Hi Team, Recently, I faced an issue where for the new project my Sitecore serialization started giving me following error. Error: "Error connecting to https://sc10.dev.local/.well-known/openid-configuration: Bad Gateway" My identity server when browsed above url was also not working and showing following. Well, I tried seeing logs and different things, I also followed what is given on these links.  https://sitecore.stackexchange.com/questions/34744/open-id-configuration-issue-with-sitecore-cli https://tekkishare.azurewebsites.net/pages/sitecore-clilogin-error-badgateway https://www.stockpick.nl/english/sitecore-cli-login-error/ But I was still getting the same error. Solution If you see above screenshot of my identity server, in "Troubleshooting steps" it is mentioned that "Check the system event log for error messages." It triggered me, I opened event log of windows, and I could see following error.  Now, i already update my .net run time version accordin

Hi People, First of all congratulations to all 2024 MVPs, Last year has been a community year where we saw lot of new MVPs and lot of new content coming from lot of people, Good learnings. I wanted to share some articles on the real discoveries and headless implementation we did and journey we had and what all things were involved in it etc. but i will bring that later on. Today i am going to talk about "Component Builder", Amazing tool of Sitecore XM Cloud, Last year i did lot of research and hands on to "XM Cloud Component Builder", Very powerful futuristic tooling provided by Sitecore. At that time it was still in "Early Access" phase, but now the offering is fully available, i wanted to revisit and provide almost all the info related to it and will also show, How to create fully functional website without writing any code, yes " It is low code / no code ". Last year i presented at SUGCON-2023-India on "FeaaS - Front End As A Service"

Hi Sitecorians, It has been amazing learning year so far and with the change in technology and shift of the focus on frontend frameworks and composable products, it has been market demand to keep learning and exploring new things. Reasons behind this blog Today's topic is something that was in my draft from April-May, and I always thought that there is already a good documentation out there for  Leprechaun  and a blog post is not needed, Until I realized that there was so many of us facing same kind of issues and same kind of problems and spending same amount of time, That is where I thought, if I could write something which can reduce that repetitive troubleshooting time, That would really help the community. 1)  In a project environment, if we get into some configuration issues, we resolve them, we make sure we are not blocked and continue, but if you think same issue, same step and same scenario will come to other people, so if we can draft it online, it will help other people 2

Hi Team, Recently I was working on a search solution, it was simple filtration functionality and we wanted to have simple GraphQL queries so we can get items as we need. The setup up is Sitecore XM scaled with CM and CDs (No experience edge) So, I just wrote simple GQL and were trying to test its results, Query worked just fine, and we were satisfied but we also wanted to have a filter for only items which had some presentation details, because we only wanted to return search results which are created from certain templates and having a presentation set on them, So the search list page will link those pages to those items. So, I just put a standard check of _hasLayout property, using which we could target only those items which have presentation details on them, like following. By just introducing the _hasLayout property It stopped working, though this particular project was not on XM Cloud, we tried testing it on XM Cloud environment as it is a generic search GQL, and we found out th

Hi Team, Recently we came across two distinct scenarios with same error message.  1) We started getting below error when we try to hit our layout service API endpoint. If we hit end point of CM, it was working fine and when we try to hit end point of CD it was giving this error, It was clear there is something in backend expecting master DB instead of WEB DB In first scenario my colleague  Jatin  also got same issue while setting up docker instance for 10.3, and my friend  Akshay Barve  and I had the same observation. 2) Second scenario I was having the same exception, It was another project on 10.3 XM with CD, It was one of the migration project so we were migrating from 10.2 to 10.3, Older site was not giving any error but new site the moment we hit, it was giving same exception in the log Issue in second scenario was in site grouping there was only site and both CM and CD URLs were given in host name and had WEB db as database, so basically there was no preview site, but both of the

Hi Team, Today's post will interest most of the coder and Sitecore technologist who are working in Sitecore JSS apps and want to ignore some paths from prerendering and also want to it to content manage them, so those items which you want to ignore can be in sitecore and everything will work dynamically. I am going to talk about how to exclude specific pages from being prerendered  Till now, I believe most of you know how to prerender pages in Sitecore JSS apps using NextJS, Using getStaticProps function, Basically it generates static version of your Sitecore page and prerender it and save it on the server disk, so the loading of the page becomes faster and site performance is improved so i will not cover that and there is a great documentation out there on Sitecore jss site  https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/hd/19/sitecore-headless-development/prerendering-methods-and-data-fetching-strategies-in-jss-next-js-apps.html  I will cover the scenarios on "How can you exclude
