I got a bug at these two lines:

this.rptNewsList.DataSource = news;
this.rptNewsList.DataBind();

It helped when i put an id to the Repeater.

Dont know if there’s a better way to do this?
Thanks for the tutorial!

Oops, code snippet was removed:
<%= (FeaturedNewsPage != null ? FeaturedNewsPage.LinkURL : string.Empty) %>

I was brushing up on my EPiServer, and running through your tutorial. I really appreciate your work on this.

I found that the FeaturedContentRegion section should check for FeaturedNewsPage being null, and account for that if the FeaturedNews property isn’t assigned. Something like this for each call to a FeaturedNewsPage method:

Unless I missed something else in this tutorial, if FeaturedNewsPage isn’t checked for null, then a runtime error can occur when FeaturedNews is not assigned.

Hi Justin
You’re absolutely correct, should be episerver.config not web.config . Corrected now!

I’ve not come across that error before, I would try reinstalling EPiServer CMS and see if that fixes it.

Hi Frederik,
I am following this tutorial, and when i get to the step where youve created a new page with propertys in the StartPage class file, I then create a new page based on this page type in admin mode. However, you then say to change the pagestartid property in the web.config file to 26 (or whatever id the new page has been given) However I do not have that “pagstartid” line in my web.config file, however I do have it in my episerver.config file! Also, and not entirely sure whether related, but as soon as i complete this step, whenenever I switch pages in edit mode, i get this javascript error message as a pop up:

“Error: The target 'FullRegion$explorerTreeView$treeView' for the callback could not be found or did not implement ICallbackEventHandler.”

the node in the tree view then becomes inactive and I have to refresh the page before the nodes are selectable again.

Have you come across this problem before, if so what is the solution?

[...] In this post we’ll create the sites start page. I’ll show you how to retrieve data from other pages and how we can improve this by using extension methods. Third part is out. [...]

Thanks Steve!
Would be so boring if everyone agrees on everything! .

Great work – again – Frederik!

As for our ongoing discussion about extensions, markup and server controls, I guess it does not come as a surprise that I don’t agree about your last statement on readability of that link. Your extension (with the lamda) is shorter, but not more readable in my opinion.

But I don’t have to agree on everything you write in order to respect the huge amount of work and effort you put into sharing your knowledge. Keep up the good work!

Agree with Allan, keep it up with this good stuff!

I think a download after each part would be great, too!
