Dette er CodeArts blog. Vi deler thought-leadership og tekniske tips og tricks - men som regel på engelsk.
Here is just a quick tip for how you can do custom blob http handling when using the Digizuite integration to Optimizely (Episerver) CMS 12.
As Google Analytics have gotten harder and harder to use due to GDPR, legal and privacy concerns I have turned more and more to Matomo. I recently completed v.1 of a new open source tracking integration.
Some people live and breath 'best practice' development. I am not one of them. Risk is, in-experienced developers (or sometimes experienced) might use them just cause they are 'best practice' and not think more about it. Even when it turns out they are not. Here is little example...
WebLoadBreaker is a new, open source, browser based tool to help you do quick and easy load tests.
A classic problem is that you want better structure and governance in for example your blocks. Maybe you have a policy to have all Banners or FAQ items in a specific folder so they can easily be found and re-used across the site, but way too often editors take the 'easy' approach and use the "Create a New Block" option in a content area - which by default places the block in the "For this page" folder, rendering re-use impossible. Here is a simple solution to that.
.NET Core is cross platform. But can you really run Optimizely CMS 12 and everything needed on a tiny ARM based Raspberry PI? Yes you can, and it's not that hard.
AI assisted content creation is an exciting new approach driven by algorithms and models like GPT-3, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion and more. At CodeArt we've been experimenting how to use these technologies to enhance the editorial process. In this second part of the blog series on the topic I'll share a video of a prototype integration to Optimizely (Episerver) CMS of content creation using AI for both images and text.

Generic property lists is a cool editorial feature that has gained a lot of popularity - in spite of still being unsupported (officially). But if you dig a bit deeper you can actually customize the editor experience even more...
Calling all Optimizely (Episerver) Developers in Copenhagen and surrounding area. It's once again time for a real-life meetup!
A classic need in many websites - especially self-service sites - is a placeholder mechanism, so editors can use placeholders in their text to be replaced with user specific data. Recently, working with a client, we ran into this problem and tried out a new approach to empower the content creators to solve this themselves.
Using your content object (CurrentPage / CurrentBlock) as a makeshift viewmodel where you change settings or extend it with user data in the controller before passing it to the view, is unfortunately (and to my surprise) a pretty wide-spread practice among developers implementing Optimizely (Episerver) web sites. But it really needs to stop.
