How to handle scenario where we want to use related interfaces, but have a common interface within an abstract class?
Public Interface IBrewCoffeee
{
void DoSomething;
}
Public Interface IStarbucksBrewsCoffee
{
void DoSomething;
void DoSomething1;
void DoSomething2;

Checking Sitecore field type via FieldTypeManager.GetField()
var field = item.Fields[_fieldId];
var type = FieldTypeManager.GetField(field);
if (type is LinkField)
{
...
}
if (type is InternalLinkField) // such as drop tree controls
{

Web forms for marketers redirect assumes the success page is relative to the form item in the tree (template: /sitecore/templates/Web Forms for Marketers/Form). When this is not the case, wffm builds a redirect URL which is not valid. Since the success page is defined using a general link field, we don't have a Guid to lookup the actual success …
/*
Extends: Sitecore.Form.Core.Pipelines.FormSubmit
forms.config needs to be updated to:
<successAction>
<processor type="MyCustom.Pipelines.SuccessRedirect, MyLibrary"/>
<processor type="Sitecore.Form.Core.Pipelines.FormSubmit.FormatSuccessMessage, Sitecore.Forms.Core"/>
</successAction>

Move a rendering
// Move renderings example usage
var rendering = device.Renderings.Cast<RenderingDefinition>().SingleOrDefault(r => r.ItemID == MyRenderingId);
device.MoveRenderingUp(rendering);
item[Sitecore.FieldIDs.LayoutField] = layoutDefinition.ToXml();
// DeviceDefinition Extensions
public static class DeviceDefinitionExtensions
{
public static void MoveRenderingDown(this DeviceDefinition deviceDefinition, RenderingDefinition renderingDefinition)
