Admin breadcrumbs, disable media thumbnails - This week in Orchard (13/11/2026)

Editing a field deep in a content type's settings and want to see where you are? Admin screens now show a breadcrumb trail above their title, so any page along the path is one click away. A new docs section shows how to add one to your own pages.

Don't want the media gallery to download and render thumbnails? A new DisableThumbnails option locks every media browsing surface to the list view.

And need to send SMS messages from different numbers? The Send SMS workflow task now has an optional From Phone Number field.

And all the Orchard Harvest 2026 recordings are now on YouTube!

This week's changes come from Mike Alhayek and Jasmin Savard.

Orchard Core 3.0, Admin Theme in Orchard Core: The Developer cheat sheet - This week in Orchard (19/06/2026)

We are thrilled to announce that Orchard Core 3.0 is out! Check out this post to know everything about the latest release of Orchard Core. In the coming weeks, we will explore the latest features and additions in Orchard Core 3.0!

New documentation by contributor Quoc Bao An Nguyen covers how to work with the Admin Theme in Orchard Core for building consistent, maintainable custom admin interfaces.

Thanks to contributor ghazi1567, ReCaptcha settings can now be configured via ConfigureReCaptchaSettings(), allowing keys to be pulled from appsettings.json rather than only from the admin dashboard.

A new demo by Mike Alhayek showcases how the AI Suite can route chat sessions to live human agents (e.g., via Genesys), enabling hybrid AI-and-human support workflows.

We attended Digitalk's BeerUP Tech Fest, where we networked and gave a talk on .NET web architecture in regulated environments!
