Does Orchard CMS have something similar to the s3Slider? I have had a look about but can't find anything quite like it.
Orchard may/may not have something like that, but you can still use s3slider within your Orchard project as it is only jQuery.
There are a few. FeaturedItemSlider is one that can be found in the Orchard Gallery. I also created one myself called "ContentSlider", which can be found on codeplex.com.

I'm looking to use Orchard for a CMS project, I've setup my project via
dotnet new occms --framework netcoreapp3.1
and went through all the setup for my site.
According to this I would expect to be able to add a new page but I don't see any option that looks like that.
If I go into my content types, I don't see any that I could be able to create. Have I missed something in the setup here?
Thanks
Figured this out, the reason I didn't have a 'page' content type is because I didn't select a recipe when creating the site -
I recreated my site with the Blog recipe and have the Page content type now. For people coming in the future, the page content type is built like this...
I have HTML/CSS complete - conventional stuff.
I now need a CMS for this site. To use Orchard for this do I need to create a Custom Theme? (eg as in this article
http://www.deepcode.co.uk/2011/05/real-world-orchard-cms-part-2-creating.html
Or are custom themes for people that want to make something re-usable?
If there is an easier way to put Orchard CMS in a totally custom design - what is it?
Thx
You definitely need to create your own theme. You could start with an existing theme and modify it, but if you've already got a static HTML/CSS design then you're probably best off starting from scratch.
For more information on theming you can check out:
Writing a new theme - Orchard Documentation
Theming Orchard - A blog post I wrote a while ago
Studying the code of some existing themes can be a nice way to see how a theme is made up.
You should not directly modify the base template files inside Orchard modules. These are made to be overridden in your theme and modifying them directly will make updating Orchard very tricky.
I am attempting to extend the Orchard login process using IUserEventHandler, like is done here. No matter how hard I look through the Orchard assemblies, I can't find the Orchard.Users.Events namespace which is the supposed home of IUserEventHandler.
Which Orchard assembly contains that interface?
Found it. It is actually an Orchard Module, available under /Modules/Orchard.Users.
Is it possible to create a wizard in Orchard CMS, perhaps by creating a "Wizard" content type which may have optional content parts depending on rules which may assess previous data entered. This may be asking too much. I am just looking into Orchard as a CMS and I can see how it can be some much more ie an application framework.
Many thanks,
Ed
Orchard is just an Mvc application so you may use any tecnique that works on it.
Look at this blog to see a step by step tutorial:

I'd like to use the roles and membership ability of Orchard CMS to limit access to a staff portal in Orchard CMS. At present there doesn't look like there's an out of the box way to do it.
I've found numerous references to modules that should be able to help out but none seem to work.
Very Simple Permissions is a codeplex item suggested by some that has a dead link nowadays and doesn't seem to exist on codeplex.
Science Project: Quanta destroys my site everytime I try to install it with a missing dll issue, and not sure if its what I need anyways.
Does anyone have any guidance as to how to either: show/hide menu items based on roles using the standard menu system or advanced menu plugin
or
limit content visibility based on roles. If its a module fantastic, otherwise don't mind getting my hands dirty with some coding but a point in the right way to do this mvc style would be great. I'm going to presume I need to edit the controller for the menu module to check for current membership and adjust the view data accordingly. I'm moving away from webforms. slowly. Still getting my head around the framework.
Thanks for checking in.
For those who are still struggling with this, there's a module is called ContentPermissions which is available here:
gallery.orchardproject.net/List/Modules/Orchard.Module.Orchard.ContentPermissions
Once installed, you can then add the ContentPermissionsPart to the Content Type you want to secure.
Quanta really is what you want. You are probably missing one of its dependencies. Pete, the author, is also super-active on the CodePlex forums so if you ask there, you'll get an answer.
UPDATE: Orchard 1.5.1, the current version as I'm writing this update, supports content item permissions and menu trimming out of the box.
