I have created an ECL provider for Fredhopper in my provider, Now I want to store some metadata from the external content in the ecl component. For that I have created below event System code

EventSystem.SubscribeAsync(SetOrUpdateMetadataMM, EventPhases.TransactionCommitted);

private void SetOrUpdateMetadata(Component subject, EventArgs args, EventPhases phase)
{
// Code to update the component metadata from external metadata field
}

It is now working fine. But is it possible to call that event on ecl component create? Please suggest.

The event will be the same component save however for that event to work on ecl component create, check for following conditions:

component.BinaryContent != null && component.BinaryContent.MultimediaType.MimeType == "application/externalcontentlibrary"

If these conditions evaluate to true that means it is ecl component.

  • What exactly is your question then? If you want to trigger an event when the item is created outside of Tridion, then it would have to be in Fredhopper

    You can use Save instead of CheckIn and you can use Pre instead of Post...
