Artisteer ASP.NET MVC plugin

If you like it, please share it:

Finally Artisteer invested some time in making they’re designs exportable to more platforms or actually they give you the possiblity to write custom export plugins.

It will be available in version 4.0, that’s still in beta but you could download it and start writing plugins.

Download Artisteer 4.0 Beta
or click the banner below
Artisteer - Web Design Generator

By default you can export your design to Website, Blogger, DotNetNuke, Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, Visual Studio C#.
And plugins for CodeCharge Studio, Weebly, PHP and Moodle are available as well.

Since I’m using Artisteer and ASP.NET MVC for quite some time, I’ve decided to work on the plugin for ASP.NET MVC 3.
After some frustrating days of work, I’ve created the plugin and uploaded it to the Artisteer marketplace (don’t worry it’s free).

After you have installed Artisteer 4.0 (beta), you should be able to install the ASP.NET MVC 3 plugin.

Go to File->Export->More Templates… and you will see something like this:

The plugin will create an ASP.NET MVC3 project that can be opened in Visual Studio 2010.
It’s based on the default ASP.NET MVC3 project template, so there is still quite some work to do for optimization.

In the fututre I will be working on an ASP.NET MVC4 version and add some optimization tweaks (like bundling, using CDN etc.)

If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Wow.. Exactly what I was looking for..

How do you access the market place in Artisteer 4 ? Its not obvious on their website ?

Any chance of doing a tutorial on how your creating the MVC4 plugin ?

I’d like to do an Orchard CMS plugin myself, any tutorials/info would be nice.

The marketplace will probably be available when Artisteer 4 is released.
You could go to http://marketplace.artisteer.com and create an account, but it’s only used for maintaining you own plugins.

And I haven’t planned writing a tutorial for creating a plugin, hopefully the people from Artiseer will do so!

This is very cool. Thanks for doing it. Can you create a post that describes how to update an existing MVC3 website with a new or modified theme? I.e. copy the site.css and files etc.

Upon re-reading, I see that you did mention how to update, cool. I think I found a bug: in BeginArtisteerArticle there should be

{0}

so that the article metadata is styled.

No it’s not. I’m not that familiair with nopCommerce, but I guess they have their own template structure.
But you could write your own plugin :).

The only way is by the marketplace from the Artisteer application (File->Export->Marketplace).

Doesn’t work in Artisteer 4.3, export MVC3 fails. MVC4 plugin won’t download.
