The POC continues. As you may have noticed the solution I wrote about yesterday only worked sever side, no client side validation e.g. This can be fixed as well. First I added another method to my util class, to get the fake ControllerContext and refactored it, so you won’t need the Dummy controller. I just … Continue reading Forms and WebForms pt2
So you have upgraded your WebForms site to EPiServer 9 because your customer would love to use the new Forms module. Of course you can’t as the new Forms module does not support WebForms, which yo may have overlooked, as I did. I personally don’t understand why it's not supported, as the CMS still supports … Continue reading Forms and WebForms
If you want to create a landing page for your promotion, you might want to display all items your promotion applies to. This is one way you might do it: In a Promotion (PromotionData) you have a DiscountItems property. This contains ContentReferences to all items your Promotion applies to. This can be ProductContent, VariationContent or … Continue reading Getting all products a promotion applies to
You may have noticed that the new promotion system within EPiServer Commerce is finally out of beta. Besides all the obvious advantages there is a little treasure in there as well. In the old days we used to create custom blocks for displaying a banner for a promotion. Or we used some other way. This … Continue reading New Promotions and their Banners
As from EPiServer 9.4 you can make use of the notification api. It’s mainly used within the projects feature as far as I can tell, but I found another use for it. NOTE: It's still in beta. Imagine you have a scheduled job e.g. It does some important processing, e.g. sending order information to SAP … Continue reading Using the new EPiServernotification API

Arild Henrichsen wrote a post while back about the how, what and why of readonly mode for the CMS part, and those things apply to Commerce as well I guess. Though with a shop in readonly mode … you will still … Continue reading EPiCommerce in ReadOnly mode : Note to self
So you want to update your EPiServer Commerce site, but you don’t want to lose orders. That’s still not really possible, a little downtime is still needed, or I missed something. So I did a little POC. I created a “messaging” service. You can send a cart to it. The cart will be put into … Continue reading POC: Upgrade EPiCommerce without losing orders?
Sometimes you may want to use an enum from Business Foundation on your product/variation. In my case the “Organization Customer Group” that can be set on an Organization. For this you need a custom “SelectManyAttribute” and a “SelectionFactory”. This attribute doe not do more than set the selection factory and the name of the enum … Continue reading Use ENUM MetaField as property on your product/variation
I'm looking forward to the Profile Store in EPiServer, but in the mean time I want some information to be remembered. You can, of course, create your own persistent visitor groups, but who knows what will change when the Profile Store arrives. I just wanted the Visited Pages to be remembered, and perhaps the Visited … Continue reading Remember me, (re)store visited pages and categories
I was poking around n Quicksilver and I found an interesting piece of code for adding exchange rates to your site. In Quicksilver it is done once, during initialization, so I decided to create a scheduled job for it as rates tend to change 🙂 Pluggable, so you can add your own provider. The scheduled … Continue reading Schedule exchange rate updates in Commerce
