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.

Mastering Lucene Query Syntax in Orchard Core, How to quickly spin off your Orchard Core site? - This week in Orchard (12/06/2026)

Have you heard that we rebuilt DotNest.com using reusable landing page sections, Tailwind 4 without Node.js, and AI-assisted workflows?

Nick Jackson demos an Electron desktop app that lets you spin up Orchard sites fast! Choose your modules and themes, manage recipes, all without touching an IDE.

Sébastien Ros introduced support for async JS evaluation using Jint's new async method, enabling workflows and other JS-dependent features to run without blocking.

We're excited to open registration for Orchard Harvest 2026! Secure your spot today for the early bird pricing and get ready to level up your skills!
