Sitefinity 3.7 Ultimate Suite is unleashed!
Sitefinity 3 is now in its 3rd year of production with the latest version at 3.7. Many new features have been added by Sitefinity to cover a broad spectrum of needs.

Orders Module for Sitefinity 3.7 and Paypal
Sitefinity is an excellent content management system, but it is missing one thing that can keep your site running... ordering capability! This is why I have created the Orders Module for Sitefinity which will allow your website to accept orders for products and services in a simple and straightforward manner. It even integrates with Paypal!
As you have probably already seen, Sitefinity has created a sample Products Module which has become a great foundation for developing other modules. I wanted a way to accept orders for these products, so this led me to create an entirely separate module just for orders. This worked out beautifully because now the Orders Module can serve other Generic Content based modules, not just for products. The FormBuilder Module was instrumental in creating this module as well.
Features:
- Dynamically create order forms with validations and unlimited field inputs
- Payment page redirects to your specified check, money order, or bank transfer page
- Optional feature allows you to accept Paypal payments (IPN enabled)!
- Ability to automatically email a payment confirmation message to the buyer
- Merge fields into confirmation emails that are sent out for personalized messages
- Integrated with Products Module!

Events Registration Module for Sitefinity 3.7
The Sitefinity Events Module is great for promoting your events, seminars, fundraisers, and parties. One thing missing is the ability to allow users to register for your events. What would be nice is accepting payments for those registrations too.
Introducing the Events Registration Module for Sitefinity that allows your visitors to register and pay for your events. It is even capable of accepting Paypal payments!
Features:
- Dynamically create registration forms with validations and unlimited field inputs
- Offer multiple ticket types such as general, children, student, etc.
- Expire ticket offerings to provide early bird specials
- Integrated payment tracking and notification system
- Custom confirmation emails for each event
- Reports provide list of events, attendees, and exports

Sitefinity 3.7 Connector for Twitter
Twitter has become a remarkable tool for building your community. Whether this means promoting your products and service, or mobilizing your followers to action, this has made it an ideal solution that cannot be ignored from freelancers to non-profits to enterprises. Who would have thought 140 characters can do so much?! Perhaps the short attention span attributed to fast pacing world may have contributed to the phenomenon.
Having a website is not enough anymore. You must have a blog, news, and even events to keep your visitors coming back for more. So how do you keep up with adding a Twitter to the mix? Well, hitting two birds with one stone of course (one of which being a Twitter bird)! I am going to show how you can merge your existing processes of posting blogs, news, and events with automatically posting to Twitter!
Features:
- Post news, events, and blogs from Sitefinity to Twitter simply by checking off a box!
- Uses the latest, next generation Twitter API
- Uses the highly secured OAuth for authenication

Sitefinity 3.7 Connector for Facebook is here!
Love it, hate it, or mildly tolerate it, you cannot dismiss Facebook's enormous success. Even in markets where it does not dominate the social web, Facebook is catching up and will likely succeed. In other places, it is easy to forget that there was Internet before Facebook.
Many of us have existing websites where we are posting content and notifications already. So how do you merge your existing processes of posting blogs, news, and events with automatically posting to Facebook? Integrating your Sitefinity website to Facebook is now here!
The new Sitefinity Connector integrates your website to Facebook via the next generation of Graph API and OAuth 2.0 protocol.
Features:
- Post news, events, and blogs from Sitefinity to Facebook simply by checking off a box!
- Uses the latest, next generation Facebook Graph API

- Uses the FacebookSharp library

FormBuilder Module for Sitefinity 3.7
FormBuilder is a module-based plugin that allows non-technical administrators to create unlimited forms from their control panel. What really sets this apart from other form builders is the ability to record form submissions into the database. I was able to leverage Sitefinity's clean API by extending the Generic Content module (for storing forms) and the Comments framework (for recording submissions).
While one of the most demanded feature for Sitefinity CMS is the ability for administrators to create forms on-the-fly, there is still no built-in capability of this with the current release (v3.7). Indeed, Sitefinity goes a long way to build a solid foundation to extend functionality, so I took it upon myself to create this feature and share it with the community. Thanks to Steven Webb for the inspiration!

Sitefinity CSS Editor
CSS Editor is an extension that brings the desktop experience of a file explorer to view and modify your Sitefinity files right on the web!
Do you find yourself jumping through FTP or RDP hoops just to make a simple change to a theme? Are you also burden by custom requests to make simple updates to their CSS stylesheets they can do themselves, but accept it because you do not want to give them FTP access to the server?
These are things of the past with CSS Editor! Now you can easily modify files online through your browser. Although I call it a CSS editor, it will allow you modify any type of file you specify, but you will have to turn off page validation because of special characters. That is up to you though!
Features:
- Open, edit, and save files online without FTP or RDP!
- Code syntax highlighting for easier file editing using EditArea
- Allow access to multiple folder paths that you specify
- Restrict to file extensions for even further security
