Howdy y'all! When working in projects based on Optimizely (formerly Episerver) Commerce there is often a need to look deep within the database structure to gather information or troubleshoot issues. Having worked with this structure for the past ten years I feel that I could dump some of the "usual…➦
Hiya! Today's post is about a TIL and a little gotcha I ran into while migrating Commerce properties.
Never seen this exact issue before in my 10 years working with Episerver/Optimizely, so
as a friendly coder, I leave this post for posterity and search engines. The issue rose as I renamed, made…➦
Hi there! I saw Dejan's post on Episerver MVC admin plugins and though that I could just post a thinner version.

while others rely on it being an…➦
Howdy! This week I have been upgrading an older Episerver site from CMS 7.15 to latest and greatest.
Before the actual upgrade work began (or even estimated/pitched to the client) we had dived into the internals
of the application to make sure that we didn't have any big customizations or hacks…➦
Hi there! I'm a poor little Episerver block and I've lost my parent, can you help me? It is another block and for some reason I can't do without it. So the problem here is basically, how do I get the parent block of another block in the block controller/rendering context?
