Hello
Is there any documentation on how to implement a base page in Sitefinity 4.2? I can't find any reference to it beyond the release notes.
Thanks
Ryan

I've experimented with this a bit myself, and it was pretty straightforward.

Simply create a class that inherits from Page:

namespace SitefinityWebApp.Pages

public class BasePageClass : Page

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

// do stuff!

Then in Sitefinity, open the Title and Properties for the page you want to set the base and at the bottom input that base page class (be sure to include the full namespace).

See the attached screenshot for how I did it.

Currently you need to set it per page, but I believe a global base page is in the works for a future release. I'll send your feedback to the documentation team so that we can include this in the developer manual.

Hope this was helpful!
