Developer Center on Sitecore

Question

I am using Sitecore 7.5 and I realized the module called Developer Center has disappeared. On Sitecore 7.2 the module was in Development Tools Section, but in this new version, this module does not exists anymore. Anybody know if there are another module with this functionality or I need to do something to replace it?

Regards

Answer 1

The behaviour that was in Developer Center has largely been replaced by the "Sitecore Rocks" extension for Visual Studio:

It also includes other features, for managing search indexes, looking at merged config files etc.

Based on the comment below, I'd suggest you investigate this marketplace module. It doesn't explicitly say it supports 7.5 (and I don't have an instance available to test it right now) but it's possible that it might work, or that it can be made to work:

Answer 2

Developer Center was discontinued in Sitecore 7.5, but it can be accessed by visiting http://example.com/sitecore/shell/default.aspx?xmlcontrol=IDE
