sitecore create new content disabled Issue

 There are scenarios where on Sitecore Experience editor or from Page's presentation details - Associated Content Popup, for particular rendering will see Create new Content is disabled.

To resolve above issue, I found that if we did setup Datasource template on rendering more than one. Then above feature will automatically disable.

Because if we have more than one type of template for data item to be selected on rendering. Then Sitecore will get confused that after click Create New Content, which type of data item will created.


Note: Please make sure only one type of template path set on Rendering's Datasource Template field.

Sitecore order cloud certification strategy and planning

Last week I just completed my Sitecore order cloud Certification. 

Objective of this article is about to share learning order cloud and information, pre-planning and strategy for Sitecore order cloud Certification Exam.

Preparation I personally did not felt difficulty regarding content, topics and practice platform to learn Sitecore order cloud or for exam material.

I just went though Sitecore Order Cloud e-learning course and Order Cloud Portal and that's enough for both learning and exam.

For me it took approx. 3 days to learn and practice with API. 

Topics 

• I would suggest to first understand order cloud terminologies
• About Sandbox Base API URL, Region and other properties.
• About User Context: Shared, API Client
• About Buyer organization and Buyer mapping with API practice
• About Buyer, Seller, Supplier and order Flow
• About Product and Price schedule mapping with API practice
• About B2B and B2C scenario from e-learning Portal
• Data flow on Sandbox during development
• Get User list, Buyers list and Product List using API.
• Add/Remove/Update products from Catalog or categories or from User group.
• Workflow: Password, Client, Refresh and Elevated with example from API call.
• Refresh workflow benefits and example.
• Marketplace scenario, how can work with Parallel marketplace.
• Reseller scenario and flow.
• In which scenarios, Product not used to visible.
• How actually webbook works. example and scenarios.

Strategy

• Few questions will be scenarios based - like discount calculations or products on live Site - that I felt after course completion and with practice easily answerable.
• Noticed not many multi-choice questions - so less complex as compare to previous exam.
• Questions are very related and if practiced or worked - easily can answer.
• All content, official documentations and API details, possible API parameters - properly mentioned and shared.

I would highly recommend to at-least learn order cloud, if not planning for Certification or Exam. Best to have.

Good luck for yours...
