Recently, we encountered an instance where we need to copy a particular field value from Sitecore Web database to Master database in a peculiar case.    I wrote a simple PowerShell script which did the trick. Here is the script and the same can be modified on the case to case basis. Here are the steps.  1.Filter and select the Sitecore items based on a template id for particular type of items from both master database and web database. 2. Loop through the list and find a matching item based on the item id from Master DB and Web DB. 3. Edit the match which common in both the database. $pagetempId='{349F8A57-BA39-42DD-A82F-671641D05812}' $path="/sitecore/content/MySite/Press/News" $itemsmaster=Get-ChildItem master:$path -recurse | where-object { $_.'TemplateId' -eq $pagetempId} $itemsweb=Get-ChildItem web:$path -recurse | where-object { $_.'TemplateId' -eq $pagetempId} foreach($itemweb in $itemsweb) {   foreach($itemmaster in $itemsm...

Recently, we had situation where for one of our WFFM form (Contact Us form) Save Form Data To Storage was unchecked by mistake and published unknowingly by one of our content admin. This we noticed after few days. Between this period, data stopped storing into reporting database and reports were not showing data for the latest submissions in WFFM form reports. Regarding the same, just wanted to document our options and approaches which we thought and recovered the data for this period. In Sitecore 8.1, it is possible to configure WFFM data storage in different ways (using SQL or Mongo providers). It is also possible to collect WFFM data with analytics disabled. Querying Mongo DB : Since the "Save Form Data To Storage" field has been unchecked, the data was not saved to reporting DB. However, it can still be found in analytics MongoDB, in the "interactions" section. Unfortunately, writing these values to reporting table is a very nontrivial task and it w...

Experience editor not working for Sitecore with SXA 1.4. It just shows "An error occurred" whenever we open a page in Experience editor. Probable Reason:  While investigating this issue on SXA, found that SXA replaces the Sitecore’s default processor  Sitecore.Pipelines.RenderField.RenderWebEditing  with  Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Editing.Pipelines.RenderField.RenderWebEditing  which is causing the issue and making the content not editable in Experience Editor.  Solution:  This is working after disabling the processor <processor patch:instead="*[@type='Sitecore.Pipelines.RenderField.RenderWebEditing, Sitecore.Kernel']" type="Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Editing.Pipelines.RenderField.RenderWebEditing, Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Editing"/>  in Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Editing.config file. Found that experience editor is working for both normal sitecore page as well as SXA page. But sitecore also provided a hot fix for this issue in the suppor...
