AI framework for .NET, New View Roles permission - This week in Orchard (28/08/2026)

Want to give support staff a way to see role definitions without letting them change anything? A new View Roles permission does exactly that.

Need to cap how long, or short, a text field's content can be? Text Field settings now support Minimum and Maximum length validation.

Building AI features outside of Orchard Core? CrestApps.Core brings the same AI Suite services to any ASP.NET Core project.

And signing into DotNest just got easier, with social sign-in via Microsoft, Google, GitHub, or Facebook.

This week's changes come from Matt Varblow, Antoine Griffard, and Mike Alhayek.

The Orchard test instance updated in Dojo Library

We upgraded the Orchard test instance in the Orchard Dojo Library to version 1.7. Also the Training Demo module got a corresponding update and since the Orchard Mini Profiler is now compatible with the latest release we updated that in the solution as well.

Orchard Dojo opened!

What Orchard missed till now is a place where the various pieces of knowledge related to it are stored in a structured, accessible form. We aim to provide a solution for this with Orchard Dojo: a website dedicated to learning Orchard. On Orchard Dojo we want to gather all the information related to Orchard in a well-structured and well-presented form so nothing worth while gets lost. We also created the Orchard Dojo Library, a nice big package of various Orchard goodies, including development guidelines and best practices, a wiki, Visual Studio code snippets and more. Also with Orchard Dojo we'd like to bring our Orchard trainings what we've done through Orchard Hungary to the next level. We really hope you'll learn a lot on Orchard Dojo!
