Several of the Sitecore employees who participate in the community are talking about 5.3.1. As for all the major product updates, a revisions comes up quickly as somehow the product is never 100% tested and concept introduced in the new versions can’t have that much feedback before the final release.

Just looked at this link on SDN5 and foud out you can configure some context menu’s and contextual tabs/ribbons using the Configure Tab/Ribbon. Interesting! Will come back on that.

After installing 5.3′, the install script has set some rights so you aren’t able to go to the DBBrowser for example. Ofcourse I do know that the tool isn’t supported by Sitecore, but as I’ve seen that it is enhanced in 5.3, I know it’s at least usefull… :).

First of all, there’s an excellent article about creating your own fields on SDN: Creating Custom Field. As a matter of fact, going to provide the documentation team some additional information, but as it is now, it’s also excellent. And [...]

Today my feedreader pointed me on the release of SP1 for Visual Studio 2005. Luckily, I wasn’t programming this morning, so had the change to update Visual studio. But, I have to say, the SP1 is a bloody hell. I’m not talking about the functionality, I’m talking about the installation!

Yesterday, I had to set some security in the shell of one of our clients. As you don’t want to make it that difficult for yourself, I’ve got some practical hints:
Keep your security databases(scSecurity, scExtranet) clean by grouping users and roles in different folders(in 5.3, use the user defined folder and take advantage of the [...]
I’m preparing myself, or actually, I have finished preparing myself for the exam ‘Microsoft.NET Frame work 2.0 – Application Development Foundation’. It is always funny to see that most developers are using techniques but has been back to school for some proper preparation, most of the knowledge they’ve collected was done during some hands-on-task.

Today, one of our self-developing customer, invited me to give them a helping hand on their environment and review their deployment strategy. Actually I was quite impressed by the way they are using their expertise to deploy Sitecore in a proper way. And it isn’t only Sitecore. Although just Sitecore itself is tough enough. For example: It [...]
