Asp.Net Core Built-In Support This is code fragment from official documentation how to localize content using built-in functionality. App Content Localization [Route("api/[controller]")] public class AboutController : Controller { private readonly IStringLocalizer<AboutController> _localizer; public AboutController(IStringLocalizer<AboutController> localizer) { _localizer = localizer; } [HttpGet] public string Get() { return _localizer["About Title"]; } } And if you are working with Html content that shouldn't be escaped during rendering - you are using IHtmlLocalizer implementation that returns LocalizedHtmlString instance. public class BookController : Controller { private readonly IHtmlLocalizer<BookController&…

Along with other smaller bug fixes, database-driven localization provider for EPiServer got closer to front-end. We joined forces together with my old pal and friend Arve Systad and made it possible to add translations to client side resources as well. Setup So setup for the client-side resource localization with help of DbLocalizationProvider plugin is more or less straight forward. You will need to install DbLocalizationProvider.EPiServer.JsResourceHandler package from EPiServer feed and add corresponding <script> include in your markup file to fetch translations from the server: <script…

Great colleague of mine Māris Krivtežs wrote blog post about feature folders describing code organization into folders by features or functional areas rather than technology or different grouping. However, one of cons from Maris' approach we couldn't reconcile with - name of the sub-feature folder needs to follow Mvc controller naming convention. "Another issue is related to the sub-feature folder naming. Sub-feature folder still should be called with the same name as a controller." So I made tiny adjustment to the view engine worth sharing. Adjusted code is…

This is the story how I discovered clean, understandable and maintainable software architecture. Why it's round shape and not pentagon, hexagon or any other *-gon shape? In this blog post I'll guide you through my journey. This part will cover theoretical side. Next blog post will map it to the code. Classical Architecture Agree that we all have been taught about N-tier/layer application software in high schools, universities or between the pages of some software development magazine?! Where order and most importantly dependency direction was stressed as one of…

Time to time when working on various projects we come across requirement to control somehow which DisplayOption will be selected as default, once content is placed inside particular ContentArea. As most of our projects are running under Twitter Bootstrap system - this is ideal feature request for EPiServer Bootstrap Content Area plugin. As I'm always trying to be developer friendly - I would like to be able to define these default display option rules in the code. And finally version 3.3 got these features. Default DisplayOption for Block So…
