The instances of Sitecore with more than one site are on the rise. SXA allows for templated Site and Tenant Management, and Sitecore even released a special Multisite Addon which handles all the resolution of sites by hostname, just like the way things used to be! This could have easily been Borat However, we were…
SPE Out-Download Gives a 401 Error
We recently setup a new local installation of Sitecore XM, with SPE, SXA, the whole deal. One of our developers was trying to export some content via the Out-Download command, which wasn’t working. For the sake of testing, we dumbed this query down to the absolute basic: “Hello World!” | Out-Download -Name hello-world.txt In theory,…
Virtual User Group Presentation – March 2024
Last week, I had the honor of presenting at the Virtual Sitecore Headless Development User Group, organized by Martin Miles. It was a great chance to throw down some knowledge on all the fun things you can do with SSG and ISR, things I find near and dear to my heart. Like cheeseburgers. And bacon…
Next.js Multisite constantly reloading
Here’s a quick and dirty one today… We’re setting up a new solution with a few Sitecore sites as a foundation. Let’s call them Site A (siteA.com and Site B (siteB.com). (Sorry for the lack of creativity.). The directions for this can be found on the Sitecore Multisite Add-on Docs. When browsing to siteA.com, things…
Vercel’s “An unexpected error happened when running this build.”
Imagine a world where everything works all the time, and there are no weird-ass errors to troubleshoot. Sounds boring, yeah? Good thing it’s not a real place. Fantasies aside, sometimes things that have been working for ages just stop working. We ran into that case just recently with a project. This project has been live…
Could not find property ‘alwaysExcludeVirtualFolder’
We recently had a new developer setup their local installation of a project which had been working for quite some time now. Everything went well, until their CM instance wouldn’t come up healthy. They saw the following in their log files: Message: Could not find property ‘alwaysExcludeVirtualFolder’ on object of type: Sitecore.Links.UrlBuilders.DefaultItemUrlBuilderOptions Source: Sitecore.Kernel at…
Helpful Graph Queries for your SXA Project
If you’re working on an XM Cloud or XMPaaS project (with Edge), you’re going to have to get very comfortable with Graph. Why? Literally everything uses it. In order to get content out of Edge, or even your preview Edge endpoint, Graph is your language. It’s ok though, because it’s not stupid and it actually…
SPE-based On-demand ISR in NextJS
If you’ve made the jump to Headless with NextJS, Vercel, and Edge, you’re likely using Static Site Generation (SSG) at build time, and you’re likely going to be using Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR). SSG is useful to build some or all of the pages before your deployment is complete, thus giving users immediate access to…
Solved: Connection to your rendering host failed with a Payload Too Large
Imagine you’re walking your dog/cat/sheep/child whatever and you come across a hole in the ground. It looks like some furry critter dug a hole. Nothing weird. Now you head over to examine a hole, and out pops a dolphin. You may say WTH. That’s kinda the same response I had yesterday when I solved this…
Using PowerShell to Publish to Experience Edge
Normally, something this light wouldn’t be a blog post, but here we are. If you’ve used PowerShell to publish content before, maybe some import process or third party integration into the CMS…you know it’s pretty straight forward: Publish-Item -Path master:\content\home -Target Internet That’s not hard. Now instead of a normal DB Target, you want to…
