Getting hold of page directory before first save
Vote:
Hello. I have a custom property that wants to reach a page's unified directory folder. This is normally done by something like
PageReference CurrentPageLink = ((EPiServer.PageBase)Page).CurrentPageLink;
PageReference thisPageRef = new PageReference(CurrentPageLink);
UnifiedPageDirectory.Get(thisPageRef);
But...for new page's (i.e. not yet saved or published), CurrentPageLink refers to nothing (pageID = 0)
How to do?

The code should read:
PageReference CurrentPageLink = ((EPiServer.PageBase)container.Page).CurrentPageLink;
UnifiedPageDirectory.Get(CurrentPageLink);
...sorry

You could try something like this (from the sample code):
#14119
public override void InitializeData(ApplicationConfiguration config, PropertyDataCollection properties)
{
if (!properties["PageLink"].IsNull)
_prPage = (PageReference)properties["PageLink"].Value;
else
_prPage = (PageReference)properties["PageParentLink"].Value;
base.InitializeData (config, properties);
}
But what I have found is when the page is first created (not saved) "PageLink" does not have a value, but obviously "PageParentLink" does. However, after having a look at the collection of properties in the properties parameter, the new pages folder id is populated "PageFolderID". You could take that ID and do what you need to with the folder.
Hope this helps,
Jeremy
