We want to disable Page from publishing in certain Publication when include child Publications is marked true using the Event System.
-
Should pages still be published if queued from within that Publication? If not, I would recommend disabling publishing on that Publication. Otherwise what you have set up and tried so far with an event handler? An alternative is a custom resolver to change what gets queued when Publishing items.– Alvin ReyesMay 25, 2020 at 14:04

Not all the pages from that publication are to be disabled but only the certain types of pages should be disabled in certain publication.– BinodMay 25, 2020 at 14:09

Okay, if you'd be okay with grouping such "unpublishable" pages in select Structure Groups, you could uncheck the SG Publishable option to prevent publishing. Otherwise a custom resolver or event system would be a good fit.– Alvin ReyesMay 26, 2020 at 9:59

Also, any details on what determines something should be publishable are appreciated. Is that based on the page template selection, certain metadata, keywords, or some other attributes that define those unpublishable page types? This could help with the answer and give us some insight into future plans for data publishing feature to be introduced in Sites 9.5.– Alvin ReyesMay 27, 2020 at 8:09

I would use a custom resolver to achieve this. This is a class which is executed after an item has been put in the publish queue, but before it is rendered and transported to the deployer. They are easy to do and very flexible.
The following example might get you started (with the usual 'works on my machine' caveat):
namespace SelectiveChildResolver
{
using Tridion.ContentManager;
using Tridion.ContentManager.Publishing;
using Tridion.ContentManager.Publishing.Resolving;
using Tridion.Logging;
public class SelectiveChildResolver : IResolver
{
public void Resolve(IdentifiableObject item, ResolveInstruction instruction, PublishContext context, Tridion.Collections.ISet<ResolvedItem> resolvedItems)
{
Logger.Write($"Starting SelectiveChildResolver for item {item.Title} ({item.Id})", "Resolver", LoggingCategory.General);
if (context.Publication.Id == "tcm:0-999-1") // TODO: make this configurable
{
resolvedItems.Clear();
}
}
}
}
You need to sign the project and put it in the Tridion bin folder or in the GAC, whichever you prefer. You need to find out the public key token for it, and then configure it in the TridionContentManager.config (google the documentation for that).
