Adding .NET Aspire application host to your Optimizely project (even if it’s just for local development) is really a time-saver when it comes to setting up your local development environment, spinning up resources you need and tracing it during runtime.

I’m pleased to announce that Localization Provider v8.0 is finally out.

We have more than seven hundred packages (717) on Optimizely NuGet feed. 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.

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.

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.

Experimental project with handy tools for developers is back for Optimizely v12.

Import functionality has been delayed for several versions of DbLocalizationProvider. However, with the help of community member - this feature has finally been implemented!

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.

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.

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)?

Many Thanks!

Optimizely Content Cloud is approaching fast and partners are working on getting modules out on the feed for the rest of us to test.

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.

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 :)

Hi all,

Recently I got a question from a very good friend of mine about how to properly unit test localization provider.
