RE: [Krang-general] Publishing dependent stories?

[Lee, A. <Alb...@ne...>]

Upon further examination, I noticed something peculiar about overriding
publish.

Let's say I have 2 story types, author_index and feature_article.  The
author_index story type has been published previously.  When
feature_article is published, I want to publish the author_index next
(so basically, after publishing my article, the author gets added to a
list of authors).

Author_index works by doing a Krang::Story->find(published =3D> 1, class
=3D> 'feature_article'); =20

Here's the problem: when overriding the publish method, the first time
my feature_article is published, the published flag is still 0, so
author_index never finds that story. =20

It appears the logic flow is as follows:
1. Publish the feature article (story id 1234)
2. Publish author index (story id 100)
3.    Author index looks for published stories
4.    *** Author index finds all stories except for story id 1234
5.    Finish author index
6. Update story id 1234 to published
7. Finish feature article

So I need to actually publish story id 1234 TWICE before the author
appears in the author index.

(I guess whenever I get this working, I have to get its inverse working
too... deleting a story needs to also perform a followup publish).

Yes if you overide publish -->

sub publish {
  my ($self, %args) =3D @_;

  my $output =3D $self->SUPER::publish(%args);
  my $publisher =3D $args{publisher};
  my $story =3D $publisher->story();
 =20
  my @s =3D Krang::Story->find(
      ...
      ...
  );

  foreach my $st(@s) {
    if ($st->story_id() !=3D $story->story_id()) {
      $publisher->publish_story(story =3D> $st)
    }
  }

  return $output;
}
