Sitecore 9 U1

I have stood up a new instance of Habitat Home using this link and this repo. I am not crazy familiar with SXA. I can edit/preview the pages without issue, but when I try and view the site anonymously, I get the below error on every page. Full stack trace here.

It feels like it is related to the site config. I have updated and tinkered with it in SXA and gone as far as creating a traditional site config via a patch file, but no go.

Any thoughts?

Server Error in '/' Application.
Invalid item path in XA.Foundation.Presentation.PartialDesignDynamicPlaceholderRendering

  • I take it you have tried the obvious, and published everything?

  • @jammykam yup, published, rebuilt all indexes, iisreset, all the normal stuff. Whenever I see editor works, anonymous doesn't. Its always the site config. But SXA has the custom site provider. Not sure how to debug it. I remember at some point there was an admin section that would list the sites configured.

  • So did you create the Site using SXA way or you go with traditional side definition in the config file (it's not 100% clear to me from your post)?

  • @DawidRutkowski it was created via unicorn sync.

Reset to default

This exception happens if the following item cannot be found

ID:

{455948A7-9860-4312-B818-994E723E8B9A}

Path: 

/sitecore/layout/Renderings/Foundation/Experience Accelerator/Dynamic Placeholders/PartialDesign Dynamic Placeholder

Setting in the config where the ID comes from.

<setting name="XA.Foundation.Presentation.PartialDesignDynamicPlaceholderRendering" value="{455948A7-9860-4312-B818-994E723E8B9A}" patch:source="Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Presentation.config"/>

Check if you got this rendering in your database because it looks like it is not there. Or at least not in a database of your context item (during the request)

  • This item was in the master DB and not web. I had to republish it to get it into the web DB. But you are right, this solved that error. Thanks.

    @ChrisAuer That was the first question under your post - did you published everything:D

  • I know I know :). I just did think of a full republish was needed. Still fighting with this site.
