When a workflow definition is set for Pages, the link in the notification email does not work. When the link is opened, the page content is shown briefly and then an empty content is shown.

For more information about Bug 264306, see https://feedback.progress.com/Project/153/feedback/Details/264306
 

Until the fix is available, use the workaround below.

1. Create a new class that inherits from ContentViewEditDialogStandalone and override the initialize method

public class ContentViewEditDialogStandaloneCustom : ContentViewEditDialogStandalone
{
    protected override void InitializeControls(GenericContainer container)
    {
        var queryString = SystemManager.CurrentHttpContext.Request.QueryString;

        var itemId = queryString["sf_item_id"];
        var itemTypeFullName = queryString["sf_item_type"];
        var providerName = queryString["sf_provider"];
        var cultureName = queryString["sf_culture"];

        var itemType = TypeResolutionService.ResolveType(itemTypeFullName);
        if (itemType == typeof(PageNode))
        {
            var culture = cultureName != null ? CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(cultureName) : null;
            var pageNode = PageManager.GetManager(providerName).GetPageNode(Guid.Parse(itemId));

            var assembly = Assembly.Load("Telerik.Sitefinity");
            var pageExtensionsType = assembly.GetType("Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Pages.PageExtensions");
            var methodInfo = pageExtensionsType.GetMethod("GetBackendUrl", BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic);

            var url = methodInfo.Invoke(null, new object[] { pageNode, "Edit", culture }) as string;

            if (cultureName != null)
            {
                url = url + "/" + cultureName;
            }

            SystemManager.CurrentHttpContext.Response.Redirect(url);
            SystemManager.CurrentHttpContext.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
        }
        else
        {
            base.InitializeControls(container);
        }
    }
}

2. Register the custom dialog by adding the following lines in the Global.asax

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Bootstrapper.Bootstrapped += Bootstrapper_Bootstrapped;
}

void Bootstrapper_Initialized(object sender, Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == "Bootstrapped")
    {
        ObjectFactory.Container.RegisterType(typeof(DialogBase), typeof(ContentViewEditDialogStandaloneCustom), typeof(ContentViewEditDialogStandalone).Name, new HttpRequestLifetimeManager());
    }
}

3. Build the project

The amount of votes an item in the feedback portal has is taken into consideration when determining its priority. Vote for the item using the Like and Dislike buttons in the right-hand side menu to affect the priority it has. By casting a vote the voter will also be subscribed to a mailing list to receive notifications about changes of the item such as when it is fixed or implemented.
