Publish Pages via API

[suntrop]

Hi all

All I could find was the opposite of what I need, how to unpublish a page via API. But I need to publish 500 pages. Those pages are children of/inside a PageTable field … don't know if this matters.

Anyhow, I tried to loop through the child pages and publish them. But even one doesn't work … it just stays unpublished

// Pagae 2603 is my page with 500 unpublished children 
if ($page->id == 2603) {
	$fcp = $page->children('status=unpublished')->first();
	$fcp->removeStatus(Page::statusUnpublished);
	$fcp->save;
	// foreach ($page->children as $c) {
	// 	…
	// }
}

There is no such method like publishPage?

$c->of(true);
$c->status([]);
$c->save();

One might also find it helpful for batch changing pages and more. @adrian's great helper tool, the Admin Actions module:

Thanks guys!

I used Batcher before, but I really have to have a closer look at Adrian's module.

You could also use Batch Child Editor's edit mode to change the status of all 500 children at once. Simply click the checkbox for the "Unpublished" label and that will uncheck it for all child pages.
