  • A DD4T.net Implementation - Navigation

    noreply@blogger.com (Mihai Cădariu)
     
    Most of the websites I have worked on already existed before upgrading them to DD4T. This means the navigation has already been implemented, usually as means of publishing an XML file from Tridion (most always called navigation.xml ;-) ), and then rendered...

  • A DD4T.net Implementation - Taxonomy Performance Issues

    noreply@blogger.com (Mihai Cădariu)
     
    Retrieving Classified Items for Multiple Keywords My intention when retrieving the classified items for a taxonomy is to resolve the entire taxonomy (i.e. all its keywords) first, and then cache it. This way, retrieving the related content for a given...

  • SDL Tridion (SDL Web): Bundles

    Chris
     
    Bundles, until recently, had mostly escaped me. I’d had no reason to use them, and had not made the effort to investigate them. Recently all that changed. I decided it was time to look into Bundles and how they could benefit my implementation. Before...

    In a previous post, I presented the Taxonomy Factory and a way of retrieving taxonomies and keywords from Tridion. In this post, I will present more functionality about retrieving content tagged against a certain Keyword. string [] GetRelatedContent ...

  • Translation Mananger (TMS) Plugin to Translate the Components on Pages

    Chris
     
    When you start a translation in SDL Tridion on a Page, you are given the option to “translate components”. However, this option will translate those components in the same location as the page, the current (context) Publication. The solution to this...

    paceaux
     
    This is a continuation of a previous post that I wrote, entitled Front-end for the Middle: Focus and Design. Previously, we established that it’s better for a front-end developer to be focused on content, rather than design. In this post, we’re going...

  • Front-end for the Middle: Coding and CMSing for Relationships

    paceaux
     
    This is part three of a series called “Front-end for the Middle”. Honestly, I didn’t mean to write three posts. But when one post is over 2,000 words without being finished, it’s time to get slicing. Previously, we’ve talked about directing a front-end...

    A few months back I had the opportunity to present at the Tridion Developer Summit in Amsterdam. Gino Toro, (former) product manager for Media Manager was going to be speaking on Media Manager, so I decided to try a different topic. After debating on...
