    Render page as HTML using a Page Version GUID

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    Hi,

    is it possible to generate a full page with HTML markup using a Page Version GUID?

    Something like var htmlOfPage = Umbraco.RenderTemplate(pageId); but using the version GUID so I can see a full front end page of a previous version.

    Thanks

    Jon

    Hi Jon

    You can use the ContentService to retrieve an IContent item representing a specific version of the content, from the database

    var cs = Services.ContentService;
var specificVersion = cs.GetByVersion(Guid versionId);

    However your existing views will likely be working with IPublishedContent, rather than IContent.

    Jeroen Breuer wrote an article about converting IContent to IPublishedContent for edge cases...

    https://24days.in/umbraco-cms/2016/umbraco-edge-case-stories/#convert

    He's created an extension method called ToPublishedContent() in this gist

    https://gist.github.com/jbreuer/dde3605035179c34b7287850c45cb8c9

    so after retrieving your specific version using the content service, you could probably use this trick to turn it into IPublishedContent and work with your existing templates to generate a view of what the content looked like in the earlier version.

    regards

    Marc

    Thanks a lot for this.

    Is it then possible to create a HTML webpage from IPublishedContent.

    For example, should I call the function that I create IPublishedContent via JQuery or someway else?

    The render of the page needs to be dynamic so I cant pre code the page layout.

    The RENDERTEMPLATE result is ideally the return that I desire but instead of passing in the PageId I would pass in the Version GUID.
