I ran into a small ImageVault 4 configuration error setting up a new testing environment for a client’s EPiServer 7.5 website the other day; all of our ImageVault pubished media URLs had stopped working. Or, actually they worked…
A few years back I wrote a small tool allowing web administrators to update EPiServer CMS 6 R2 language files by themselves without the help of their website developers. There were of course a few downsides to this,…
In my current project there is a client need to handle massive amounts of photographs and images in a simple manner. To keep all of them in one well organized place we decided to go with the latest…
Some time ago I ran into some problems getting Meriwork‘s ImageVault to function on an EPiServer 7.5 website together with the ELMAH logging tool. Today I experienced the same thing, but this time with my project’s own custom…
I ran into an ArgumentException setting up a custom plug-in decorated with the IFrameComponent attribute today; I wanted to have it appearing in the right hand area of the EPiServer edit mode. After setting up all views, models…
We needed to create a custom toolbox in EPiServer‘s edit mode as a central place of keeping additional functionality for a client’s 7.5 website. The global menu seemed like an excellent place to do this. For a brief…
We added a tools menu alternative to EPiServer‘s global menu in my current project, and thought it’d be great if we could make it feel like the editor was still in EPiServer’s edit mode when using our custom…
We noticed that the edit mode EPiServer search did not function properly for a new website being developed for a client. What caused the issue was mainly two things; the EPiServer search not being set up properly (causing…
I received a disturbing ArgumentNullException today while removing read access for the Everyone role on new pages created in codebehind. Not really difficult once you figure it out, but I thought I’d provide an example to show how…
I needed to set default values for a couple of my EPiServer 7.5 block and page properties today, and found Per Mange Skuseth‘s article on Attribute-based default values. I really like Per’s way of dealing with them, as…
I needed to add a few extra tabs to our EPiServer 7.5 installation last week, and found Per Magne Skuseth‘s comment on Tabs and sort index to be really useful. Of course I managed to alter the piece…
I ran into a bit of trouble the other day trying to get my current project’s EPiServer installation to display proper translations from our custom language files for the PageType group names when creating new pages. Luckily EPiServer’s…
I applied the security fix that I made for the EPiServer CMS 6 R2 version of the Language File Editor tool to the EPiServer 7 version that Hannu Hartikainen made earlier. Also did some code refactoring and removed…
We had this splendid little cache manager in my previous project that simplified handling caching for us. It was written by a former collegue of mine, Patrik Akselsson, and last week I found a need for a similar…
All is set. You got the final go from your client to move their site from EPiServer 7.0 to 7.5, and from here on it should be a walk in the park. Coffee is brewed, installation packages and…
Taking your EPiServer CMS 6 site to 7.5 requires you to make a few code changes. I thought I’d share a piece of code for getting the latest version of a page (published or not), as all you…
The other day I got a question from a collegue of mine whether or not the piece I wrote on supplying scheduled jobs with input parameters (EPiServer CMS6R2) would still work for version 7.5. I suspected it would,…
I wrote a small EPiServer admin tool the other day in order to make it easier to retrieve log files without having direct access to the webserver. It is a rather straight forward piece that lists the files…
