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.
