PowerShell for EPiServer – cheat sheet – Part 2
May 10th, 2011 by Adam Najmanowicz | Leave a Comment
Most of this post is also based on the Microsoft’s Windows PowerShell Quick Reference however despite the sharing scripting runtimes the nature of the both shells differ considerably as described in the previous post: PowerShell for EPiServer – cheat sheet – Part 1. In all cases where it made sense I’ve converted the samples to establish them in EPiServer scenarios.
How to Write Conditional Statements
To write an If statement use code similar to this:
$page = Get-CurrentPage;
$changedBy = $page.ChangedBy;
$me = [EPiServer.Security.PrincipalInfo]::Current;
$myName = $me.Name;
if ($changedBy -eq "")
{ "Unspecified author - a system page?" }
elseif ($changedBy -eq $myName)
{ "The page has been last edited by me!" }
else
{ "The page has been last edited by "+ $changedBy }
Instead of writing a series of If statements you can use a Switch statement, which is equivalent to VBScript’s Select Case statement:
$page = Get-CurrentPage;
switch ($page.PageChildOrderRule) {
0 {"Undefined sort order. "}
1 {"Most recently created page will be first in list"}
2 {"Oldest created page will be first in list"}
3 {"Sorted alphabetical on name"}
4 {"Sorted on page index"}
5 {"Most recently changed page will be first in list"}
6 {"Sort on ranking, only supported by special controls"}
7 {"Oldest published page will be first in list"}
8 {"Most recently published page will be first in list"}
default {"No idea what that means!"}
}
