Sitecore

In Sitecore Content Hub, definitions are blueprints that structure and classify content entities like assets, contracts, and products. They let you customize metadata, add relationships, properties, and constraints, and either extend built-in definitions (e.g., M.Asset, M.Collection, M.Content ) or create new ones based on project needs. This guide explains how to create new definitions and when they’re required We will see, how one can create its own custom definition in content hub according to business need with an example. Let’s walk through a real-world example of creating a new definition for Marketing Campaigns. In this use case, we will build a custom definition that allows your organization to track marketing campaigns with attributes like CampaignName, StartDate, EndDate, Location, MarketingAssets and CampaignStatusActive Step 1: Creating New Definition Log in to your Sitecore Content Hub instance, navigate to Manage, then search for Schema. Click on Schema, and you’ll se...

In this blog, we’ll explore how to customize the build-time behavior during Static Site Generation (SSG) in an XM Cloud–based application. As you may know, most of our pages are statically generated during the frontend build process and are then served from Vercel's servers or CDN. This significantly boosts page load speed and improves overall site performance. But the key question is — how can we customize this process? Often, we have pages in the CMS that are quite old — for example, blog posts that were published 10 years ago. The goal is to exclude such outdated pages from the SSG process by omitting their routes during build time. As a result, these pages won’t be pre-rendered; instead, they will be generated on-demand when a user requests them, allowing the server to handle the rendering dynamically.We will divide this blog into 2 part. Part 1: First part will be how to get the pages that we want to exlude and store it some where. Part 2: Pass these list of pages to grap...

Hello everyone, In this blog, we will see a pratical use case of reading RSS feed and creating the respective items in Sitecore XM Cloud. To accomplish the task, we will use Logic App, an API created in Next JS and lastly calling the Authoring API to execute mutation query for Item Creation in Sitecore. Let's divide the process into 2 parts: Logic App : This will mostly focus on fetching the feed from RSS, performing transformation, storing the result in array of json object and pushing the data to next js api endpoint. Next JS API Development : This will take care of calling the authoring api of XM Cloud instance and performing the create item mutation query on the recieved data from Logic App. Logic App Azure Logic App is a cloud-based service provided by Microsoft Azure that allows you to automate workflows and integrate applications, data, services, and systems without writing complex code. It enables you to create automated workflows visually through...
