I have just managed to upload a bunch of pages into Umbraco and realised that they are using the incorrect template. How can I edit the template property, or any other property programmatically.
Up until now I have been adding whole pages to Umbraco and have not had to edit any content in bulk. If I want to change all the pages that are of a particular Document Type to use a different template where would I start?
Cheers,
Dan

I struggled with the same, but its quite simple:
umbraco.BusinessLogic.User user = new umbraco.BusinessLogic.User(YOURUSERNAME, YOURPASSWORD);
Document post = new Document(NODEID OF DOCUMENT YOU WANT TO EDIT);
post.getProperty("YOURPRPERTY").Value = "your new value";
post.Publish(user);
umbraco.library.PublishSingleNode(post.Id);

Hi Peter, That's great. The code works well for any properties I have defined myself. However, I need to set a different Template for particular pages (of a particular document type) and I'm not sure how to refer to the template field as it is not one I have created myself. Code:
Dim user As New umbraco.BusinessLogic.User("username", "password")
Dim post As New Document(doc number as int here)
post.getProperty("property name here").Value = "value to be changed"
post.Publish(user)
umbraco.library.PublishSingleNode(post.Id)
I have tried the above code (converted to vb.net from your c#) which works fine when I know the name of the property. Do you have any idea how I refer to the template field dropdown so as to change it? I've tried "Template" and "NodeTypeAlias" but I get a NullReferenceException. Is the template referenced in a different fashion, or have I just got the property name wrong? Thanks for your help. Dan

I havent tested this, but try to add this:
DocumentType dt = DocumentType.GetByAlias("your new documenttype alias");
post.Template = dt.Id;

Hi Peter, Code:DocumentType dt = DocumentType.GetByAlias("your new documenttype alias"; Unfortunately this didn't return the Id of the Template. Code:post.Template = 1234; However, this bit did the trick. As long as I know the Id of the Template in advance this works well. Thanks for your help. You've saved me a whole heap of manual updating.

Weirdness on post update. This worked (1234 being the Id of the template). Code:post.Template = 1234;
