = functionPage.CreateWritableClone();
// Update a property
functionPageClone.Property["MainBody"].Value = new PropertyLongString("My long string");
// Save the function. make sure you use SaveAction.ForceCurrentVersion or you
// have to create a new version of the function aswell as the extensionpage
DataFactory.Instance.Save(functionPageClone, SaveAction.Publish | SaveAction.ForceCurrentVersion, AccessLevel.NoAccess);

Great looking site! Maybe you should use ads from Prosperent network. They pay based on sales not a clicks!!! That means way better money than adsense or any PPC If you are interested send me an email. I will send you invitation code. Cheers.

I possess the ability to do it (not that challenging on the technical part) but I really feel like I am too lazy to post regularly. That is the problem, if you start you have to go all the way. However blogs like yours inspire me to have a go at it.
