New-Item should be able to work with Item given as -Parent rather than paths only

[krzysztof-chmiel]

In my environment I have items with the same paths. I workarounded item creation by creating child directly in parent item:

$templateId = New-Object "Sitecore.Data.TemplateID" (New-Object "Sitecore.Data.ID" "{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}");
$newItem = $item.Add("test-item", $templateId);

In my case a -Parent and -NewItemName parameters to the New-Item command would be more approprieate as using Path would create Item only under one of my items.

Please note that using parent by newly created item can take it's language version. That would simplify running scripts in multilanguage environment.

Implemented. You can now specify -Parent parameter with a Sitecore Item variable like:

$parent = get-item master:\content\home
New-Item ChildItemName -ItemType "Cognifide/ZenGarden/ArticleTemplate" -parent $parent

will create a new Item named "ChildItemName" of type "/sitecore/templatesCognifide/ZenGarden/ArticleTemplate" under "/sitecore/content/home/" in the Master database.

What's cool thouhg is that parent can come from pipeline so if you can do:

Get-ChildItem HubPage -recurse | new-item ChildItemName -ItemType "Cognifide/ZenGarden/ArticleTemplate"

and it will add such item under every HubPage it will find in the tree under your current location!
