we’re creating the first Sitecore-based Augmented Reality Treasure Hunt Game that Sitecore Symposium 2017 attendees can play to win an HTC Vive Virtual Reality Headset and other great prizes, and we’re looking for partners/participants.

For the past week, I was trying to figure out an issue related to the Experience Editor in Sitecore as it was rendering JSON as content.

I remember when I started to get myself into Sitecore development and I had to setup my environment for the first time, I needed to install MongoDB on my local machine so...

When architecting a website using Sitecore one potential issue that can arise is Sitecore’s inability to handle multiple placeholders with the same name. If you have a complicated page that uses a sublayout multiple times, and that sublayout has a placeholder, there’s no simple way to give that placeholder a unique name for each identical sublayout. Thankfully Sitecore Experienced! has created a powerful third-party package for Sitecore called “Integrated Dynamic Placeholders” which can help us.

Recently, we had to retrieve content from an external SQL database and use the content in a component, fair enough. Using Entity Framework, we can connect to the database and generate classes and models for the tables - this of course makes things a lot easier for us.

There are two ways to build a Sitecore package, it's either by using Sitecore Package Designer or by using Sitecore Rocks. Using Sitecore Rocks to create a package has many advantages including the ability to manage packages from Visual Studio or setting up dependencies in the package.

As a developer, how many times you needed to go through the publishing process in Sitecore to see your changes on the live site?

Sitecore's live mode will just save your time!

If you would like your visitors to navigate your newly created micro-site in a multi-site solution, you have to add site bindings and make sure your host name points to the server where the website...

Do you know you can use Sitecore Rocks to sync folders between your Visual Studio Project and your IIS Website Root?

Our team here at TechGuilds managed to catch a bug related to WFFM (Web Forms For Marketers) Insert Form wizard.

Ever since the Ontario government introduced the Accessbility for Ontarioans with Disabilities Act (AODA), there has much discussion and some confusion leading to many questions. In this post we'll shed some light on how Sitecore can help with AODA compliance.

In my previous article on "Connecting to Microsites with the Sitecore Federated Experience Manager (FMX)" we saw the power and possibilities for personalization when connecting Sitecore to a WordPress website. In this post we'll take another exploratory step in the world of FXM.

Recently, I had the opportunity to do some customer training on Sitecore and its many personalization, analytics and context marketing features including the Federated Experience Manager (FXM). 

If you're like me and enjoy the power of the Sitecore Experience (marketing) Platform, then the FXM will equally impress you.

A simple fix for the showModalDialog problem.
If you’ve recently worked with an earlier version of Sitecore than 7.1 using Google Chrome, you’ve probably ran into a fairly annoying problem. When working in the Content Editor you’ve probably noticed that a large number of interactive elements of the page simply never finish loading when clicked. This applies to many of the features (ex Presentation -> Details or Page Editor) but somewhat most annoyingly, when you click on any item in the tree, it will simply show an hourglass and do nothing.

New Orleans affectionately called #NOLA is a happening place and the perfect setting for what's happening in the world of personalisation and contextualisation. 

Read our quick, play-by-play, synopsis and key insights from #SitecoreSym (Sitecore Symposium 2016).

On average personalisation can result in +19% conversions (The realities of online personalisation, e-Consultancy April 2013).

I recently had to build an asynchronous form in MVC that switches to a thank you message on successful submission. In this post, we will discuss a way to achieve this using views in MVC.

There is an expression that says, “there is more than one way to skin a cat” and there are many articles which cover “event tracking” through Google Analytics, but few on tracking PDF downloads directly within Sitecore. In fact, IMO Sitecore’s tracking is much easier since it handles all of the tagging and reporting for you - right out of the box - through a simple point-and-click process...which is why I wrote this post. How sweet is that?!

In this article, we will describe how to setup your Visual Studio solution outside of the webroot. Creating your project outside of the web root makes it cleaner, easier to use, and more flexible.
