Introduction

This example demonstrates how to implement a functionality for automatic creation of other language versions of the page when the default language version of the page is published. In order to handle the "PagePublished" event, we will use the Sitefinity services model (implementing IService type and declaring it in the telerik/framework/services section in the web.config).

Example

1. Create GlobalService.cs file in the ~/App_Code folder of your Web Site:

using System;

using Telerik.Framework;

using Telerik.Cms;

using System.Globalization;

using Telerik.Localization;

using System.Threading;

public class GlobalService : IService

{

public GlobalService()

{

}

#region IService Members

public void Initialize()

{

CmsManager.Executed += new EventHandler<Telerik.ExecutedEventArgs>(CmsManager_Executed);

}

void CmsManager_Executed(object sender, Telerik.ExecutedEventArgs e)

{

if (e.CommandName == "Publish")

{

ICmsPage cmsPage = sender as ICmsPage;

if (cmsPage != null && LocalizationManager.IsDefaultCulture)

{

// saves the original current culture

CultureInfo currentCulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture;

CmsManager manager = new CmsManager();

int sourceLangID = (cmsPage.LangID == CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.LCID) ? LocalizationManager.DefaultCulture.LCID : cmsPage.LangID;

foreach (CultureInfo culture in LocalizationManager.Cultures.Values)

{

if (culture.LCID == sourceLangID)

continue;

if (!cmsPage.LanguageVersions.ContainsKey(culture.LCID))

{

// changes the culture of the current thread

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture;

// Gets the Cms page for the new culture

ICmsPage tempPage = (ICmsPage)manager.GetPage(cmsPage.ID, true);

// Checks out the Cms page creating new staged version

IStagedPage staged = tempPage.Staged.CheckOut();

// Copies the content from another language version and saves in into database.

staged.CopyFromLanguage(sourceLangID);

// Gets the page from the database, and checkin (Publish)

tempPage = (ICmsPage)manager.GetPage(cmsPage.ID, true);

tempPage.Staged.CheckIn();

}

}

// restores the original culture

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = currentCulture;

}

}

}

#endregion
