Sitecore module for database synchronization.
Updating Sitecore content manually is really painful when you have to do it very often. That is why I've decided to create tool which will do it automatically.
Forget about times when you had to dig deep inside content tree to update/revert single item.
Items will be updated/reverted each time you reload an application or execute the following piece of code DatabaseSynchronizer.SynchronizeDatabase();
List of items that should be updated/reverted are delivered via changes provider.
At the moment module provides only basic changes provider used to update items. It is called BasicProvider and it returns list of files that are located in Data/serialization folder.
Current provider is just an example and doesn't contains any smart logic, so all items from the serialization folder will be updated/reverted when synchronization will take place.
You can easily implement your own provider.
1 Create new class library project
2 Crete new class and implement IDatabaseSyncChangesProvider interface
All you have to do is to provide list of items that were changed since last time. Returned objects type below:
public class ItemChange
{
public string Database { get; set; }
public string SitecorePath { get; set; }
}Example values
string SitecorePath = "/sitecore/content/Home";
string Database = "master";
3 Override existing configuration with your provider
<sitecore>
<databaseSync>
<patch:delete />
</databaseSync>
<databaseSync>
<changesProvider type="Sitecore.DatabaseSync.Providers.Custom, Sitecore.DatabaseSync.CustomProviders"/>
</databaseSync>
</sitecore>
</configuration>Standard Sitecore rules to extend/modify existing code
There is a pipeline called SynchronizeDatabase.
Implement your own processor using IDataSyncPipelineProcessor interface and override existing processor or just add it to extend existing pipeline.
