Comments on: Add property to multiple page types http://antecknat.se/blog/2008/10/14/add-property-to-multiple-page-types/ A blog about understanding and extending EPiServer Thu, 02 Sep 2010 07:37:26 +0200 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: piquet http://antecknat.se/blog/2008/10/14/add-property-to-multiple-page-types/comment-page-1/#comment-8401 piquet Tue, 11 Aug 2009 02:06:20 +0000 http://antecknat.se/blog/?p=39#comment-8401 Many - too many - months of leaving this aside have finally got around to implementing this. It's excellent. One thing I've found is that when importing pagetypes through devel, test and live systems, new properties do not import over - or in addition to - the existing pagetype's properties. This tool helps with some instances. I've also come across http://blogs.interakting.co.uk/brad/archive/2008/08/21/making-an-episerver-plug-in-copying-episerver-page-type-properties.aspx and implemented it as a plugin. Now, when I have many new properties across multiple pagetypes I make a temporary pagetype - duplicate all the properties I want in to it, then export that pagetype in to my test, then live environments. Again I can then use the temp pagetype to duplicate the required properties to whichever 'real' pagetypes require them. Between both these tools, it saves a lot of mundane work. Thanks.

Otherwise I would recommend the module I've linked in the post called PageTypeUtil, it's has alot of more functions.

Could you explain how to integrate plugin in to our solution - or point me to relevant docs. This looks like something very useful.
