With the content definitions api you can "remotely manage definitions, such as Content types, Property Groups, and Property Data Types without deploying code to the Optimizely application or using the admin user interface." Personally, as a dinosaur, I think I will still do it the "old" way by creating content types in code, but in … Continue reading Content Definitions API Templates

First of all.... Happy New Year! While back I wrote a post about how to create term facets from attributes on contenttype properties. Doing a POC at the end of last year, about which I will post later, I remembered that I did not follow up on how to retrieve the facets created that way. … Continue reading Create Find facets based on attributes

By using the Bing Spellcheck API you can auto correct typos in the query and, maybe, return a result.

There are a few things that I found can speed … Continue reading Speed up your site
You may have read about ML.net by now. Among other things there is a recommendation engine. So I decided to try if it would be usable in an Commerce solution. And it is, up to a point. First I needed to get all the orders and put the products that were bought together for each … Continue reading Use ML.net recommender for better up-sell (POC)
Some of you may have noticed I quite like Serilog. And my NuGet package to integrate it in Episerver is used quite a few times, so I guess I am not the only one.
