Hi,

Articles look very much like pages. I'm not sure why you'd need a separate type 
for that.

Documentation on shapes is coming but for the moment, you can watch the latest 
screencast 
(http://orchardproject.net/LiveMeetings/Latest/Orchard.0.8.Screencast.mp4). 
Lou's part has a great demo of shapes.

To create one to many relationships, you can follow the example of blogs to 
blog posts, or posts to comments.

Does this help?

Subject: Trying to understand something

HI,

 

sorry for the subject, but we are currently trying to extricate ourselves from 
the Orchard jungle :-)

 

Let's start trying to define our scenario: we need to build a "site" on top of 
Orchard, currently it's a spike to investigate the platform, defining these 
three main concepts:

 

-          Articles: an article is basically a page really similar to a blog
post, has comment, tags, routing;

-          Categories: a category is an hierarchical aggregator of articles;

-          Sections: a section is a flat non-hierarchical aggregator of
categories, has routing and menu support as we need a section to appear in the 
main menu;

 

The first thing we did has been to build a "Sections module" and a "Categories 
module" (using Shapes: is there any docs that deeply discuss Shapes & 
Drivers?), currently we have those modules running and from the dashboard we 
can manage Sections and Categories.

 

Now the first question is: which is the best way to create a one-to-many 
relationship between Sections and Categories? And obviously which steps should 
we follow to integrate the two editors?

 

Regards,

.m
