Hi everybody,
I though I’d share with you some tips about how to optimize the performance of your search index. This tip is about “Total” and “TotalFormatted” tags and when you should (and when you shouldn’t) use them.

Hi everybody,
I’ve been working on an issue with our product catalog where the paging was messed up if you select “Group by main product” under the “Advanced searching” on the paragraph settings. I’ve come up with rather generic solution so I thought it will be a good idea to share my results with you guys. In short, there’s now a new functionality that allows you to apply manual filtering to your search results after they’re retrieved from the search index but before they’re converted to the actual products.

Hi everybody,
I’m excited to announce that Dynamicweb Software is now on GitHub: github.com/dynamicweb. Personally, I’m very glad because I have quite some stuff that can be published (not all of it, of course, only things that actually add value to a product). I’ve already published the frontend developer toolbar (more info here: Introducing frontend developer toolbar), more things to come.
Looking forward to your pull requests!
Hi all,
Today one of my colleagues asked me to clarify the situation regarding cookies in Dynamicweb 7.2: what cookies does Dynamicweb set, what they’re used for and what is the expiration time for each cookie. The original question came from the customer who apparently was preparing his website to be compliant with the new EU cookie law (you can read more about the law itself and how it affects the websites here: EU Cookie Law).
So I decided to prepare a small document containing information on each and every cookie Dynamicweb 7.2 gives to the visitors. You can download the document (PDF) from here: Dynamicweb 7.2 cookies.
I will probably make similar document for Dynamicweb 8.x. Will keep you updated.
Take care.
Hi everybody,
This post is dedicated to a small script that I wrote in my free time. The script organizes and presents in a nice way various debug information that you can output on your Dynamicweb pages.
Update: The source code of the frontend developer toolbar is now hosted in GitHub.

Hi everybody,
This time I would like to tell you about the new “Did you mean” functionality that we recently incorporated into our “Product Search, Extended” module. This functionality allows displaying search query suggestions by correcting the misspelled keywords according to the information available in the search index. This will become available with Dynamicweb 8.1 (release is scheduled for May, 2012).

Hi everybody,
We have made a lot of small and medium improvements recently in our “Product Search, Extended” module (aka, filtered search). In this post I will tell you about all those improvements. Note that it’s Dynamicweb 8.1 (to be released in May, 2012) where you will be able to use the functionality that I’m going to cover.

Hi everybody,
It has been a loooooong time since I posted something on this blog. That is because we had a pretty strict deadline on releasing the 8.0 RTM (December 15th) so I didn’t really have time to publish anything (neither here nor on the developer forum). But, as you probably already know we made it in time and Dynamicweb 8.0 RTM has seen the light and you can download it from here. Champagne!

Hi everybody,
It has been quite a while since I posted anything here last time. But this only means that I have a lot of work these days (by saying “a lot of work” I mean a lot of new exciting projects).
In this short blog post I’ll try to briefly tell you about all the major components that we will release with Dynamicweb 8.0.
