I was tasked with setting up the security settings which was needed for the content editors providing the content of the Sitecore site we are working on. While Sitecore provides an author role, it does not provide an editor role which allows a content editor to edit existing items and well as add new items […]

The Sitecore Powershell Module has once again come to the rescue to save me a lot of time in a recent update. We made an update to a left navigation component for mobile views in our responsive site. That being said the component needed to be added to a hundred+ product pages so that the navigation and an […]

After we enabled HTTPS on one of our clients’ sites in their pre-prod environment, Sitecore started to add :443 to all URLs, which was undesirable from an SEO perspective. I found this question on Stack Overflow about the issue, and I tried the suggestions of setting scheme=”https” and port=”443″ in the site definition, hoping that Sitecore’s built-in LinkProvider would recognize :443 to be redundant in the URLs, […]

The 2-day symposium will explore the business value of SharePoint and Office 365 for legal firms.  Perficient will be highlighting our capabilities on the SharePoint and Office 365 platforms, most notably in these key areas: SharePoint and Office 365 […]

I’ve worked on a few projects that make use of John West‘s technique to create AJAX services for your Sitecore components, as outlined in his blog post here. In a fresh Sitecore project, the action methods on your controllers are accessible from Sitecore only–you can’t access them by navigating to http://{{yoursiteurl}}/{controller}/{action} like you would in a […]

Anyone who works with Office 365 knows that there is no shortage of new features rolling out, the pace at which new functionality is made available definitely keeps you on your toes. Part of what inspired me to develop www.roadmapwatch.com is that I wanted to know more about when features progressed through the various stages […]

Within our Microsoft Practice we spend a lot of time and energy focused on creating great Intranet and Portal experiences for our customers. Over the last 10 years SharePoint has become the defacto platform of choice for Intranets in the enterprise as evidenced by the Nielsen Norman Best Intranets of 2016 awards where 9 out […]

Citing research that demand for virtual reality headsets will rise to almost 80 million devices by 2020, Microsoft announced during the keynote presentation at Computex in Taipei that Windows Holographic will bring the “next frontier” in personal computing.

It’s little tricky when it comes to creating Custom Task Outcomes using Visual Studio as there are quite a few steps to keep in mind in order to successfully build your workflow project. I have hit quite the same road blocks as many developers across the forum are now facing. So in this walk through, I will share my experiences and necessary actions […]

Ran into a situation today where I needed to get all of the base templates for a given item. Toyed with a few approaches including recursion. I figured there had to be a better way. So after quite a bit of Stack Overflow reading, and a few Sitecore blogs, I came up with this really […]

For many of my clients security and privacy of data in the cloud is the top most priority.  Balancing the fine line of making your data secure but yet still allowing end users to get their jobs done efficiently and effectively is the key to success for a cloud implementation.   You cannot have security without usability because […]

I have been working in a Sitecore environment where in code, I am checking the branch template ID of an item when searching for those items using Coveo.  Once I completed my unit testing of this functionality in my local development environment, to move things along, I created a package of these items to install […]
