Hello,
This is Part 2 of the sitecore auto publish feature. Check out Part 1 here.
In this part I will show you how to create multiple versions of the same item, add publishing restrictions and then add the ids in the scheduler for Auto Publish.
Select your item navigate to Publish -> Change under restriction
Once you are here just add date times for each version. Like the image below.
Hello,
I think all of us tried this at some point looking at out of the box features and surprise surprise you cannot do it 🙂
So here is my approach and it is a very simple one which can be extended in a much more complex piece of code but for my requirements it will do.
I have created a cs file with the code: AutomatedPublish (not sure if its a English word)
public class AutomatedPublish
{
public void FuturePublish(Item[] items, Sitecore.Tasks.CommandItem command, Sitecore.Tasks.ScheduleItem schedule)
{
foreach (var item in items)
{
// The publishOptions determine the source and target database,
// the publish mode and language, and the publish date
Sitecore.Publishing.PublishOptions publishOptions = new Sitecore.Publishing.PublishOptions(
item.Database,
Database.GetDatabase("web"),
Sitecore.Publishing.PublishMode.SingleItem,
item.Languag,System.DateTime.Now);
// Create a publisher with the publishoptions
Sitecore.Publishing.Publisher publisher = new Sitecore.Publishing.Publisher(publishOptions);
// Choose where to publish from
publisher.Options.RootItem = item;
// Publish children as well?
publisher.Options.Deep = false;
// Do the publish!
publisher.Publish();
}
}
}
In sitecore you will have to create the command in the System -> Tasks -> Commands.
