how to check if a user can edit a module as draft?

Hi. I enabled workflow in the system and then allowed a role to edit a module in draft.

now in the code I need to know if the user can edit the module as draft( if only or not), the code is in a custom module

I tried the following

((mojoBasePage)Page).UserCanOnlyEditModuleAsDraft(ModuleId)

but this doesn't work correctly.

(the code I'm using is relatively old. it belongs to the age of mojoportal 2.3.6.6)

help please.

Re: how to check if a user can edit a module as draft?

Hi,

If your page inherits from mojoBasePage you don't need to cast the page as mojoBasePage, you can just call the method directly.

This method requires passing in the featureGuid

bool userCanEditAsDraft = UserCanOnlyEditModuleAsDraft(moduleId, HtmlContent.FeatureGuid);

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: how to check if a user can edit a module as draft?

sorry, the method was working properly,

in the context I was working I needed to add this code:

Title1.ShowEditLinkOverride = true;

so I could have the editlink visible.

and, I needed to cast the page, because the code was being used in a sitemodulecontrol, not in a page.

All what I'm doing is to allow multiple authors to write news in a cloned blog feature.

if you think these changes can be useful, I will provide the details of the changes.

regards.
