    Create child documents when a document is created

    Is there a way to way to have umbraco create a series of child documents when a document of a certain document type is created automatically?

    I have a fundraiser document type and registration document type as well as a handful of others.  When a new fundraiser is created I need to have a register page and some others created under it.  Is there a way for these child pages to created automaticaly whenever a new fundraiser document is created?

    Hi,

    You could do this with the API by using ApplicationBase Events, something like:

            void Document_AfterNew(object sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.NewEventArgs e)
            {
                Document doc = new Document(true,((CMSNode)sender).Id);
                if (doc.ContentType.Alias == "Fundraiser")
                {
                    Document.MakeNew("Name of new node", DocumentType.GetByAlias("RegisterPage"), umbraco.BusinessLogic.User.GetCurrent(), doc.Id);
                }
            }

    See wiki: Using ApplicaitonBase to register events

    Richard Soeteman also had a good blog post about events

    Not a problem!  Also I forgot to mention this will only create the document, not publish anything

    If you want to set properties and/or Publish:

    Document newDoc = Document.MakeNew("Name of new node", DocumentType.GetByAlias("RegisterPage"), umbraco.BusinessLogic.User.GetCurrent(), doc.Id);
    newDoc.getProperty("propertyAlias").Value = "value";
    newDoc.Save();
    newDoc.Publish(umbraco.BusinessLogic.User.GetCurrent());
    umbraco.library.UpdateDocumentCache(newDoc.Id);
