Deployment fun with Content Hub
Recently I wrote a bit about one way of showing status of Content Hub State Flows in entity listings. Having worked on that a while ago, I found myself needing to deploy theses changes to production recently - and that brought up a couple of fun problems with using State Flows. Here's some info on what I saw, and how I worked around it:
Entity limit reached! An unexpected Content Hub error?
A brief one this week - but seems like something that it would be good to share: Did you know there can be hard content limits in Content Hub that can stop you working once they're exceeded?
Content Hub alt text in SitecoreAI images
A colleague bumped into an interesting issue with SitecoreAI and Content Hub the other day, and it lead to a fun support conversation. If you're setting up your instance of Content Hub as the DAM for your SitecoreAI site, you might want to have a read...
Asset pickers on your custom entities
If you're creating custom Entities in Content Hub then you're likely going to be setting up some fields which relate to image assets. There is a default picker for these relation fields, but it's not a great editorial experience most of the time. So having worked through how to set up something better, I'm writing it down as a crib-sheet for myself next time. And maybe it will help you too...
Showing workflow state in Content Hub listings
When you have an entity that moves through a State Flow in Content Hub you may well want users to be able to see at a glance where things are in that flow. So here's one way you might set that up to give a nice visual representation in your listings for the entity:
How do I have an image for my Entity?
I've been spending some time setting up some custom Entities in Content Hub recently. I bumped up against an issue with one feature where it took me a while to find the right info to make it work the way I wanted.
How Content Hub can help Sitecore commerce sites
I spoke recently at the London user group, talking about a scenario where you might use Content Hub to help you with OrderCloud projects. Since that presentation didn't get recorded I thought I should write some notes on the core bits of what I said, as this is probably of interest to a wider audience...
Two bits of trivia: Content Types and images in Content Hub
I've been looking at some work related to Content Types in Content Hub recently, and while this is a bit like Data Templates in the good old DXP, I had a couple of things I had to spend time researching as part of this work. So maybe if you're looking at using the CMP features, this might help you understand a couple of quirks too...
Querying product data and images in Content Hub
In a previous post I looked at how you can customise schema for Products in the Product Content Management feature of Content Hub. But getting data in is only half the story - how can we go about getting it back out for use elsewhere in our tech ecosystem? Well the answer is a fun combination of GraphQL and how Content Hub can serve images. Read on for my notes on one approach on configuring all of this:
Customising product data in Content Hub
Content Hub is a product I don't get to use too often, so I find myself digging about a bit to remember the details of some customisation and setup. So having had to do some investigations into how to customise the Product Content Management features recently I figured both myself and search engines might benefit from some notes on the subject for the future. And maybe you will too...
