This post is part of a series. In the previous article I explained what ViewModels are and why they are useful. I imagine you are all excited about this, so let’s see how you can create your own ViewModels in a few minutes!

ViewModels in DD4T 2.0
One of the most useful novelties in DD4T 2.0 are the ViewModels. A ViewModel is a simple class, normally consisting only of properties, which is handed over to a view for rendering.
In this small series – published daily until Christmas – I will explain what view models are, how you create them and how you can use them.
Claim names and URIs
SDL’s documentation contains a list of so-called default claims. These are ambient claims (factoids about the site visitor) which are automatically set by the Ambient Data Framework, even if you don’t have any cartridges installed. You can find the list here: http://docs.sdl.com/LiveContent/content/en-US/SDL%20Tridion%20full%20documentation-v1/GUID-66EDBEF0-FA3D-4B40-A8DB-7A2C7789C903.

DD4T GUI extension updated for Tridion 2013
A while ago I wrote a post about link resolving with DD4T, introducing a GUI extension which allows you to determine which links are followed when a page or component presentation is rendered, and which links aren’t. Unfortunately, the first release of this GUI extension didn’t work with SDL Tridion 2013.
I finally found some time to fix this. To try it out yourself, download trivident.dd4t.editor 1.0.1 and follow the instructions in the README.txt. To view the source code, see https://github.com/trivident/dd4t-editor.
