Hi, could someone explain to me how the sample umbracoBlog package manages to automatically create the date folders when making a post?
Thanks and have a good weekend.

I uses a actionhandler. I found on google archive a blog post from Daniel Bjornbakk http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:Y-3OACWOsVkJ:weblog.151278.org/snippets-library/umbraco-hacks/archive-date-folder-actionhandler.aspx+umbraco+actionhandler&hl=is&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=is&client=firefox-a

the umbracoblog uses an action handler that moves the blog item into the proper folder (based on the create date) during the action new event.

Aha! That makes sense. Very interesting.
Unfortunately, although the link above works, the page is broken and I can't access any of the links on it... Do you have another link?

Here is the umbraco Blog code in C#. The execute method is the one that does all work. I hope this help :D Code:
public bool Execute(umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web.Document documentObject, umbraco.interfaces.IAction action)
{
if (documentObject.ContentType.Alias == "umbracoBlogPost")
{
if (new Document(documentObject.Parent.Id).ContentType.Alias != "umbracoBlogDateFolder")
{
string[] refNr =
(documentObject.CreateDateTime.Year.ToString() + "-" +
documentObject.CreateDateTime.Month.ToString() + "-" +
documentObject.CreateDateTime.Day.ToString())
.Split("-".ToCharArray());
if (refNr.Length == 3)
{
// Check if year exists
Document year = null;
foreach(umbraco.BusinessLogic.console.IconI i in documentObject.Parent.Children)
{
if (i.Text == refNr[0])
{
year = new Document(i.Id);
break;
}
}
if (year == null)
{
year = Document.MakeNew(refNr[0], DocumentType.GetByAlias("umbracoBlogDateFolder"), documentObject.User, documentObject.Parent.Id);
year.Publish(documentObject.User);
umbraco.library.PublishSingleNode(year.Id);
}
else
umbraco.BusinessLogic.Log.Add(umbraco.BusinessLogic.LogTypes.Debug, documentObject.User, documentObject.Id, "executed - year not null");
// Check if month exists
Document month = null;
foreach(umbraco.BusinessLogic.console.IconI i in year.Children)
{
if (i.Text == refNr[1])
{
month = new Document(i.Id);
break;
}
}
if (month == null)
{
month = Document.MakeNew(refNr[1], DocumentType.GetByAlias("umbracoBlogDateFolder"), documentObject.User, year.Id);
month.Publish(documentObject.User);
umbraco.library.PublishSingleNode(month.Id);
}
// Check if day exists
Document day = null;
foreach(umbraco.BusinessLogic.console.IconI i in month.Children)
{
if (i.Text == refNr[2])
{
day = new Document(i.Id);
break;
}
}
if (day == null)
{
day = Document.MakeNew(refNr[2], DocumentType.GetByAlias("umbracoBlogDateFolder"), documentObject.User, month.Id);
day.Publish(documentObject.User);
umbraco.library.PublishSingleNode(day.Id);
}
documentObject.Move(day.Id);
}
}
return true;
}
else
return false;
}

How do I implement this as a .NET user control and make it work when e.g. creating a new news article or so?
