Commerce Product Price Update Event Handler

Version 8

We had a qestion regarding even handlers for catalog updates. At the moment we have a requirement for re-indexing any product that is updated. For this we are using the following feature available -

http://world.episerver.com/documentation/Class-library/?documentId=commerce/8/85A3C683
http://sdk.episerver.com/commerce/1.1.1/Content/Developers%20Guide/Catalog%20System/Catalog%20How%20To%20Code%20Samples/Writing%20Event%20Handlers.htm

and you use some code like below

CatalogEventBroadcaster.Instance.LocalEntryUpdated += LocalEntryUpdated;

The above works perfectly fine and triggers when content is published. There is also a method to track relation updates when a variant is added to a product which also works fine.

However we have noticed that the price updates don't seem to trigger any of the above and there is no way to attach an event to price updates. This is critical for us as we need to do two critical things on price updates

a) Reindex the product in EPiserver find immediately and

b) Create a price history log.

Also just need a confirmation that if a content is publihed using the scheduler, will the event listners get trigger and would they re-index the product corectly.

Hi,

Yes, price updates do not trigger events. If you want to handle events, you'll need to implement your own IPriceService and IPriceDetailService which will trigger events when you call save. I guess you can mimick what we are doing in PriceServiceDatabase and PriceDetailDatabase and add relevant events.
