How to preview content in 3 tier environment.

  • Updated

This is an example of how to preview content that has not been published in a 3-tier environment. 

In this use case you will need to request an authentication token for a admin level user in order to view content that has not been published. 

       

 

       string UserName = "UserName";
        string Password = "Password";
        var _userManager = new Ektron.Cms.Framework.User.UserManager();
        string authToken = _userManager.Authenticate(UserName, Password);//Authenticate user in 3 tier
       var _contentManager = new     Ektron.Cms.Framework.Content.ContentManager();
        _contentManager.RequestInformation.AuthenticationToken = authToken; //Pass user token in into contentManager

        _contentManager.RequestInformation.PreviewMode = true; //Use this method to view content items that have not been published 
        var _contentCriteria = new Ektron.Cms.Content.ContentCriteria();
        _contentCriteria.AddFilter(Ektron.Cms.Common.ContentProperty.Id, Ektron.Cms.Common.CriteriaFilterOperator.EqualTo, 76); //Filter by content ID

        var getlist = _contentManager.GetList(_contentCriteria);

 

 

* Note - this was tested in a 9.1 SP1 environment!
