Used to import Database data and Sitecore content into Sitecore. There are three built in data provider types: Sitecore Importer, SQL importer, MySQL Importer and CSV Importer.
The Data Importer consists of "Import Maps" which you build using the content tree to define where the data is pulled from and how to map existing field values to new Item fields. There is also an editor tab on the Import Map item itself that allows you to run the import maps and gives you messaging about errors or if it was successfully imported.

Description:
The Sitecore PowerShell Extensions (SPE) module is a Sitecore development accelerator which can drastically increase your productivity and curtail the amount of time it takes to deliver a Sitecore solution.
The module provides a command line (CLI) and scripting environment (ISE) for automating tasks. SPE works with the Sitecore process, capable of making native calls to the Sitecore API and manipulating files. Running commands and writing scripts follow the standard and well-known Windows PowerShell syntax. Windows PowerShell is a common tool used in IT for desktop and server management, so we decided to stick with that as a framework to build upon.

Description:
This language expansion module was designed to simplify content editing when using a large amount of languages in your Sitecore environments.
When you have multiple sites with different language sets (e.g. a Belgian site in Dutch/French, a Swiss site in fr/de/it and a Danish site in dk/en) or simply a large volume of available languages, managing these languages in Sitecore can become cumbersome.
Sitecore has no out of the box functionality that restricts or manages the languages used per node/site and only offers the languages list to navigate through the available languages. The language list presented by Sitecore comprises of both those with one or more versions as well as those that have no version available or are irrelevant for that context/site.

Description:
Sidekick is a platform in which to serve angularjs apps with a micro-service back-end from within Sitecore. This makes it a flexible and extensible platform to provide highly reactive and responsive single page applications for Sitecore. Some features include:
Resources are delivered from an embedded location in the dll. This makes it so that the installation footprint is extremely small since it ends up simply being a dll and a config file.
Applications may be hidden or shown to specific roles, users, or admin only.
Each application’s stylesheets and javascript are dynamically compiled into a single document to reduce http requests.
The sidekick is available in three contexts, Content Editor, Experience Editor, and Desktop.
Each application is driven from an individual binary as well as an individual configuration file, so individual apps can easilly be removed if they are not desired by removeing the binary and config for the app that’s not desired.

Description:
The module operates off of items created in Sitecore to represent the import csv sheets. These items contain fields that let you configure how the user will be created based on the data in the sheet, as well as define a role and domain to assign the user to. The module is capable of downloading these csv sheets from an external FTP site and updating the users if the sheet is newer than the last time it was processed. The agent (disabled by default) will iterate over the items in the module’s folder to download the sheet and update the users if the sheet is newer each time it runs. Imports can also be initiated manually using a custom ribbon button on the sheet import items from within Sitecore.

A token is a small chunk of text that is dynamically replaced with something else when the rich text field is rendered.

However I’ve devised several more use cases that the TokenManager will be able to accomplish

Description:
The first feature of the Module is to a new Button in the Review Tab of the Content Editor Ribbon. The button looks at the Item in context and loops through its Child Items to determine if any are locked and can be unlocked by the User in Context at that point in time. If that is the case the button is enabled.
From unlocking Child Items it make sense give the option to unlock the Item in Context. However after unlocking the Context Item it runs the uiUnlockItemsChildren pipeline to determine if any suitable Child Items are unlockable and if there are to prompt the user to ask if they should also be unlocked.
Finally for ease of use the Module includes a new Gutter Item – Unlockable Items. As the name suggests if an Item can be unlocked by the User in Context they will see the Key icon in the Gutter.
Clicking the Icon triggers the same pipeline as the Unlock Item ribbon button; unlocking the Item in context, checking for unlockable children and prompting the User to unlock child items if there are any that can be unlocked.

Advanced Content Security
Categories:
Security
Authors:
Natt Mann
Marketplace: Marketplace
Description:
The advanced content security module is a simple open source module designed primarily to handle the ‘restriction’ of Sitecore content. Restriction is a state in between the user being able to read the item (in the Sitecore security sense) and the user not being able to read. This typically manifests itself as a paywall with a call to action instructing the user to sign up or register with your site, but I have already heard of other use cases.
The current features of the module are:
Addition of a ‘Restricted’ permission in the Sitecore Security Editor
Addition of a ‘Rules’ permission in the Sitecore Security Editor
Rules based restriction security
Rules based read security
Addition of a ‘Where the current user is restricted’ rule for use with Conditional Renderings
Automatic switching of content item device to a ‘Restricted’ device, to allow entire page presentation change.
Automatic fallback of ‘Restricted’ device back to ‘Default’ if no layout present.
Rules based user initialisation.

Broken Links – This report is an excellent maintenance tool for finding links that are broken in your application, and is especially useful for maintenance and SEO practices.
Item History – This will show you who has modified an item in the event that you need to audit your content.
Recently Modified – This report will summarize what has been modified in your application within a certain set timeframe -- excellent for reviewing changes in a content update practice.
Not Recently Modified – Similar to above, you can select an area of content and see what has not been updated --- useful if you are in the middle of updating site content and want to ensure nothing is missed.

Description:
Unicorn is a utility for Sitecore that solves the issue of moving templates, renderings, and other database items between Sitecore instances. This becomes problematic when developers have their own local instances - packages are error-prone and tend to be forgotten on the way to production. Unicorn solves this issue by writing serialized copies of Sitecore items to disk along with the code - this way, a copy of the necessary database items for a given codebase accompanies it in source control.
