And it is for many reasons. There are exceptions though, and Dynamic Data Store is one of them. In contrast to EPiServer.DataFactory for example, which is a sealed class, both DynamicDataStoreFactory and DynamicDataStore are abstract classes. This is good news from a testing perspective since we can override their behavior. Good work team!</p> <p>The example I´m gonna show is from the <a href="http://episocial.codeplex.com/">EPiSocial plugin</a> I´ve been working on, which uses DDS. This is from the CommentRepository.</p> <h2>Setup</h2> <p>First some setup changes. Instead of using DynamicDataStoreFactory.Instance to get the store:</p> <div style="border-bottom: silver 1px solid; text-align: left; border-left: silver 1px solid; padding-bottom: 4px; line-height: 12pt;

I think this shows how easy testing can be if it is somewhat supported by the framework. Hoping for more of this in upcoming EPiServer versions.</p>2010-11-29T08:06:51.0000000ZBlog post EPiSocial – Using PageObjects<p>After my <a href="http://world.episerver.com/Blogs/Niklas-Melinder/Dates/2010/11/A-social-plugin-for-EPiServer/">previous post</a> on the EPiSocial plugin, <a href="http://world.episerver.com/Blogs/Paul-Smith/">Paul Smith</a> pointed out that I should consider using Page Objects (PO) rather than plain Dynamic Data Store (DDS) to store page related data. The upside of using PO is that it provides support for mirroring and import/export. The downside being that it handles things on a page by page basis which makes queries over multiple pages a bit tricky. This is necessary when doing things like getting pages with the highest rating or getting pages with most comments. </p> <p>Luckily, the process of changing the plugin from using DDS to PO is as simple as creating new implementations of the ICommentRepository and IRatingRepository interfaces.</p> <p>After some minor changes from the previous version they look like this:</p> <div style="border-bottom: silver 1px solid;

The reverse thing happens when getting comments from the store. This mapping might seem unnecessary, why don´t use the DynamicDataStoreComment directly instead? There are good reasons.</p> <p>One being that I want the plugin to be extendable. If I or someone else wanted to create a different implementation using a different storage, that implementation probably won´t care about EPiServer.Data. </p> <p>Another reason is that testing code using the API should not have to know about EPiServer.Data either.</p> <h2>AddComment</h2> <div style="border-bottom: silver 1px solid;

But since the PageObjectManager works on a per page basis, this kind of query cannot be done using it. But since PO uses DDS in the background, we can create a query using DDS directly to get the latest comments:</p> <div style="border-bottom: silver 1px solid; text-align: left; border-left: silver 1px solid;

It now contains a EPiSocial.PageObjects assembly with the new PO implementation.</p>2010-11-14T20:22:01.0000000ZBlog post A social plugin for EPiServer<h2>The background</h2> <p>Since the release of EPiServer 6 i haven´t been engaged in any pure EPiServer projects and therefor haven´t got to use the new and shiny features that comes with version 6. Because of that (and the fact that my EPiServer developer certificate soon will expire again) I started playing around with the Dynamic Data Store recently to get a better grip on it.</p> <h2>The goal</h2> <p>The goal of this, other than me getting to know DDS, was to create a plugin for EPiServer that provided some basic “social” features like comments and ratings. There has been numerous blogposts and demos on how to implement this kind of functionality using DDS, but I thought I would take it a step further and create a ready-to-use plugin.</p> <p>Besides that, I wanted the use of it to be as simple as possible. No configuration, no setup, no extra files. Just drop an assembly in the bin-folder and get busy coding.</p> <h2>The result</h2> <p>The result of all this became a plugin that provides a simple API for creating comments and ratings for EPiServer pages. It also contains a simple editmode plugin for managing these for each page.</p> <p>This is to be considered in an alpha stage. There still remains some work before it is ready and additional features will be added along the way. Feel free to try it out.</p> <p>This post focuses on how to use the EPiSocial plugin rather than how DDS works.</p> <h2>Single assembly deployment</h2> <p>Well, almost. The plugin itself is just a single assembly, but it depends on both AutoMapper and StructureMap.</p> <p>So the deployment consists of adding the following three assemblies to your bin-folder:</p> <ul> <li>EPiSocial.dll </li> <li>AutoMapper.dll </li> <li>StructureMap.dll </li> </ul> <p>Then add a reference to EPiSocial and you´re done.</p> <h2>POCO objects</h2> <p>The comments and ratings are simple POCO objects and looks like this:</p> <p>PageComment class:</p> <div style="border-bottom: silver 1px solid;

As the good developer you are you should instead have dependencies on the interface IEPiSocialService or any of the repository interfaces ICommentRepository or IRatingRepository.</p> <h2>Editmode plugin</h2> <p>When adding the EPiSocial assembly you also get an editmode plugin added to EPiServer. It is a tab in the editpanel of each page named “EPiSocial”. The plugin contains some statistics for the current page and the ability to reset ratings and remove unwanted comments.</p> <p><a href="/link/78acb789c6334358ba50018eb190f254.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="EPiSocial" border="0" alt="EPiSocial" src="/link/98a2b6ff69a34007b2a966319d3a2f60.jpg" width="354" height="214" /></a></p> <p>This has been an introduction to EPiSocial. The project is just in it´s first stumbling steps and any feedback is appreciated.</p> <p>The plugin can be <a href="http://tech.cloudnine.se/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/EPiSocial_1.0.zip">downloaded here</a> for now.
