Sites publish and unpublish

Sites management

Page activation operations - publish and unpublish

Using AEM Sites page, we can do several operations regarding page activation.

List of operations supported by Bobcat's SiteadminPage class :

publish page using method publishPage(String title)
unpublish page using method unpublishPage(String title)
publish page later using method publishPageLater(String title, LocalDateTime publicationDate)
unpublish page later using method unpublishPageLater(String title, LocalDateTime unpublicationDate)

Publish page

Assuming, that we have a existing page that can be published, we can use this example code :

@Test
Public void shouldPublishPage() {
	siteadminPage.publishPage(“example existing page”);
}

Unpublish page

Assuming, we have a existing page that can be unpublished, we can use example code below:

@Test
Public void shouldUnpublishPage() {
	siteadminPage.unpublishPage(“example existing page”);
}

Publish page later

To publish page later, we can use an example below:

@Test
public void shouldPublishPageLaterProperly() {
    LocalDateTime exampleFutureTime = LocalDateTime.now().plusMonths(2).plusDays(1).plusMinutes(2);
    siteadminPage.publishPageLater(“existing Page”, exampleFutureTime);
}

Unpublish page later

Similarly to above example, to unpublish page we can use code below :

@Test
public void shouldUnpublishPageLaterProperly() {
    LocalDateTime exampleFutureTime = LocalDateTime.now().plusMonths(2).plusDays(1).plusMinutes(2);
    siteadminPage.unpublishPageLater(“existing Page”, exampleFutureTime);
}
