Great idea! How about multi-edit similar to what’s available in Rocks? You could leverage FieldEditor’s UI for that…

Great tool. This is one of those simple, but powerful features which will increase productivity significantly.
Another few ideas, – some could be covered by Alex multi-edit idea, could be:
* Set publishing date(s)
* Archive
* Set workflow and state -

Great article guys. This really helped to crystalise my approach for the impending barfoot (Sitecore) site redesign. We deal in large amounts of heavy media all the time, listing photos, video, floorplans etc so this has been on my todo list for some time. Thanks for sharing your approach.

This is very nice tutorial of lazy loading. I always thought that I need a bigger capacity from web hosting so that I could be able to build a website, which includes a large amount of images and text. Maybe I should try it so that my website could benefit from this tip too.

Very nice, I’m not so happy with the webservice part, I’ve always disliked wcf specially writing restful services with wcf …. I’m trying to implement that part with mvc inside sitecore. Restful webservices are so intuitive an elegant in mvc that I think it’s the way to go in this case.

How to Improve Code Reusability Using C# Delegates
Delegates are a powerful, functional language feature of C# that are heavily utilized but rarely implemented by most developers who are not familiar of the advantages they give you. Similar to function pointers in C/C++, delegates in C# allow you … Continue reading

Very interesting! Your use of delegates reminds me of the Strategy Pattern, but allows for much quicker and more concise implementation for “simpler” strategies because the developer doesn’t have to implement a whole interface which describes the “small” strategy and entire subclasses to implement the strategy. It’s definitely going into my repertoire of C# programming techniques.
I hope you don’t mind that I nitpick a little, and do correct me if I’m wrong, but I found your statement that “delegates in C# allow you to assign a type to a particular method signature” left me a little confused for a bit because “method signature” typically refers to the method’s name, order of parameters, and type of parameters. However, it seems the delegates assign not only the order and type of parameters but also the return type of the function, and it does not assign it a name. For me who doesn’t have much experience using delegates, it would have been much clearer to say “delegates in C# allow you to assign a method type to a particular order and type of parameters and return type”, so I wouldn’t mistakenly believe delegates restrict the method name.

I really like this plugin. I’ve been playing with it a little the past day or two. Any idea on a timeline when all these future features may be incorporated?
I’m glad you like it, Ryan.
I’m fitting development in around my regular work schedule, so it will definitely be a while before I get to everything on my list.
What I’m most interested in tackling next is the automatic sync of content.
Is there a particular feature that you’re looking to see tackled?
Great Work … What version of vault plugin are you using for this ?
Yogesh, this plugin does not depend on vault at all. You can use it with vault if you wish, but it connects to CQ5 through the JCR API directly.
