Help shape Orchard Core's new website, a new website using Orchard Core - This week in Orchard (17/07/2026)

When you add a custom settings page, does it look like it belongs in the admin UI?

When you utilize workflow activities, does JavaScript syntax have to be the only option?

After checking out this week's Orchard news, both have better answers.

Thanks to Mike Alhayek, admin forms across settings and configuration pages now use the same ocat-* CSS class conventions, replacing legacy Bootstrap and Orchard-specific helpers. And all workflow tasks that previously only supported JavaScript now also support Liquid, with a new LiquidTask added to match ScriptTask.

Also this week: Nick Jackson's Orchard Core website redesign is open for community feedback, and GoRide joins the showcase of sites running on Orchard Core.

Client-side development and a little more of the Orchard API - Dojo Course
UPDATE (2017-11-22): Dojo Course 2 is released with new, updated videos! This week on Dojo Course we move on to some frontend-related development and see how to use static resources and other important features provided by MVC and Orchard. After that we return to the server-side to learn something new. How to add your static resources to your templates? Script/Style.Include/Require. Some userful helpers to customize your templates. Dynamically creating and displaying a shape. How to protect yourself against cross-site request forgery attacks? Posting forms and using the MVC model binder to check if the entered data in our editor is valid or not. Some debugging and bug hunting (restarting the system solved the mystery). And now, for something completely different: file management in Orchard using the IStorageProvider. Remember: if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask them by creating a new issue in the Orchard issue tracker with the "discussion" label. Make sure to prefix your thread's title with "Dojo Course - "! We keep an eye on these issues. Also follow us on Twitter to get notified about the latest Dojo Course news, including when a new tutorial is posted. Do you have some feedback about the course? Please send it in.
