Hi,

I'm trying to get all the pages of a particular type existing in the episerver tree. The problem is I only get the published pages. Not the ones that are in draft mode. I'm already use two techniques to get the pages:

  var criteria = new PropertyCriteriaCollection
            {
                new PropertyCriteria
                    {
                        Condition = CompareCondition.Equal,
                        Name = "PageTypeID",
                        Type = PropertyDataType.PageType,
                        Value = Instances.GetLocalInstance().Load().ID.ToString(),
                        Required = false
                    }
            };

            var pages = ContentReference.RootPage.FindPagesWithCriteria(criteria).OfType().ToList();

and

this._contentRepository
                        .GetDescendants(articleFolder.ContentLink)
                        .FirstOrDefault(item => string.Equals(item.ImdProductId, page.ImdProductId, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase));

Can you help me please?

One way to solve this is to using GetChildren but with the language selector. This method only returns the published pages. When we use the Language selector we have all the pages.

Example:

articlePages = this._contentRepository.GetChildren<ArticlePage>(
                        articleFolder.ContentLink,
                        LanguageSelector.AutoDetect(true)).ToArray();

Thank you

If you want to use FindPagesWithCriteria or similar you can use "FindAllPagesWithCriteria" which also requires a language to be defined:

var queryService = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IPageCriteriaQueryService>();
var pages = queryService.FindAllPagesWithCriteria(PageReference.StartPage, criteria, "en", new LanguageSelector("en"));

Just as a word of caution - FindPagesWithCriteria isn't the most efficient of methods as it calls the database directly, bypassing the cache so I'd consider my options before using it on the public facing part of your site.

You could use EPiServer.Core.IContent.IContentModelUsage.ListContentOfContentType(ContentType contentType).
