Ok so its post number 3 and I'm already a day late, my apologies, I was travelling and have just got back to the office.

CMS

  • Dependency Injection with Sitecore - A god article introducing dependency injection and why it is a good thing, as well as showing you a way to use it in Sitecore. If you aren't using dependency injection, I recommend you look into it.
  • Inside Sitecore 7: Seven Deadly Sins on Sitecore 7 - For all of you who missed the Sitecore Dev. Team's webinar around what not to do in Sitecore 7, its now available on you tube.
  • Index users with Lucene in Sitecore - Have a large user base that needs to be searched/displayed on your website and the membership API's not cutting it? This post runs through an implementation of creating a Lucene index specifically for you users and how you trigger update etc. Its also a good read if you find yourself needing to index content that is not in the tree, as it shows how to hook in a custom crawler.
  • A very simple media upload via URL - Want to give your users the ability to upload a file straight from the web, as opposed to from their computer? This blog post give you the code to create a field that does exactly that.
