PublishingWeb GetAvailablePageLayouts won't give the complete available layouts list

Question

I have a problem with the PublishingWeb.GetAvailablePageLayouts method.

When I call it, it misses a couple of layouts I have deployed in my style library folder.

Let me explain:

I have a feature that deploys 10 page layouts. 8 of them works, 2 of them not. They are all published with no limitation at all.

I'm using a super user, so it could not be a permission problem.

If I go to the deployment folder, I can find them deployed, all 10 of them. This is my "test" code:

 SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(() =>
          {
              using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://URL/"))
              {
                  using (var web = site.OpenWeb())
                  {
                      PublishingWeb pw = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(web);

                      foreach(var t in pw.GetAvailablePageLayouts())
                      {
                          Console.WriteLine(t.Name + " ->  " + t.ListItem.File.Name);
                      }
                  }
          });

the Result give me 8 out of 10 result.

I tried also via powershell:

 $web = Get-SPWeb("http://URL")
 $pubweb = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::GetPublishingWeb($web)
 $pubweb.AllowAllPageLayouts($true)
 $pubweb.Update();

With no success.

What can I do to fix this? Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

I found out where the problem was:

during the deployment the CONTENT TYPE of the layouts was changed from PAGE LAYOUT to file.

Changing that, the page layout appears again into the available page template.
