When you create a blog in Sitefinity, you must also assign it a Default Page, which is the page that contains the BlogPosts widget for displaying the full Details View of a post. If you delete this page, move the BlogPosts widget to another page, or modify this relationship in any other way, you must […]

One of the biggest annoyances in ASP.NET is the way it adds CSS files to your <head> element of your pages. It insists on adding them to the end, offering you no way to add your own custom styles that override the theme unless you go down the line and add !important to each element. […]
Now that Sitefinity 4 has been out for over a month, the time I have available for maintaining the Sitefinity Toolkit is quickly diminishing. However, I still receive frequent emails asking for help, suggesting new features, or reporting bugs. I’m glad that so many of you continue to find the toolkit useful, and I regret […]
One of my favorite features of the ASP.NET MVC Framework is the ability to include form validation out of the box using Attributes. Marking a Model with the Required attribute and including a few script references enables a built-in framework that validates your forms automatically. However, my ORM tool, SubSonic, by default doesn’t account for […]

I’d also like to thank Darren L for providing the first donation to my studio fund! Because of his kind feedback and donation, I’ll […]
I’d like to apologize for the delay in continuing my Sitefinity Toolkit series. Wednesday I was out sick, and have spent the rest of this week catching up. However I didn’t want the weekend to pass without adding at least something, so here is a quick rundown on using the new Search Index Providers provided […]
One of the best features of Sitefinity is the Events Module. But while you can easily add and categorize events, and even show a nifty interactive map on the event detail page, there isn’t any built-in way to let your visitors add the event to their Outlook calendar. Fortunately, with the help of DDay.iCal Class […]
I realize that in my last post on Forcing Lowercase Urls I said I would be going over the Smooth Menu feature of the Sitefinity Toolkit. However, as I started writing it, I discovered it was a little more complicated than I expected, so I’m going to hold off on that one until I have […]
