Checking a Pasted Datasource Location Against Datasource Template Value

In this video I discuss the importance of double checking datasources which instead of being selected using the "Browse" link is instead pasting in the datasource location field which circumvents that check.

Running PowerShell Script to Audit Media Library Files

I was asked to create a PowerShell script to return a list of files which are stored in the media library as either a PDF, Word Document or just a plain file. This is the code I quickly put together and used.

Consejo del día: Script de PowerShell para localizar archivos en la Biblioteca Multimedia

(In Spanish) ¡Buen día! Muy a menudo, cuando creo blogs relacionados con PowerShell, lo hago no solo para compartir el código que creé con otros, sino también para mantener un registro del código que creé para un posible uso posterior. En este ejemplo, se me pidió crear un script de PowerShell para devolver una lista de archivos que se almacenan en la biblioteca de medios como un PDF, un documento de Word o simplemente un archivo plano. Este es el código que rápidamente armé y utilicé.

Tip of the Day: PowerShell Script to Locate Files in the Media Library

Good Day! Very often when I create blogs involving PowerShell, I do so to not only share code I created with others but to keep a record of the code I created for later possible use. In this example, I was asked to create a PowerShell script to return a list of files which are stored in the media library as either a PDF, Word Document or just a plain file. This is the code I quickly put together and used.

Tip of the Day: Check your Datasource when Pasting its Path

Usually when you assign a datasource to a component, it should be choose-able from a data or an asset folder which exists under the page item within the content tree or in a global folder accessible from the page item’s position on the content tree. However, even in well designed content tree structure, there can be exceptions where the desired datasource may actually be somewhere else.

Tip of the Day: Placeholder versus Datasource Interactions with a Component

I decided to write a blog about a situation involving the use of a component on a Sitecore page which I felt is worth discussing. Very often as pages are built in Sitecore, components are quickly added and removed to determine which are the best collection of components and datasources to render the page in the manner desired. To remove a component, a content editor may decide to remove the component in one of two manners. That person may decide to either remove the placeholder assigned to the c...

Tip of the Day: Use of Enable Item Fallback within Sitecore

An aspect of Sitecore which should be well known is its support for multiple language content on your site. The process of adding that language is easy and you are off to the races before you know it. While each page can be designed and created individually in as many languages as needed, another option which is just as nice to leverage is enabling item fallback. This option is great, when the page design is standard and all that needs changing is the translated language.

Tip of the Day: Determining a Proper Image Item Name – A Sitecore’s Media Library Story

As I support content editors and marketers using Sitecore, they will upload their own images into Sitecore’s media library. An aspect involved with uploading an image into Sitecore is providing the name of the item. The first thing to always remember in Sitecore is that everything is an item and how items behave is rather consistent in this environment regardless of their function within Sitecore.

Tip of the Day: Using External Versus Internal Link Information Within a Sitecore Link Field

Recently I had to create a video about how to properly pass information into a Sitecore link field if it designed to reference a page associated with a Sitecore item internal to the site and why it is preferrable to make that a “link” (implying an internal link) versus an externally positioned link which references the item through its URL. I wish to use this blog to discuss the differences in how the items are referenced if a (internal) link is used for a page item versus its external URL refer...
