I am fairly new to OrchardCMS, I am trying to make an inline blog, something similar to http://carsquare.com/Content/CarReviews
Any idea how I can achieve this using standard blog functionality, or do I need to custom write the module?
Thanks
I think the Orchard Blog looks like that more or less. You can install a theme, that will get you a step closer. And then maybe change the Page views. Just enable the shapetracing module and have a look around.

I need to display previous and next resource with tv in one parent using this addon in modx
http://modx.com/extras/package/prevnext
But there is some simple documentation, and i can see it has a lot of options, is it posible that someone can show me simple example of tlp.
https://modx.com/extras/package/prevnext shows clear description and parameters.
[[!prevNext]]
Use pdoNeighbors (part of pdoTools) - it has better documentation and examples.
I am new to Orchard CMS may be this can be easily achievable I don't know how to do it exactly as i have searched a lot on Google. I have a blog where I need to display the archive in drop down Eg :
I checked the blog module and I don't know how can I filter it so that I can get this. Do I have to create a new module to achieve this or a tweak in the Blog module will work. I Read the sky-walker tutorial to understand how to create a module but i don't know how to achieve this.
You need to override the Parts.Blogs.BlogArchives.cshtml, very easy. That is what Orchard is all about. you can read more about it in the documentation.
Check this Accessing Shapes , for starters.
I'd like to have a hierarchical URL structure in my site. Something on these lines:
tutorials
javascript
jquery
There should be a page at each level (tutorials, tutorials/javascript and tutorials/javascript/jquery). Obviously, using Taxonomies would help me organize my content in this manner, but how do I get Autoroute URLs generated for this scenario?
Bertrand Le Roy made a comment on this SO answer about using taxonomy terms as pages but it still doesn't seem to create the right URL structure for me. Am I missing something? Is there something specific I need to configure or enable to make this happen?
Are there any other approaches I can look at?
I was thinking of specifying the default route as something like {Content.Fields.Page.TaxonomyName}. It appears that this isn't really possible right now according to this bug report.
Here's an approach that seems to work without having to use taxonomies:
I added a Content Picker field called ParentPage to the Page content type and updated the Page's Autoroute default to
{Content.Fields.Page.ParentPage.Content.Path}/{Content.Slug}
Now in each page I get to pick what the parent page is and the URL is constructed how I expect it. From what I remember of working with WordPress, I think this is pretty close to how it allows you to do this parent page thing, too.
I was wondering what people are using for generating breadcrumbs in drupal. I've seen various modules and was wondering which ones people have had success with.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Bad news from me: personally I always custom-write breadcrumb code because every professional job I do has different requirements and no generic breadcrumb module can do it all.
I used to create a hook_preprocess_page function then issued my own hook to see if any module would like to rebuild the breadcrumbs - I do it this way so that, for instance, if I have a specialised node I can put the breadcrumb-building code for that node type into its support module (and not try to cram it all into one ever-expanding function - it's the Drupal Way).
Nowadays I use ctools plugins instead of a module hook in the hook_preprocess_page since you can do additional clever stuff.
(If using Panels you'd have to create a new breadcrumb panel pane and work from there. Word to the wise: Panels destroys $_GET['q'] which can make it harder to build breadcrumbs in some situations.)
I'm in the process of adding some much needed client side form validation to a website I'm working on. We're currently using YUI. YUI doesn't have any form validation built in as I can see(prove me wrong).
I googled it
http://code.google.com/p/yui-form-validator/
It's not important that it's a YUI-extension as long as it plays along with YUI in a civilized manner.
What should I go for? Anyone out there with experience and an opinion?
There's a module in the gallery: http://yuilibrary.com/gallery/show/form
I haven't used it, but it looks pretty good to me.
Looks like we'll go for http://validatious.org/
Lightweight and standalone. Will not interfere with YUI.
