ps-team / CanonicalTagging.cshtml

Created October 27, 2017 09:35

Canonical tags in Razor. I made some changes to point URL's with query strings back at the URL without the QS as this was showing up as duplicated content in GA.

	@using Contensis.Framework.Web
	@using Contensis.Framework.Web.Search
	@using System.Collections
	@using System.Collections.ObjectModel
	@using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
	@{
	if (CurrentNode.Data.Property_SynchronisationSourceMasterContentID >= 0)
	{
	int masterPageContentID = CurrentNode.Data.Property_SynchronisationSourceMasterContentID;
	Node masterPage = null;

ps-team / Email validation.cshtml

Created October 27, 2017 09:34

A re-usable C# function for backend email validation. No need to use long REGEX which, depending on the expression, may not capture all possibilities. The .Net MailAddress class does all this for us, so by sending it a string with an invalid email format, it will error which we can capture and use to dictate what to do next.

	@using System.Net.Mail

	@{
	string email = "[email protected]";

	if(IsValidEmail(email))
	{
	// do something like submit the form and store the data, send an email or w/e
	}
	else
