Umbraco 4 FileService

Question

Ok as the name stated Umbraco 4 Fileservice, but I dont think FileService works on umbraco 4.

I have an Umbraco 4 project where I need to get all my templates, I need to extract their name, aliases, parent template and the content for personal use, but I dont know how to get all of them, in Umbraco 6 and 7 it was easy using FileService but I am on Umbraco 4.

I hope somebody here can help me to do this in Umbraco 4, because I really need to get all those templates, not only templates but also some items like macroscripts.

(please dont advise about creating packages I dont want to use that)

Thanks a lot

If you can't/won't use uSync, you'll need to write your own code to do it. The FileService was introduced in 6 I think, so it doesn't work in 4.

To get all of the templates in code, you would do something like this:

var templates = umbraco.cms.businesslogic.template.Template.GetAllAsList();

foreach (var item in templates)
{
    //template alias
    item.Alias;
    //parent id
    item.ParentId;
    //the path to the master file so you can get using system.io
    item.TemplateFilePath;
    //the name of the template
    item.Text;
}
