Site Architecture

Recently, to meet project requirements, we customized and expanded the functionality of the “General Link” feature by incorporating a new “Telephone Link” feature. Everything was working correctly on our local project instance, but we got the below-listed error when the changes were deployed on the higher environment. Exception: Sitecore.Exceptions.AccessDeniedException Message: Calling Fieldtypes.ExtendedGeneralLink.ExtendedGeneralLinkForm.OnModeChange method through reflection […]

When planning a new website, a web development team must identify the essential components required for completion. These pieces are often called components. Assuming the site is being built using a Content Management System (CMS), most, if not all of these platforms will have their own set of “out of the box” components. Out of […]

As all AEM Developers know, AEM, and more-so the underlying JCR, has limitations on how many children a single parent can have before we start to see performance issues.  First in the UI, and then more critically in the ability to look-up and manage content nodes themselves.  When designing for a net-new AEM website, this […]

At Perficient, we’re thrilled to announce that we are a Gold Sponsor of this year’s Next.js Conference, hosted by Vercel. This much-anticipated event will take place on October 26th at the iconic SF Jazz in San Francisco, and just like last year, it will feature a vibrant virtual component for attendees to stream for free.

Our typical problem arises when we wish to incorporate an API into our mobile app. Consider the situation in which you need to create a mobile app for an existing system. The system was one monolithic solution that exposed an API that exclusively served the web client. The client’s proposal is not restricted to new mobile apps, […]

If you read my last article, the big deal with headless, you know that the big deal is performance. The architecture you get leveraging a headless architecture with Next.js front end is fundamentally superior to MVC. When you are ready to make the move to headless, you may be surprised that there isn’t just one […]

“I can Talk JavaScript, I can walk JavaScript, I can Laugh JavaScript because JavaScript is a very Funny Language.” It’s really a fun writing JavaScript code in the beginning like you can show a pop-up alert, can set a condition to show results and you can also do mathematical calculations in the console. Just press […]

A small tip can be a lifesaver when it comes to customizing a platform or an existing system. It’s crucial to first grasp the implementation details and then follow the correct path to add new functionality or make changes to existing features. However, if you’re unfamiliar with a particular area of the system and are […]

In previous posts, I shared my journey with Sitecore Data Exchange Framework and using Merlin to migrate your site to Sitecore.  Learning how to use Merlin was only one part of migrating a site.  In this post, I’ll share my powershell script to pull in data from Merlin and populate your content tree.  I’ll continue […]

In a previous post, I shared my journey with Sitecore Data Exchange Framework.  I was excited to use it to create a reusable importer process.  In the end, I decided it was not the right tool for me.  I ended up using Powershell.  In the process of researching site migration tools, I discovered “Merlin”.  Merlin […]

Open-source software grants its users a degree of accessibility that is not possible through its proprietary counterpart. Open-source codes are published publicly for all who wish to study and manipulate them, whereas proprietary software keeps users more restricted, inside hard, iron-clad lines.

What are Icons? Icons are graphical representations of different elements on a website. They make the webpages visually appealing and like any other image, have a stronger connection and retention to the end user’s memory than plain text.
