Sitecore Page Editor Publishing items related to content
page-editor, sitecore
Solution
While saving an item in Page Editor, Sitecore saves all the field renderers which are displayed on the page, so if you set the `Item` property of a `FieldRenderer1` to `"Product Example Test" Sitecore Item`, `Page Editor` know which item should be saved.
The problem with publishing is that you enqueue the current item in the publishing queue, but this item has no link to the `"Product Example Test" Sitecore Item` in any of its properties cause you're setting the `Item` property of the field renderer dynamically in the code.
The option would be to add another button to `Page Editor` next to `Edit Related Item` button and create a command that will `Publish Related Item`. The complete description how to add such a command can be found in the answer Sitecore page editor - how to extend page editor item editing panel
Problem
I have a "Product Page",Product page maps to "ProductPage" Sitecore item. Website/Pages/ProductPage. I have a text area in that page with page editor, which loads text from "Product Example Text" Sitecore item's "Description" text from Web database. (Sitecore.../CommonText/Product Example Text) In my ascx file, mark up is pretty straigh forwad, ``` <sc:FieldRenderer ID="FieldRenderer1" runat="server" /> ``` Codebehind, ``` FieldRenderer1.Item = //"Product Example Text" Sitecore item FieldRenderer1.FieldName = "Description"; ``` When I open the page in Page Editor(as a system admin), it allows me to change the "Product Example Text", and when I save using the "Save" button on the Page Editor it get saved to the master database. "Product Example Text" item get saved. Now, when I try to publish the item using the "Publish" item in the Page Editor ribbon, these changes do not get reflected,reason is "Product Example Text" item does not get published. When I save the page, somehow Sitecore understands the "Product Example Text" item has to be saved. But why does not it get published? Am I doing anything wrong.... How can I solve this issue?
