Change the rendition profile on several folders with the same name at once with Set-PWFolderRenditionProfile?

Currently, the Set-PWFolderRenditionProfile does not accept pipeline input. This can be added. Look for it in a future release of the PWPS_DAB module.

At this point, you could use a foreach loop to apply to each folder.

Yeah now that you mention it, it said something about dont accept pipeline input :)

Acutally tried to it with a foreach loop, but my knowledge about powershell is quite basic so I gave up. Do you mind giving me some guidance in the right directions? thanks!

this worked for me. I changed up some things to my own preferences

# allow -vebose/-debug parameters
[CmdletBinding()]
param()

Import-Module -Name "PWPS_DAB" -DisableNameChecking

## Choose folder and its subfolder which it searching in
$RootFolder = "Users\KvanHaaren"

# ANY sub-folder of $RootFolder with a name listed below will have
# its Rendition Profile changed. No matter how deep under $RootFolder.
$ChangeFolders = @("CADDLib","ics")

## Choose which view you want to change to
$NewRendition = "Project B&W"

New-PWLogin -UseGui 

$Folders = get-pwfolders -folderpath $RootFolder -Slow | where-object -Property "Name" -In -Value $ChangeFolders

# Loop through all found folders
foreach ($ThisFolder in $Folders) {
	write-verbose "Changing rendition profile on $ThisFolder.FullPath"
	try {
		Set-PWFolderRenditionProfile -FolderPath $ThisFolder.FullPath -ProfileName $NewRendition
	} catch {
		Throw "Error occured changing rendition profile on $ThisFolder.FullPath`n`n$($Error[0])"
	}
}

## Logging out
Undo-PWLogin

I always start scripts with

[CmdletBinding()]

param()

so I can use -verbose and -debug options from the command line.

I changed the $TargetFolder to an array of folder names (and the variable name to $ChangeFolders.  You can list multiple folders here and it will find every folder with that name under $RootFolder.

Be careful of this, it will match in sub-sub-folders too. so @("folderA","folder2") will match all below:

Root\FolderA

Root\Folder2

Root\FolderC\Folder2

Root\FolderD\FolderC\Folder2

the where command now uses -In instead of -Like. This allows it to match any folder in the $ChangeFolders array, however you lose your ability to use wildcards in folder names.

ForEach will set the variable $ThisFolder to a folder from the $Folders list. No set order is followed, you just know each object will pass through the loop.

Using the FullName property for the Set-PWFolderRendtionProfile will get around it not supporting pipeline objects.

I have updated each of the rendition cmdlets to accept inputfolders from the pipeline.

Get-PWFolderRenditionProfile, Set-PWFolderRenditionProfile and Remove-PWFolderRenditionProfile. Look for them in the next release of the PWPS_DAB module.

This is awesome Kevin, it works great! Thanks for that!

And cheers for adding -verbose output, was trying to add that to my own scripts so I could get some feedback from the script, now I know better how it can be used.
