Umbraco V9 Event to Notification Handler Example

DontShout.cs

using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Events;
using Umbraco.Cms.Infrastructure.Services.Notifications;

namespace TestingEvents
{
    public class DontShout : INotificationHandler<ContentPublishingNotification>
    {
        public void Handle(ContentPublishingNotification notification)
        {
            foreach (var node in notification.PublishedEntities)
            {
                if (node.ContentType.Alias == "corporateNewsAnnouncement")
                {
                    var newsArticleTitle = node.GetValue<string>("newsTitle");
                    if (newsArticleTitle.Equals(newsArticleTitle.ToUpper()))
                    {
                        // Stop putting news article titles in upper case, so cancel publish
                        // notification.Cancel = true;

                        // Explain why the publish event is cancelled
                        // notification.Messages.Add(new EventMessage("Corporate style guideline infringement", "Don't put the news article title in upper case, no need to shout!", EventMessageType.Error));

                        // Above two lines - simplified
                        notification.CancelOperation(new EventMessage("Corporate style guideline infringement", "Don't put the news article title in upper case, no need to shout!", EventMessageType.Error));
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

Hi Warren, I'm using Umbraco 9 (beta-001) where I'm trying to implement my old event handler. Following your video, in my case, the namespace "Umbraco.Cms.Infrastructure.Services.Notifications" is not available.

Instead, I found the "ContentPublishingNotification" class in "Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services.Notifications".
In the meantime something has changed?

Thank you

Hi @MarGraz
I think I mentioned in the video the namespace will change to help discoverability, I suggest that you update to a nightly build that would have had the same changes I did in that video.

Thanks
Warren

@warrenbuckley thank you for your reply.

I added the nightly source "https://www.myget.org/F/umbraconightly/api/v3/index.json" in the Visual Studio "Package sources", and I found all the nightly versions. Do you recommend the nightly for a future production environment, or it's better if I continue with the "beta-00x"?

Thank you
