Can you please provide me some code for changing a product in the products sample and checking it in and out using C#?

I want to query only published products

I want to check out a product and edit it and then check it in

I want to publish a product

Cheers!

Hi Brian,

You can take a look in the ProductsModule sample.

To query for published products:

var manager = ProductsManager.GetManager();

var products = manager.GetProducts().Where(x => x.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live).ToList();

You could use the Fluent API I guess to get a product and checkout, do the changes and publish it again. But I'm not sure actually.

Regards,
Daniel

Thank you Daniel for your response.

Can someone at Telerik please comment on this. I really need to find out how to properly check in and out and publish custom module data like products using C#.

Hello Brian Crosby,

Like Daniel properly pointed out, you'll need to work with Productsmanager. ProductsManager inherits from ContentManagerBase, so basically what you have for a news item:

NewsManager manager = NewsManager.GetManager();

NewsItem item = manager.GetNewsItems()

.Where(t => t.Title == newsTitle)

.Where(t => t.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live)

.Single();

item = manager.GetMaster(item); // make sure we are working with master

NewsItem temp = manager.CheckOut(item); // work on a temp

//

temp.Content = newContent;

//

item = manager.CheckIn(temp);

manager.RecompileItemUrls<NewsItem>(item);

manager.Publish(item);

manager.SaveChanges();

would be identical when calling ProductsManager.GetManager();

Hello Brian Crosby,

Just a quick follow-up, please find below a sample code for achieveing the same functionality with a products item:

ProductsManager manager = ProductsManager.GetManager();

ProductItem item = manager.GetProducts()

.Where(t => t.Title == "title")

.Where(t => t.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live)

.Single();

item = manager.Lifecycle.GetMaster(item) as ProductItem; // make sure we are working with master

var temp = manager.Lifecycle.CheckOut(item); // work on a temp

//

item = manager.Lifecycle.CheckIn(temp) as ProductItem;

manager.RecompileItemUrls<ProductItem>(item);

manager.Lifecycle.Publish(item);

manager.SaveChanges();
