Due to problems with the encryptions I resend the message, and a couple of
clarifications:
Using this:
var section = this.services.ContentManager.New<SectionPart>( typeof(
SectionPart ).Name );
Im now able to create the section part instance and bind it to the view
updating my module:
public int UpdateFrom1()
{
ContentDefinitionManager.AlterTypeDefinition( typeof( SectionPart ).Name,
cfg => cfg
.WithPart( "SectionPart" )
.WithPart( "RoutePart" )
.WithPart( "CommonPart" )
.WithPart( "MenuPart" )
.Indexed()
);
return 2;
}
a new question on this side: I need to be able to link the section part
to the Orchard main menu, how can I have a show on main menu checkbox?

Subject: Clarifications about IRspository<> and IContentManager
Hi all,
Im approaching Orchard for the first time, what Id like to achieve is:
- Create a Section module to define the concept of sections;
- Being able to have an admin area for sections;
- Being able to attach created sections to Orchard main menu;
- Being able within the site template to take decisions based on
the current section;
Currently Ive defined my Section Module, the module is build and is
running in Orchard. I have an admin menu within the Dashboard and from the
AdminController Im trying to list all the sections.
What Ive not understood is the difference between these approaches:
var data = this.repository.Table.ToList();
var allSections = this.contentManager.Query<SectionPart,
SectionRecord>().List();
if I manually add some rows to the database the first approach works fine
but the second one returns no data.
On the other side in order to create a new section Im doing this:
var section = this.services.ContentManager.New<SectionPart>( typeof(
SectionPart ).Name );
but what I obtain is an invalid cast exception.
Im taking as an example the Orchard.Chapter module, my Orchard version is
0.8.51.
Thanks in advance,
.m
