In the first post on my Sitefinity Toolkit series, I’ll be introducing the SiteMap Generator, which creates an ashx handler to automatically create an XML Sitemap. This can be submitted to Bing, Google, or any other search engine. Installation Download and install the Sitefinity Toolkit to your bin directory. Be sure to download the correct […]
It’s no secret that I am a devout fan of the Sitefinity content management system by Telerik. But in developing a handful of sites over the past few years, I’ve discovered that I’m doing a lot of things over and over that I wish were part of the Sitefinity core. That’s where the Sitefinity Toolkit […]
As a developer, one of the things I hate most about my job is when people call me to fix their login errors, especially when the problem is a forgotten password: Are you sure you remember your password? Yes. Are you sure you typed the password correctly? YES! Are you SURE? YES!! Do you have […]
Boy, has it been a while since I’ve been in here… Those of you that know me know I’ve been busy. Between my real work, my other work (i’m officially a freelancer!), and my personal work (including my dj and personal life) it’s amazing I find time to breathe. But enough excuses, I still have […]
If you need to ensure that the RadPanelBar control (which I use for sidebar navigation) remains expanded, check out the RadPanelbar1_ItemDataBound method in the control located at /Sitefinity/UserControls/Navigation35/SitePanelBar.ascx.

However, the module itself stands alone, and I was in need of a way to link the individual videos to specific news stories, and vice-versa. Fortunately, after spending some time with my favorite tool Reflector […]
In case you are using some of the Custom Index Providers I blogged about previously, you may encounter some errors when upgrading to the new Sitefinity 3.6 SP1 that was released this week. The problem is that the IIndexerInfo interface how requires a new method, ResolveIndexPath(). Since the Sitefinity team is still catching up on […]
This post is for anyone who is encountering the following errors in their asp.net applications: The server tag ‘asp:ScriptManager’ is ambiguous. Please modify the associated registration that is causing ambiguity and pick a new tag prefix. The base class includes the field ‘ScriptManager1’, but its type (System.Web.UI.ScriptManager) is not compatible with the type of control […]
While developing an online form, I came upon the need to insert two copies the results to a database, one for each of two options selected on the form. The only thing different between these entries would be this option, and of course, the autogenerated ID for the row’s primary key. While I could simply […]
On my personal website I have a section where I feature my music, categorized as songs I’ve written, remixed, and mix sets that I’ve produced. Using the built-in category view for generic content, I can show different lists of my music based on the selected category passed via query string. Unfortunately, Sitefinity currently shows the […]
