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? -----Original Message----- From: Mauro Servienti [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2010 5:54 AM To: [email protected] 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?
