In Sitecore 6, is there a way to deep link into the content editor? I'd like to bookmark something like
https://mysite.com/sitecore/shell/Applications/Content%20editor.aspx?item=/sitecore/Content/Data/foo
And have that bookmark go directly to that item in the content editor. Any ideas?
What you need to do is to use the fo parameter and item id instead of path, e.g.:
http://localhost/sitecore/shell/Applications/Content%20Editor.aspx?fo={4142d44b-2237-4795-b219-85e70420fced}
The ro QueryString parameter works, somewhat; for example: https://mysite.com/sitecore/shell/Applications/Content%20editor.aspx?ro=/sitecore/Content/Data/foo works, except it puts that item at the root of the content editor.
Anyone know how to show the whole tree with the specified item open?

In my content tree, I have "Folder" items that have no presentation, but have all the insert options on them. How would you be able to use the "Insert Page" button in the ribbon to insert a new content item in the right part of the tree?
For Example:
I have my home page Content(Folder)/Home.item
All of my insert options are on Content(Folder), how do I add a new Home.item type without nesting it under Home.item?
In order to be able to use the Insert Page button, the item you are inserting under must have Presentation defined. It doesn't need to have components added, and I've worked round this before by simply define a "blank" layout and setting it on those items. Maybe create yourself a new template (inheriting from Folder) and then set Layout on that. But, this is a workaround at best. You can only "Insert Page" below the current page you are on, so you would essentially have to navigate to a blank page in order to create the sibling.
From what you have stated, it sounds like you may want to re-think where your Insert Options have been set and your content structure, i.e. why would you want create another Home item? Creating so will require set-up of another <site> and related config. You probably also want to separate those sites out with other settings, there is some good example of multi-site structure in this blog post. If you go down this route look into using Branch Templates. But, difficult to know what you are doing without context...

The problem is that most likely the article you are trying to link to does not have a corresponding menu item associated with it. The problem comes from itemID inheritance. When you don't have a specific menu item for an article, it then inherits the itemID from its parent category. By commenting out the lines in router.php, you are stopping this from happening so the article will not have an itemID and cause a 404 error. You either need to create a menu item directly to the item (which would eliminated the itemID to begin with) or you need to create a menu item for the parent category. In either case, you can put it in a new menu that is not displayed in any modules.
I'm creating localizations--in Spanish and Chinese--for a Sitecore site. The original language is English. I've learned how to create my language-specific versions of pages. But I don't know how to change the names of the the navigation items themselves. When I preview my pages in Spanish (http://content.example.com/?sc_lang=es), for example, the page content is in Spanish, but the navigation items themselves (e.g. Home, About, Products, etc.) are still in English. Where in the Content or Page editors do I fix that?
You need to modify the "display name" of the item in the Home ribbon. Be aware that this also affects the url of the item For the chosen language.
Edit: maybe I was too quick with my answer, I probably overread something cause my suggestion changes the Url (if you have the setting "useDisplayName=true" like jammykam corrected) and the name of the item in the content tree for the specific language.
If your the names displayed in the navigation is based on the Item names, then can do as I suggested, change the display item's name for the current language and make the code look at the display name inestead of the item name.
Another option is to use a separate field for the menu-title in case you want your titles to differ from your url's.
When you say the navigation items themselves are in still in English, what do you mean? As in, the menu running along the top of the page?
If so, then you need to figure out where in the content tree those items are and then add in the relevant language versions/translations, and make sure they are not "shared" content.
#Martijn, I believe it only affects the URL is you set "useDisplayName=true" in the linkManager setting in config.
We usually add a field called MenuTitle to the base content template and then instruct our navigation controls to read from that field
For menus, we generally use a different field for the page's title and the page's navigation title. This allows for a shorter version to be specified by the author for the menu.
Once you have that, you just need to make sure you build code in your header control to find the target item of the menu link (I assume it's a general link, or some other Item reference) and pull the target item's navigation title.
When the code does this, it should automatically pull the version of that target item based on the current language, which will mean you will get your navigation title in the correct language.
Looking at a scenario in which a content editor would create a new content item based off of a template. In other words if I create a content item based off of a car template, I would like to add a folder called 'Options' under the new car item.
As a content editor I could then add various options from the insert command on the folder.
Can this be done and if so how?
This is a textbook description of a Sitecore Branch Template which can contain anything from a single item to a complex hierarchy of sub-items with their own set of standard-values and insert options. See chapter 3 of the Data Definition Cookbook for how to set these up.
I purchased a template / theme from RocketTheme, but I can't figure out how to add content at a specific position.
The templates have "module positions" that collapse. I'd like to add some content at one of the module positions.
If I add articles, they seem to go into "mainbody". But I'd like to have content in other areas of the template.
How do I take some text, images, or other content, and get them to display in these other positions (i.e., TOP-A, or FEATURE-A, etc)?
I've tried this
Go to Extensions->Module Manager
Select "New", Select "Sections"
Under "Details", I select Position->Top-A
I give it a title.
Nothing seems to happen. I don't see anything new exposed in the admin UI, and I don't see a way to get any content into this newly defined section. What am I not understanding?
go to JED and look up html in module or content in module or content in component there are a bunch of them. http://extensions.joomla.org/search?q=module+content&start=20
Essentially
you create and save an article. Make sure it is saved to a section or category on your menu
open the module one of the paramaters will ask for the article id...decide which position and which pages you want it on and then publish.
You can also get modules that will take some or all of your articles in a category and then show them either as a slidedhow or one randomly when someone visits the page
