Hi Everyone, I created some Orchard modules that I wanted to share and get people's thoughts on.
*Tagged layer rule* Creating layers to place widgets on is a really nice way of managing widgets. I wanted to create a layer based on the tags I was using in my posts and pages. I needed a tagged rule that I could use to create a layer, but there wasn't one in the box. With a lot of help from the Orchard Team I made a Tagged module that adds this rule. You can get it from the Orchard Gallery and I've put together some instructions in this blog post. http://www.nogginbox.co.uk/blog/tag-layers-in-orchard On a side issue, it would be good if there was somewhere to put instructions for contributed modules. *Contact us module* This still needs some work, so you can currently only get it from Codeplex. I'll add it to the gallery when I've tested it more. I'd also like to make the admin a bit more usable. I made it with the help of Aaron Rhoads who created the module for 0.5. I've updated it to work in 0.8 and integrated it with the Orchard Email system. You can get it here: http://orchardcontactus.codeplex.com/ I wouldn't be confident using this module on a production site yet, but it would be really helpful if some people could help me put it through its paces. There are also still some things I'd like to do to it. These are in the issue tracker, so please vote if there are any of these you'd like. This is my biggest Orchard module so far and I've been learning on the job. If anyone wants to look through my code and point out better ways to do things then I'd find this really useful and it would help me continue to improve this module.
