I want to find out if it's possible to configure Sitecore's Lucene search engine to index PDF or Word documents? I've looked on the Sitecore support site at this document ( http://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sitecore6/65/sitecore_search_and_indexing_sc60-65-a4.pdf ) but it mentions creating a file crawler class which suggests to me that it's only possible to achieve this by writing custom code. If I do need to write custom code to do this, would I also need to have some API in order to extract the text content from PDF documents? Arnold Zokas I've recently had to do something similar on one of my

The scenario is that I have a lot of FieldRenderers. These should output data from various places, some from item X and others from item Y. And should be outputting properties from item Z. Assuming I have a public property ItemX that I want to output a property from, any of the following would be OK. But I get no output by any of them: <sc:FieldRenderer runat="server" FieldName="Logo" DataSource="<%# ItemX %>" /> <sc:FieldRenderer runat="server" FieldName="Logo" DataSource="<%= ItemX.Paths.FullPath %>" /> <sc:FieldRenderer runat="server" FieldName="Logo" Item="<%# ItemX %>" /> <sc

In my business, I am working on Unit Testing, after finishing an example in a .NET application. We want to use a standard .NET Unit Testing project. We also want to mock the Sitecore data by serializing the Sitecore objects. I have been looking for, but could not find a good tutorial to do this. How can I do this? Interesting videos on Youtube Sitecore Unit Testing video by gravypower. Another interesting video by codeflood. Most knowledgeable for me was this video by Alistair Deneys from Hedgehog Other interesting blogs are Igloo - Unit Testing for Sitecore iStern - Unit testing with Sitecore

We are experiencing cpu problems on our production servers. After profiling with the jetbrains cpu profiler, we have noticed that some functions in the assembly Sitecore.Analytics were executed. This is somewhat strange because we have disabled all analytics related configuration in de config files. After looking into the /sitecore/admin/showconfig.aspx we noticed that there are still a lot of Sitecore.Analytics related configurations in this config while these are deactivated in our config files. For example In the file /App_Config/Include/EventHandlers.config the configuration looks like

Does anyone have experience in setting the __Renderings field in Sitecore to not be shared? We are building a multi site-multi language solution and would need the (sub)layouts to be different in different languages. For example, the English language site could have a sublayout that the Swedish version of the same item does not have and all presentation components does not always have the same data source for different languages. A somewhat easy solution to this would be to simply uncheck "shared" on __Renderings field in the /sitecore/templates/System/Templates/Sections/Layout template , but

I have to use Sitecore 6.5 with MVC framework and as per the reference document I can setup Sitecore and make that running. I have created MVC3 .NET web application project (blank and using Razor) and I dot know following things How do I setup Layouts and Sublayouts? (this must be different then web form I guess) What do I have to do to use Sitecore data controls e.g. FieldRenderer, Text etc. (I guess without those controls it will be not easy for us to use provide Page Editing mode) How do I use Sitecore placeholders in MVC? I have used this document as a reference. At present Sitecore MVC

I'm running a scheduled publish of my Sitecore master DB using the Sitecore publishing API. I call a web service at scheduled intervals during the day which runs the following code (slightly condensed for readability): // grab the root content node from sitecore Item contentNode = dbSource.Items[ID.Parse("{0DE95AE4-41AB-4D01-9EB0-67441B7C2450}")]; PublishOptions options = new PublishOptions(sourceDatabase, targetDatabase, PublishMode.Smart, lang, DateTime.Now); options.RootItem = contentNode; options.Deep = true; Publisher p = new Publisher(options); p.PublishAsync(); When we run the above

We are using WFFM for our landing pages creation. It is very easy for our marketing guys to use that. Now, we are looking at customizing them. For instance, we have the following requirement. On our form, we display country of residence, but when you select some countries, we want to display one more dropdown called state/province with the states. When user selects other countries, we have to hide the state/provice field. I am banging my head, how can I start implementing this. Can anyone of you guide me, how to proceed? Try the following: Create a DropList field on your form in Sitecore Add
