I have two different installs of Orchard CMS. In one install, the Map type has a text box for GoogleMapsZoomLevel and in the other it has a slider. My client has complained that the slider is not intuitive and has requested that all instances of Map type use the text box.
I have went over the type and all the settings are the same.
Here is the definition in the Map type of both instances:
And this is how they render when you create a new "Map"
Take note of the slider for the zoom level.
Any help would be appreciated.
You should compare the rendered html, and if there are any errors while serving the resources (css, scripts). Probably one instance is missing a script library, or has a different template.

I am new to Orchard and question myself how to mix up widgets and content. As of my understanding, the page content type has one layout where you put all your content in: HTML, images, et cetera. Where it will get displayed is defined by the theme. By placing widgets into the zones of the theme I can display custom modules in addition.
But, what if I want (for one specific page, from top to bottom)
Content/HTML -> Widget -> More Content/HTML -> Another Widget -> Even more Content/HTML?
I know it is possible to achieve that by placing the second and third content block into a widget and configure the layer to match the url of my page, but this seems to me like a hack.
In DNN you can place everything, HTML as well as modules, into the exact container/zone you want. In nasty Joomla! you can "import" modules (widgets) as part of the HTML of an article.
What is the way to achieve that mix up in Orchard?
You have tagged the question as orchardcms-1.10 so you should be able to do it.
Orchard has a module called Orchard.Layouts which provides the functionality that you are describing.
Are you using an upgrade old version?
If you have upgraded your site from an older version of Orchard then it will still just have the old style BodyPart as its main content editor. Fresh installs will have LayoutPart which can provide these kinds of complex layouts.
For an introduction on this subject look at IDeliverable's Orchard Layouts intro article.
If you are working with an old upgraded version please add a comment and I will explain the upgrade process.
Have you enabled the Layout Widgets module / feature?
If you already see this but can't add the widgets then make sure you enable the Widget Elements feature:
Go to:
Admin panel
Modules
Type widget into the filter at the top
Click Enable on the Widget Elements feature
Now when you go back to the layout editor you will see a new category with all the widgets placeable as elements.
Setup:
I am using Orchard CMS 1.6.
I have a site where I need to be able to set the background color of the whole page. Ie, I need to style the body tag.
I could use the LayoutSelector module and have distinct layouts. However, the only difference in each layout is that the background-color rule for the body tag is different. So it seems a very un-dry way of doing things.
I can't find any way to make Vandelay.Classy add a distinct id or class to the body tag (it adds, as I understand it) an id or a class to the outer tag of a content type. In my case, that isn't the body tag.
So that is no good, I really do need to customize the body tag.
How to do this?
Note:
I need 3 different background colors. I also have a two column layout and a three column layout. [I use (a modified version of) the layoutSelector module to achieve this.] So to have 3 different colors of background, and I used layouts to achieve this, I would need 6 different layouts: TOTAL overkill.
There must be a better way...
From any cshtml file, you should be able to access the Layout shape. From pretty much anywhere else, you can still get to the Layout shape through WorkContextAccessor. Once you have a reference to the Layout shape, you can do Layout.Classes.Add("the-class-you-want").
I am using orchard cms with the bootstrap theme.
I have created a content type: House
it contains FIELDS
image (media picker field)
Property Type (taxonomy field)
Location (taxonomy field)
It has PARTS
common
body
publish later
Title
Autoroute
I want queries of houses and be able to choose the view/ layout for them
e.g. layout called HouseList (for sidebars mainly) which will render: title, image and link to house, possible location and type but with out the links as defaulted. And then a fullDetails layout and a image only layout (so i can show a jquery image reel a widget say in a quadzone) How can i do all this please, i have tried in view Content-House.cshtml etc but i cant access the details model.content to choose what to display.
Im sure when i get the idea of how to do 1 i should be able to sort the rest. I have read documentation etc but there are so many different ways, ie placement file, change the parts, contents, create classes to handle display etc. sureley i am missing something simple like create a view for each list i want eg. houue-list, house-details, house-imageONly and then manipulate content.
Please help i have been trying different things for getting this site running for weeks and not getting very far. Examples would be fantastic but i have searched google for hours and found similar but nothing with enough details for a meer beginer.
Thanks
The standard way of doing that is placement to move things around and alternate templates for the different parts and fields. You can specialize placement and alternates with the display type, which is Summary when rendering in a list such as what a projection returns, and Detail for the detail view. More info on placement can be found here: http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Understanding-placement-info and on alternates here: http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Alternates
Now if you prefer to completely take over the rendering and do without placement, here are a few posts that may help:

In the past I've using graphviz's node "label", "URL" (or "href") and "tooltip" attributes to generate SVG graphics where the nodes have the text label, mouse-over displays the tooltip, and clicking the node (assuming your browser is displaying the svg) takes you to the URL target (and all those strings can be different).
Right now I'm trying to generate the same sort of thing in Cytoscape. Exporting svg works nicely, but linkage of nodes to external URLs seems all tied up with Cytoscape's "linkout" feature; while this seems very powerful while you're actually using Cytoscape, it's not clear to me whether there's some way of getting it to produce clickable nodes or labels (I'd settle for either) in an exported SVG. The URLs I want to link to are a node attribute of my imported graph.
Is there something I'm missing in Cytoscape which will create links in exported SVG ? Any suggestions for alternative approaches ? e.g some way of getting labels to be arbitrary HTML including <a href=...>...</a> ?
My "plan B" is to postprocess the exported SVG, but it'd be nicer to have Cytoscape do it all.
So far as my further use of the tool permitted me to determine, Cytoscape just doesn't have this capability.
I currently have a Content Type called "News" which is very simple (No custom properties etc.). I am trying to style this Content type when it occurs on a page of a specific layout, in this case a "News" page.
So - I have the layout that a News page will inherit from (Layout-url-News.cshtml), however I cannot seem to get the Content to display or inherit from a template (I have tried creating alternates such as Zone-url-News.cshtml and Zone-Content-url-News.cshtml, however both result in having no content at all.)
I had create both of the mentioned alternates by hand, as Designer Tools was unable to generate an alternate (The relative virtual path 'Orchard.Core.Shapes.CoreShapes::Zone' is not allowed here)
Basically - I cannot figure out how to style the content found on a specific page, (Title, Tags, Date, Body) as the Content always seems to inheirit from the base shape.
If your point is to style content in a zone, u might find it easier to use css. The layout system makes it really easy to identify the elements your interested in styling by using css selectors.
for example
.aside1.news { ... }
That takes care of 80% of styling needs
Most of the remaining is taken care of by the placement.info file which allows you to indicate which fields and what order for contenttypes and viewstypes (summary and detail)
the remaining needs are address by overriding the contentitem.view.
But you seem to indicate that you want to set the style for a contenttype in a specific zone for a url. So... You have the same contentType in different zones at the same url? I cannot imagine what you are doing. :)
Long and short, it sounds like your focused on the zone but it might be more helpful to focus on the contenttype or better yet, css. I ran into the same thing with url alternates suggesting alternates that aren't valid. It seems weird that it suggests zone alternates. I don't think those those are allowed.
