WCM/RiSE page load times

I've submitted this as an SMR through TS, but I figured I'd get others' input as well. We do have a series of clients on 15.2.x running WCM/RiSE and almost all of them have complained about page load times. Some more loudly than others.

A particular site is continually taking 8-16 seconds to load pages (while they claim it takes upwards of 30 seconds to log in). Another client is taking up to 12 seconds to load pages - other sites running WCM/RiSE are taking 5 seconds to load a page. screenshots from 3 different clients:

Static Machine Key and Session still expire on application pool recycle

Hi,

I posted a comment here --> http://www.imiscommunity.com/imis_15_0_15_1_15_2_performance_degredation#comment-13129

But in case that thread is dead, I'm trying to setup iMIS so that when application pool recycles, users do not loose their session.

From other posts, I've seen recommendation to set machinekey to a statickey and then when application pool recycles, session state won't be lost for the user.

User activity in WCM

We have an application that will be authenticating with the WCM login to provide access to some generated html pages.  We need to be able to keep track of the activity (clicks) on these html pages. In ASP.NET this activity could be captured in a Global.asax page. Since we don't have access to the Global.asax, I was wondering if there is a mechanism in WCM that keeps track of user activity? If not, is there a way to customize the functionality of the Global.asax so we can capture the request event? 

Enabling iMIS Security When Validating User Credentials Against Another Database.

Introduction to Problem:

We had a client who moved to another CRM provider but wanted to manage their website’s content with iMIS WCM. The challenges were 1) validating user credentials against the 3rd party CRM when they log in through iMIS, 2) after validation is successful, activate the iMIS website security and 3) add a record in iMIS when the user exists in the 3rd party CRM but not iMIS.

css query - forest templates

I want to change the social networking icons on the header of our website to include our itunes and youtube pages. Can't find where these are specified in the css files and nothing useful in imis docs.

I've replaced the icons but can't find the html to change. Have looked in stylesheets and master page for the theme.

Anyone know where I can change them.

Thanks,

Rob

Redirecting users after logon but not on the WCM Home page

Using iMIS 15.2.5 and WCM….

Current login functionality using public page http://commerceserver.org/iMIS15/Commerce/Log_On/AsiCommon/Controls/Shar... … once user logs in he/she is being redirected to the home page of WCM.  

We would like them to go the external page http://www.ourdomain.org that is not part of WCM while the home page in WCM is still working =  we don’t want redirect statement on the home page as it will just redirect people to the external page when actually intentionally going to the “home” page.

I found few posts on iMIS communities and tried to play with returnURL and redirect.aspx page, etc. but can’t get this work right.  

Anyone has any ideas how to do this and is willing to share?

Thank you!

Need help changing a Custom iMIS Webpage

We have some custom webpages made by ASI, this one in particular is a list of companies. We want to be able to list their subsidiaries as a compact list. With the code I have currently inserted, which is some simple javascript and then tagged the unordered list id to match the javascript function. Anyway, this insert only works for the first company on the list when you pull up the webpage. My question is, why doesn't this work for every company in the list if they are all output recursivly by this code block? I would appreciate any help or ideas, thank you.

WCM/PV menu modifications

I've been working on a Public View customization and I've run across an issue with the asp:menu control whilst working on the master page. I'm trying to adjust the Display levels in the menu, but whenever I change the settings, I get the following useful error:

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: value
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Master Page Content Area

When using Asi.Web.UI.TemplateGalleryMasterPageBase class, does every template content area need to be defined in a ContentTemplateArea? For example, I would like to have a header logo content area that is the same for the homepage and internal pages. I've created the content area (HeaderLogo), checked that it's part of the site's template gallery design and given the content area the correct template area name (HeaderLogo). Then added it to the template master file using the following code:
