RE:Document type api

Hello,

You can use the following code to get the temlate ID:

CMS.DataEngine.GeneralConnection conn = CMS.DataEngine.ConnectionHelper.GetConnection();
        CMS.DataEngine.ClassStructureInfo SI = CMS.DataEngine.ClassStructureInfo.GetClassInfo("cms.document", conn);
        Literal1.Text =SI.DataClassInfo.ClassDefaultPageTemplateID.ToString();

The string "cms.document" is the code name of the document type.

Best regards,
Boris Pocatko

RE:Document type api

Thanks Boris,

The code works really well. It is good to know the ClassStructureInfo class which is very useful.

What I am doing is I have already set a default page template for my custom document type. However, I realised the new documents do not pick up the default template sometimes. Now, I put the code you provide in the CustomEventHandler which ensure the template would be applied to the document.

Cheers,
Matt
