This week, Mike Alhayek shows how to use Copilot directly inside Orchard Core!

But before that, check out some code where you can see that, starting now, Orchard supports static data migration methods, and suppressions are no longer required for migration steps that don't use instance state.

Welcome the first contribution from Jack Liu, who made the pagination of the List Part configurable to decide whether to show a full pager with page numbers or just the arrows to navigate to the previous and next pages.

Do you know that since 2013, we've been working with Óbuda University in a hands-on way to teach web development? If you are interested in our Orchard Core courses at the university, check out our post on our site!

As we mentioned, we started publishing last year's Harvest recordings to YouTube. Check them out for some inspiration, and don't forget to apply to be a speaker for this year's Harvest by the 5th of May, midnight, anywhere on Earth!

Ready to explore? Let's dive in!

We have two demos prepared for this week! The first demo is by Hisham Bin Ateya on adding localization support for Admin Menus, and the second is MCP Prompts and MCP Resources support by Mike Alhayek! Both are worth watching!

Before the demos, let's check out the new content manager ValidateAsync behavior, which means that now ValidateAsync() only performs validation and returns the result, and it no longer cancels the session on failure.

And thanks to Mike Alhayek, there is a new PlacementLocationBuilder fluent API as a type-safe alternative to manually constructing placement location strings in display drivers.

Enough talking, let's see these in detail!

This time, you can see a demo by Hisham Bin Ateya of a bulk option for attaching the Localization Part to content types.

Before that, let's check out the new Data Protection guide, thanks to Laode Muhammad Al Fatih, which provides information on implementing data protection in Orchard Core applications, particularly in multi-tenant and load-balanced environments.

And thanks to Nick Jackson, there is a new settings panel with a CodeMirror textarea for customizing the EasyMDE editor options on both the Markdown Field and the MarkdownBody Part when using the WYSIWYG editor.

Without further ado, let's dive in!

This week, you can see an interesting demo of the enhanced Blocks Editor, showcasing new features such as in-place block insertion, block duplication, cross-page block copying, and reusable Global Blocks!

But before that, let us quickly mention the newly added Agent Skills directly to Orchard Core for guided workflows!

If you haven't filled it out yet, please take a quick look at the Orchard Harvest 2026 survey that we will close on the 9th of March.

This week, you can see an interesting demo of the Lombiq Orchard Core Agent Skills repository, which provides enhanced AI-assisted theming with agent skills. But before that, let us quickly mention allowing mailto and tel links in the HTML sanitizer configuration and allowing an override of Reverse Proxy from the configuration! Oh, and did we mention that we have just created a survey for Orchard Harvest 2026?

This week, we mention the refactored IContentDefinitionService, allowing other modules to use content definition operations without referencing the entire ContentTypes module. See a demo of the Translation Editor that allows you to translate dynamic strings via the admin UI! And finally, check out a case study about how we rebuilt hajosnep.hu, Hungary's oldest maritime history association's website, with Orchard Core on DotNest!

See how we replaced the dynamic ContentCard shapes with strongly typed shapes to enhance Orchard Core development! Take a look at the updated documentation for the UserDisplayName shape if you struggled to display user information in your custom format. You could also see a demo about how to expose recipe step metadata and JSON schemas, enabling IDE autocompletion, AI tooling integration, and recipe validation. Oh, and have we mentioned that Orchard Core Commerce has just got a fresh new release?

This week's topics include adding Delete and Unpublish buttons to the content editor, fixing pluralization for pagers with 0 or 1 items, and a demo of the improvements of the upcoming Blocks editor for the Bag Part and Flow Part!

This week's topics include prioritizing format over quality in the ResizeURLFilter, adding an option for inherited text alignment in the Flow Part, and a demo of the upcoming Blocks editor for the Bag Part!

The topics for this week include migrating Orchard Core to .NET 10 and adding documentation for the Menu tag helper and Liquid shape rendering. See a demo of how you can utilize the upcoming Quill editor type for the HTML Field!
