During the EPiServer Ascend event I attended a lab called external content replication which I though was quite interesting, you can find the instructions here. The lab showed us how to treat external content, integrate it in EPiServer using a job, save it outside of the root site and create these content types in a different tab of the assets […]
I think this is a common issue when you create a job in EPiServer, you try to get the start page from the code and unfortunately the ContentReference.StartPage does not have the correct nor valid reference set in the variable. This post is about two possible solutions that you can use to solve this problem. […]
While researching about how to intercept the download of a media file we found several posts, like this one, that mentioned the use of DownloadMediaRouter.DownloadSegment to get the file name and send it as part of the content disposition header of the response. Unfortunately, in our project it did not work as expected in all […]
While researching about how to get all blocks of an specific type we found that the only available solution was to use the ContentModelUsage API . However, if some of the blocks are not referenced in a page this API will not be useful. Moreover, if a block is referenced 10.000 times in the CMS […]
While working in a project for a client, we had to develop a media importer process which had to save several Pdfs and Excel files to the CMS. The files were inside a zip file in conjunction with a json configuration file which details the properties of the files. We could have used the media […]
When you are working with EPiServer in a DXC environment sometimes you can have issues with CloudFlare and its aggressive cache. This can cause problems with css and js files because the client will not receive the latest version of the files unless they clean their cache in the browser. So for this post, we […]
Even though this is not completely related to EPiServer, sometimes we need to give our clients the option to disable tracking them when for instance a user does not approve a GDPR modal. In this post, we are going to disable google tag manager which is set in a field in the home page and […]
While developing a project we decided to use properties with the ignore attribute to set some information programatically as well as hide these properties to the editor in some page and block models. A better explanation of this can be found here. Unfortunately, we realized that these properties were causing some issues we did not […]
I have been inspired by some interesting post about how to handle large amounts of pages in EPiServer such as this one, this other one, and last but not the least this one. All of them point to use a more structured site, sometimes using categories and more often using the current date as part […]
TinyMCE is the default html editor for XhtmlString fields in EPiServer. Before EPiServer CMS 11, it was possible to add TinyMCE editor configurations by code or using the CMS editor interface, but from version 11 the configurations are only set by code. Today, I will show you how to configure a default and field specific […]
