Sitecore

Making some progress on this video blogging thing. Windows Live Movie Maker at least gives me a title screen and a quicker upload. Tonight: What happens in the Neighborhoods of Boston, stays in the Neighborhoods of Boston.

Great webinar! And big thanks for the Code.

I'm currently on the verge of starting a new project, where the Page Editor will be heavily used by content editors. With Insert options which should be based upon roles etc...

Still I am in the middle of deciding whether or not to use your approach of Item save events or going the John West way (through the Rules Engine) of storing the datasource as Guids (ID) and not as path (which is default).

The advantage of John's approach is I think when you have legacy renderings which already have path's as a datasource stored. So you can run the rule over and over again.

Will need to watch the webinar again to get a full understanding now that you posted the code.

Keep up the good work!

gr,

We have an instance that uses a custom SSO and we carry along a large amount of session related information and as such we have to specifically kill access to the site when logged into the sitecore domain so getting the debugger working hasn't been very successful. This looks like it might be exactly what the doctor ordered (you file dropped in nicely, I'll see about extending it).
Nick Wesselman wrote: Hi Kevin,

Yes those changes are included in the demo code above. Basically, in the DataItem property we do a check as to whether the item is null. If it is, we set _sublayout.Visible = false. I'd also consider checking whether Versions.Count > 0 on the data item as well, especially if you are using workflow or language layers.
