XConnect Avatar Facet breaking Experience Profile
March 13, 2019 Rodrigo Peplau 0
During the last Sitecore Hackathon, I’ve been through a very strange and annoying issue with my Contacts, while developing our Face Login module. This happens in Sitecore 9.1, but previous versions should also be affected. When the issue starts, your Experience Profile gets “frozen” with the contacts that you already have. Any new contact will not […]

Powershell script to find TDS files with length error
December 17, 2018 Rodrigo Peplau 0
A very well described problem with TDS is the File Name length error. This article from Hedgehog brings everything you need to know about the issue itself, and how to work it out.

February 9, 2018 Rodrigo Peplau 0
Recently I had to customize the code that triggers when a Reset Layout is executed. If you ever had to attach any code to it, this post is for you! You know, that sympathetic prompt: The first thing you need to know is that Content Editor and Experience Editor does that differently, so let’s go for them: Round 1 […]

A few weeks ago, while upgrading one of at Nish Tech’s early-stages projects into Sitecore 9 Update 1, a very strange behavior when you try to do a very simple task: edit a Shared Layout of a page in Experience Editor. When you try to do that, the infamous screen “Layout not Set” shows right […]

Still have 'ERROR SCRIPTDOM NEEDED FOR SQL PROVIDER' when installing Sitecore 9?
January 11, 2018 Rodrigo Peplau 0
My friend Daniel Govier was having the following error when installing Sitecore 9 Update 1 using XP0:
msdeploy.exe : Error Code: ERROR_SCRIPTDOM_NEEDED_FOR_SQL_PROVIDER
Following the traditional path of any Sitecore developer, we googled that error and ended up in this blog article from Naveed Ahmad. Problem is that Daniel had already followed his article and installed SQL Server Data-Tier Application Framework, Transact-SQL ScriptDom, and the System CLR Types.
But just like Naveed, that doesn’t work, but we found a different solution instead of modifying Windows Registry.

Site-specific RichText Editor Profiles - custom Source in native RichText fields
January 6, 2018 Rodrigo Peplau 0
Everybody knows how to select different Editor Profiles using the Source property in a Rich Text field. Out of the box, you can only pass a hardcoded path to the Editor Profile, making the template totally linked to one and only one Profile. Hardcoded??? But what if we could make this dynamic and site-specific? That way, the same template could present different Editor Profiles […]

A Helix-Compliant solution, not based in a Habitat but with various “inspirations” (stealing) from there TDS is used to both serialization and […]

Prevent orphan components in Experience Editor when deleting composed components
September 29, 2017 Rodrigo Peplau 0
If an editor deletes a component in Experience Editor and that component has inner components, only the outer component will be actually deleted from the page rendering. Inner components will not show anymore (and often Content Editors will be happy), so why would that be a problem? The problem Take for instance this set of renderings […]
