SDL is conducting a series of webinars ahead of the release of SDL Tridion Sites 9 later this year. Recordings of the webinars are made available by SDL. The upcoming release is an important milestone for SDL Tridion DX, which integrates SDL Tridion Sites (formerly known as SDL Web) and SDL Tridion Docs (formerly SDL Knowledge Center), to define digital experiences on a global scale.
Explaining DXA Resolver
In version 2 of SDL’s Digital Experience Accelerator (mostly referred to as DXA), SDL introduced the DXA resolver. Customizing the resolving process can be used to manipulate the list of items to publish that results from a publish action.
Automatically refresh page in Sitecore Experience Editor after updating a component
“EditFrames in the Experience Editor is a feature that you can use to give users front-end access to fields that are not directly accessible, either because they are not visible or they are of a type that are not directly front-end editable.”
When editing a component using EditFrames or the Editor Button, the component datasource does not refresh. To do this, you have to save the page first, followed by reloading the page with the latest changes, which is cumbersome for content editors.
Preventing duplicate items in Sitecore
As a recommended practice, we should not allow duplicate names, in order to achieve this, we have to create a new event in Sitecore. Events in Sitecore are similar to the events in other systems: something triggers an event and there are handlers that are configured to handle the event.
