Re: Sitecore 5.3 - Default Field value to Today's Date

Oops.

if ( itm.Database.Name.ToLower() == "master" &&
itm.Fields["myfield"] != null )

That should include checking that the field doesn't already have a value:

if ( itm.Database.Name.ToLower() == "master" &&
itm.Fields["myfield"] != null && itm.Fields["myfield"].Value != "" )

Hey All, I am new to Sitecore and I am curious on how to set the default value of a field to Today's Date. Thanks in advance, Wayne...	dice55m	Jan 16, 2008 12:47 am

OK, now I'm even annoying myself. I think you could use item:created instead of item:saved, which should not raise item:created, which should mean you don't...	John West johnpwest3	Jan 16, 2008 4:13 pm
... Appreciate the quick response John. I created the item:created event handler and it works almost perfectly. When I create an item, it successfully...	dice55m	Jan 16, 2008 9:11 pm
That is very weird - I have never seen that before. It could be something else you're working on, or you might try item:saved instead....	John West johnpwest3	Jan 16, 2008 9:15 pm
Does it open the same item in all content editors, or different items (maybe this is a result of default children in your master?). You may want to use...	John West johnpwest3	Jan 16, 2008 11:02 pm
Hey John, The item is in all of the newly opened Content Editors, with no data tree (the site tree), just the lone item. This is just weird, I do have a...	dice55m	Jan 19, 2008 12:33 am
Sorry for the delayed response. Can you explain what you mean by an OnSave event handler? Do you mean an item:saving or item:saved event handler, a processor...	John West johnpwest3	Jan 21, 2008 5:48 pm
