Handle children with Action window plugin

2012-05-11 in CMS / CRM, EPiServer, EPiServer 6, Plugins | No comments

Every now and then I bump in to a “problem” where I have to delete children from a node or copy/move children from one node to another. The first time I ran into this problem, I made a gui plugin for the action window to solve this for me. And now, a few years later, I thought that it might be nice to share it. :)

The plugin can also be useful when you have a large recycle bin that can’t be emptied. The you can delete a few pages at a time.

The plugin is really simple. You choose source node, destination node (if needed) and if you are deleting pages, you can choose how many pages you want to keep. If you choose “Count” you will also see how many descendants the page has.

Btw, when deleting, we’re starting with the page at the bottom of the page list.

Updated: 2011-09-21, Lee Crowe has updated this plugin. Please check out his blog post: Introducing Page Type Builder UI

Using PageTypeBuilder when creating EPiServer web sites?

Then you’re probably aware of when removing properties in code, they won’t change in EPiServer. Same thing when changing a property type in PTB, it won’t change in EPiServer.

In larger projects with a lot of inheritance between page types this can be really annoying, going through all page types and remove/change properties. So I created a plugin that displays miss matches between EPiServer and PTB-properties. In the plugin you can also delete unwanted properties, but for now you can’t convert them to another property type.

The plugin will appear in admin-mode:

And looks something like this.

Don’t forget to put the plugin in a secured folder (or remove it in production environment).

This plugin is tested with EPiServer CMS 6 and Page Type Builder 1.3.

Update

Fixed a bug reported at the code section and also added a link to the page type, and also added a link to edit the property if there was a mismatch.

Add property to multiple page types

2008-10-14 in Plugins | 8 comments

How fun is it when you realize that you have to add a property to 20 different page types?
Been there done that. So today when I realized that I had to do it again I wrote an admin plugin instead.

With this plugin you can create a new property just like you do in EPiServer, and then you select wich PageTypes the property should be saved to.

If a Property with the same name already exists it will leave the old one.

This Plugin has only been tested with EPiServer CMS R2, but I think it’ll work with any CMS5 releases.

If you are interested in a plugin like this to EPiServer 4, then you should check out PageTypeUtil on EPiCode.
