  • Mike Wills
  • Jan 13, 2021

  Kentico Xperience 13 is among the first CMS platforms to adopt .NET Core. In version 13, websites are built using Core, but the CMS application is still on ASP.NET Web Forms. Because of this, developing code that is shared between the applications can be awkward.

  Improve Content Authoring with Kentico Xperience’s Robust API

  • Mike Wills
  • Nov 19, 2020

  A user experience challenge arises in Kentico Xperience from using inherited page types because most field properties can only be set in the base page type. Xperience allows you to configure most field properties in alternative forms. Unfortunately, when using alternative forms to override the settings of inherited fields, you can't make only one alternative form. You must create an alternative form for each edit mode – that is an alternative form for “update”, “insert”, and “newculture”.  This solution often becomes too much overhead. Instead, BlueModus’ Director of Development and Kentico MVP, Mike Wills recommends looking to Xperience’s robust API to solve the user challenge.
