Add renderings for all specific folder items using PS

Question

We have a following structure :

master:/content/market1/myfolder
master:/content/market2/myfolder
master:/content/market3/myfolder

etc.

I would like to add renderings for all items within "myfolder" and also for all markets using PowerShell script (there is like 15 items in myfolder and also like 20 markets, so nobody wants to do it manually).

I am pretty new here. Did someone experienced something like this?

Thank you very much.

You can use the below script to add rendering to the items.

$containerArray = @("{Sitecore Id goes here}","{Sitecore Id goes here}","{Sitecore Id goes here}")

foreach ($element in $containerArray){
    $items = Get-ChildItem -ID $element.ID -Language "en"

    $addedRendering = Get-Item "master:path to your rendering goes here" | New-Rendering -Placeholder "contentMain" 

    foreach($item in $items){
        Write-Host "Processing item: " $item.Name
        Add-Rendering -Item $item -PlaceHolder "contentMain" -Rendering $renderingItem
    }
}

Note

1. Replace the {Sitecore Id goes here} with the Id of the containers.

2. You can change the language if required.

3. You need to specify the name of the placeholder so that it knows where to add the rendering.
