why would you do that? you can publish document immediately after having created it

document.Publish(user u);
umbraco.library.UpdateDocumentCache(document.Id);

Cheers,

i  want to do that because i need a second dato om make a sort on that overrules created date...
so i was hoping i could fit umbraco to do i by default when creating a site (wich is a teaser....)

Hi Dirk,

Finally i have time to respond now. Sorry for waiting.

Im brand new to Umbraco, so here is maybe a couple of stupid questions....

I have created a new "sortdate" date field on the "properties" tap.

1/
When writing a event handler class, does it have to be located a specific place in the solution?

2/
The new field value must only be set once when publishing the page the first time, how do i do that?

Ok, i created my handler in the app_code directory...
And im thinking to use the "Document_AfterNew"....
But how will i fetch my new "sortdate" date field so i can set datetime.now into it?

Ok, i think i got it, used the "beforepublish" instead because "afternew" did not have ref to the current document.
Thanks for helping ;-)

Here is my code:
public class SetBlogSortDate : umbraco.BusinessLogic.ApplicationBase
{
  public SetBlogSortDae(
  {
       Document.BeforePublish += new Document.PublishEventHandler(Document_BeforePublish);
  }

  void Document_BeforePublish(Document sender, PublishEventArgs e)

   {
     

if(sender.Template == 1185 && sender.getProperty("sortDate").Value == string.Empty)
   {
        sender.getProperty("sortDate").Value = DateTime.Now;
   }
  }
}

is working on a reply...
