You should be able to delete using this - the API will always move to recycle bin though. So some kind of bug it is...

Can you dump a screen dump of how the page is placed in the tree? Does it have language versions, masters anything elser?

Thanks, Nicolai

Hi Nicolai,

Yes - see attached image.

No language versioning or masters.

We want to delete these "job"-pages.

Allan

Hi again,

Do you have info enough for debugging? - if seen as an error - when do you think we can have a bug fix?

Any workaround for page delete using the API?

Allan

Hi Allan

I've ordered TFS#46794 - but I cannot give you an estimate just yet. But hopefully next Tuesday.

BR Nicolai

Ok - thanks!

Allan

Hi there!

TFS#46794.

Any updates on this one - is it ready for us?

Allan

Hi Allan

I have a changeset for code review at my desk, been to busy... Just looked it through and have send it on for CR2 and testing.

Sorry about the delay.

BR Nicolai

Any news on this?

I'm trying to delete pages using the API and no success either.

I tried:

    var pageService = new PageService();

    pageService.DeletePage(331);

or:

    var pageService = new PageService();

    var page = pageService.GetPage(331);

    pageService.MoveToBin(page);

or even:

    var pageService = new PageService();

    var page = pageService.GetPage(331);

    using (var bin = new Dynamicweb.SystemTools.RecycleBin.RecycleBin())

    {

        pageService.MoveToExistingBin(page, bin.UnitID);

    }

All of these return Exception from Dynamicweb.

Hi Rui,

It would have helped alot if you also posted the exception(s)...

The only thing I can think of, at the top of my head, would be to try to enable the MSDTC service on the server hosting Dynamicweb.

Hi Martin,

And I've tried a new version also:

4-

    var pageService = new PageService();
    var page = pageService.GetPage(331);

    using (var bin = new Dynamicweb.SystemTools.RecycleBin.RecycleBin())
    {
        var binIt = new Dynamicweb.SystemTools.RecycleBin.RecycleItem();
        binIt.Data = "www";
        binIt.AssemblyQualifiedName = page.GetType().ToString();
        binIt.DeletedAt = DateTime.Now;
        binIt.DeletedBy = "rui";
        binIt.Description = "hkxdbkjbdkjd";
        binIt.IsPrimary = true;
        binIt.ObjectID = page.ID.ToString();

        bin.AddItem(binIt);
        pageService.MoveToExistingBin(page, bin.UnitID);
    }

That returns the exception:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Dynamicweb.Content.PageService.CreateRecycleItem(Page page)
   at Dynamicweb.Content.PageService.MoveToBin(Page page, RecycleBin bin)

   at RazorEngine.Razor.Parse[T](String razorTemplate, T model, String cacheName)
   at Dynamicweb.Rendering.Template.RenderRazorTemplate()

Here is what I was able to do:

1. Create new blank page. Find the id (701).

2. Create another new blank page. Add a paragraph and find the template for this paragraph.

3. Include relevant imports.

4. Place this code on the template: 

@using Dynamicweb.Extensibility
@using Dynamicweb.Content
@using System;
@using System.Globalization;
@using System.Linq
@using System.IO
@using Dynamicweb.Core
@using System.Web 

@GetValue("ParagraphText")
@GetValue("ParagraphModule")

@{
 var page = Dynamicweb.Services.Pages.GetPage(701);
 Dynamicweb.Services.Pages.DeletePage(701);
}

This code can be executed multiple times in a row without exceptions. First time it is run, the page gets moved to the recycle bin.

Can you post what you did? And can you also try with a new page where you havnt experimented quite as much?

Martin

Did you ever find a solution to this? I am hitting the same: 

Dynamicweb.SystemTools.RecycleBin.RecycleBinException: Primary item must have a value before committing

From where and how?

Custom code?

Well similar to what Rui have posted earlier.

I got a page that when loaded checks for old pages, news and such, and either moves them into certain folders (Dynamicweb.Services.Pages.Move(page.ID, areaId, folderId) <- works fine. but if I instead use Dynamicweb.Services.Pages.DeletePage(page.ID), I get the before mentioned error - I also looked at page.Delete(), but it seems to be doing something completely different.

I tried creating a new page, and just typed its ID manually, but results in same error, all the pages ofc. have an itemtype aswell, I haven't tested with a simple page.
