Want to use the shiny new built-in Redirects mechanism in your Headless SXA on Next.JS? Read on! The Sitecore 10.3 Release Notes say “You can now redirect a specific page to a new location, or create a redirect map for your headless sites.” Sounds great! But the linked documentation only…

This is my forward-looking view on the current state of developing on the Sitecore platform with containers. I will be considering XM/XP/XM Cloud. Back Story I first looked at Docker based development back in 2019 when the Sitecore community-based and community-led effort of doing Sitecore in Docker was starting to really gain…

If you’re developing with Sitecore on Docker and need to bind some custom domains to your CM/CD instances in Traefik, here’s an easy and future-proof way. Naming Convention First, I’m defining that cm.yourdomain.localhost and *-cm.yourdomain.localhost should automatically resolve to your CM container, and similarly cd.yourdomain.localhost and *-cd.yourdomain.localhost should automatically resolve to your CD container.

The new composable, headless architecture of Sitecore has many benefits, I think we all agree. But there are features that we’ve taken for granted for a long time on Sitecore XM that won’t be immediately available on XM Cloud. One of the big gaps I can see is content search. Experience Edge …

The age of the composable DXP is here and with that comes new integration challenges. Here I will explain how to use the Sitecore Forms module (which comes baked into Sitecore XM) to identify the user that submitted a form as contacts in CDP and Send. A small caveat before…

If you’re in a situation where you need a custom database for whatever reason, your first reaction might be “Hey, let’s just chuck in a connection string, whack in Entity Framework or ADO.NET, easy!” STOP! It’s not safe! What do I mean by safe here? Safety in development refers to…

Just a short PSA for anyone using Sitecore 10.1.0–10.1.2 with SXA (and possibly this affects 10.2 as well as Sitecore registered a new bug), if your CD server is locking up with 100% CPU: I created a memory dump and profiler trace and then opened a Sitecore support ticket. They…

In my Sitecore Headless (JSS) travels, I see that there is no OOTB example of how to have Sitecore RichText fields use the Vue router for internal links. There is an example of how to do exactly this if you are using React / NextJS. So I have here adapted that code for Vue. Please contact me if you notice any issues with it! Usage and params are exactly like the official RichText component you get OOTB.

Even though we had another virtual Symposium, it was still a fantastic one with some incredible publications by Sitecore, their customers, and the community. Some key takeaways and predictions for me: The composable DXP is really taking shape. I foresee most new projects being built on a headless front-end stack…
