Check if a page exist on a specific language

Vote:

Hi! Is it possible to check wether a page exist on a specific language (when using MultiLanguage). For example: I want to be able to give the user a message when surfing on the english version of a page that "this page doesn't exist in swedish" And this message should appear when the current page isn't translated or isn't published into swedish. //Stefan

Hi Isn't it better to prevent the user to see pages that does not exist in the current language by a filter? Add this filter function to the page/control that should filter on current language


		private void FilterOnLanguage(object sender, EPiServer.Filters.FilterEventArgs e)
		{
			EPiServer.Core.PageDataCollection pages = e.Pages;
			
			string menuPropertyName = "PageName___";
			string languageId = "SV"; //default language
			HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies["epslanguage"]; //check the current language
			if (cookie != null && cookie.Value != "")
			{
				languageId = cookie.Value;
			}
			menuPropertyName += languageId;
			
			for (int i = 0; i < pages.Count; i++)
			{
				if (pages[i].Property[menuPropertyName] == null ||  
						pages[i].Property[menuPropertyName].ToString() == "")
				{
					pages.RemoveAt(i); //remove all pages that does not a PageName in current language
					i--;
				}
				
			}
		}

and add this somewhere before the databinding of the control


this.MenuListControl.Filter += new FilterEventHandler (FilterOnLanguage);

It working so far best regards /Stefan
