Detecting if there is a newer, unpublished version of a node
Hi
I should update nodes via API (Umbraco 7.1.9). Therefore I need to find out if there is a newer still unpublished version of a specific node, because I don't want to publish content which shouldn't be online yet. If there is no newer unpublished version, publishing the updated node is ok.
I unsuccessfully searched for methods of the Umbraco-API:
detecting if there is a newer and unpublished version
getting the newer and unpublished version which I could update and save
Before I just point you to the API reference I just want to know where you have looked / what you have found so far? It can be a bit hard to keep track of all the documentation and where it's placed on this site sometimes.
I found nothing specific and got a litte bit lost. Perhaps it might help if I tell you what I intend to do.
I'm planning to code some kind of Tag-Dashboard in the backend where I can list all the tags. It should be possible to rename a tag or delete it.
Before I delete or rename the tag I would do a search for all content-nodes that have been tagged with this one ( UmbracoHelper.TagQuery.GetContentByTag("xyz") ). So far no problem.
When looping through all found content-nodes, I want to check if there is newer not yet published content (newer version) for this specific node. If not, I would remove the tag (changing the content of the field of data type "tag") and save and publish the content-node. If there is newer and unpublished content, I want to update the field and only save (but not publish) the newer version ot the node.
I hope this helps. Thank you for your support. Rigo
Edit Maybe I didn't get the point. I found this method:
Could it be that just be calling this method, I don't have to touch the node itself and therefore there would be no problem with published/newer version?

Would anyone be so kind to give me a hint?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

umbraco.cms.businesslogic.Tags.Tag.RemoveTagFromNode(pageid, tagname, groupname);Could it be that just be calling this method, I don't have to touch the node itself and therefore there would be no problem with published/newer version?
Hi Rigo
Yup, me again :)
Ok, but you can find the documentation for the management API's in v7 here http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Management-v6/ (Don't get fooled about that is says "v6" in the title, it's the same underlying API in 7).
I suspect that you need to have a further look in the ContentService, which you can find more information about here http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Management-v6/Services/ContentService
You might also need to hook your code up on certain evens so if you do you can see the possible events here http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/Events-v6/
I hope this helps :)
