Still a perpetual n00b here. I have a new content record of a custom content type. I'd like to display it in Razor directly in a blank-canvas theme, but I don't know how to get to it in the model. Perhaps I have to add it to the shape first, in which case I am lost; the documentation I've seen on various loosely similar scenarios seems to be demonstrating larger requirements than mine.
For one extremely simple web site I'm trying to take a minimalist approach to Orchard so that I can know how I can reproduce what I previously accomplished in raw markup without a CMS but still use Orchard to store and define content. I have what I would like for now to be rendered as a bulleted list of list items (I'll later be making this something else, using a custom template for this content type) that are stored as containable content items in a list. I'm using the Core recipe and I've enabled the Lists feature and I'd like to show my custom List by itself on this very simple web page. I'd like to see what I can accomplish without using the Widgets feature. http://www.orchardproject.net/docs/Creating-lists.ashx .. describes how to add a widget, add the list to your widget, add the widget to the zone, etc. I'm trying to approach this more minimalistically; I'd like to see if I can just slap the list up onto the view in Razor such as something like @Display(Model.MyCustomList). No widgets, not even any zones. While I know that there is documentation for templating specific content types, I don't know how to get specific content instances to show up in the Model. I am using the Layout.cshtml template in a copy of the SafeMode template using the Core recipe. Jon --- You are currently subscribed to orchard-discuss as: [email protected].
