Optimizely

This is the second in a series of posts that look at some potential ways that the Optimizely and Episerver products can be integrated.  In this post we will be updating the code that was created in the first article to include a Full Stack A/B test to determine if an increase in price would affect […]

With the rebranding of Episerver to Optimizely there have been several questions floating around about the Optimizely stack and how it can be used in a traditional Episerver project. This is a quick four part series where we look at some potential ways the products can be integrated.  Here are the links to all of the […]

Recently a friend posted on the forums about the idea of being able to share a preview link to an item. While the solution outlined below may not meet his exact needs, it illustrates how easy it is to tap into Episerver plug-in areas to and add additional functionality to the editing interface. There are […]

After learning how to set up a basic continuous integration (CI) pipeline through Azure in my first blog, How to Set Up Automated Deployment with CI/CD Pipelines through Azure, the next stage is walking through the steps to build the CI pipeline for the Episerver B2B Commerce application.

These users are posting multiple irrelevant links to their own website to try to boost their ranking, or even posting URL links to dangerous or unsolicited websites. To avoid suspicious email addresses, we can check the reputation […]

I recently came across a project where there was a slightly different twist for the site’s authentication needs.  For this project the company had three different authentication scenarios that needed to be covered. Log in via a primary Azure AD tenant. This Azure AD instance was set up with application roles and the users were […]

Valdis Iljuconoks previously helped me understand how to effectively implement AllowedTypes restrictions with interfaces, something like  [AllowedTypes(typeof(INestedContent))]– which is a beautiful solution for building a block library. This makes our blocks and their Content Areas only concern themselves with specific interfaces. In our case, we usually have layers such as IPageContent (for stripes, grid structures, […]

Episerver Find is a great and easy way to integrate search into your Episerver powered website.  One often overlooked aspect, however, is keeping your search indexes lean.  By default, Episerver will index all instances of content across your website, whether it’s Pages, Blocks, Media, or Folders- Find doesn’t care and will index all of it.  […]

If you’re building modern web applications, you need to carefully consider the front-end technology stack you use. Webpack, a static module bundler, combined with NPM for package management, is a great starting point. Here’s how you can incorporate these technologies into your Asp.net MVC application built upon Episerver. Alongside Node.js, we need to have node-sass […]
