I've been working peripherally with Coveo for the past couple years now. It hasn't been until recently that I've actually needed to start diving into the “API” to try and harvest the data. This, however, proved to be more difficult than one would expect from a Search product!
Out of the box, Coveo does a pretty good job of crawling your website and providing search capabilities. In this particular installation we aren't using the "Sitecore connector" we are simply letting coveo do its thing walking the site. We encountered an issue where Sitecore media library items, mainly PDF files, were not making it into the index. We figured it must be a filter of some sort blocking access to it and this proved to be the case.
The FieldRenderer Control (Sitecore.Web.UI.WebControls.FieldRenderer) has a method called OverrideFieldValue that takes a string and is supposed to be shown instead of the real fields value, but it doesn't work.
Editors (and some sysadmins) that have been around IIS web sites for a few years seem to have a little trouble grasping what Sitecore can do for them. More specifically, they have trouble grasping what it is they don't need to do anymore!
This is a follow up post to "Photo Management" on how I am starting to organize my digital images. After looking around at some of my options (Picasa, Adobe products, buying an iMac, …) I have decided to take the cheap way out. Here is my current workflow, which is a work in progress.
We have been doing some pretty fun work with Sitecore 6 here at Hedgehog Development... I started doing some work with Sitecore Template Diagrams a while back and I got to talking with some colleagues and we decided to take this to another level. While I can't get into the specifics (just yet) about the entire project I can show you the diagrams being generated!
I am running into a problem. I have never been much of a picture taking kind of guy... that is, until I got a dog and a son. Now I am snapping pictures like a mad man with my Canon Xsi and amassing thousands of pictures named IMG_9321.jpg. I need help!!!!
What sad news. LeRoi Moore, The Dave Matthews Band saxophonist has died.
DigitalDJPool.com is the online equivalent of a "record pool" more commonly known now as a "Digital Pool." For those who aren't aware, a record pool is a source for DJ's to get promotional music from record labels for use in clubs/radio/etc... The record labels provide the music to "the pool" and the pool can then provide feedback to the label. Now that MP3's are being used more than vinyl, DigitalDJPool.com provides DJ's with promotional MP3's rather than shipping crates of records!
