    Media updateDate not being updated

    When displaying media items that are listed using umbraco.library.GetMedia, the createDate and updateDate properties are always identical.  Always the same as the original createDate.  So if i go into the media and update the media item (eg upload a different file on the same item), the updateDate does not get changed.  

     

      <xsl:variable name="mediaFolderNumber" select="1104"/>
      <xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($mediaFolderNumber,'true')/descendant::* [umbracoFile]">
        <p>
        Created:<xsl:value-of select="./@createDate"/><br/>
        Updated:<xsl:value-of select="./@updateDate"/>
        </p>
      </xsl:for-each>

     

    I am using umbraco 4.5.2

    Is this a bug or my lack of understanding?

    Thanks

    Paul

    Try the last modified date  (i.e. lastModifiedDate)

    This isn't in the GetMedia() xml though...

    for each <file> I only have 

    id,version,parentid,level,writerid,nodetype,template,sortorder,createdate,updatedate,nodename,urlname,writername,nodetypealias,path

    hmm.. guess it's only part of a content node... odd.

    I'll have to think about.. late here..

    Anyone got any ideas about this?

    I'd see if i could debug this myself but as i'm so new to umbraco i wouldnt know where to start...

    I am having the same issue on 4.6.1. Is there another way I can determine whether or not the media node has been updated? I tried 'version' but this does not work as well.

    Here's a work around, add this event handler to update the date.

    public class Application : ApplicationBase
{
    public Application()
    {
        Media.BeforeSave += SetUpdateDate;
    }
    private void SetUpdateDate(Media sender, SaveEventArgs e)
    {
        sender.VersionDate = DateTime.Now;
    }
}

    If you update the media with this workaround you should also add this code:

    sender.Save();
sender.XmlGenerate(new XmlDocument());

    That way the xml also get's updated if you use library.GetMedia.

    Hmm calling sender.Save() in a save event might cause an infinite loop :p. Since it's in the before save event the xml will probably get updated automatically. I guess you can forget what I said :).
