Get a Folder in the PyroCMS Files Module

How do I find a Folder, and get the ID of this folder i PyroCMS Files module, using PHP. Ideally I would like to do this below, but I cant find the function for get folder by name.

    // This does not work
    $folder = Files::find_folder_by_name("MyFolder");
    $folder_id = $folder ["data"]["id"]; 

    // This part works fine
    if($folder_id==NULL) 
    {
        $ar =   Files::create_folder(0, "MyFolder");
        $folder_id = $ar["data"]["id"]; 
    }
Solution

  • There is not function named find_folder_by_name. Try following with model:

    $folder = $this->file_folders_m->get_by('name', 'MyFolder');

if(!$folder) 
{
    $ar =   Files::create_folder(0, "MyFolder");
    $folder_id = $ar["data"]["id"]; 
}

echo $folder->id; // Get folder ID

    $folder variable returns object.
