In Sitecore 7.0 how to apply rules for resolving bucket folder path?

I installed a fresh Sitecore 7.0 instance on my local. I created an Item bucket. I thought of creating folder structure on the basis on name like pages starting with alphabet should go in a folder named A as the page names are not supposed to change. I found many articles where I found that there are 3 default rules: CreateDateBasedPath, CreateIDBasedPath and CreateItemNameBasedPath. I have following two questions:-

  1. In my Sitecore instance I opened the /sitecore/system/Settings/Buckets/Item Buckets Settings item. I can't see "Rules for Resolving bucket folder path". Am I supposed change any configuration for this or sitecore 7.0 does not support applying rules?
  2. My assumption is CreateItemNameBasedPath will create folder structure as A/Apage and B/Bpage. Is my understanding correct?
Solution

  • Sitecore 7 does not allow using the Rules Engine for bucket folders. That was new in Sitecore 8.

    To change the bucket path you will need to implement a custom BucketFolderPathResolver. There is a good post on how to do that here: http://www.brimit.com/blog/custom-bucket-structure
