Alternative for PublishingWeb.IsPublishingWeb

December 19 2012 151 comments

Just today I wondered why something was not working with a specific custom code and was able to track the problem down by debugging to using PublishingWeb.IsPublishingWeb -method to a web in another site collection with read-permissions. The error message was somewhat puzzling, something like:

0×80070002

at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequestInternalClass.GetWebUrl(Guid gWebId, String bstrSiteUrl)…..

Then I remembered that my colleaque Tomi Tavela had resolved figuring out whether the SPWeb object is a publishing web or not in an anonymous scenario in this post Anonymous Access and Publishing Web Pages List.

So what I did following Tomi’s approach was to implement an alternative for the awkwardly behaving PublishingWeb.IsPublishingWeb -method by creating a method which checks if the site (SPWeb) has got a Pages-library.

public static bool IsPublishingWeb(SPWeb web)
{
    if (web == null || !web.Exists) return false;
    return web.Lists.TryGetList(SPUtility.GetLocalizedString
           ("$Resources:List_Pages_UrlName", "cmscore", web.Language))
           != null;
}

    Publishing features can be deactivated at some point.
    But deactivation would not delete Pages library.

  17. playing with tuning of #PublishingWeb in #SharePoint2010. amazing what you can do with few lines of code!

  18. I updated my page layouts that I deployed as a feature, but found that I could not overwrite the Layout File. The solution was to add a new page layout and then you would have to associate the new layout with every page on your site that used it.

    {
    if (web == null || !web.Exists) return false;
    return web.Lists.TryGetList(SPUtility.GetLocalizedString
    (“$Resources:List_Pages_UrlName”, “cmscore”, web.Language))
