Litium Accelerators is built using the responsive framework
Foundation by Zurb together with the task runner
Grunt.
ValidateAntiForgeryTokenHeader
All controller actions defined to receive HttpPost calls using the HttpPostAttribute should also be decorated with the Litium.Accelerator.Mvc.Attributes.ValidateAntiForgeryTokenHeaderAttribute to disallow Cross Site Request Forgery.
This article describes the basics of sort and filtering of products. The principle is the same for search results, product groups, product sets and products-by-field pages. In Accelerator 3.1 the option to sort and filter on prices was added.
When using filter navigation or price filter in the mega menu the prices are grouped into price groups.
When the price groups are created the Accelerator has a few rules how the rounding should work and also max price choices.
Robots.txt
Robots.txt is used to instruct search crawlers URL or part of URL that they should ignore and not index.
To display customer error pages to show HTTP 500 and HTTP 404 errors, the IErrorPageResolver and IPageNotFoundResolver interfaces are overridden respectively in accelerator code.
Accelerators create the page types and field template definitions using code. The Litium.Studio.Builders namespace has the required interfaces and classes and they are implemented in classes in \Src\Litium.Studio.Accelerator\Definitions\ folder.
This article presents a complete example on how to integrate the accelerator code to an ERP system. In the sample given, sending orders to ERP, checking the order status at ERP and code for getting stock status from ERP is presented. A fake http handler in the sample code simulates the ERP system.
