Hi

There is a method called IsPropertyDirty() that can be called to check if a property has changed. I know of nothing that can get you the original value, but you could roll your own code to do this

Snippet

using Umbraco.Core;
public class Register : ApplicationEventHandler
{

  protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
  {
    ContentService.Published += ContentService_Published;
  }

  private void ContentService_Published(Umbraco.Core.Publishing.IPublishingStrategy sender, Umbraco.Core.Events.PublishEventArgs<IContent> e)
  {
      foreach (var newContent in e.PublishedEntities.Where(x => x.IsPropertyDirty("bodyText"))
      {
         var originalContent = Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current.ContentCache.GetById(newContent.Id);
         // now compare   newContent.GetValue("bodyText") vs originalContent.GetPropertyValue("bodyText")
      }
  }
}

Cheers

great thank you. btw I think you meant the ContentService.Publishing rather than ContentService.Published event.

You are correct, you did specify publishing event. I was lazy and copied my code from a Published event, strangely I do also have a publishing event I could have used, but for some reason ignored it, because it was bigger.

Oh well, I'm sure you can amend accordingly.

is working on a reply...
