    Multiple values in Field Provider

    Using CMSImport

    Hi,

    I've been through the forum and can't find anything related to this - so apologies if I've missed it and this is a duplicate post!

    I'm importing from an XML file which looks like this:

    <CONTENT>
    <ARTICLE>
    <PAGENAME>News Article 1</PAGENAME>
    <PAGECONTENT>&lt;p&gt;Testing 1&lt;/p&gt;</PAGECONTENT>
    <LANGUAGE>ENGLISH</LANGUAGE>
    </ARTICLE>
    <ARTICLE>
    <PAGENAME>News Article 2</PAGENAME>
    <PAGECONTENT>&lt;p&gt;Testing 2&lt;/p&gt;</PAGECONTENT>
    <LANGUAGE>SPANISH</LANGUAGE>
    </ARTICLE>
    </CONTENT>

    I have a Field Provider which maps against a RTE as I'm importing "PAGECONTENT" from the XML file above.

    However, I'd like my Field Provider to also include the <LANGUAGE> as well as the <PAGECONTENT> node as I would like to apply some logic based on the language before assigning the value to the RTE within Umbraco.

    Can anyone help?

    Many thanks,
    Rick

    Hi Rick,

    You can solve this in two ways:

    1. Use the RecordImported event (check the manual for an example) there you have the document and all properties from the datasource
    2. Create a custom dataprovider where you cna modify the data in any format you like. Looks like a bit overkill for this solution.

    Hope this helps.

    Best,

    Richard

    Hi Richard,

    I used the RecordImported event in the end like you suggested, I then iterate through my xml file and apply logic based on the language node.

    However, in the event signature for RecordImported - the object that comes in is a Document which means I have to then use the obsolete method ...

    Document doc = sender as Document;
    doc.getProperty("basePageBodyContent").Value = htmlValue;
    doc.SaveAndPublish(User.GetUser(0));

    ... to set the value of the RTE.

    Ideally, I'd like to use IContent so that I can use:

    IContent doc = (IContent)sender;

    doc.SetValue("basePageBodyContent", htmlValue);

    Is this possible or am I bound to using Document?

    Thank you so much

    Rick

    Hi Rick,

    sorry didn't receive a notification on the comment. In 2.5 it's Document. For V3 this will be Icontent.

    Best,

    Richard

    Hi Richard,

    No problem. Is it safe to install and use CMS Import V3 if the package is still in Beta?

    Thanks,
    Rick

    Hi Rick

    Yes you can it is supported, if you have definitions created those will be deleted and you need to recreate those ,relation data will be kept in the database so it stills knows which nodes to update etc.

    Hope this helps,

    Richard
