How do I edit-save-publish a page template programmatically???
This is missing from online documentation. There is info on how to edit-save-publish everything else (pages, lists, blogs, etc.), but nothing on Page Templates.
I've been using this to edit something in PAGES, and it's been working. How do I do it for templates?
var pageManager = PageManager.GetManager();var pages = App.WorkWith().Pages().LocatedIn(PageLocation.Frontend).Get().ToList(); foreach (var p in pages) if (p.NodeType == NodeType.Standard) var pageData = p.Page; //check out and get draft var tempPage = pageManager.EditPage(pageData.Id); //do something... //check in and save changes pageManager.PagesLifecycle.CheckIn(tempPage); pageManager.SaveChanges(); // Publish var bag = new Dictionary<string, string>(); bag.Add("ContentType", typeof(PageNode).FullName); WorkflowManager.MessageWorkflow(pageData.Id, typeof(PageNode), null, "Publish", false, bag); var pageManager = PageManager.GetManager(); var templates = App.WorkWith().PageTemplates().Where(t => !t.IsBackend).Get().ToList(); foreach (var t in templates) var tempTemplate = pageManager.EditTemplate(t.Id); //do something... pageManager.TemplatesLifecycle.CheckIn(tempTemplate); pageManager.SaveChanges(); // Publish
var bag = new Dictionary<string, string>(); bag.Add("ContentType", typeof(PageTemplate).FullName); WorkflowManager.MessageWorkflow(tempTemplate.Id, typeof(PageTemplate), null, "Publish", false, bag); Hi Marko,
Thank you for contacting support.
Try removing all the lines after the // Publish comment. Also try replacing the two lines after //do something... with the following
var master = pageManager.TemplatesLifecycle.CheckOut(tempTemplate);master = pageManager.TemplatesLifecycle.CheckIn(master);pageManager.TemplatesLifecycle.Publish(master);pageManager.SaveChanges();
Thanks. That worked great.
Now, it would be even better if you add information about the API for dealing with page templates to API documentation, so that people who are in need for this don't have to turn to forums for basics. ;-)
Hi Marko,
Glad that it works. Your suggestion is good. I will tell the documentation team to add information about creating and editing page templates to the API documentation.

where to write all this code?
Hi Mohammad,
You can create a new WebForm in VisualStudio and add the code in the code behind on PageLoad. Then you need to run this form. To do that you need to be log-in in the backend as administrator at the same time.
You could find code examples in Sitefinity documentation on that article.
More information for Page templates is available here.
