Renderer - How to select uploaded document dynamically on restClient.CreateItem();

Using Sitefinity Renderer how can i select that uploaded document dynamically on using restClient.CreateItem();

 

 

 

DTO

  1. using Progress.Sitefinity.RestSdk.Dto;
  3. namespace Renderer.Dto
  4. {
  5. [MappedSitefinityType("Telerik.Sitefinity.DynamicTypes.Model.FormsandTemplates.FormAndTemplate")]
  6. public class FormsAndTemplatesDto : SdkItem
  7. {
  8. public string Title { get; set; }
  9. public string Content { get; set; }
  10. public string ItemDefaultUrl { get; set; }
  12. public string[] Category { get; set; }
  13. public IEnumerable<DocumentDto> TemplateFile { get; set; }
  14. }
  15. }

Controller

  1. var formTemplateItem = new FormsAndTemplatesDto
  2. {
  3. Title = worksheet.Cells[row, 4].Value.ToString(),
  4. Category = categoryIds,
  5. };
  7. // Upload the new document
  8. var document = await MediaHelper.UploadDocument(
  9. restClient,
  10. fileStream,
  11. libraryId,
  12. fileName,
  13. Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fileName)
  14. );
  16. formTemplateItem.TemplateFile = new List<DocumentDto> { document };
  17. .
  18. .
  19. .
  20. //Outside Loop
  21. formTemplateItems.Add(formTemplateItem);
  24. foreach (var formTemplateItem in formTemplateItems)
  25. {
  27. var existingItemsResponse = await this.restClient.GetItems<FormsAndTemplatesDto>(new GetAllArgs()
  28. {
  29. Fields = new[] { "*" },
  30. Filter = $"Title='{formTemplateItem.Title}'",
  31. Take = 1
  32. });
  34. var existingItems = existingItemsResponse.Items;
  36. if (existingItems.Count > 0)
  37. {
  38. // Update
  39. var existingItem = existingItems[0];
  40. formTemplateItem.Id = existingItem.Id;
  41. await restClient.UpdateItem(formTemplateItem);
  42. }
  43. else
  44. {
  45. // Create
  46. await restClient.CreateItem(formTemplateItem);
  47. }
  48. }

MediaHelper.cs - source (here)

  1. using System;
  2. using Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticFiles;
  3. using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
  4. using Progress.Sitefinity.RestSdk;
  5. using Progress.Sitefinity.RestSdk.Clients.Sites.Dto;
  6. using Progress.Sitefinity.RestSdk.Dto;
  7. using Newtonsoft.Json;
  8. using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
  9. using Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticFiles;
  11. public static class MediaHelper
  12. {
  13. //Source-https://community.progress.com/s/article/net-core-how-to-upload-file-in-sitefinity-from-the-renderer-application
  14. public static async Task<DocumentDto> UploadDocument(IRestClient restClient, Stream file, Guid libraryId, string fileName, string documentTitle, string alternativeText = "")
  15. {
  16. var headers = GetUploadHeaders(fileName, libraryId, documentTitle, alternativeText);
  18. var args = new CreateArgs()
  19. {
  20. Data = GetBase64Content(file),
  21. ContentType = GetContentType(fileName),
  22. Encoding = "base64",
  23. AdditionalHeaders = headers,
  24. };
  26. // Return the created DocumentDto
  27. return await restClient.CreateItem<DocumentDto>(args);
  28. }
  30. private static Dictionary<string, string> GetUploadHeaders(string fileName, Guid parentId, string title, string alt = "")
  31. {
  32. var additionalHeaders = new Dictionary<string, string>();
  33. var headersJson = JObject.FromObject(new
  34. {
  35. Title = title,
  36. AlternativeText = alt,
  37. ParentId = parentId,
  38. DirectUpload = true,
  39. }).ToString(Formatting.None);
  40. additionalHeaders.Add("X-Sf-Properties", headersJson);
  41. additionalHeaders["X-File-Name"] = fileName;
  43. return additionalHeaders;
  44. }
  46. private static string GetBase64Content(Stream stream)
  47. {
  48. byte[] byteArray;
  49. using (BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(stream))
  50. {
  51. byteArray = br.ReadBytes((int)stream.Length);
  52. }
  54. return Convert.ToBase64String(byteArray);
  55. }
  57. private static string GetContentType(string fileName)
  58. {
  59. string contentType;
  60. new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider().TryGetContentType(fileName, out contentType);
  61. return contentType ?? "application/octet-stream";
  62. }
  64. }

From my understanding, this line of code is to assign the object to that formTemplateItem itself, but for some reason i kept on getting this error

" Progress.Sitefinity.RestSdk.Exceptions.ErrorCodeException: Specified method is not supported. "....... at line 185

 

  1. formTemplateItem.TemplateFile = new List<DocumentDto> { document };

And my line 185 is this

 

  1. await restClient.CreateItem(formTemplateItem);

I have tried a different approach but still not able to work

 

  1. formTemplateItem.TemplateFile = new[] { document };
  1. formTemplateItem.TemplateFile = new List<DocumentDto>
  2. {
  3. new DocumentDto { Id = document.Id }
  4. };

 

From within the controller, if I remove this line

  1. formTemplateItem.TemplateFile = new List<DocumentDto> { document };

Then ill be able to createItem, but the document will not be selected at all.
