sitecore

We are starting off a new project with sitecore as our CMS. I was thinking of using Sitecore as the Content Authoring Tool and use ASP.net MVC as in the Content delivery(CDA) Side along with Sitecore. Would love to hear your ideas and thoughts on this. Have anybody tried this? Is sitecore and MVC competing or Complementing technologies? Any architectural ideas are welcome. For certain cases, there can be huge benefit to merging the two. MVC isn't that great of a fit for content-driven sites. However, web applications with structured flow and multiple presentations of data benefit hugely from

I have several roles defined, each with different restrictions to content and media items and I would like to restrict the search results that are returned based on the access rights of the currently logged in user, rather than displaying the result and the user then presented with an "Access Denied" page.

This should be simple but Im going round in circles Here's an example of the code I've tried .. ascx : <asp:HyperLink runat="server" ID="lnkMain"></asp:HyperLink> ascx.cs: lnkMain.NavigateUrl = SiteCore.Context.Item.GetGeneralLink("Link1"); lnkMain.Text = item.GetFieldValue("Link1Text"); You should be careful

I have a Sitecore site where I want to have website visitor accounts stored in an external asp.net membership database but keep Sitecore content editors/admins managed via the Sitecore interface (and hence stored in the 'Core' database).
