Challenge:

In Multi-Site Sitecore solution we allow user to load any site in Experience Editor with any Sitecore Site URL. We also provide an option to the user to create Sites on the fly. The problem we were facing was during Experience Editor. In Experience Editor you can make use of query string and get the Item based on sc_itemid. That was working absolutely fine. Now we provided an option to a user in Ribbon to change the color. Every Custom Site that user creates on the fly – each have their own fields to change the color.  We were not getting the correct site because Webutil was providing the below information.

Sitecore.Web.WebUtil.GetRawUrl(): “/-/speak/request/v1/expeditor/ExperienceEditor.GenerateFieldUrl”

Speak Request URL: http://sc8.com:80/-/speak/request/v1/expeditor/ExperienceEditor.GenerateFieldUrl

Now in this request you don’t get sc_itemid – we wanted to get the actual item id (sc_itemid) based on the current Site which user has loaded in Experience Editor, so that we can show/load the correct option to change the color.

Hello Folks,I have been working on Google Product Feed in one of the Project.

What is Google Product Feed?

It is a feed in XML Format which we can submit to google for listing the products in Google Shopping Tab.

A google product feed xml file has list of product which use groupings of attributes that define each product in a unique way. Attributes, such as ‘condition’ and ‘availability’, can have standardized values, or accepted “answers,” or attributes can be open to fill with your own choice of value, such as ‘id’ or ‘title’. Accurately describing items using these attributes allows users to search and find your items more easily.
