I’ve just read Julian Wraith’s new blog post showcasing the visual highlights of Tridion 2011.
Whilst Tridion 2009 had a visually enhanced content manager interface (GUI), this was merely a new lick of CSS to give the GUI a visual refresh over Tridion 5.X versions.
I’ve just recently written a script which imported a load of content from flat files into Tridion. Using the flat files, the script creates the various folders, pages and components etc that it needed. Unfortunately I cannot share the code as the client contract permits me to do (plus it was a throw-away tool written specifically around the format of the import data) but I can share a couple of titbits that I learnt about item naming and WebDAV lengths.
One of the search terms entered to find this website reads “sample code to delete keywords in tridion”, which I do have a vb script for.
Obtaining an item from the Tridion database can either be done via Tridion TCM ID, or using the item webdav path. The latter is always the safest bet in the event the item has been deleted and recreated or the code is being moved over different environments but if the item name contains special characters you’ll need a resource which lists what they are .

Within Tridion, should you need to delete a publication you need to ensure the following:
Normally it’s a simple case of un-publishing everything you need, removing these dependencies then away you go.
