In this article we will be seeing how to check whether the site is a valid hub site and how to check whether the content type in the hub site is published or not.

Steps Involved:

Using console application:

C# Code snippet:

using System;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using System.Linq;
 using System.Text;
 using Microsoft.SharePoint;
 using Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.ContentTypeSync;

namespace EMM
{
class Program
 {
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://servername:20/"))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
{
SPContentType contentType = web.ContentTypes["_bContentType"];
if (ContentTypePublisher.IsContentTypeSharingEnabled(site))
{
Console.WriteLine(site.Url.ToString() + " is a valid hub site");
ContentTypePublisher ctPublisher = new ContentTypePublisher(site);
if (ctPublisher.IsPublished(contentType))
{
Console.WriteLine(contentType.Name + " is published content type");
}
else
 {
Console.WriteLine(contentType.Name + " is unpublished content type");
}
}
else
 {
Console.WriteLine(site.Url.ToString() + " is not a valid hub site");
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
}
}

Powershell script:

$hubSite=Get-SPSite "http://servername:10/"
$hubWeb=$hubSite.RootWeb
if([Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.ContentTypeSync.ContentTypePublisher]::IsContentTypeSharingEnabled($hubSite))
{
write-host $hubSite.Url " is a valid hub site"
$contentType=$hubWeb.ContentTypes["_bContentType"]
$ctPublisher=New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.ContentTypeSync.ContentTypePublisher($hubSite)
if($ctPublisher.IsPublished($contentType))
{
write-host $contentType.Name "is published content type"
}
else
{
write-host $contentType.Name "is unpublished content type"
}
}
else
{
write-host $hubSite.Url " is not a valid hub site"
}
