Set the parent of an existing page type programmatically

Vote:

Hi, I want to move a page type under another one. So I tried to change the parent Link as:

productPageType.ParentLink = pageType.ContentLink.ToPageReference();

_migrationHelper.Service.SavePage(productPageType);

The problem is after running the script, I see my page was not moved.

Can you help me?

Thank you

Hello Valdis,

Great this work.

I have another question, if possible to set the position/order where the item should be moved in the hieraquicy?

Thank you

As far as I remember (no compilation done):

var repo = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentRepository>();
var newVersion = page.CreateWritableClone();
newVersion.Property[MetaDataProperties.PagePeerOrder].Value = defaultSortOrder;

repo.Save(...);
