Placing content into a placeholder on an existing posting programmatically
|
|
|
| I know you can put content in to placeholders when a posting is
created. But is it possible to change the content in the placeholders
once the posting is already created, without navigating to the posting
in update mode.

| Hello Dave,
this cannot be done via CmsHttpContext (unless you redirect the user
into update mode), which you probably already figured out.
nevertheless, this still can be done (even from a web page) via
connecting to the same CMS database via CmsApplicationContext

| Hi Dave,
you need to ensure that the context accessing the posting is in update mode.
But it is not necessary to navigate to this posting.
The posting can also be accessed from any other posting if you ensure that
the CmsHttpContext is in update mode.
If this is not an option, choose CmsApplicationContext and authenticate in
update mode using this context.
Cheers,
Stefan.

| Thankyou for you reply.
I am trying to use CmsApplicationContext but when I use the following
code using a user with admin rights:-
myCMSContext = New CmsApplicationContext()
myCMSContext.AuthenticateAsUser(<Username>,<Password>,PublishingMode.Update)
myPosting = CmsHttpContext.Current.Searches.GetByGuid (<Long number> )
myhtmlPlaceholder = myPosting.Placeholders(<placeholder name> )
myhtmlPlaceholder.Html = newHtml
this line fails with
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Invalid mode for update.
The requested action modifies the state of an object and can only be
performed when the session is in the 'Update' mode.
but CMSContext.Mode is returning a value of 'Update'
If I can not change the content of a placeholder like this, how else
can I do it.
Any help would be great.

| Hi Dave,
you are modifying an object that has been retrieved using the CmsHttpContext
and not using the CmsApplicationContext.
Change the code as follows:
myCMSContext = New CmsApplicationContext()
myCMSContext.AuthenticateAsUser(<Username>,<Password>,PublishingMode.Update)
myPosting = myCMSContext.Searches.GetByGuid (<Long number> )
myhtmlPlaceholder = myPosting.Placeholders(<placeholder name> )
myhtmlPlaceholder.Html = newHtml
Cheers,
Stefan.
