Comments events

This article contains
NEW TO SITEFINITY?

This section provides you with an overview of the comment events that use the Telerik.Sitefinity.Services.Comments assembly. 

All content modules support comments that expose their own set of events. You can use these events to execute your own logic whenever an action on a comment is performed. This logic is executed for all modules, which support comments. The type of the items, which are commented, is passed as an argument to your event handler. With the rest of the events, you must always use interfaces to subscribe, even if the actual events that fire are concrete implementations (classes).

Following is a full list of the events supported by comments:

ICommentEvent

This interface is implemented by all events fired for Comments. Use it, if you want to subscribe to all of them.
Subscribe using the following code:

using System;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Abstractions;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Services;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Services.Comments;
namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Bootstrapper.Bootstrapped += Bootstrapper_Bootstrapped;
}
private void Bootstrapper_Bootstrapped(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
EventHub.Subscribe<ICommentEvent>(evt => CommentsEventHandler(evt));
}
public void CommentsEventHandler(ICommentEvent eventInfo)
{
var item = eventInfo.Item;
}
}
}
