Had a quick look and I believe its unable to retrieve the url because it doesnt exist until the item is saved post publish somewhere?

The node ID is created though.

Unless you have a url write on it, maybe use this to generate what the url will be with :

var urlName = umbracoHelper.NiceUrlWithDomain(publishedItem.ParentId) + publishedItem.Name.Replace(' ', '-').ToLowerInvariant();

Probably very hacky until a real solution is found. This may cause an error with new items created at root so retrieving the root url and appending in that case might be best.

Ill have a further look into it just now and see if I can see a more elegant solution.

Created a new class in the app code, this seems to work on the small tests I've done. Hope it might help you out until you find a more elegant (correct) solution.

public class ContentNewService : ApplicationEventHandler
{
    protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
    {
        ContentService.Published += ContentServicePublished;
    }

    private void ContentServicePublished(IPublishingStrategy sender, PublishEventArgs<IContent> e)
    {
        var umbracoHelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);

        foreach (var publishedItem in e.PublishedEntities)
        {
            string contentUrl = "";
            string root = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString();

            //check if published before
            if (umbracoHelper.UrlAbsolute(publishedItem.Id) != "#")
            {
                contentUrl = umbracoHelper.UrlAbsolute(publishedItem.Id);
            }
            else
            {
                //Check if published at root
                if (publishedItem.ParentId == -1)
                {
                    contentUrl = root + publishedItem.Name.Replace(' ', '-').ToLowerInvariant();
                }
                else
                {
                    contentUrl = umbracoHelper.UrlAbsolute(publishedItem.ParentId) +
                                 publishedItem.Name.Replace(' ', '-').ToLowerInvariant();
                }
            }

            //Success message
            e.Messages.Add(new EventMessage("Success", "Url:'" + contentUrl +"'", EventMessageType.Success));
        }
    }


}

Thanks man! It might be a hacky solution, but it seems to be how I need to do it right now.

No worries man, hopefully someone who has a little more experience could chime in with a better solution.

Atb,
