Hi Jais,

Take a look at the Dynamicweb templates for Visual Studio. In the News V2 Category you find a News Item Saved notification that may do do what you need:

[Dynamicweb.Extensibility.Subscribe(Dynamicweb.Modules.News.Notifications.ItemSaved)]
public class NewsV2ItemSavedObserver1 : Dynamicweb.Extensibility.NotificationSubscriber
{
  public override void OnNotify(string notification, Dynamicweb.Extensibility.NotificationArgs args)
  {
    if (args == null)
      return;

    if (!(args is Dynamicweb.Modules.News.Extensibility.NewsItemNotificationArgs))
      return;

    Dynamicweb.Modules.News.Extensibility.NewsItemNotificationArgs news = (Dynamicweb.Modules.News.Extensibility.NewsItemNotificationArgs)args;

    //news.Item.NewsAuthor = "me";
    //news.Item.Save();
  }
}

Cheers,

Hi Jais,

There is a notification for when a news item is saved - Dynamicweb.Modules.News.Notifications.ItemSaved

However, it's not only triggered when new items are created, but also when existing items are updated. So you might want to check the NewsCreatedDate or mark the item in some way.

I'm not sure about what can cause the issue you describe regarding If Defined. Can you post the HTML with If Defined here?

But only by a few seconds ;-) And you added a lot of value by saying the notification gets called on Update as well....
