Hello world,

In Global.asax I capture the CmsPosting_Approved in order to send
notifications when postings in certain channels are approved.

However, the notifications should only be sent when it's a new posting
being approved - not when an existing posting is being re-approved
after it's been edited.

How do I make this distinction?

Cheers,
Soren

One way is to check StartDate property of the Posting object, which tells yo
u
when the page first became live (assuming that approving a page would publis
h
it..i.e. you don't have any custom work-flow). Another is to use the
Revisions method. The default method returns all revisions, whether they wer
e
caused by modifying the posting itself, or as a result of a change to a
shared Resource used by the posting. There are overloaded methods that you
can use to exclude Resources and only include revisions caused by approving 
a
Posting, which should be enough to know whether a Posting was approved befor
e.

I hope this helps!

Hi Soren,

you could check the Revision collection of the posting object.
If it contains a revision it is an old posting as a new revision is created
during approve.

Cheers,
Stefan
