sitecore

I am trying to connect to my Azure SQL Database that has a Azure Active Directory Database Contained User from my .NET Application (Sitecore). I have the adalsql.dll installed on the VM hosting the .NET Application. However, when I attempt to connect, I receive the following error: Failed to authenticate the user test@mytest.onmicrosoft.com in Active Directory (Authentication=ActiveDirectoryPassword). Error code 0xCAA20064; state 10 AADSTS50055: Force Change Password. Here is my connectionString: <add name="mydb" connectionString="Data Source=test.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=TEST

I'm looking at using the new cloning functionality of Sitecore 6.4 to help with reuse of components and content for a multiple site, multiple language solution. The basic idea is to create a central content repository within Sitecore (possibly in multiple languages) which could then be cloned to provide regional sites, each with their own selection of supported languages. The thinking behind this is to allow regions to easily replicate the content they require and take ownership of it. With cloning they would be able to edit the data where they required without affecting the source data,

We have 5 relatively small sites running on top of Sitecore. The oldest has been hosted within the environment for 3 years. Currently both the master and web databases are roughly 8 GB a piece - surprising in size but also that they are nearly identical in size (I would expect the web database to be much smaller). Also surprising is the App_Data is over 50 GB in size (MediaCache is 15 GB and MediaFiles is 37 GB). Any ideas or suggestions on ways to reduce files on disc - even temporarily? Media Files - media items stored on disk (keep this folder) Media Cache - is where sitecore caches image

I've been working on a custom page in Sitecore over the holidays, and I've noticed an issue where Sitecore removes JavaScript lines from the editor. Here's an overview of my current scenario: I add Javascript to the page. I save, check in, and publish. Changes are there, and everything is working. I work on it later and those changes are no longer there. I'm the only one who's edited this page, and it is publishing the current/correct version. It doesn't matter if I add the script through the "Show Editor" or "Edit HTML" features of the content editor. It only removes the JavaScript though;

We are using Lucene for text search as part of sitecore. Is there any method to ignore stop words (like a,an,the...) in the sitecore search? By default, Sitecore uses Lucene standard analyzer - Lucene.Net.Analysis.Standard.StandardAnalyzer . You can see this is defined in /configuration/sitecore/search/analyzer element of web.config file. One of the constructors of StandardAnalyzer class accepts the array of strings it will consider stop words. By default it uses the hardcoded list of stop words which include: "a", "an", "and", "are", "as", "at", "be", "but", "by", "for", "if", "in", "into",

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,
