Now that Sitecore Symposium is a week in the rear-view mirror, and I have power back from Sandy destroying the East Coast, I thought it’s time to get a post out about my experience at Symposium this year.  So here goes… First, I was quite happy with the venue change.  I’m not really big on […]

A client recently had a need for using multiple instances of a single sub-layout that had Sitecore placeholders on it.  They discovered that when they tried implementing this, they ended up with duplicate / replicated data in each placeholder of the sub-layout that was used multiple times.  Searching for an answer, we came across this […]

Sometimes when introducing prospective clients to the awesome software that is Sitecore, we face a little bit of a pushback from the IT groups.  This is because a lot of those IT groups include developers who have been working very hard at creating custom applications to suit their companies.  As a developer who spent 5 […]

Last week I wrote a blog post about a fix for the bug you will get in Sitecore 6.6 rev 120622 when you try utilizing DMS Personalization on an MVC site.  If you are interested in using the Sitecore Test Lab, which allows Content Editors to create A/B and Multivariate Tests on their content in the […]

Brief Bug Description: As soon as a change is made and published to attempt to Personalize a Rendering in Sitecore 6.6 rev. 120622 (Technical Preview), an error will be encountered on the page where the personalization has been set up on any MVC site.  The error is “Method ‘ToString’ in type ‘Sitecore.Mvc.Analytics.Presentation.EmptyRenderer’ from assembly ‘Sitecore.Mvc.Analytics, […]

While I pre-ordered my copy of John West’s Professional Sitecore Development book, and received it from Amazon pretty much on the earliest possible date, I’m just now finding the time to get into it.  I hope to write a few blog posts detailing my thoughts on the book and passages I think are especially important, […]

This blog post may seem a bit unnecessary, especially to anyone who’s already worked a fair amount with Sitecore.  Yet I’m rather surprised by the number of clients we’ve worked with who have already purchased Sitecore and made the decision to go with it but aren’t sure how to realize its full potential because of […]

If you’ve used or implemented any type of software at a moderate degree, it’s very likely you’ve had to deal with official support for at least a little bit.  I recently had to contact the support team for Sitecore, and I’ve written a blog post detailing my experience.  The post is on Sitecore.net under the […]

Lately the topic of gamification has been getting a lot of press.  Even here on the Perficient blogs, we’ve had some great gamification posts and white papers, covering a full spectrum from specific technology platforms (IBM Connections), entire solutions (Intranet) to the broad industries (Healthcare).  As an avid gamer, I love that something I have […]

Yesterday I pre-ordered my copy of Professional Sitecore Development, a book being written by John West, and releasing on May 22, 2012.  I have to say, I couldn’t be more excited to receive it in the mail.  As an experienced .NET and Sitecore developer, I can safely say – you never know everything, and probably […]

A quick tip post here, as I go about looking through some of my older posts from my personal blog. Standard Values are an awesome thing for Sitecore architects.  Most likely, anyone who’s developed a Sitecore site has set “$name” as a default Standard Value to at least one field of his templates.  The proper […]
