R – MOSS 2007 Published Site Page Status

mosssharepoint-2007

Greetings all,

I have a question.

On my MOSS 2007 dev box, I created a new sharepoint site using the Publishing -> Publishing Site template.

Now, On this site, I can create pages, check them in, publish them, etc.

What I want to do is create a scope that I can do searches on. However, one of the filters I want to apply to the scope is to ignore everything which is not published.

Does anyone out there know of a property (which I can use in a metadata property in my shared service which is in turn used in my scope) to determine if a page is in a published status, draft status, any other sort of status?

Does such a property exist?

Thanks in advance for your help.

By default, when you view pages in a SharePoint site, and you're not signed in (eg your a anon user) then you will only see the last published version of that page. You won't see the version currently being edited (if it is checked out).

Now, if you want to stop users who are signed in from searching any pages which are not checked in, then have a look at filtering using the 'Approved Status' field. I'm not sure how to do this myself, but that's usually the field you filter on for stuff like views.

R – Show icon depending on page property

you'll need to get the value from an item in the list. off the top, i think this will work:

SPList list = SPContext.Current.Web.Lists["my list name"];
SPListItem item = list.items.GetItemById(ItemId);

//the following 2 lines are not strictly necessary
//but since you explicitly mentioned this is related to ContentTypes
//this is how you can ensure the item you retrieved is of the apprpriate type
SPContentTypeId myContentTypeId = GetContentTypeId();
if (list.ContentTypes.BestMatch(myContentTypeId).Equals(item.ContentType.Id))
{
  string value = item["interesting field name"].ToString();
  //if the value is of interest, do your thing
}

R – SharePoint and workflows

You can create a feature which will add the second work flow to the Pages library when activated using the SPFeatureReceiver class, and staple that feature to the existing Publishing Site site definition using feature stapling.

Here are MSDN posts on using feature event receivers and feature stapling:
