Sitecore site definition viewer admin page

I wrote a blog about Sitecore site definition inheritance here. To view the Site definition properties after it inherits the properties from the parent site definition, I created a very simple admin page. 😊 

• This admin page can be simply deployed to the /sitecore/admin folder. 
• There is no custom assembly needed. 
• Similar to other admin pages, this page can be accessed only if the user is an admin and authenticated. 

You can download it here.  

Sitecore Task Initiator - A simple module to initiate the scheduled task

This module helps Sitecore Administrator to initiate the scheduled tasks configured in the content tree. The module has a Sitecore Scheduled Job admin page and a Sitecore Role. Admin page will list down all the tasks in the content tree with a button to initiate the task. Sitecore role is for the Sitecore administrator who can add a user to this role by which user can initiate the Task.

Installation:

Use Sitecore Installation Wizard to install the package which contains an admin page and a Sitecore role. Download Link.

How to access the page:

Authorized user can access the page using the below url.

http://domain/sitecore/admin/jobs.aspx

How to authorize a non-admin user:

All administrator can access the page without any role. For a non-admin user, an administrator can add them to the role - Sitecore Task Initiator. This role will allow the non-admin user to access the page and initiate the task.

Note: This role will not give any access to other admin pages.

Email:

An email will be sent to the list of configured administrators with the task details and initiation time. Administrator can configure the email details in the jobs.aspx page.

MAIL_FROM = "ScheduledJob@SitecoreSharedSource.com";

MAIL_TO = "";

MAIL_CC = "";

In version 2.0, I am planning to add the below functionality.

- Logs for the tasks can be obtained in admin page.

- Logs will be sent to the initiator and the admin.
