Tree node document publish state

Hello

I am using 5.5.

I am programatically changing the 'publish to' date on a document on a webcontrol, updating and then publishing the document. So, the date should determine if the document shows as published in the tree node. The objective is to unpublish a document in this instance.

Immediately, I open the tree node and click down the children to the document in question. I view it on the 'Forms' tab and the 'publish to' date shows correctly, but the tree node object still shows incorrectly. The date is in the past, so I expect the node document to show unpublished.

Is this a known issue in 5.5?

If you immediately save and publish in the tree, the state corrects.

Versioning internals How to update document is shown in this API example: update document API example As always, please make sure that you are using the latest hotfix.

RE:Tree node document publish state

It's done here....pretty much verbatim from the examples.

       TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider( CMSContext.CurrentUser );
        VersionManager vm = new VersionManager( tree );
         CMS.TreeEngine.TreeNode parentNode = tree.SelectSingleNode(PlansNode.NodeParentID);
         
        parentnode.SetValue( "DocumentPublishFrom", publishfrom_dtp.DateTimeTextBox.Text );
        parentnode.SetValue( "DocumentPublishTo", publishto_dtp.DateTimeTextBox.Text );
 
        vm.CheckOut( parentnode );
        DocumentHelper.UpdateDocument( parentnode, tree );
        vm.CheckIn( parentnode, null, null );
        PublishDocument( tree, parentnode );

/*

*/

        public static void PublishDocument( TreeProvider tree, TreeNode node )
        {
            try
            {
                WorkflowManager wm = new WorkflowManager( tree );
                WorkflowInfo wi = wm.GetNodeWorkflow( node );

                if ( wi != null )
                {
                    WorkflowStepInfo si = wm.GetStepInfo( node );
                    if ( si != null )
                    {
                        // Use the workflow step information to approve the document until it is published
                        while ( si.StepName.ToLower() != "published" )
                        {
                            si = wm.MoveToNextStep( node, "" );
                            if ( si == null )
                            {
                                break;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex )
            { }
        }

RE:Tree node document publish state

Ignore that last code example. Was not right. This one is right.


       TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider( CMSContext.CurrentUser );
        VersionManager vm = new VersionManager( tree );
         CMS.TreeEngine.TreeNode parentNode = tree.SelectSingleNode(PlansNode.NodeParentID);
        if (parentNode != null)
            parentNode = DocumentHelper.GetDocument(parentNode, tree);

        parentnode.SetValue( "DocumentPublishFrom", publishfrom_dtp.DateTimeTextBox.Text );
        parentnode.SetValue( "DocumentPublishTo", publishto_dtp.DateTimeTextBox.Text );
 
        vm.CheckOut( parentnode );
        DocumentHelper.UpdateDocument( parentnode, tree );
        vm.CheckIn( parentnode, null, null );
        PublishDocument( tree, parentnode );
/*
*
*/
        public static void PublishDocument( TreeProvider tree, TreeNode node )
        {
            try
            {
                WorkflowManager wm = new WorkflowManager( tree );
                WorkflowInfo wi = wm.GetNodeWorkflow( node );

                if ( wi != null )
                {
                    WorkflowStepInfo si = wm.GetStepInfo( node );
                    if ( si != null )
                    {
                        // Use the workflow step information to approve the document until it is published
                        while ( si.StepName.ToLower() != "published" )
                        {
                            si = wm.MoveToNextStep( node, "" );
                            if ( si == null )
                            {
                                break;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex )
            { }
        }


Member	enelson-drhorton - 7/30/2012 1:18:01 PM RE:Tree node document publish state Nevermind. I figured it out. On an unrelated comment, I am perplexed as to why the system does not actually look at the data to determine whether it should show as published or not - something is clearly out of synch in my example.


Member	enelson-drhorton - 7/31/2012 11:27:55 AM RE:Tree node document publish state Under what rules does the system decided to show a node as greyed or normal?


Kentico Developer	kentico_ivanat - 8/2/2012 4:50:51 PM RE:Tree node document publish state Hi, What do you mean by greyed? Do you mean gray background in case you are using check-in/out functionality? In it gray in case the document is not checked - out for editing. Best regards, Ivana Tomanickova
