Hi Team, One more amazing troubleshooting day, And this is when one fine morning one of the developer in our team raised the FLAG that she is not able to export pages using "Export" button available in ribbon in experience editor and she was getting below exception in export wizard, and surprisingly in content editor, "Creative exchange" section and their export/import button were not showing at all. "Export failed. There is no storage definition in the site"   We use azure virtual machines so she had the same copy as mine, and it was working fine on my machine, so my troubleshooting started, i was not expecting anything major out of it as i thought there must be something minor going on or some access issues as she was playing around with access to Sitecore items but it turned out something else and it took couple of hours to figure out what is going on, following are the steps which were performed to troubleshoot the issue. Troubleshooting steps performe...

     Hello Friends, Its been >15 days i did not publish the next chapter as i was traveling on the weekends, but i wanted to make sure i release Part-4 today. Previously we talked about high-level over view of coveo and what are the building blocks of it and what are some of the most important steps we should know before starting on coveo, As i said earlier as coveo has huge documentation and its a big sea of functionalities, but my purpose is to cover a crash course topics and how easily you can get started with coveo. So i am thrilled today as i want to cover the hands on where we will create a search page from scratch and we will see what configurations are involved in that process and how indexing is being done and how ultimately data is being shown on the page from coveo index. Search Page Requirement : I will be creating a simple search page for candidates, so consider a business scenario where i have a huge pool of records in my database where candidates are st...

 Hi Folks, Hope you all are doing just fine and getting yourself vaccinated and staying home, Today i would like to share one information or a scenario which we encountered last week. Scenario We are using Sitecore SXA (Version is not important here as it will same for all), and one of our content author logged a bug that, they neither able to see "Add here" button on specific place holder nor they are able to move the component on the page in different location, Move option was disabled, and they wanted to have a freedom of moving component here and there and also "Add here" is a vital functionality to add component to specific place holders.   Troubleshooting With my surprise as i have never seen this behavior before,  1) I first check their access rights but they had all of needed permissions and they were able to do things normally before. 1) I started looking into place holder restriction and different settings of allowed renderings to see if there are no such ...

Hello There, So, today i will be sharing some information which i think will be useful for many as this might come as a blocker just like me, where i was planning for a next sprint for which i was checking prerequisites and suddenly found out that, Export functionality of SXA is not working properly, it was exporting things but i open the page which was exported (index.html), it was loading without any CSS or JS functioning. Problem I have been using SXA but i never had this issue before, where page or site gets exported but when we open the page, it comes up without CSS or JS functioning properly on the page. So, first thing like any developer i opened up the source of the HTML and tried to see why CSS is not working properly and checked its path and found out following  I was surprised at first point as i never saw this behavior, but one thing was confirmed that, SXA is adding these "-number" at the end of CSS when we export so, i tried to de-assemble the DLL just to see wh...
