This module uses `CmsKit` for the connection string name. If you don't define a connection string with this name, it fallbacks to the `Default` connection string.
See the [connection strings](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Connection-Strings) documentation for details.
## Entity Extensions
[Module entity extension](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Module-Entity-Extensions) system is a **high-level** extension system that allows you to **define new properties** for existing entities of the dependent modules. It automatically **adds properties to the entity**, **database**, **HTTP API and user interface** in a single point.
To extend entities of the CMS Kit Pro module, open your `YourProjectNameModuleExtensionConfigurator` class inside of your `DomainShared` project and change the `ConfigureExtraProperties` method like shown below.
```csharp
public static void ConfigureExtraProperties()
{
OneTimeRunner.Run(() =>
{
ObjectExtensionManager.Instance.Modules()
.ConfigureCmsKit(cmsKit =>
{
cmsKit.ConfigureBlog(plan => // extend the Blog entity
property.Attributes.Add(new RequiredAttribute()); //adds required attribute to the defined property
property.Attributes.Add(
new StringLengthAttribute(MyConsts.MaximumDescriptionLength) {
MinimumLength = MyConsts.MinimumDescriptionLength
}
);
//...other configurations for this property
}
);
});
});
});
}
```
* `ConfigureCmsKit(...)` method is used to configure the entities of the CMS Kit module.
* `cmsKit.ConfigureBlog(...)` is used to configure the **Blog** entity of the CMS Kit module. You can add or update your extra properties of the
**Blog** entity.
* `cmsKit.ConfigureBlogPost(...)` is used to configure the **BlogPost** entity of the CMS Kit module. You can add or update your extra properties of the **BlogPost** entity.
* You can also set some validation rules for the property that you defined. In the above sample, `RequiredAttribute` and `StringLengthAttribute` were added for the property named **"BlogPostDescription"**.
* When you define the new property, it will automatically add to **Entity**, **HTTP API** and **UI** for you.
* Once you define a property, it appears in the create and update forms of the related entity.
* New properties also appear in the datatable of the related page.
