Hi everyone. A client just asked med to figure out where certain files are located on their solution. They have a HUGE media library, and alle I've got to go after is the url to the file: /media/53278/the-file-name.pdf Is there any clever way to locate to parent folder path of this file? Maybe by going straight to the database?

Hi Morten, With the query below I can find my Company Logo in the Database (not a huge structure) but it's similar to your request I think. Code:Select UmbracoNode.ParentId as ParentNode, UmbracoNode.Id as Node from UmbracoNode
INNER JOIN cmsPropertyData on UmbracoNode.Id = cmsPropertyData.ContentNodeId
where dataNvarchar = '/media/190/soetemansoftwarelogo.jpg' Hope this helps. Richard

Morten, The number in the path relates to a property in the database. cmsPropertyData table id field to be exact. This record should have a reference to a contentNodeId. From there, you can get the path from the node using either GetMedia, or a direct call to umbracoNode table with the path and parent fields. Hope this helps

Ok, I have tried the approaches, and no records are returned. I'm guessing this means that they have deleted the folder containing the files that they are looking for. Is that a valid conclusion? I also tried this: select * from cmscontentxml where [xml] like '%nodeTypeAlias="File%' and [xml] like '%/media/53278/lf-elf_no_200.pdf%' which didn't return anything either.

Yes, they could have deleted the umbraco node with the data, and the file still exist (personal annoyance of mine too). The latter select nodeTypeAlias should be umbracoFile if I am correct. If they deleted the node tree, hopefully you have a backup of the database that has those entries, and can extract them out, and restore them to the other database.
