Add Autocomplete to the Stereotype text box, add Content Item ApiController.cs endpoints documentation, and a demo about Lucene Search in practice are the topics for this week. Don't forget to join our next Orchard Core Pair Programming session, where we'll continue building a decoupled CMS project! Let's see the details! Orchard Core updates Add Autocomplete to the Stereotype text box Now, the Stereotype is a text box, that is not user-friendly when making changes. For example, you may enter UserCustomSettings instead of CustomUserSettings. The goal here is to have some way to get all the Stereotypes that are currently supported by the system, and then list them, for example, by adding a dropdown menu to the Stereotype text box where you can still type what you want. Let's see this quickly in action! First of all, head to the admin UI of Orchard Core and edit the Content Definition of the predefined Blog Post content type by navigating to Content -> Content Definition -> Content Types (assuming you set up your site using the Blog recipe). Here, find the Stereotype text box and simply click on it. Once you do it, you will find a list showing you all of the stereotypes that are currently available on your site. Adding Content Item ApiController.cs endpoints documentation The OrchardCore.Contents module provides RESTful API endpoints via minimal API featuring endpoints to manage content items. These endpoints allow for operations such as retrieving, creating, updating, and deleting single content item instances. Access to these endpoints requires authentication and appropriate user role permissions. The documentation of the Contents module has been updated by adding Useful modules and libraries Activating the "OpenId Authorization Server" and "OpenId Token Validation" Features, and setting User Roles Contents API Controller Endpoints Demos Lucene Search in practice This is the Brittany All Cases management platform of Bethany built on top of Orchard Core CMS, using the full CMS, not just the framework. In this demo, you can see the search pages, where you can do the obvious search using queries. But you can also filter by different fields and properties on all added fields by marking a field as indexable. You can also do sorting by multiple things. Another feature is the different layout types. There is the normal summary view and the summary small, which is just the title and metadata. There is also a grid display type where you can add different fields that you want to display in the grid. You can also rename and remove the columns. The reason why column renaming is allowed is for the export. You can export all the search results into a CSV containing the renamed columns. And it's just the top of everything this site offers.

Add documentation for Full-Text Search for Admin UI, add support for sending emails using Azure Communication Services, and our Open-Source Orchard Core Extensions solution is updated to Orchard Core 1.8.2! Check out our post for the details! Orchard Core updates Add documentation for Full-Text Search for Admin UI Starting with version 1.7, new options have been introduced to enable control over the behavior of the Full-Text Search in the administration user interface for content items. For instance, consider a content type called Product. Currently, when a user performs a search, the default behavior is to check if the search terms are present in the DisplayText column of the ContentItemIndex for the content item. However, what if a user wants to search for a product using its serial number, which is not part of the DisplayText field? Head to the updated section of the documentation of Orchard Core to see how you can achieve this easily! Azure Email Communication Services A new email provider was added to allow you to send emails using Azure Communication Services. Furthermore, the OrchardCore.Email module has undergone a refactoring process with no breaking changes. However, there are compile-time warnings that are recommended to be addressed: Previously, we used the injection of ISmtpService for sending email messages. In this release, it is now necessary to inject IEmailService instead. The SMTP-related services are now part of a new module named OrchardCore.Email.Smtp. To use the SMTP provider for sending emails, enable the OrchardCore.Email.Smtp feature. If you were using the OrchardCore_Email configuration key to set up the SMTP provider for all tenants, please update the configuration key to OrchardCore_Email_Smtp. The OrchardCore_Email key continues to work but will be deprecated in a future release. So, sending emails is provider-based, and now it's really easy to extend. If someone wants to create their provider for email, they can easily implement the IEmailProvider interface and that's all you need to do to add a new provider. If you navigate to the Features page under Configuration and type email, you will see these three features. Now, let's enable all three features, and let's see what will happen! As you can see, the Email settings page under Configuration now contains three tabs:- Providers: here, you can set up the default email sender provider that you want to use.- Azure: settings related to the Azure Provider.- SMTP: settings related to the SMTP Provider. Under the Email Test menu, you can test your providers where the first drop-down, called Provider, contains all of the active features that can be used to send emails. You can read more about these modules in the documentation, where you will find a page for the base Email module, the Azure Email module, and the Email SMTP module.
