    Orchard Core CMS has a number of built-in TextField editors: Standard, Multi-line, Icon Picker, and Predefined List.

     11/15/2018 6:52:00 PM

    GraphQL was recently added to Orchard Core CMS and I have been eager to try it out. Turns out the development team made this really easy to try by including GraphiQL in the Orchard Core Administrator Dashboard. GraphiQL is a graphical interactive in-browser GraphQL IDE that allows developers to easily create and experiment with various queries without having to use the API. In this tutorial I...

  • Develop a Custom Widget In Orchard Core CMS

     10/23/2018 10:53:15 AM

    I'm really excited about this next tutorial where I demonstrate one way to develop a custom widget for Orchard Core CMS. Again, we will be using The Blog Theme since it ships with Orchard Core. This is the 3rd part of a series on theme development in Orchard Core.

  • Adding a New Zone to The Blog Theme Layout in Orchard Core CMS

     10/20/2018 1:14:00 PM

This was accomplished by adding a new Media Field to the Article Content Type and overriding the existing template to display the chosen background image. I want to continue this idea by adding a new zone to the layout of The Blog Theme. This will provide more...

     10/18/2018 10:01:00 PM

In addition to a blog, the setup recipe also creates a custom content type, called Article. There is something about each article that I would like to change, however. Every article has the same (hardcoded) background...
