ItemNamingRules

Sitecore-ItemNamingRules is a module that extends the Sitecore Rules Engine to automate and enforce consistent item naming conventions. It allows administrators to define specific naming rules for different branches of the content tree, ensuring content integrity and reducing manual errors.

Key Features

• Layout-Based Conditions — Trigger rules based on whether an item has layout details for any device or the default device.
• Character Replacement — Replace invalid characters in item names using regular expressions and custom replacement strings.
• Length Control — Restrict the maximum length of item names and ensure a minimum length.
• Uniqueness Enforcement — Guarantee unique item keys (names) within a parent, automatically appending a datestamp if needed.
• Format Standardization — Automatically lowercase item names and merge sequences of invalid characters.
• Branch-Specific Rules — Apply different naming conventions to different sections of the content tree.

Philosophy

The project emphasizes automation and consistency, allowing Sitecore administrators to enforce naming policies directly through the native Rules Engine rather than relying on global settings or manual oversight.
