sitecore

I'm running Sitecore 6.5 and have a data template that has an image field and an item that's based on that template. The site had two languages. If I use a versioned image (one item in the media library with En and Fr versions) in the En and Fr versions of the item then publish the site and switch the language in the site using query string, sc_lang=en or fr, everything changes in the page except for the image. But if I use two different images (two items in the media library) then the correct image loads when switching between languages. Any idea to why this happens? Thanks T Update I tried

Sitecore provides a way of escaping words within a Sitecore query that contain characters that they don't like. Such characters include hyphens and spaces. In the interest of simplifying my life, I wrote a simple helper function that would escape every part of a Sitecore query, and it worked fine for a while: public static string EscapePath(string path){ return Regex.Replace(path, @"([^/]+)", "#$1#").Replace("#*#", "*"); } (the Replace("#*#","*") is in there because Sitecore doesn't like it when you wrap the asterisk in hashes). As I said, this worked fine for a while. Today, I came across a

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 =

We want to set up a system where administrators of clones receive email notification when the item their clone was cloned from is updated. There will be multiple clones created from this item and ideally we'd like to filter notification by language (so administrators of an English clone don't receive notifications when the French version is updated). Is there a simple way to implement any of this inside a workflow? If so, which even should I try and hook a workflow action to? Will I need to extend or override a pipeline to do this?

I have a sublayout in sitecore (which is an ascx control) which contains a hidden field and an image map. Depending on the area of the image map which is clicked, I want to set the value of the hidden field, then initiate a postback to the server. My markup is as follows: <script type="text/javascript"> function SetRegion(regionName) { $('#<%=hdnRegion.ClientID%>').val(regionName); __doPostBack('<%=lnkRedirectButton.UniqueID%>', ''); } </script> <img src="/Images/Interface/Map-Background.png" usemap="#regionMapView" class="map" /> <map id="regionMapView" name="regionMapView"> <area id="x" href

I've try to extend SingleLineText field on WFFM on Sitecore. This field will have CustomValidator. But ServerValidate event does not fire when page postbacked. The snipped code below. public class SingleLineText : Sitecore.Form.Web.UI.Controls.SingleLineText { protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e) { base.OnInit(e); var validator = new CustomValidator() { Display = ValidatorDisplay.None }; validator.ServerValidate += this.Validator_ServerValidate; this.generalPanel.Controls.Add(validator); } protected void Validator_ServerValidate(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args) { // does not

I have a multiple-site Sitecore project. I know how to deal with error pages via the webconfig's ErrorPage, ItemNotFoundUrl, LayoutNotFoundUrl, LinkItemNotFoundUrl for one site. However, I'm wanting to display a different error pages for each site. How can I accomplish this? John West In any case, you can probably store the URLs of the error pages for each site as attributes of the /configuration/sitecore/sites/site elements in web.config by extending the Sitecore.Sites.SiteContext class ( see for information about extending existing classes ). The SDN forum post provides more information

We are having an issue with searching a Lucene Index in Sitecore. Everything works fine for a while, and then, after what appears to be a random amount of time, we start getting the following error on every single search against the index: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException Message: Non-negative number required.
