Question

In Sitecore, I have users who are using the editing ribbon to add content to pages. However, there are some pages that I want to prevent EditMode completely from that user’s role. This is based off of a branch template, so I can’t just revoke privileges for each page. I need some way to set the Sitecore.Context.PageMode to be Normal.

Is there an API for setting the PageMode?

Answer 1

While I was unable to find a C# API, I did find that I could just use a URL Redirect that looks something like this:

        if (!Sitecore.Context.PageMode.IsNormal && !IsAdministrator())
        {
            String id = Sitecore.Context.Item.ID.ToString();
            Response.Redirect("/?sc_mode=normal&sc_itemid=" + id + "&sc_lang=en"); 
        }

This will set the PageMode to Normal if it in any other state.
