Itera.DynamicDataEdit v0.1 - Edit your objects with EPiServer Properties

by: Anders Hattestad

I have had a lot of fun looking around in the inner workings of the new Dynamic Data Store. The concept is brilliant and can be used in a lot of different ways. My Itera.MultiProperty was one way of grouping and using properties in other places than the original was meant for, but that used text as storage for the sub properties. I have made a project that can take a object and edit it with EPiServer properties. If you have  class like this: public class Contact { public string Name { get; se... [ Read full article ]

PDF Snapshot

by: Allan Thræn

A quite common request I have heard a number of times is the need to take a snapshot of a web site and store it securely, in order to in the future be able to proof what was stated on the site at a given date. I know a number of EPiServer customers have already implemented solutions for this – but so far there haven’t been an easy, generic solution to the problem. Until now :-) Here is a small, handy scheduled task, that you can set up to take a snapshot of the entire website into JPG and / o... [ Read full article ]

Attaching a Page Provider programmatically

by: Allan Thræn

Configuration vs Code – it’s a classic dilemma. Both have their ups and downs. However, I am the kind of guy that tends to prefer code over configuration (you already guessed, I’m sure). Today I got a question if it’s possible to attach a page provider programmatically – and of course it is. Actually, all you have to do is to instantiate your provider, initialize it and add it to the PageProvider Map in the DataFactory. If you want to persist over IIS restarts, however you also need to add it... [ Read full article ]

Virtual Roles and Visitor Segmentation

by: Allan Thræn

I just extended a little on the Virtual Roles Sample Pack project on Codeplex after Joe came to me with a challenge: “I want to push a personalized message on my web site to everyone who is an EPiServer Certified Developer and who have visited page A, B and C.” Since personalization is one of the many passions that I like to spend every waken moment thinking about, I jumped at the challenge and decided to extend the Virtual Roles project to include this functionality. In order to do so, I add... [ Read full article ]

A developer’s guide to PageTypeBuilder

by: Frederik Vig

Page Type Builder allows developers to define EPiServer page types in code which eliminates the need to synchronize page types between different servers. As page types are declared in code it also enables inheritance between page types and strongly typed property access. From the PageTypeBuilder project Joel Abrahamsson has done a superb job with the project and [...] [ Read full article ]
