Hi,

What you mean with automatically isn't entirely clear, the action needs to be triggered.
You can schedule tasks on the server, or use the scheduled task functionality http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/packaging/package-actions/community-made-package-actions/add-a-scheduled-task or use the umbraco events and run the action when a new news item is published for example. 

The example requires an intervention form an editor, but change the rule to a date calculation and use the publish event to trigger the move:

using umbraco.BusinessLogic;
using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web;
 
namespaceAutoMoveToArchive
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Auto move demo
    /// </summary>
    publicclassAutoMoveToArchive:ApplicationBase
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Wire up the event handler
        /// </summary>
        publicAutoMoveToArchive()
        {
            Document.BeforeSave+=newDocument.SaveEventHandler(Document_BeforeSave);
        }

 
        /// <summary>
        /// Before a documents get saved we wil check if the archived proerty is.
        /// When it's set move it to the archive folder.
        /// Again it;s demo code, normally you should also check if it's not allready IN the archived foder ;-)
        /// </summary>
        voidDocument_BeforeSave(Document sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.SaveEventArgs e)
        {
            // Set Arrchive folder id, no excuse to use hard coded values in Umbraco ;-)
            int archiveId =1123; 
            //Log that we are doing something
            Log.Add(LogTypes.Custom, sender.Id,"Document After save Raised");
 
            //Check if the item is news and must e archived
            if(sender.ContentType.Alias=="News"&& sender.getProperty("archived").Value.Equals(1))
            {
                //Yes, move to archive
                sender.Move(archiveId);
 
                //Unpublish from current Node
                umbraco.library.UnPublishSingleNode(sender.Id);
                sender.UnPublish();
                //Publish will get called if the user selected Save and publish
            }
        }
    }
}

 

To delete items, you could use a XSLT library with the following code:

///<summary>

/// Deletes a node from the tree, removal to trash bin

/// </summary>

/// <param name="NodeId">The node id of the page</param>

/// <returns> Boolena</returns>

public static string DeleteNode(int NodeId) {

    try

    {

        Document d = new Document(NodeId);

        d.delete();

        return "true";

    }

    catch (Exception e) {

        umbraco.BusinessLogic.Log.Add(LogTypes.Error, -1, e.ToString() + " Nodeid:" + NodeId);

        return "false"; 

    }

 

}

Thats great thank you soo much,
Any example of the event handler?

My experience in coding is not its best haha! 

The event handler is in the code above:

/// <summary>
        /// Wire up the event handler
        /// </summary>
        public AutoMoveToArchive()
        {
            Document.BeforeSave+=newDocument.SaveEventHandler(Document_BeforeSave);
        }

Before saving the document, Document_BeforeSave will be excuted

The events are documented on the wiki: 

http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/api-cheatsheet/using-applicationbase-to-register-events/overview-of-all-events

And there is more info on the api cheat sheet:

http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/api-cheatsheet

 

If you show me what you already have, then maybe I can help you out. 

L.

 

Thats great, thank you!

How do i apply this code to the Site? is it through a macro?

I also need an event handler before i add the code to the site, thats another thing i am unable to do.

You can compile the code, or put it in a file in the App_Code folder.
The event handler is already there. You don't need to do more than that. 

And all the events are in the document: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/api-cheatsheet/using-applicationbase-to-register-events/event-examples ;

This isn't going to work out of the box, you will have to do some coding to get this working. 

Show me what code you already have, and I'll see if I can help you out. 

 

 

 

 

for the Archive main Script code i have saved it as a CSHTML File with the following code:

using umbraco.BusinessLogic;

using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web;

 

namespaceAutoMoveToArchive

{

/// Auto Move Function

    publicclassAutoMoveToArchive:ApplicationBase

    {

        /// Below is link to the event handler

        publicAutoMoveToArchive()

        {

            Document.BeforeSave+=newDocument.SaveEventHandler(Document_BeforeSave);

        }

 

 

        /// Archive Property Check

        voidDocument_BeforeSave(Document sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.SaveEventArgs e)

        {

            /// Archive Folder ID

            int archiveId =1138; 

 

            /// Log what happens

            Log.Add(LogTypes.Custom, sender.Id,"Document After save Raised");

 

            /// Checking to See if News item is not Archived

            if(sender.ContentType.Alias=="News"&& sender.getProperty("archived").Value.Equals(1))

            {

                /// If so Move to Archive Folder by ID

                sender.Move(archiveId);

 

                // Unpublish Item

                umbraco.library.UnPublishSingleNode(sender.Id);

                sender.UnPublish();

 

                /// Publish will get called if the user selected Save and publish

            }

        }

    }

}

 

and for the event trigger, i have added this into the Umbraco.config file between the <schedule> tag with the following code:

 

        publicAutoMoveToArchive()
        {
            Document.BeforeSave+=newDocument.SaveEventHandler(Document_BeforeSave);
        }

Ok, ic, this not how it works. 

Create a file, in the App_Code folder called "updateArchive.cs"

Paste the code from the example: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/packaging/package-actions/community-made-package-actions/add-a-scheduled-task

Create a Document type called "News" with a property "archived" (boolean) and any other properties that you would need (title, content, etc.).
Then you need a folder that allows "News" items underneath the Archive folder (create a folder, and create a news item in that folder, and check if it works, if it doesn't, look at the document type of the folder to allows the news doctype), get the id of that archive folder (on the properties tab of the pages in umbraco)
Change the line int archiveId =1138;  with the ID of the Archive folder on your system.

Clean up all the stuff you added in your previous post. Restart umbraco and the code should run when you save a new.  

But I think this is a bit too complicated if you are not used to code to get things running.
Umbraco is really flexible, but you need to build the stuff you want.
