I have tried using the e.cancel property, but for me it didn't work...
When I googled some, I found out it's a known bug :-/

Anyone; correct me if I'm wrong

Hi Ismail,

Are you trying to cancel the publish by returing false from the ation handler Execute method ?

This post also mentions that returing true / false has no effect:

oops, Aarons post, refers to canceling via the event args as Stefan mentioned. Hopefully both will be fixed in 4.1 :)

Hi Ismail,

Below you find a codesnippet. Basically you need to use the log class and use the LogTypes.Notiify Enum in combination with the documentID to Add a line to the AuditTrail of the document (Log.Add(LogTypes.Notify, sender.Id, "Added To AuditTrail");).

using
 
 System;
using
 
 System.Collections.Generic;
using
 
 System.Text;
using
 
 umbraco.BusinessLogic;
using
 
 umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web;
namespace
 
 AuditTrail
{
 
public class AuditTrailEvent : ApplicationBase
{
 
public AuditTrailEvent()
{
 
Document.BeforePublish += new Document.PublishEventHandler(Document_BeforePublish);
}
 
void Document_BeforePublish(Document sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.PublishEventArgs e)
{
e.Cancel = 
true;
 
Log.Add(LogTypes.Notify, sender.Id, "Added To AuditTrail");
}
}
}
 

Hope this helps you,

Richard

As I mentioned in this post - http://www.aaron-powell.com/umbraco-event-improvments you will be able to cancel Document Save events properly in 4.1

Richard,

Had a feeling it might be via a log entry but wasnt 100% certain. Karma plus marked as solution.  I am doing cancel on publish so all is good on that front as i am using 4.0.3

Many thanks.

Ismail
