Hello everybody!
Here's what I need:
After publishing objects of a certain class, I need to automate the creation of a new object of a related [sub-]class.
In other words, currently, following the creation of an object of this class, I have to create another object under it which is bound up with its parent. This is something I do manually but it's not handy, so if after publishing the main object I could launch the creation of a new object of a specific class under its node that would be great.
How could I manage to accomplish that?

Hi,
To execute an action after an object is published you can write a after publish worflow event type or a content edit handler. For workflows, there's a nice tutorial on how to write a custom workflow event. For content edit handlers, the most relevant publication is probably this article from Łukasz.
Cheers
