Update: I filed a bug in the Orchard issue tracker and it’s already been fixed. Nice work! We’ve just started to build our own customized search module. The goal is to have checkboxes for all searchable boolean properties of a given ContentPart and search by checking or unchecking them. In Orcha...

Today I went off to create a custom search module for our new Orchard based web application. I simply copied the module Orchard.Search, renamed all namespaces and such to Teamaton.Search, replaced some strings and prepended a prefix of “Teamaton” to a bunch of them. I wanted the new module to be abl...

On Camping.info, we use flot 0.7 with jQuery and asynchronous updates for internal click statistics visualization.

Lately, we encountered a problem with the speed of our search on www.camping.info for a certain set of search criteria. It sometimes used to take over a few seconds before the updated results were shown. This most likely seemed to be a problem with the database so I went to investigate the offending...

Today I hit a quite subtle bug setting up persistence for our soon-to-appear new todo management tool. Since we’re building on ASP.NET 4 I simply used the ISet<T> and HashSet<T> types in the System.Collections.Generic namespace for all entity collections, e.g. 1: using System.Collecti...

At the beginning of this year bantam was bought by ConstantContact, and they announced that bantam will cease services as of July 1.

For our portal software discoverize I was looking for a way to create new modules faster and more reliably. The basic structure would always be the same, so a Visual Studio multi-file template seemed appropriate: Well, unfortunately I didn’t find a way to create new folders with that approach. Mu...
