Customize theme templates from the admin UI, faster role setup - This week in Orchard (30/10/2026)

Want to override a theme's Liquid templates without creating a new theme or restarting your app? Theme Customization, now continuing as Assisted Templates, clones them into the Templates store right from the admin UI.

Tired of hunting for the permissions page after creating a role? The new Save & Configure button takes you straight there.

And has a workflow ever silently done nothing because it had no startup task? Orchard Core now marks the first event as the startup task, and warns you if a workflow doesn't have one.

We also share how we repositioned Lombiq.com for the people who decide on critical platform projects.

This week's changes come from Rajeev Kumar and Sotiris Roussos.

Dojo Course 2 has been released!

The first Dojo Course was recorded and released in 2013 (not long after Lombiq Technologies was founded) and now we are happy to announce the arrival of Dojo Course 2! The course material has the same foundation (the Orchard Training Demo Module, which has also been upgraded in the past years), but it's updated for the (then) latest Orchard version (1.10.1) and the production quality is also improved. Just like the first generation, these videos were also recorded as part of a university course, but this time host was the University of Szeged, Faculty of Science and Informatics. Thanks for having us! The first hour of videos is available now on YouTube in the Dojo Course 2 playlist - subscribe to our YouTube channel to get notified of the upcoming videos (we will release a few every 2-3 days)! Update (2017. 12. 27.): All videos are now available.
