📰 Skrift Issue #103 Featuring guest posts by Jen Wolke on "Ten Commandments for Building a Website Using a CMS" and Aaron Sadler on "Automatically Creating Thumbnail PDFs in Umbraco"
📰 Umbraco 14 - "Authing" your extensions. The Umbraco Early Adopters series discussed improving Front->Backend Authentication in Umbraco 14. In this post we look at an alternative solution adding authentication code to the entry point for a neater and more efficient implementation.
📰 Onwards to Umbraco 13 and Linux – Part 1 In 2022, I upgraded my project site to Umbraco 10 on .net 6.0 and now to Umbraco 13 on .net 8.0, while also migrating to Linux hosting and improving sustainability and performance. The upgrade involved challenges with database migration, custom functionality, and UI adjustments.
📰 Migrating Umbraco Forms from 7 to modern To migrate forms from Umbraco 7 to modern, use uSync.Forms and a trick to go from 7 to 8, then 8 to modern. Copy files, run a PowerShell script, and import in the modern site.
