"Find All Reference" like functionality for sitecore content tree

Problem
I was new to Sitecore and I had to trace lot of things on the existing project to find out where all the elements are connected, like these renderings are used where? which item is using which template or if you have a template, which item is being created from that template, all those references I was trying to find.


Being a .net guy and visual studio familiar, you always love to see if you can get something like "Find all references" and can find where the object you are refereeing to is referenced.


Solution
Sitecore provides real good referencing in its "Navigate->Links" menu, You select any object be it, layout, rendering, template and go to Navigate menu
and inside it click "Links" menu it will give you following two types of reference

  • Items that refer to the selected item.
  • Items that selected item refers to.

It becomes easy when you are having some experience in Sitecore, but if you are just new to Sitecore, this will definitely help !!!

Experience Analytics not working

Hello Sitecorian, How many of you have encountered an error or the situation where graph on the experience analytics dashboard or graph on launchpad's dashboard is not working I recently encountered with this scenario where i was presented with the situation where simply graph was not coming up, Before digging completely into it and checking logs and everything, From very first high level thoughts pointed me to check Is the valid certificate is used for xconnect?

  Hi Team, Today i am going to share one of the nightmarish issue with you all, We are having Sitecore 9.1.1 hosted in azure PaaS environment Our site was working just fine and no noise, but we have been working on a feature release where 7-8 months of development needed to be released to production, Big GO LIVE event right?  Also to make the development smoother we also introduced BLUE/GREEN deployment slots in the same release, so we can easily SWAP slots and go live Everything went well, we went live, we even did load and performance testing on our staging and pre-prod and we were confident enough of results Very next day we started getting "SITE DOWN" alerts, and also product owners and clients mentioned that site is very slow for them in US time and in our morning when we were accessing it, it was working lighting fast so we were clue less at start, but we started digging  1) First thing caught our eyes were HIGH CPU spikes, in US time, also without any traffic CPU u...

Set up leprechaun code generation with Sitecore XM Cloud Starterkit

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 othe...
