Its common scenario that, if you created items first
and later on creating workflow then you have to manually apply those workflow
on template’s standard values and content items.
If there are few items then it fine to do it manually.
But what if there are hundreds, thousands content item.
Best way is to apply them programmatically.
Here is a code to do it. Just put Home item ID or start
item
var FirstItem = Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem(new ID("{A00A11B6-E6DB-45AB-8B54-636FEC3B5523}")) ;
PrintName(FirstItem
, 1);
Rest of the item should be iterate by following
recursive function and apply workflow on all the items except folder item.
private Item PrintName(Item mainItem, int icounter)
{
string f = new string('-', icounter);
TextBox1.Text += f + mainItem.DisplayName +
System.Environment.NewLine;
try
{
if (!mainItem.DisplayName.Equals("Homepage"))
{
//Put
Workflow ID here
var workflow = Factory.GetDatabase("master").WorkflowProvider.GetWorkflow("{7E9BC450-18EE-401E-892A-1CEF27BF8D9B}");
workflow.Start(mainItem);
}
}
catch (Exception)
{
TextBox1.Text += "Error " +
mainItem.DisplayName + System.Environment.NewLine;
}
if (mainItem.HasChildren)
{
icounter++;
foreach (var myInnerItem in mainItem.Children.ToList())
{
PrintName(myInnerItem, icounter);
}
}
icounter--;
return null;
}
