	Me.TitleBar = variable("MD_AlternativeTitle")
	end if

ps-team / Localisation part 1 - get all nodes in current language.cshtml

Created October 27, 2017 09:40

Localisation - using localisation in Contensis razorviews - In razor we can access the current pages' language folder and then use that to look-up all nodes in the CMS that are in that language. So for example, we can use this to build a custom search results razorview, which is language specific. Or we can build up a more specific search query …

	@using System.Collections.ObjectModel
	@using Contensis.Framework.Web
	@using Contensis.Framework.Web.Search

	@{

	@*
	- assuming the site structure has been setup so that all content for each language
	- is contained in a language folder that sits under the website root, we target the
	- current pages' language folder and create a dynamic path variable which we tie into

ps-team / RemoveShippedjQueryVersion.vbs

Created October 27, 2017 09:42

Oh, man. This is horrible. But sometimes needed in older versions where you can't remove jQuery due to a control rendering it out. Honestly, don't use this.

	'Jquery reference code
	Dim js = From file In Javascript.Files
	Where file.Key = "jquery"

	if js.count > 0 then
	Javascript.Files.Remove(js.First())
	end if

	Javascript.Files.Insert(0, New CMS_API.Utilities.Javascript.UrlJavascriptFileReference("/SiteElements/Scripts/jquery.js"))

ps-team / Validating Meta Data variable assignments.cshtml

Created October 27, 2017 09:48

Smarter variable assignment of Meta Data to prevent Razorviews from potentially falling over

	@using Contensis.Framework.Web

	@{

	@*
	- Sometimes meta data does not always become instantly available when building/previewing templates/pages,
	- or if the preview database is cleared and is in the process of rebuilding itself.
	-
	- Depending on how you access the meta data, this can cause a razorview to fall over:
	- ERROR: 'Cannot perform runtime binding on a null reference'
