Hook when unified file summary is saved

Urban Andersson

Vote:

I'm using the versioning provider, and all the VersioningFile.* and UnifiedFile.* events only fire when files themselves are added/moved/etc, not when file summaries are saved/updated.

Is there a way to hook when a unified file summary is saved? Or is there a smart way of accomplishing the same thing somehow?

Good but very tricky question.

Summary is stored with EPiServers internal O/R-M called ObjectStore and there is no hooks to catch save of an item as far as I can see.

Changeing meta data will trigger reindexing but I can not see how that could be used easily...

The only approach left I can think of is to create a subclass/wrap of VersioningSummary with a hook for save and also subclass/wrap VersioningFile and VirtualPathVersioningProvider to make it return the summary object with your hook.

I tried the approach you suggested, but it turned out to be too much work. I ended up having to subclass/wrap far too many things. So I've gone with a pull solution instead of a push one. Thanks anyway!
