Requirement:
Show the latest version of an item when there is more than one version of that item.
This is the item listing in the Sitecore workbox with the default settings.
Our requirement is to make it like this:
Show only the latest version of a item.
Show the number of versions of that item.
Step 1:
Get a copy of the Workbox.xml from the ~\Website\sitecore\shell\Applications\Workbox folder
Step 2:
Paste the copied Workbox.xml inside ~\Website\sitecore\shell\Override folder
Step 3:
Change the
<CodeBeside Type="Sitecore.Shell.Applications.Workbox.WorkboxForm,Sitecore.Client"/> to
<CodeBeside Type="(Namespace of your solution).(dll name)"/>
Ex: <CodeBeside Type="Custom_Workflow.CustomWrokbox"/>
Step 4:
Import the Sitecore.Client reference to the solution
Step 5:
Inherit the WorkboxForm to your class
Ex: class CustomWrokbox : WorkboxForm
Step 6:
Override the DisplayStates() behaviour.
Code
namespace My_Workflow
{
class CustomWrokbox :
WorkboxForm
{
private
NameValueCollection stateNames;
protected override void DisplayStates(IWorkflow workflow, XmlControl
placeholder)
{
Assert.ArgumentNotNull((object)workflow, "workflow");
Assert.ArgumentNotNull((object)placeholder, "placeholder");
this.stateNames = (NameValueCollection)null;
foreach (WorkflowState state in workflow.GetStates())
{
if
(WorkflowFilterer.FilterVisibleCommands(workflow.GetCommands(state.StateID)).Length
> 0)
{
List<DataUri>
filteredUriList = new List<DataUri>();
DataUri[] items = this.GetItems(state,
workflow);
Assert.IsNotNull((object)items, "items
is null");
List<DataUri> latestItemList =
new List<DataUri>();
for (int index = 0; index <
items.Count(); index++)
{
bool currentItemAdded = false;
Item currentItem =
Sitecore.Context.ContentDatabase.Items[items[index]];
if (latestItemList.Count > 0)
{
for (int i = 0;
i < latestItemList.Count; i++)
{
if
((currentItem.ID == latestItemList[i].ItemID) && (currentItem.Version.ToInt32()
> latestItemList[i].Version.ToInt32()) && (currentItem.Language ==
latestItemList[i].Language))
{
latestItemList.Remove(latestItemList[i]);
latestItemList.Add(items[index]);
currentItemAdded = true;
break;
}
}
if (currentItemAdded == false)
{
latestItemList.Add(items[index]);
}
}
else
{
latestItemList.Add(items[index]);
}
}
items = latestItemList.ToArray();
string str1 =
ShortID.Encode(workflow.WorkflowID) + "_" + ShortID.Encode(state.StateID);
Section section1 = new Section();
section1.ID = str1 + "_section";
Sitecore.Web.UI.HtmlControls.Section
section2 = section1;
placeholder.AddControl((System.Web.UI.Control)section2);
int length = items.Length;
string str2 = string.Format("<span
style=\"font-weight:normal\"> - ({0})</span>", length
> 0 ? (length != 1 ? (object)string.Format("{0} {1}",
(object)length, (object)Translate.Text("items")) :
(object)string.Format("1 {0}",
(object)Translate.Text("item"))) : (object)"none");
section2.Header = state.DisplayName + str2;
section2.Icon = state.Icon;
if (Settings.ClientFeeds.Enabled)
{
FeedUrlOptions feedUrlOptions
= new FeedUrlOptions("/sitecore/shell/~/feed/workflowstate.aspx")
{
UseUrlAuthentication = true
};
feedUrlOptions.Parameters["wf"] = workflow.WorkflowID;
feedUrlOptions.Parameters["st"] = state.StateID;
section2.FeedLink =
feedUrlOptions.ToString();
}
section2.Collapsed = length <= 0;
Border border = new Border();
section2.Controls.Add((System.Web.UI.Control)border);
border.ID = str1 + "_content";
this.DisplayState(workflow, state, items,
(System.Web.UI.Control)border, 0, this.PageSize);
this.CreateNavigator(section2, str1 +
"_navigator", length);
}
}
}
private
DataUri[] GetItems(WorkflowState state, IWorkflow workflow)
{
Assert.ArgumentNotNull((object)state, "state");
Assert.ArgumentNotNull((object)workflow, "workflow");
ArrayList arrayList = new ArrayList();
DataUri[] items = workflow.GetItems(state.StateID);
if (items != null)
{
foreach (DataUri index in items)
{
Item obj =
Context.ContentDatabase.Items[index];
if (obj != null &&
obj.Access.CanRead() && (obj.Access.CanReadLanguage() &&
obj.Access.CanWriteLanguage()) && (Context.IsAdministrator ||
obj.Locking.CanLock() || obj.Locking.HasLock()))
arrayList.Add((object)index);
}
}
return arrayList.ToArray(typeof(DataUri)) as DataUri[];
}
private
void CreateNavigator(Sitecore.Web.UI.HtmlControls.Section section, string id,
int count)
{
Assert.ArgumentNotNull((object)section, "section");
Assert.ArgumentNotNull((object)id, "id");
Navigator navigator = new Navigator();
section.Controls.Add((System.Web.UI.Control)navigator);
navigator.ID = id;
navigator.Offset = 0;
navigator.Count = count;
navigator.PageSize = this.PageSize;
}
}
}
NOTE: Code in red is the custom code. Other code is Sitecore default dll code.
Sitecore code can be change with the Sitecore version and the revision you are working with.
