MediaFileInfo updateFile = MediaFileInfoProvider.GetMediaFileInfo(library.LibraryID, file.Name);
The above line of code is not removing the file from the media library as I expected. This is for a Scheduled Task in Kentico 11 MVC. The new file does get created and is renamed by the System to prevent conflicts. I would like to delete the existing file before importing the updated version of the file. I would even be satisfied if the new file overwrote the existing file.
public void UpdateMediaFile(MediaLibraryInfo library, string fileName, string importPath) { //LumberMarketReport.pdf and PanelMarketReport.pdf
if (library != null)
{
// Prepares a path to a local file
string filePath = fileName;
// Prepares a CMS.IO.FileInfo object representing the local file
CMS.IO.FileInfo file = CMS.IO.FileInfo.New(filePath);
if (file != null)
{
#region "Delete Existing"
MediaFileInfo updateFile = MediaFileInfoProvider.GetMediaFileInfo(library.LibraryID, file.Name);
if (updateFile != null)
{
MediaFileInfoProvider.DeleteMediaFileInfo(updateFile);
}
#endregion
#region "Create File"
// Creates a new media library file object
MediaFileInfo mediaFile = new MediaFileInfo(filePath, library.LibraryID);
// Sets the media library file properties
mediaFile.FileName = file.Name;
mediaFile.FileDescription = "This file was added through the API.";
mediaFile.FilePath = "/"; // Sets the path within the media library's folder structure
mediaFile.FileExtension = file.Extension;
mediaFile.FileMimeType = MimeTypeHelper.GetMimetype(file.Extension);
mediaFile.FileSiteID = SiteContext.CurrentSiteID;
mediaFile.FileLibraryID = library.LibraryID;
mediaFile.FileSize = file.Length;
if (file.Name == "PanelMarketReport.pdf")
{
mediaFile.FileTitle = "Panel Market Report";
mediaFile.SetValue("FileCategoryID", 19);
}
else if (file.Name == "LumberMarketReport.pdf")
{
mediaFile.FileTitle = "Lumber Market Report";
mediaFile.SetValue("FileCategoryID", 57);
}
// Saves the media library file
MediaFileInfoProvider.SetMediaFileInfo(mediaFile);
#endregion
}
}
}
I would add logging to make sure your code is getting hit. Make sure updatefile isn't null. I think you have to pass in the file path in the media library and not just the name.
