Hi Brian, filing under Blueprints as I don’t see Publisher listed here.

I’m trying to update my Module Tab to publisher and it looks like the publish_data_db method in Tab files are not picking up the correct publisher_lib->status.

You can reproduce if you download for example the SEO Lite module, and then simply publish a draft entry in Publisher.

After you publish, add the following into the publish_data_db method in tab.seo_lite.php

if (isset($this->EE->publisher_lib)) {
  echo "lang_id: " . $this->EE->publisher_lib->lang_id;
  echo " | status: " . $this->EE->publisher_lib->status;
  exit();
}

Then edit the entry, and change the Publisher ‘save as’ to ‘published’, on save you’ll see “lang_id: 1 | status: draft”

Likewise if the entry is Published and I change to draft, on save you’ll get “lang_id: 1 | status: open”

Let me know if you need any more info.

** Update **

I see that I can access view_status and save_status from within publish_data_db, so I should be able to get round this, but I’m not sure how I’m going to access the lang ID, which is going to be needed down the road.
