Orchard Harvest 2026 program, Your website should integrate with your business systems - This week in Orchard (26/06/2026)

The full Orchard Harvest 2026 conference program is live, with the event taking place in Vancouver on September 10-11. Grab your early-bird ticket for just $280 and join the community for two days of sessions and networking!

Form submissions shouldn't end up in manual copy-paste routines. Orchard Core connects directly with Zapier, Make, and n8n to automatically trigger CRM updates, notifications, and more. DotNest's managed hosting makes the whole setup hassle-free!

The Health Checks module by Hisham Bin Ateya lets you restrict access by IP, apply rate limiting, and DoS protection for your health check endpoints, all configurable via JSON.

Managing multiple tenants on the same database just got easier. New RequireTablePrefix and TablePrefixPattern options, introduced by Mike Alhayek, let you enforce or auto-generate table prefixes (e.g., using the tenant name), so your setup is consistent and error-free out of the box.

No more guessing which properties to use for the Settings recipe step. Every module with configurable settings now includes a dedicated Recipe Configuration section with examples!

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.
