Sitecore 10 – expanding dynamic link with non-default url options.
Wasn’t entirely obvious how to go about this, but the scenario was that rich text content needed to be both expanded to convert links in the style ~/links.aspx?id=123456 into proper paths AND also include the server hostname rather than just root relative links.

Cisco AnyConnect VPN client fails to start due to Fiddler Certificates
After months or even years of working fairly flawlessly, my Cisco AnyConnect Mobility VPN client started to quit on startup. No message is shown, it just disappears.

Filtering search on folder path with Sitecore Contentsearch API
Using the new Sitecore contentsearch api allows you search against a lucene index with very little effort. Examples are a bit short on the ground but using Linq you can find yourself doing something like this to search for an item by name, somewhere within a folder structure: public void BadSearch(string searchTerm) { var webIndex…

Sitecore – Data at the root level is invalid
This XmlException can occur within a Sitecore site where a general link field contains just plain text, for example a template flipped from link field to text field or just editing in raw. Clear the field and re-populate with a valid target.
