"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 !!!

If you think you also have faced the same issue and you tired of reading MSDN KBs for it and still have not found the issue (If KB has solved the issue, well and good, if not you can try this trick),Please Read below Typical scenario In typical hosting with IIS, i did every possible things like enabling windows authentication, changing it in web.config, configuring connection pool, authorization rules, it asks me for window authentication login and despite of entering correct credentials it always fails and keeps on asking for login, and when pressed cancel it gives 401.1 with 0xc000006d error code Solution (Which worked for me at-least after trying for almost 6-9 hrs) You need to change the Loop Back Check in registry so that it allows the host names which you are giving in url are allowed and au...

An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

You have noticed many times that everything was working fine and suddenly the below error starts coming and you find no way to work it out An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details. The reason for this is the receiving size of WCF service is smaller then the data which is coming from service It was working before because it was small,So you will have to try to increase the receiving setting in your end point,Possible settings can be following maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" That would definately help you!!!
