Checking / Creating New Folders from an SMTP Import

To check if a folder exists in the CMS already you have to create a folder list.
There is no direct commands to do this.


dim folderExists
folderExists = false

set folderlist = asset.getFolderList("/path/")

'loop through folder list
do while folderlist.nextEntry()
if folderlist.item("_cmsLabel") = "foldername"
folderExists = true
exit do
end if
loop


To create a folder in the CMS, first make a Model that only contains a folder.
Then do the following:


if folderExists = false then
'create folder
set dict = system.createDictionary()
fId = asset.create(folderName, "/Site/Global/Picture of the Week/", "/System/Models/Directory Builder", dict)
end if


The parameters for the asset.create("label", "Path", "Model to use", content or dictionary)
Labels:

Update: Simpler method just use asset.getId("/folderPath/") i believe it returns 0 if it doesn't exist.

Parsing XML in .NET

Let's say you have XML as <root>    <item>       <name1>value1</name1>       <name2>value2</name2>       <name3>value3</name3>    </item>    <item>       <name1>value1</name1>       <name2>value2</name2>    </item> </root> To parse it we use the .NET XmlDocument class: // Create the XmlDocument object XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); // Load the Xml into the object xmlDoc.Load(objResponse.GetResponseStream()); // Get the element like it was a path XmlNode errorNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("root/item/name1"); if (errorNode != null) { litResult.Text = errorNode.InnerText; return; }

Passing values from Javascript to Asp.Net

The trick to passing data from Javascript and Asp.Net is to use hidden inputs in the html. The hidden inputs should have the runat="server" attribute. For example: <input type="hidden" runat="server" id="hiddenfield" value="" /> Then in the Javascript, whatever value you are trying to pull from Asp.Net, set the hidden field using: document.getElementById("hiddenfield").value = "whatever value you want to set" And in the Asp.net form, you can just access the hiddenfield by using its id. string x = hiddenfield.value.text Thats all there is to it. You might need to check the syntax of it first as this is just all from my head.

Duplicate Items in the File -> New menu.

It looks like a bug, but the CMS is trying to figure out what kind of models would apply to the folder in question. To resolve this issue. 1. Goto the problematic folder. 2. Goto View -> Properties -> Access 3. Click on the New Tab 3. Uncheck All 'New Dependency' That's it. That should resolve the problem.
