Page Type Builder 1.0 Released!

Posted August 24 2009 in EPiServer CMS . 6 comments.

I just released version 1.0 of Page Type Builder. Go and grab it here!

This release contains a few fixes and tweaks, many thanks to Henrik Nyström. It also features the ability to disable page type updation through configuration which can come in handy when working in a large project with many developers as well as in other situations.

Do disable page type updation insert a config section of type PageTypeBuilder.Configuration.PageTypeBuilderConfiguration into your web.config and set the disablePageTypeUpdation to true, like this:

<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="pageTypeBuilder"
type="PageTypeBuilder.Configuration.PageTypeBuilderConfiguration,
PageTypeBuilder"/>
  </configSections>
    <pageTypeBuilder disablePageTypeUpdation="true" />
</configuration>

I’ll soon post a tutorial on how to work with Page Type Builder and I will also be speaking on that subject at the EPiServer developer meeting in Stockholm tomorrow night.

Thanks to everyone who have helped out with the project so far! Especially Daniel Rodin and Crisitan Libardo whose help and ideas have been invaluable!

    I think people - slowly but surely - will start to realize just what kind of impact this approach can have on EPiServer development. Truly amazing work, Joel! Looking forward to your presentation tomorrow at the developer meetup!

    Amazing work. I will never start a new EPiServer-project without PTB, never ever! :) Looking forward to hear your presentation tonight.

    Great work, Joel! Coding in EPiServer has become so much more intuitive and fun with the advent of PageType builder. Keep up the good work! :-)
