I know that Lucene indexes cannot be shared: Sitecore keeps a local copy of the Lucene index in the file system of each instance and does not support sharing the indexes between instances. Is it possible to xcopy Lucene indexes between CM and CD? Is there some other approach or recommendation to maintain a indexes in 30+ content delivery servers ? Update: I’m fully aware that CDs must kick off their own index update. With over 30 CD servers I’m thinking that maybe there will be a period of time that not all CD server have the same set of indexes. I’m afraid that for some reason the indexes

Is there a way that I can programmatically approve a content item in Sitecore? Here's what you might want to do. Setup a checkbox per site that will allow admins to chose whether they want to use Awaiting Approval or not. An admin will simply check a checkbox to Skip Approval (Draft to Approved) or leave unchecked to maintain workflow (Draft>AA(Approve or reject)>Approved): In your workflow, under draft state verify that you have a submit command with next state assigned to Awaiting Approval. Under submit command create a SkipOver action. Create Class library project in VS, the output will be

Hi and thank you for your help. We're trying to keep a Sitecore site up and running on a WS 2008 R2 Standard server but keep running into the following exception: System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException The site is set up to run in its own App Pool with the 2.0 framework version selected and integrated pipeline mode. The site will run fine for a few minutes but then the app pool ends up being stopped with the following details: "Application pool '######' is being automatically disabled due to a series of failures in the process(es) serving that application pool." Checking the

I am trying to setup a very basic search index, to index all items in a specific folder. I haven't really used much searching, but I'm trying to use out-of-the-box features, because its a very simple search. I just want to index all the fields. The sitecore documentation really doesn't provide much information - I've read a few blogs, and they all seem to suggest that I need the advanced database crawler ( http://trac.sitecore.net/AdvancedDatabaseCrawler ) - basically, something to the effect of 'it won't work without a custom crawler). Is this right? I just want to create a simple index, and

How do I get the values from the "Parameters" field (second screenshot) in the code-behind of the sublayout? I understand I can get/set parameters on a rendering (specifically sublayout) when it is added to the presentation details of an item, just as described here ( Sitecore 6 - using parameters ). However I would like to use the parameters field from the layout definition item. In the codebehind of the file belonging to to layout definition I can cast the parent to a sublayout and that object also has a .Parameters property, however this doesn't contain the values I'd expect. This is the
