I am working with sitecore and now i needs to hide some of the content item in sitcore.what is the process to hide the content'
Why do you want to hide and what do you want to hide?
You could probably setup security to only allow people with certain roles to read, write, etc certain items (and subitems) or setup that only certain roles can see certain fields.
You can probably find most of what you need here:
http://sdn.sitecore.net/Reference/Sitecore%206/Security%20Administrator%20Cookbook.aspx
Otherwise give an example of what you want to do, it might be easier to help then.
If you want to hide from a role or a user, you can setup permissions accordingly to do so. Please specify the requirement.
Perhaps not exactly what you need, but it's not really clear. You can hide items from regular (= non-admin) users by setting the checkbox Hidden as such, which can be found in the Appearance section of your item. When hidden, your items will be displayed in grey and italic in the item tree for administrators, and totally non-visible to users. Note that if you cannot find the section, you need to enable the Standard Fields under View in the ribbon.
Of course this field is also accessible via the API by any of these two means:
item.Appearance.Hidden = true; // Or false.
item[Sitecore.FieldIDs.Hidden] = "1"; // Or string.Empty.
Hide items from non admin users by using 'Hide Item' button in configure ribbon.
Protect items from non admin users by using 'Protect Item' button in configure ribbon.

I'm using REDMINE.
I have a list of projects on the screen.
Is it possible to add details of the ticket content to this screen?
I'd like to look over the screen at once instead of clicking with the mouse, how do I do that?
Also, if you have any plugins or useful tips and so on, please let me know.
Tamazawa, I believe you might be referring to "My Page" of Redmine where you could use widgets to decide what you see on that dashboard - keep in mind that such dashboard s project independent, so it can display issues from many projects that you are a member of on 1 screen.
For instance from My Page, you should be able to select an "Issues" widget to Add and set it up to pull a list of items to display using a saved custom query.
That should give you a snapshot of tasks at hand, without the need to click around the screen too much.
You may need to set up your saved query such that:
Description and / or
Last notes
are checked (if you want to see issues at a glance, without the need to open each one separately).
Alternatively, you can skip that "My Page" idea altogether, if you're ok with just opening a saved query with Description and / or Last notes selected.
So I am rather new to sitecore, and it's a topic that wasn't covered during my training. My questions is just to help point me to the correct term, or documentation on a method to do the following.
I have a definition item, with a ton of field groups, what I want to do is something like:
if Value of Field X is "yes" then collapse/hide Field X or Field Group X.
Does that make sense? Is it a validation rule? or some other kind of rules, is it a workflow I need to attach? Do you place it on just the field I want to hide, or the field that triggers the action?
I appreciate any guidance.
There is nothing out-of-the-box in Sitecore to achieve what you want but there is no reason you cannot create a composite custom field type to do this. The following articles will help you achieve this:
Creating a custom Sitecore Field
Getting to Know Sitecore: Custom Fields, Part 1
Create a new control, inheriting either from Droplist (if the comparison of the value is to be text based) or Droplink (for comparison of ID). You could add a parameter in the Source field of the control to specify what the values that trigger the hide should be.
The underlying control in the Content Editor is just a standard HTML select element. Add onchange events to the control and add your Javascript handler to hide the other controls. Since I could not find a way of adding additional custom css classes to the Sitecore controls, it would be best/easiest to hide all other controls in the same collapsible group after you control. This would mean you would need to group your controls better (or logically at least).
The Javascript will be something like this (the Content Editor uses the Prototype JS framework):
if ($(this).getValue() == 'no') {
// find the parent container of this control and then hide all the next siblings in the same group
$(this).up('.scEditorFieldMarker').nextSiblings('.scEditorFieldMarker').invoke('hide');
}
You can test this by running the above in the console, change out the keyword this with the id of your field, e.g. $('FIELD2292054').
What I am not sure about is how to trigger the hide on initial load, i.e. when someone returns to an existing item, it may be possible by adding to one of the pipelines, but would be better using a JS solution if possible. I'll have a think about this and get a proper code sample up over the next few days.
EDIT: You can add an event handler to sc:contenteditorupdated to handle the content editor being rel-oaded.
document.observe("sc:contenteditorupdated", myFunction);
I wrote up a blog post and put the code on GitHub if you are interested.
Not sure if you have come across Andy Uzick's this blog post.
He wisely talks about hiding fields in the Content Editor and has also created a Sitecore Module called Hide Field Template Extension which is hosted on the Sitecore Marketplace with the full source code to extend.
After reading through and trying the extension, I do feel that it will not completely resolve your issue (how you have described it in the question).
But it will give you:
A mid-term solution to hide a few unnecessary field that some content editors would not like to view.
Fields that are only required by administrators for admin purpose - to de-clutter these fields could be hidden.
Just one thing to bear in mind that it mentions in the requirements Sitecore 6.5 & 6.6. I have not tested it in Sitecore 7. If you are using Sitecore 7, which I think you are, one could modify the source code and make it work for Sitecore 7.
Have a look and share your findings.
Happy Sitecoring!
Not fully used personalisaiton yet, so have what I hope is an easy question.
My page is setup where users can use a droplink to pick content for 3 "slots" on the homepage, from a "bucket" of available content items that can appear.
I want to use a "rule" to show different items in each slot, depending on if the rule is met or not, but I can't seem to work out where I set this.
Right now, my page editor view is broken (currently have an open ticket with Sitecore for work out why this is), so I am hoping this can be done from the content editor.
I have already ticked the "Show the Personalization Section" under Application Options.
This sounds like a conditional rendering rule that you're wanting to create. If that is the case, unless you want to apply the rule to ALL renderings (which I wouldn't recommend), you would create the rule under
System -> Marketing Center -> Personalization -> Rules. Here you can set up a conditional rendering rule that will check conditions and then do something. Since this is going to apply to presentation, the actions are limited. Mostly to presentation.
Now to apply that, you go to the layout details on the item or the standard values for the item template. When you click on the rendering (like you would to set a data source), it brings you to the edit screen and you should be able to scroll down to the Personalization section. If your rule is not in the list, then it's most likely in the wrong place. Anyway, if it's there, you simply put a check next to that box and it will now apply that rule when figuring out the layout details when the item is rendered.
I need to specify a predefined text in the textarea that pops up when you click "like". How can I do that? (I am not talking about the description that you can set with og:description).
that section of the post is populated with a built-in like (from your app).
I don't think that there is a way to add text to a facebook like, unless the person who shares it wants to add a comment. If your app has special API privileges then you can probably add a personalized message. For that though, you have to apply and applications are closed at the moment. I hope this helps.
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.
