    Create a content tree like the members section

    I'm pretty new to umbraco and i'm developing a little webshop in it. I store my products under folder node like this. 

    Products
    a
    AProduct1
    Aroduct2
    b
    BProduct1

    But now my question is how can i create a product on the main node(Products) so it is automatically stored under the correct node letter. So a Bicycle goes under the letter B and car under C. I assume you can use a sort of documenttype event (prepost)? Can i just create a class library? How can i reference to that type of document?

    Tim wrote a package awhile back to do what your looking for, if I understand your post right.  Haven't tried it yet but give it a look.

    Thanks Chris!

    I just found a solution on the forums. This is what i have so far:

        public class ProductActionHandler : IActionHandler

        {

            #region IActionHandler Members

     

            public bool Execute(umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web.Document documentObject, umbraco.interfaces.IAction action)

            {

                if (documentObject.ContentType.Alias == "Product")

                {

                    try

                    {

                        Node currentNode = new Node(documentObject.Parent.Id);

     

                        foreach (Node node in currentNode.Children)

                        {

                            if (node.Name == "b")

                            {

                                documentObject.Move(node.Id);

                            }

     

                        }

     

                    }

                    catch (Exception)

                    {

                        return false;

                    }

                    return true;

                }

                else

                {

                    return false;

                }

            }

            public umbraco.interfaces.IAction[] ReturnActions()

            {

                return new umbraco.interfaces.IAction[] { new umbraco.BusinessLogic.Actions.ActionNew() };

                //http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/4680-Implementing-an-action-handler-in-Umbraco-4---ActionNew()-is-obsolete

            }

     

    But i just found out that the code is for V3 and not for v4

    I post my final solution here.

    Here my solution:

        public class ProductActionHandler : ApplicationBase
        {
            public ProductActionHandler()
            {
                Document.BeforeAddToIndex += new Document.IndexEventHandler(Document_BeforeAddToIndex);
            }

            void Document_BeforeAddToIndex(Document doc, AddToIndexEventArgs e)
            {
                if (doc.ContentType.Alias == "Product")
                {
                    try
                    {
                        Node currentNode = new Node(doc.Parent.Id);

                        foreach (Node node in currentNode.Children)
                        {
                            if (node.Name == "b")
                            {
                                doc.Move(node.Id);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    catch(Exception ex)
                    {
                        Log.Add(LogTypes.Error, doc.Id, "document: " + doc.Text + " Error: " + ex.Message );
                    }
                }
            }
        }
