Find recently changed pages

by: Anders Murel 05 December 2011

Today I stumbled over an undocumented feature in EPiServer CMS: RecentlyChangedPagesFinder

My mission was to make some sort of superlist with data from Twitter, Facebook and the latest changed pages from EPiServer.

The solution was to add EPiServer.Cms.Schell.UI.dll to my project and use the following code:

IEnumerable<RecentlyChangedPage> recentChanges = new RecentlyChangedPagesFinder().Find(10);

If you want to get changes for a specific user:

IEnumerable<RecentlyChangedPage> recentChanges = new RecentlyChangedPagesFinder().Find(10, "username");

This method uses the ChangeLog functionality introduced in CMS 6.

Comments:

1. The "Recently changed pages" dashboard gadget also uses this feature. Nice to know.

2. That is correct Mr. Henrichsen. The reports in Report Center also if I'm not mistaken.
