How can I programmatically get Approval Status in SharePoint? - sharepoint

Question

I wanted to programmatically get SharePoint Page Approval Status, I tried as below
public string GetApprovalStatus(string url, string listName, string fileref)
{
string result = string.Empty;
string caml = #"
" + fileref + #"
";
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(url))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
SPList list = web.Lists[listName];
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.Query = caml;
SPListItemCollection myItems = list.GetItems(query);
if (myItems != null && myItems.Count > 0)
{
DataTable dt = myItems.GetDataTable();
result = dt.Rows[0]["_ModerationStatus"].ToString();
dt.Dispose();
}
}
}
return result;
}
And I return a number, how can I get the Approval Status in text?
Appreciate any help, thank you in advanced

The following code is from the MSDN article for SPModerationInformation.Status:
using (SPSite oSiteCollection = new SPSite("http://localhost"))
{
SPWebCollection collWebsites = oSiteCollection.AllWebs;
foreach (SPWeb oWebsite in collWebsites)
{
SPListCollection collLists = oWebsite.Lists;
foreach (SPList oList in collLists)
{
if (oList.BaseType == SPBaseType.DocumentLibrary)
{
SPDocumentLibrary oDocumentLibrary = (SPDocumentLibrary)oList;
if (!oDocumentLibrary.IsCatalog && oDocumentLibrary.EnableModeration ==
true)
{
SPQuery oQuery = new SPQuery();
oQuery.ViewAttributes =
"ModerationType='Moderator'";
SPListItemCollection collListItems =
oDocumentLibrary.GetItems(oQuery);
foreach (SPListItem oListItem in collListItems)
{
if (oListItem.ModerationInformation.Status ==
SPModerationStatusType.Pending)
{
Console.WriteLine(oWebsite.Url + "/" +
oListItem.File.Url);
oListItem.ModerationInformation.Comment =
"Automatic Approval of items";
oListItem.ModerationInformation.Status =
SPModerationStatusType.Approved;
oListItem.Update();
}
}
}
}
}
oWebsite.Dispose();
}
}

You can use the SPModerationStatusType enum SPModerationStatusType Enum - MSDN to get the text values that you want.

Here is the full code that gets and sets (optional) approval status (Possible values for this.oListItem.get_item('_ModerationStatus'): 0 - "Approved", 1 - "Denied", 2- "Pending"):
<script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="/jquery.SPServices-2013.02a.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () { ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(loadConstants, "sp.js"); });
function loadConstants() {
var userid= _spPageContextInfo.userId;
var requestUri = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/getuserbyid(" + userid + ")";
var requestHeaders = { "accept" : "application/json;odata=verbose" };
$.ajax({
url : requestUri,
contentType : "application/json;odata=verbose",
headers : requestHeaders,
success : onSuccess,
error : onError
});
function onSuccess(data, request){
var loginName = data.d.Title;
//get current (selected) list item id
var docurl = document.URL;
var beginindex = docurl.indexOf('?ID=') + 4;
var endindex = docurl.indexOf('&Source=');
var itemid = docurl.substring(beginindex, endindex);
var ctx = new SP.ClientContext("your site url");
var oList = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('your list name');
this.oListItem = oList.getItemById(itemid);
var appStatus = "";
ctx.load(this.oListItem);
ctx.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, function () {
//get approval status
appStatus = this.oListItem.get_item('_ModerationStatus');
//set approval status to Approved (0)
this.oListItem.set_item('_ModerationStatus', 0);
this.oListItem.update();
ctx.executeQueryAsync(
Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded),
Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed)
);
}), function (sender, args) { alert('Error occured' + args.get_message());});
}
function onError(error) {
alert("error");
}
}
</script>
