Relationships Extended for MVC (Formerly RelationshipsExtendedMVCHelper)

The RelationshipsExtended for MVC module comes with a helper class that allows you to easily query for Category and object Bindings, automatically handling various transformations and checks. It also contains the TreeCategoryInfo and TreeCategoryInfoProvider, and Event Hooks to properly handle events if derived in the MVC application.

Installation

This tool requires you to set the IRelationshipsExtendedHelper interface.

If your Kentico MVC Site is using .Net Core, use the following in your Startup's ConfigureService: services.AddSingleton(typeof(IRelationshipExtendedHelper), typeof(RelationshipsExtendedHelper));
