Orchard Core updatesSort user roles alphabetically in the admin UIGeorg von Kries made this change to ensure that user roles are consistently displayed in alphabetical order across the admin interface. This affects role filters, user edit forms, and user role displays, improving usability and readability. Let's see some samples for this!

Sending form submissions to external systemsIn this example, a visitor submits a contact form on an Orchard Core website. An Orchard Core workflow automatically sends the submitted form data to an external webhook endpoint. From there, the automation platform handles the next steps, such as sending a notification, updating a CRM, or triggering another workflow.

Orchard Core updatesFile Upload Limit documentationThere was a question about how to set file upload size limits, and we came up with an idea to have a global solution so we don't have to set custom limits every time we create new actions. Hisham Bin Ateya added a new section to the Orchard Core documentation explaining how file upload limits work and how to customize them.

Orchard Core updatesSMS Health Checks featureThe Health Checks module enables the health checks feature from ASP.NET Core, and the health check endpoint is available at /health/live for each tenant. This module now includes a health check that reports the status of the Twilio SMS service. Thanks for the contribution by Hisham Bin Ateya!

DotNest is Lombiq’s managed Orchard Core hosting platform where users can create and run Orchard Core sites without handling infrastructure, updates, or maintenance themselves. We recently rebuilt the site to give DotNest a clearer presentation and a more modern user experience.

Orchard Core updatesImprove feature dependency display and interactivityThere is a minor UI issue on the Features page: the dependency tags for some features can be crowded because they recursively list all dependencies for a module.

A more reliable way to measure what actually happensTo address this, we built a marketing module at Lombiq for Orchard Core that makes analytics more resilient without adding complexity.

The Lombiq Marketing Orchard Core modules helps with your - you guessed it - online marketing. You can easily add privacy-conscious web analytics provided by Pirsch, and you can use it to create tracking short URLs. And now it's available for all DotNest sites!
