 The following example creates a workflow scope.

 

private bool CreateWorkflowScope()

{

  // Get the workflow

  WorkflowInfo workflow = WorkflowInfoProvider.GetWorkflowInfo("MyNewWorkflow");

 

  if (workflow != null)

   {

      // Create new workflow scope object

      WorkflowScopeInfo newScope = new WorkflowScopeInfo();

 

      // Get the site default culture from settings

      string cultureCode = SettingsKeyProvider.GetStringValue(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName + ".CMSDefaultCultureCode");

      CultureInfo culture = CultureInfoProvider.GetCultureInfo(cultureCode);

 

      // Get root document type class ID

      int classID = DataClassInfoProvider.GetDataClass("CMS.Root").ClassID;

 

      // Set the properties

       newScope.ScopeStartingPath = "/";

       newScope.ScopeCultureID = culture.CultureID;

       newScope.ScopeClassID = classID;

 

       newScope.ScopeWorkflowID = workflow.WorkflowID;

       newScope.ScopeSiteID = CMSContext.CurrentSiteID;

 

      // Save the workflow scope

      WorkflowScopeInfoProvider.SetWorkflowScopeInfo(newScope);

 

      return true;

   }

 

  return false;

}

 

The following example gets and updates the workflow scope created by the code example above.

 

private bool GetAndUpdateWorkflowScope()

{

 

  // Get the workflow

  WorkflowInfo workflow = WorkflowInfoProvider.GetWorkflowInfo("MyNewWorkflow");

 

  if (workflow != null)

   {

      // Get the workflow's scopes

      DataSet scopes = WorkflowScopeInfoProvider.GetWorkflowScopes(workflow.WorkflowID);

 

      if (!DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(scopes))

       {

          // Create the scope info object

          WorkflowScopeInfo updateScope = new WorkflowScopeInfo(scopes.Tables[0].Rows[0]);

 

          // Update the properties - the scope will include all cultures and document types

           updateScope.ScopeCultureID = 0;

           updateScope.ScopeClassID = 0;

 

          // Save the changes

          WorkflowScopeInfoProvider.SetWorkflowScopeInfo(updateScope);

 

          return true;

       }

      else

       {

          // No scope was found

           apiGetAndUpdateWorkflowScope.ErrorMessage = "The scope was not found.";

       }

   }

 

  return false;

}

 

The following example deletes the workflow scope created by the first example on this page.

 

private bool DeleteWorkflowScope()

{

  // Get the workflow

  WorkflowInfo workflow = WorkflowInfoProvider.GetWorkflowInfo("MyNewWorkflow");

 

  if (workflow != null)

   {

 

      // Get the workflow's scopes

      DataSet scopes = WorkflowScopeInfoProvider.GetWorkflowScopes(workflow.WorkflowID);

 

      if (!DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(scopes))

       {

          // Create the scope info object

          WorkflowScopeInfo deleteScope = new WorkflowScopeInfo(scopes.Tables[0].Rows[0]);

 

          // Delete the workflow scope

          WorkflowScopeInfoProvider.DeleteWorkflowScopeInfo(deleteScope);

 

          return true;

       }

      else

       {

          // No scope was found

           apiDeleteWorkflowScope.ErrorMessage = "The scope was not found.";

       }

   }

 

  return false;

}
