Deployment scripts, CMS adventures, and DXP tricks — minus the headache.
As Optimizely Graph makes its global re-debut, it is known that there are going to be some bugs and quirks. One of the current quirks in the system is related to using the Geta Categories Addon, specifically with Faceting.
At Opticon 2022, I was able to get a sneak preview of what was known as the "Product Switcher." As a contractor, we do new implementations, as well as ongoing development updates, for numerous clients at one time. Instead of having to have an endless rolodex of bookmarks full of client environment login URLS, there
This series is to document and share the issues that I have come across while getting my bearings in the new .NET 5/6 + CMS 12 world.

Yesterday (December 8th 2021), Optimizely sneakily released their very first major update for the EpiCloud Powershell Module; Version 1.0.0.
With a new NET 5 project, the first thought that ran through my head was... "How the heck am I going to build/deploy this?!"
Recently was able to start using one of the new .NET5.0/CMS12 DXP instances to do some development in, and I came across an error that threw me for a loop.
There is a query string that will allow you to view your Optimizely DXP Slot with your live slot domain name. I had an idea...CREATE A BOOKMARKLET!
The Optimizely Deployment API has helped immensely, but there has always been something that has plagued me; DOWNLOADING CONTENT/ASSETS LOCALLY.
As I continue to use the Deployment API, I always am looking for new ways to use the commands. In this case, helping us provision a brand new set of DXP environments for a client.
In my previous posts, we went over the deployment process in the Optimizely/EpiServer DXP environment. The first and the second post of the Deployment API series went through the original methods that allow for deployment into the DXP environment. Smooth Deploy is a feature that I have been looking forward to for a long time […]
As of March 29th, Microsoft made the decision to publish new VM's which archived a bunch of Az, Azure, and AzureRM modules.The side effect of this was that when the deployment API scripts were run in Azure DevOps, it would throw an error.
As of Update 357, Optimizely (EpiServer) released Direct Deploy into their Deployment API. This update allows major speed improvements when deploying into the integration environment.

In the current project that I'm on, there was an interesting request that they wanted to use SVG images for some of their things, such as logos and icons. This meant that they needed them rendered using the <Path> DOM element, not as an <Img>. This was a tricky one and there wasn't very much
In my previous posts, we went over the deployment process in the EpiServer DXP environment. The first post went through the original methods that allow for deployment into the DXP environment. The second post went through update 313, which was a massive deployment API update, as well as how to use the API to export an environmental database, and how to sync down environments.
In my last-post, we went over the deployment process in the EpiServer DXP environment. I mentioned that the next post would be related to using this within Azure DevOps, but I need to make a slight adjustment based on today's update. As of today (4/27/2020), EpiServer released their weekly update #313, which included a lot
In late-2019, EpiServer released one of their Beta programs, which would allow partners and developers the ability to control the DXP environment deployments via an API. There have been a few blog posts (like this one by Anders Wahlqvist) on how to use these APIs in one-off instances, but none in how to make these
