Just released 2sxc 8.12 with various minor enhancements.

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

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. 

The new 2sxc offers many long awaited highlights and settings, incl. button-configuration on hyperlink (hide adam, show pages), many operations on the value filter (contains, between, etc.) and more.

Sometimes you want to leverage 2sxc to create a solution, provide data input etc. but want to output or re-use the data in your own Module, Skin, Script or something else. This is easy to do.

Translating 2sxc into any language takes less than an hour. So we're asking you to help us go beyond the 5 languages we have so far. Please help!

Since 2sxc 8.4 you can create content-blocks inside other content blocks. This allows you to create list/details scenarios and still use designed 2sxc-content block or even gallery apps inside the details-page. 

Providing content-editors with icon-pickers helps create awesome content. Use it to create designed tiles showing features or linking pages, or to spice up any kind of content. 

We believe that content management must be easy, slick and cool. A core factor to achieve that is a fast UI - in our vision, interactions should take less than 1 second. So we call it the 1-2nd vision. We've already achieved much using AJAX, angular-js, drag-and-drop upload and more. Now in 2sxc 8.4 we're introducing quick-insert / quick-edit, which allows inserting content and app modules in less than 1 second. 

2sxc 8.4 brings many new features and fixes various long-term issues. Here's a quick overview.

If you had installed 2sxc on Azure using Azure SQL 11 and now want to Migrate to SQL 12 you'll run into a strange issue. Here's why, and how to fix it. 

When we create apps like blogs, articles or news we often need to generate a nice, SEO-style path for the details page, which should contain the title. This looks easy - I spent over a day on this simple challenge, and would like to share what I worked out…

Today we're releasing the pre-version of 2sxc 8.3. It has some advanced new features which also required us to clean up some internal code. So if you were using inofficial APIs (which you shouldn't), this make be a breaking change for you. 

2sxc 8.2 was released and is now through with the first round of hot-fixes. Time to tell you what's new :)

Content Management has some unique challenges which are very different from working with data. One of these is how a module knows which content to show. 2sxc has various features, here I'll provide you a deeper understanding to help you create advanced solutions.

The User Experience for designers, developers and data-modelers has just been improved by factor 3 in 2sxc 8.1. Now both the template-code and the current content-type are just a click away, and highly optimized. You want to loop through all the items of a list? The code-snippet is already waiting for you - prefilled with the correct variable names. 

Announcing 2sxc 8.1 which has best-in-industry WYSIWYG experience (incl. drag-drop image and document-upload), a template editor with Sherlock-Snippets, ADAM 1.2 with file and folder metadata and more. 

Dynamic Content-Types are extremely flexible. In advanced scenarios you want to share ONE type definition across multiple portals or apps - for example when many sub-portals have a similar setup. 2sxc has supported this since version 5 and in 8.1 there is finally a web-UI to do this. 

2sxc is all about solving common content and web tasks quickly and efficiencly. Because of this we're enhancing the in-page toolbar with advanced features (only visible for users with elevated permissions). Let's discover...

The newest version of ADAM (Automatic Digital Assets Manager) lets you group files (often images) into folder (like albums) and also lets you add custom metadata like author, title, description and much more. Adding assets to a content-item just got 10x more powerful.

After evaluating over 50 editors and deciding to give TinyMCE a try, it's time to integrate it into 2sxc as a replacement for Telerik. Turned out to be easier than I thought…

So after extensive evaluation (parts 1, 2 and 3) and basic integration and design (part 4) it was time for some advanced issues. In this case, DNN integration.
