"OrderNumber" has a value... however, "orderNumber" does not.

Try that :)

this is the request from the chrome debug:

{"id":"32d94559-5151-4ac5-9beb-385307258d45","content":"<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">×–×”×• ×“×£ ×—×“×© ×œ×“×•×’×ž× ×©×œ ×”×–×–×ª ×“×¤×™× ×‘×‘×œ×•×’</span></p>","title":"×“×£ ×œ×“×•×’×ž×”","description":"","OrderNumber":"0","keywords":"","slug":"×“×£-×œ×“×•×’×ž×","isFrontPage":false,"showInList":true,"isPublished":true,"parent":"-- No parent --"}

it seems that OrderNumber has a value after all, where else can I look to find the issue?

New Post: theme in SQL

yzidell — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 02:21:25 GMT

where is the theme stored in SQL?

I changed the theme to Boldy, and when I click on Log In, nothing happens.

I would like to manually change the theme back to standard

Thanks

thanks!

I was only getting 72/100, but then I added the following to the web.config, and that raised the score by about 10:

<staticContent>
      <clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="365.00:00:00" />
      <remove fileExtension=".mp4" />
      <remove fileExtension=".gif" />
      <remove fileExtension=".htm" />
      <remove fileExtension=".html" />
      <remove fileExtension=".jpeg" />
      <remove fileExtension=".jpg" />
      <remove fileExtension=".js" />
      <remove fileExtension=".png" />
      <remove fileExtension=".txt" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".mp4" mimeType="video/mp4" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".gif" mimeType="image/gif" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".htm" mimeType="text/html" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".html" mimeType="text/html" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".jpeg" mimeType="image/jpeg" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".jpg" mimeType="image/jpeg" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".js" mimeType="application/x-javascript" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".png" mimeType="image/png" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".txt" mimeType="text/plain" />
    </staticContent>

Since you guys already had a score in the 80s (or 90s), I'm guessing that these settings were already enabled on your web servers.

I was unable to use gzip properly using my shared hosting plan (I'm starting to think its not even installed). However, I got around that issue by passing scripts via tha js.axd handler that comes with blog engine. So, for example, I changed the following:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/myuploads/autocomplete.js"></script>

to:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/js.axd?path=%2fmyuploads%2fautocomplete.js&minify="></script>

and that compressed my script and raised the score a little bit.

Also, I've noticed that the web method of getting the score doesn't always change (it appears to use a cache or some sorts), while the scores in the google and firebug dev tools update as soon as I make the changes on my site.

Here's whats left on what needs to be compressed:

Compressing the following resources with gzip could reduce their transfer size by 39.7KiB (73% reduction).

Compressing http://standard.kbdavis07.info/res--766306111.js.axd could save 21.4KiB (75% reduction).
Compressing http://standard.kbdavis07.info/Styles/css could save 9.4KiB (73% reduction).
Compressing http://standard.kbdavis07.info/Scripts/js could save 8.6KiB (69% reduction).
Compressing http://standard.kbdavis07.info/en-us.res.axd could save 326B (44% reduction).

The main issue now is how to enable Gzip on shared hosting servers with only application level settings in the web.config file.

I been experimenting with different settings and so far no luck on that end.

But, I found out if you use the CDN

https://www.cloudflare.com

It increases the Page Speed greatly.

Its now at:

Page Speed Score of 95 (out of 100)

My other website:

kbdavis07.info

Using BE 2.5.0.15 gets the following:

Page Speed Score of 93 (out of 100)

So with the newest change set it adds +2 points

Also I notice a big different in results from the online speed test

https://developers.google.com/pagespeed/

The FireBug Plugin

http://getfirebug.com/

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/?src=search

for FireFox results

In those results the kbdavis07.info gets (91/100)

standard.kbdavis07.info gets (87/100)

So the issue now with BE is the server side settings and not BE itself.

Would be nice to figure out an universal web.config settings that would work on the most restrictive web servers (Shared Hosting) that

would enable Gzip.

This way when users upload BE to their servers there is no need for them to mess around with it to get the best PageSpeed and load performance.

Just Upload and Go :)

But, until we can find that solution users can

1. Use https://www.cloudflare.com

2. Configure their own servers to use Gzip

If anyone has any questions about using https://www.cloudflare.com please let me know.

If anyone figures out how to enable Gzip using only the web.config settings please let us know here :)

Thanks for all of the BE Developers on their great work on BE so far!!!!

BE has came along way from BE 2.5.0.0 release to the current change set.

Thanks,

Brian Davis

Well I guess my question, and partially kbdavis07's as well, is what's the best configuration for IIS? I know it's dependent on the server and if it's shared hosting or not, but I'm scoring an 86/100 on the 2.5.0.6 release while kbdavis07 is scoring 70/100 on the latest change set that you scored 100/100. Is there a "baseline optimization" that should be done to IIS 7.5 if users have access to it and can tweak it?

Check this thread, may be there something related to your case.

New Post: Default.cshtml - error 404

yzidell — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 20:48:25 GMT

The cshtml pages in the Admin section are giving me "404" errors while the Blog seem to work ok

The pages are :

/admin/default.cshtml

/admin/Extensions/default.cshtml

/admin/Settings/Themes.cshtml

I am running windows 2003 IIS6 I have .net 4 installed - the blog works fine and all .aspx pages in the admin come up fine

I also installed MVC3 but i am still having a problem with .cshtml pages.

Thanks

There is a fork pending with this implementation (look under source code/pull requests). I imagine it will require significant time to verify this works across many scenarios. If someone wants to merge this fork with current build and give it a good run - that would be helpful.

Take a look at this video - that's pretty much same I did with BE, on both pagespeed and yslow. Problem with online test is that you might run into restrictions with your provider, for example mine won't let me turn on "keep alive" and it costs plenty of points. Others can run into different issues, depending on what IIS they use and how it configured.
