Umbraco debugging made easy

Christian Palm — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 16:10:00 GMT

This post will show you how to debug umbraco macros, with the click of a browser button. The trick is to make some favorite links in your browser containing javascript appending the umbraco debug querystring to the current page in browser. This is called bookmarklets.

Umbraco documentation generated by Sandcastle

I am pleased to announce the first draft of the automated documentation generated by Sandcastle from Microsoft. You can now easily see what kind of library methods you can use in your xslt.

Umbraco, What’s up! Volume 1

Christian Palm — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 21:49:00 GMT

It can be difficult to keep updated on Umbraco. So many things are happening.
Because of this situation, I have written some internal newsletters at work about Umbraco for project managers and developers to keep my colleges updated on Umbraco. And why not share this info with the Umbraco community.

I will try to summarize what I have noticed on the Umbraco scene the last couple of months. Most of the text is coming from the newsletters at work.

Hope you will enjoy it.

MultipleMediaPickerViaSource

Jonathan kindly asked me how to extend/change the MultiplePagePickerViaSource, he wanted everything the same way, except media files instead of pages listed. After some mailing with Jonathan, I thought to myself "it should take longer than 3 minutes to do that", and it actually didn't took longer than 3 minutes of coding :-)

Ajax and umbraco

Christian Palm — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 22:53:00 GMT

Since my last post "Please make a comment" some people have asked how did you do that, and on the forum/mailinglist people are asking about ajax and umbraco in general. I will try give a quick overview how I use ajax to create comments on my blog posts

Umbraco RSS package

Christian Palm — Tue, 06 Jun 2006 23:46:00 GMT

I have updated the Umbraco RSS package with new functionality. Niels originally developed the RSS extension to umbraco with the help from the Raccoom rss generator. It was later nicely "packed" into an umbraco package by Per from netMedia.dk so it is easy to install into umbraco.

Flash and Umbraco package

Christian Palm — Sun, 04 Jun 2006 21:49:00 GMT

As promised on the CodeGarden 06 conference I have created an umbraco package containing all files needed to run my presentation.

In my presentation I showed a flash image gallery where pictures are stored in umbraco and a how to build a flash website where all site structure and content are stored in umbraco.

It's alive

Well, my blog was down for some time - but it is up and running again.
The website is know running umbraco CMS and not WordPress blog engine any more.

The last week have been quite hectic with integrating tinyMCE wysiwg into umbraco 3 (Alpha), preparing presentation on Flash and Umbraco, and last not least the actuel CodeGarden 06 conference where I got to talk a lot of bad English :-)

As promised to a lot of people, I will try to release a umbraco package within the next couple of days with all the flash presentation (xslt, document types, templates, swf and the fla's files) so you can get up and running with flash gallery's and a simple flash website in a breeze.

MultiplePagePickerViaSource

Christian Palm — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 21:27:00 GMT

I have created a new Data Type to use in umbraco, different people on the umbraco mailing list requested this kind of Data Type. I use this a Data Type like this on a regularly basis and with big pleasure in Sitecore CMS, therefore it was naturally for me to make this to umbraco.

TinyMCE in Umbraco

Christian Palm — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 19:13:00 GMT

A, B, C, D - After FCKeditor comes TinyMCE. Last month I did a fast implementation of FCKeditor in Umbraco now it’s time for an even faster implementation of TinyMCE in Umbraco.

FCKeditor in Umbraco

Christian Palm — Sun, 22 Jan 2006 21:00:00 GMT

I have done a fast implementation of the rather cool WYSIWYG editor in Umbraco. The main goels of this fast implementation is that you can compare FCKeditor to the Umbraco default WYSIWYGand TinyMCE editor.

Hi World!
