Hi Diplo,

Action handlers do not work on media items (v3). Event handlers are supported on media items as from v4.

Thanks, Dirk. Is there any documentation on how you subscribe to events on media items? I'm not clear how I would do this. Thanks!

Hi Diplo,

Check these examples out:
http://www.umbraco.org/documentation/books/api-cheatsheet/using-applicationbase-to-register-events
http://www.umbraco.org/documentation/books/api-cheatsheet/attaching-document-eventhandlers

Media is similar to documents (using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.media)

Diplo,

Some sample code for you

[code]

using umbraco.BusinessLogic;
using umbraco.interfaces;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.media;
public class MediaEventHandler : IApplication
{

const string ALIAS = "MediaEventHandler";
public MediaEventHandler() {

init();
}

private void init() {


Media.AfterSave += new Media.SaveEventHandler(MediaAfterSave);
Log.Add(LogTypes.Debug, 0, "Media event handlers Media.AfterSave registered");

Media.AfterDelete += new Media.DeleteEventHandler(MediaAfterDelete);
Log.Add(LogTypes.Debug, 0, "Media event handlers Media.AfterDelete registered");

}



#region media events

void MediaAfterSave(Media sender, EventArgs e)
{
Log.Add(LogTypes.Debug, 0, "MediaAfterSave fired added media " + sender.Id);
save(sender);
}

private void save(Media sender) {
//do some stuff

}


void MediaAfterDelete(Media sender, EventArgs e)
{

// do stuff

}

void MediaAfterMove(umbraco.cms.businesslogic.CMSNode sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.MoveEventArgs e)
{
//do stuff
}

#endregion

#region IApplication Members

public string Alias
{
get { return ALIAS; }
}

public List

Thanks for all your help guys, that's just what I needed!

Hi Diplo (And Ismail),

Code snippet is no longer the preferred way to subscribe to events. Consider deriving from ApplicationBase instead of IApplication. And as in example, subscribe to the events in the class constructor.

Hi Dirk,

This is the second time this week that I hear a change in the preferred way. Last time was to use Basetree over Itree interface. Any more changes?

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard,

IApplication was too bloated with interface functions you'd have to implement (Have a look at Ismail's code, it's using too many NotImplementedExceptions... which shows it's not used properly imho)

Also have a look at Ruben's blog who's been blogging about this change:

Dirk,

Cheers for that I was having another issue which I raised in codeplex see here and becuase Per was using IApplication I changed my code I still get that issue but that is another matter!

Ismail

Thanks for the link, making sense now.

is working on a reply...
