    API v7 Allow a node to create child of type.. i.e. add to structure list

    Hi I wanted to know in code how can I allow a doc type to add a value to the structure ending up in the cmsContentTypeAllowedContentType table.

    I've tried extending the Content Types AllowedContentTypes array but am not sure if that's the right way to do it:

    var newContentTypeSize = parentType.AllowedContentTypes.Count() + 1;
                    Array.Resize(ref allowedChildContentTypes, newContentTypeSize);

                    var currentSort = allowedChildContentTypes.Max(c => c.SortOrder);
                    allowedChildContentTypes[newContentTypeSize - 1] = ???

    The way i have done it in the past (works on v6 api - no changes as far as i can see for v7) is to get a List

    List<ContentTypeSort> allowedTypes = new List<ContentTypeSort>(item.AllowedContentTypes);

    assuming you have the docType you want to add - i add it to the list and assign the list back to the original ContentType

    allowedTypes.Add(
        new ContentTypeSort(new Lazy<int>(() => allowedDoc.Id),
                              sortOrder, allowedDoc.Name));

item.AllowedContentTypes = allowedTypes;

    then you should beable to save the doctype back with the new types

    Thanks Kevin,

    the list makes it much cleaner than the array!
