EPiServer Integration module intro

2012-04-04

This section will give you a introduction to the SiteSeeker integration module for EPiServer.

The SiteSeeker module is developed with extensibility at the heart of the system.

We have applied the S.O.L.I.D acrynym throughout the the code base of the module.

As you can read in our configuration section its possible to extend our modules with your own implementation of the interface / base class

There is a example of the extension of the the meta data handler here

You can currently extend the following classes:
