2sxc App vs. 2sxc Content - Which One Should I use?

Sep 29 2016 - DNN is 2SXC - Daniel Mettler

Technically both the App and the Content module could be used for the same things - but you shouldn't, because they behave differently and provide a different UX. Here's an overview.

May the 4th be with you again - presenting the DNN Blog App

May 04 2016 - DNN is 2SXC - Daniel Mettler

We are proud to announce (again on international star-wars day) the Blog App. It's pretty cool, and the best thing is that you can mix it with other apps, or just change it to be anything you want.

Create a disqus App for DNN in 5 minutes

Dec 04 2015 - DNN is 2SXC - Daniel Mettler

What I really, really love about 2sxc is they way you can leverage existing tools and integrate them into DNN in minutes. Here's what I just did with the disqus service…

Tutorial: Learn to create a News-App within minutes using Safe, Token-based Development (with Video)

Jun 08 2015 - DNN is 2SXC - Daniel Mettler

DNN (without 2sxc) is a bit scary for non-developers - because whenever you read tutorials you end up thinking that Visual Studio is the way to go, that you must use C#, and that anything you develop like that won't work in the near future. Which is kind of correct...

So I created a short video showing how to create any kind of App - in this case a News-App - using just [Token]-templates, a few views and more. Simple, future-proof, web-designer-optimized. Have fun, try it out, enjoy.

WebAPI 2.6 Debugging WebAPI using Fiddler and F12

Jan 16 2015 - DNN is 2SXC - Daniel Mettler

Since the WebAPI is usually invisible and doesn't have a real output-page it’s a bit harder to debug. What makes things even more difficult is the fact that DNN doesn't log WebAPI errors (it should, but that's a pending issue). So I'll show you the most important tools to help you get started.

WebAPI 2.5 Routing or "How does the API-URL end up talking to this WebAPI-Code"

Jan 15 2015 - DNN is 2SXC - Daniel Mettler

In this post I would like to help you understand what happens between the sheets - mostly from the moment the web server receives the request up to the moment where your code (your C# class) gets to do something.

WebAPI 2.4 Special Security Features

Jan 14 2015 - DNN is 2SXC - Daniel Mettler

In my second mini-series about WebAPI we'll look at a real-life solution. We've already looked at HTTP-Verbs, Server- and Client-Controllers. Now we'll look at some DNN-Specials mostly related to security.

WebAPI 2.3 Understanding HTTP Get, Post and Delete

Jan 13 2015 - DNN is 2SXC - Daniel Mettler

In my second mini-series about WebAPI we'll look at a real-life solution. Now we'll look the HTTP-part of this, and why you should use Get, Post and Delete HTTP-verbs to really show what you're intending to do.
