Don't you love it, when a tool/module helps you solve a simple problem - but is missing some trivial features. And to work around these limitations, you end up spending 3x more time, then if you had just created the whole functionality yourself. That is DAFT. Enter the Don't be DAFT pattern. 

Angular 2 was released in September 2016, so you may wonder why little has been posted in the DNN Ecosystem. We're still waiting for something - here's a status update.

Let's learn to create a Very-Rich-Text field which let's editors add apps and content-blocks to their WYSIWYG.

We just released 2sxc 8.9 with 3 important features: Very Rich Text (Inner Content 2), Item-Delete toolbar button and page-bottom client-dependency.

Mobile web sites have a strong need for content which collapses to form its own table of contents. This is now very easy with the accordion-app, which shows any kind of content-block or app inside its inner content. 

We've been investing some research into simple, effective performance improvements. One of our favorite is a powerfull 5-minute web.config patch to enhance caching, which works great both with and without CDNs like CloudFlare.

Just a short release note: 8.7 is now out and includes quickE 2.0 (quick edit) + 20+ enhancements.

With quickE 2 we can also move and delete dnn-modules directly from the preview-mode, which is 10x faster. And it works with touch, is configurable and way more. 

ICATT released an open source solution-template for magazine sites with content-types, templates and themes. It looks awesome and uses DNN and 2sxc. A quick declaration of love...

2sxc 8.6 brings large improvements on the in-page toolbar and the APIs to customize it as you need it. Create custom toolbars, change alignments, create custom buttons or create action-links without the toolbar. Here's what's new:

2sxc 8.6 provides various small enhancements which make content editing more fun.

2sxc 8.6 contains a large refactoring of the in-page toolbar, massively improving the work flow for developers and designer. Here's what's new.

Sometimes you want to have edit-buttons or "change-layout" buttons which don't look like 2sxc-toolbars. For example in tables showing many items, on JavaScript SPAs or when creating a dashboard-style interface which is simply different. This is now easy...

Sometimes you want to provide custom features in a 2sxc-app, but visualize them just like a 2sxc-toolbar. Here's how.

Maybe you want to hover the toolbar on the left side, or you want to align the "..." more button differently. Maybe you need LTR-support, or you just want to add custom CSS classes. Here's how. 

Our newest revolution (yes, that means turning...) on 2sxc is shake support to show in-page editing buttons. Shake it!

We just released a brand new set of content templates, optimized for Bootstrap 3 themes (skins). Now, both layout and content look great!

Every portal has it's own configuration of content-types and designed templates, but most people will start with a standard set. Here's what's happening when you auto-configure your Content. 

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.

We all love github and want to version our work and our apps with it. But usually the database is missing, which means that both schema, configuration and demo-data aren't in the versioning. Now we can do it - here's how...

Many cool visualizations run in JavaScript, so your scripts must be able to get the content-items as JSON. Here are the 4 most important ways to do it. 

Angular 2 is officially stable and out. Here's what you need to know, if you want to get started immediately with Angular2 and DNN or 2sxc.
