I am using Orchard 1.4 and playing around with the Projection Widget.
One thing I am wondering about is how to control the positioning of the content on the Page.
I understand the widgets are placed in the designated zone, but what if I want to put the contents of the projection modules somewhere within the page content?
For Example :
Title
Some Page content here
Projection Module content
Some more Page content here
How do I do that?
Thanks!
You typically use placement.info to change the order of parts on the rendered page.

I use Orchard CMS 1.10.1. In a Page I have lets say four Html widget, I want to place one of these Html Widgets in a local zone.
I used Shape Tracing Tool to get the name of the shape of this specific Html widget But all of these four Widgets have Same the name in Shape Tracing Tool.
So how can I target only one of them?
Firstly, you should add new zone to Theme.txt:
Zones: MyCustomZone, .., .., ..
then after adding your widget to this zone through Orchard dashboard, you can display this zone MyCustomZone, anywhere you want in your system, just using the following line:
#Display(WorkContext.Layout.MyCustomZone)
Note: you don't need to render it in your layout if this is not necessary.
Enable "Widget Alternates" module and alternates with widget name will appear.
I am trying to create a different layout for a sub-section of my website using Orchard.
Let's say I wanted to give www.site.com/Shop a different layout from the rest of the website; how would I go about doing this?
I have tried looking for a way to do this using layers but have got stuck.
There are several ways to achieve different layout, since I don't know your specific needs I'll throw in some extra possible routes
Use url shape alternate (I guess you need this one)
You have to enable Url Alternates module and it lets you create shape alternates based on url. For example if your page is www.site.com/shop you can then create view under your theme Layout-url-Shop.cshtml and it will be used instead of default Layout.cshtml on your shop.
Orchard documentantion: URL and Widget Alternates
Use 1.x or wait for 1.9
There you can define dynamically different layout per content item aka page. But I find it good only for content not the base layout which is present in layout.cshtml

I'm trying to create a CSS documentation library in Orchard. I want to save a description, CSS snippet and HTML snippet against each content type. The first view would show the description and CSS and HTML code written out. The second view would show a preview of what the CSS and HTML look like rendered.
cssdocumentation.com/content/item1
cssdocumentation.com/content/item1/live-preview
I've created the content type and the first view. But I'm not sure how to create the second view. I can see if I can create the alternative URL I can use the Url Alternates module to create an overriding .cshtml
To create an alternative URL I've looked at the autoroute module but this only allows you to adapt a single URL (unless I'm missing something?) and I've looked at Alias UI but this forces me to manually create an alternative URL everytime I create a content item.
Is this possible in Orchard without writting too much C#? (I'm a frontend developer so I only dabble in the behind the scenes stuff)
Thanks for any help
Best solution is to do this within your own module. But as a secondary option instead of having a second page, combine this content with your first page and hide it with CSS. When the user clicks a button to navigate to the next step render the CSS/HTML result on the same page. You can do this in many ways, here are a few ideas:
Render the CSS/HTML result out straight away on the same page but hide it. Show it when the user clicks a button
using jQuery to render the result on the client side. More dynamic if you allow editing of the HTML and CSS.
Redirecting the user to the same page with specific url parameters which you can pick up in your alternate to modify the output.
I am using drupal.I have to display the content of a page in lightbox2.(only the content not header,footer,menubar,sidebar etc).The url of that content node is http://mysite.com/node/1.
I have included the lightbox2 module and used the below code
<li>click here to see node content</li>
But the lightbox displays the whole page not only the content.i need only the text content.
One more option in that you can pass a parameter in get method for lightbox2 content.
Based on the parameter add condition in page.tpl.php
Not the best of the solution, but achievable.
Create a new page.tpl for node/1 and print only $content in this.
this way you will make sure you only get content and nothing else
I Agree with Vaibhav Jain, you can create a theme for the page without the header, left and right, footer. only the content and call that page inside the lightbox
I'm trying to create a theme in orchard. I have a main content zone and a sidebar zone which is on the right of my main content area (2 column layout). The main content area displays a list of blog posts (including tags, etc. Standard Orchard behaviour).
In the sidebar I would like to display the recent blog post widgets. However, the standard widget renders tags, published date etc. I do not want to display this information in the sidebar zone.
The placement file does not seem to be the right place to configure this as I can't specifically target the Parts_Tags_ShowTags shape in the sidebar zone. Neither does it seem to be possible to create a new template like Tags.ShowTags-Sidebar.cshtml
Any suggestions on how to modify/hide a shape in one zone on a page but not the other?
You can either use an alternate (shape tracing can help with that) or take this over entirely (see this post for details: http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2011/03/27/taking-over-list-rendering-in-orchard.aspx)
