Official Optimizely packages are part of this number, but the majority is community driven open-source packages enhancing and extending the platform, services and developer, administrator or editor experiences. It’s a lot. And there is a great community behind this number. https://tech-fellow.eu/2023/03/06/overview-of-less-known-optimizely-add-ons Mon, 06 Mar 2023 08:30:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2023/02/11/optimizely-forms-advanced-contentarea-renderer-is-back Advanced Content Area Renderer is now available for Optimizely content. However, it would be nice to apply display options to Optimizely Forms elements as well. https://tech-fellow.eu/2023/02/11/optimizely-forms-advanced-contentarea-renderer-is-back Sat, 11 Feb 2023 15:00:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2023/01/23/optimizely-advanced-contentarea-render-is-back If you have used EPiBootstrapArea package - then back in those days we had an opportunity to render Episerver ContentArea items with different DisplayOptions based on Twitter’s Bootstrap framework grid system. https://tech-fellow.eu/2023/01/23/optimizely-advanced-contentarea-render-is-back Mon, 23 Jan 2023 07:00:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2022/12/13/developertools-are-back Experimental project with handy tools for developers is back for Optimizely v12. https://tech-fellow.eu/2022/12/13/developertools-are-back Tue, 13 Dec 2022 10:00:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2022/11/21/import-your-localized-resources-in-v7-5 Import functionality has been delayed for several versions of DbLocalizationProvider. However, with the help of community member - this feature has finally been implemented! https://tech-fellow.eu/2022/11/21/import-your-localized-resources-in-v7-5 Mon, 21 Nov 2022 11:00:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2022/11/01/dynamic-route-in-asp-net-core-when Background Creating one of the add-on for Optimizely I had to deal with challenge to register dynamically route for the API controller. Dynamic route here means that user is able to provide own url segment on top of which add-on user interface and supporting API service endpoints will be registered. https://tech-fellow.eu/2022/11/01/dynamic-route-in-asp-net-core-when Tue, 01 Nov 2022 08:00:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2022/04/22/googleproductfeed-for-optimizely-reloaded The previous version of GoogleProductFeed package for EPiServer / Optimizely had some inherited problems. In case you need a few product feed format “exports” of your catalog data - loading multiple times the same catalog content was one of the major issues. There are sites that have thousands of products and variations and loading them takes quite a bit of time. https://tech-fellow.eu/2022/04/22/googleproductfeed-for-optimizely-reloaded Thu, 21 Apr 2022 22:15:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2022/02/10/how-to-configure-microsoft-extensions-logging-in-optimizely-cms11 You might be thinking that Microsoft.Extensions.Logging and related packages are useful only for .NET Core and above. That’s not entirely true. While Microsoft.Extensions.Logging is target .NET Standard it’s possible to use it even on .NET Framework 4.x. This is de-facto logging library that class libraries should use at very least. Where Optimizely (ex. Episerver) CMS11 (running on .NET Framework) would collide with anything from the “new world” (.NET5)? https://tech-fellow.eu/2022/02/10/how-to-configure-microsoft-extensions-logging-in-optimizely-cms11 Wed, 09 Feb 2022 22:00:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2022/01/23/dblocalizationprovider-for-optimizely Many Thanks! https://tech-fellow.eu/2022/01/23/dblocalizationprovider-for-optimizely Sun, 23 Jan 2022 21:15:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2021/09/03/how-to-pack-your-shell-module-for-optimizely-content-cloud Optimizely Content Cloud is approaching fast and partners are working on getting modules out on the feed for the rest of us to test. https://tech-fellow.eu/2021/09/03/how-to-pack-your-shell-module-for-optimizely-content-cloud Fri, 03 Sep 2021 17:00:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2021/08/19/whats-new-coming-in-optimizely-vnext Intro I was wondering what new assemblies and public APIs are coming in new version of Content Management System from Optimizely (ex. EPiServer). I took standard AlloyTech site created via Episerver VS integration plugin (for CMS11) and .NET Core Preview site (v12.0.1-pre-022064) and ran some comparison script I hacked together at evening. https://tech-fellow.eu/2021/08/19/whats-new-coming-in-optimizely-vnext Wed, 18 Aug 2021 22:10:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2020/12/07/episerver-scheduled-jobs-under-the-hood Introduction https://tech-fellow.eu/2020/12/07/episerver-scheduled-jobs-under-the-hood Mon, 07 Dec 2020 19:00:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2020/09/06/bootstrap-content-area-update-for-episerver Twitter Bootstrap Content Area package hasn’t been updated for a while which might mean either no one is using it or it’s mature enough that does not require new features :) https://tech-fellow.eu/2020/09/06/bootstrap-content-area-update-for-episerver Sun, 06 Sep 2020 07:15:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2020/07/09/localization-provider-update Hi all, https://tech-fellow.eu/2020/07/09/localization-provider-update Thu, 09 Jul 2020 16:10:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2020/03/31/localizationprovider-under-the-tests Recently I got a question from a very good friend of mine about how to properly unit test localization provider. https://tech-fellow.eu/2020/03/31/localizationprovider-under-the-tests Tue, 31 Mar 2020 16:00:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2020/03/17/episerver-localization-provider-major-v6-released Introduction https://tech-fellow.eu/2020/03/17/episerver-localization-provider-major-v6-released Tue, 17 Mar 2020 16:00:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2020/01/12/episerver-contentarea-with-allowedtypes-specified-by-interface Background https://tech-fellow.eu/2020/01/12/episerver-contentarea-with-allowedtypes-specified-by-interface Sun, 12 Jan 2020 19:45:00 GMT Blog post https://tech-fellow.eu/2020/01/03/episerver-developertools-ui-refresh Been busy with some UI refreshment effort on Episerver DeveloperTools. https://tech-fellow.eu/2020/01/03/episerver-developertools-ui-refresh Fri, 03 Jan 2020 19:45:00 GMT Blog post
