sitecore7

I have a website defined in Sitecore's site definitions. The path to it is /localhost/mysite/home . And it works. I need to create a custom controller to submit forms with an API bypassing Sitecore. So I have FormsController (inheriting from MVC controller) with an action named "Test" taking no parameters. I defined the route in the initialize pipeline like this: public class Initialize { public void Process(PipelineArgs args) { MapRoutes(); GlassMapperSc.Start(); } private void MapRoutes() { RouteTable.Routes.MapRoute( "Forms.Test", "forms/test", new { controller = "FormsController", action =

Sitecore CMS+DMS 6.6.0 rev.130404 => 7.0 rev.130424 In our project we have been using AdvancedDatabaseCrawler (ADC) for our indexes (specially because of it's dynamic fields feature). Here's a sample index configuration: <index id="GeoIndex" type="Sitecore.Search.Index, Sitecore.Kernel"> <param desc="name">$(id)</param> <param desc="folder">$(id)</param> <analyzer ref="search/analyzer" /> <locations hint="list:AddCrawler"> <web type="scSearchContrib.Crawler.Crawlers.AdvancedDatabaseCrawler, scSearchContrib.Crawler"> <database>web</database> <root>/sitecore/content/Globals/Locations</root>

I'm attempting to expand upon a custom Sitecore command to determine if the current item has a parent item matching a certain template id. I know the query should ideally be as simple as ./ancestor::*[@@templateid='{26710865-F082-4714-876B-D5E1F386792F}'] if the item is the context, or /sitecore/content/home/full/path/to/the-item/ancestor::*[@@templateid='{26710865-F082-4714-876B-D5E1F386792F}'] Unfortunately the item path includes dashes which need to be escaped like /sitecore/content/home/full/path/to/#the-item#/ancestor::*[@@templateid='{26710865-F082-4714-876B-D5E1F386792F}'] . However,

I am building a solution with Sitecore 7 and ASP.NET-MVC 3 and trying to use a custom model class as described in this blog post by john west . I have seen several other questions here on SO reporting a similar error with ASP.NET-MVC (without Sitecore), usually related to passing the wrong type of object in controller code, or there being a configuration error with the \Views\web.config file, but neither seem to be the issue here. this issue is caused when you create a view rendering (possibly others but i haven't tried it) and you have not set up the model in sitecore, so sitecore is passing

I've been using Sitecore version 7.1 for a few months now and have noticed that the Sitecore client logs me out after being idle for around 20 mins. Also other users have reported these issues whilst content editing. I'm using Windows 7, IIS 7, .NET framework 4.5. I've checked the error log for anything and can see no obvious errors and the keepalive service is running - I get this information in the logs: ManagedPoolThread #14 12:47:24 INFO Scheduling.UrlAgent started. Url:http://testsite/sitecore/service/keepalive.aspx I get some of these in the log, but could this be related? WARN Memory

I am exploring the new Sitecore.ContentSearch "LINQ to Sitecore" API in Sitecore 7. It is my understanding that Sitecore recommends using the new LINQ API over the existing Sitecore.Search API, however, I am struggling to perform even the simplest of queries. Take for instance the following search query: "hello world" . Using the Sitecore.Search API, the terms "hello world" would typically be passed through a QueryParser which would result in documents matching the word "hello" OR "world". Documents containing both terms would be scored higher that those with just one. How does one perform

My client does not have the budget to setup and maintain a SOLR server to use in their production environment. If I understand the Sitecore 7 Content Search API correctly, it is not a big deal to configure things to use Lucene instead. For the most part the configuration will be similar and the code will be the same, and a SOLR server can be swapped in later. The site build has faceted search page listing components on landing and on other pages that will leverage the Content Search API buckets with custom facets The site has around 5,000 pages and components not including media library items.
