ModuleBuilder - Events (such as OnCreate or OnUpdate)
I have written a module using the Module Builder. It has a Content Type called "Slide". I have written a widget that creates a slideshow for a homepage using a jQuery script to loop through the Slides with nice effects (it's a fancier Rad Rotator). That works wonderful.
However, on the back-end in the create/edit screens, we need to re-order the slides when we want to feature a new slide in the #1 spot. I would like to do one of two things:
1. Override the default Create method so I can call that base functionality PLUS update all other Slides On Create, or
2. Add an event trigger that will serve as a callback command after a create, update, or delete event for a Slide.
Peace,
Brian
Hello Brian,
I suggest you subscribe for the IDataEvent, which is fired for Create, Update, Delete of content items. You should add the following code snippet to your Global.asax file:
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) Telerik.Sitefinity.Abstractions.Bootstrapper.Initialized += new EventHandler<Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutedEventArgs>(Bootstrapper_Initialized); void Bootstrapper_Initialized(object sender, Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutedEventArgs e) if (e.CommandName == "Bootstrapped") EventHub.Subscribe<IDataEvent>(Content_Action); private void Content_Action(IDataEvent @event) var action = @event.Action; var contentType = @event.ItemType; var itemId = @event.ItemId; var providerName = @event.ProviderName; var manager = ManagerBase.GetMappedManager(contentType, providerName); var item = manager.GetItemOrDefault(contentType, itemId);
