This week, Majd (Mike) Alhayek shows the upcoming Content Transfer module that provides bulk import and export of content items using Excel files! But before that, check out how Hisham Bin Ateya improved the Health Checks feature to report the status for the Twilio SMS service. We also want to highlight a new site built with Orchard Core: JobsIreland.ie!

We recently rebuilt DotNest.com and used the project to rethink how we build Orchard Core websites. The redesign became a broader modernization effort: - reusable landing page sections in Orchard Core - Tailwind 4 integrated directly into the .NET build workflow - simpler front-end tooling without Node.js - AI-assisted workflows with developers still in control The project also led to several open-source releases, including Lombiq Tailwind Targets and our Agent Skills repositories. A lot of practical lessons came out of building this on a real production site. 👉 Read our case study here: https://lnkd.in/dCE6JRBX #OrchardCore #DotNet #TailwindCSS #OpenSource

See a demo of the new Content Transfer module by Majd (Mike) Alhayek to provide bulk import and export of content items via Excel files! Key features include: - Bulk Import: Upload an Excel file to import content items. Files are processed in the background with configurable batch sizes, checkpoint-based resume, and progress tracking. - Bulk Export: Export content items to an Excel file. Small datasets (≤500 records by default) are exported immediately; larger datasets are queued for background processing, and the user is notified when the file is ready. - Export Dashboard: A dedicated dashboard for managing queued export requests and downloading completed export files. - Export Filters: Partial export support with filters for created/modified date ranges, owner usernames, published-only, latest-only, or all versions.

Your analytics isn’t broken. It’s incomplete. A growing share of user behavior never reaches your reports. Ad blockers, stripped UTM parameters, and blocked scripts quietly remove parts of the story before your tools even see it. The result looks like clean data. But it’s only part of the picture. We built a marketing module for Orchard Core that helps reduce these blind spots: - Preserve attribution even when UTM parameters are removed - Use clean short URLs without losing campaign data - Rely on privacy-friendly analytics with lower blocking rates The goal is simple: More reliable data → better decisions. We also share how it works and how to set it up. 👉 Read the full post: https://lnkd.in/df7TNu2R If you’re dealing with inconsistent analytics or unclear attribution, feel free to reach out. Happy to discuss your setup. #OrchardCore #MarketingAnalytics #WebAnalytics #Marketing #PrivacyFriendly

AI integration in .NET applications is evolving rapidly. But without structure, it can easily become a collection of scattered prompts, hardcoded tool calls, and tightly coupled logic. The CrestApps.AgentSkills ecosystem provides a clean, layered architecture for defining, organizing, and exposing AI skills in .NET with first-class support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Orchard Core. Watch Majd (Mike) Alhayek walk through the projects in the repository and explain how they fit together based strictly on their actual structure and purpose.

We’ve joined the CMS Experts group at Boye & Company. It’s a strong peer group representing most leading CMS platforms. Until now, Orchard Core wasn’t part of the conversation. That has changed. We’re also starting immediately on the ground: Tomorrow we’re attending CMS Summit 26 in Frankfurt. Looking forward to exchanging ideas with teams and experts from CKEditor, Contentful, Kentico, Kontent.ai, TYPO3, Sitecore, Umbraco, Webiny, and others, and to bringing Orchard Core perspectives into these discussions. We'll share the key takeaways after the conference. #CMSSummit26 #OrchardCore #Conference #Frankfurt

This week, Majd (Mike) Alhayek shows new features to the AI Suite: Initial Prompt, data extraction, post-session processing, and AI Chat Session Analytics! But before that, check out how Hisham Bin Ateya and Georg von Kries improved the feature dependency display and interactivity, and the new protect global method provider by Majd (Mike) Alhayek! Harvest speaker applications are now open until May 15! If you’ve been considering speaking at Orchard Harvest, this is a great opportunity to share your ideas with the Orchard Core community. Join us on the 10th and 11th of September in Vancouver! Let's see the details 👉 https://lnkd.in/gjN2cqXp #OrchardCMS #OpenSourceDevelopment #WebDevelopment #OrchardCore #AIDevelopment #OrchardHarvest

Excited to share the latest updates to the AI Suite for Orchard Core! 🚀 Majd (Mike) Alhayek introduced several powerful new features designed to enhance both user experience and insights: 🔹 Initial Prompt: Instantly kick off conversations with a predefined assistant message. When configured, every new session starts with this prompt, and it's automatically visible in the chat history. 🔹 Data Extraction and Post-Session Processing: Once a session ends, AI-powered analysis runs on the full conversation transcript, enabling deeper insights and structured data extraction. 🔹 AI Chat Session Analytics: Gain a comprehensive view of every interaction. Track session duration, message volume, resolution outcomes, response latency, token usage, and user feedback; all through an interactive, filterable admin dashboard. Curious to see these features in action?

What if your content team could build pages faster without developer help? Nick Jackson presented the enhanced block editor and its new capabilities: - Insert blocks exactly where you need them. - Duplicate sections instantly. - Copy blocks across pages. - Create reusable global blocks for shared content. Less friction. Less repetition. More control in the hands of editors. Watch the full demo to see how these improvements streamline real editorial workflows 👉 https://lnkd.in/dKVgxCpD #OrchardCMS #OrchardDemo #OpenSourceDevelopment #WebDevelopment #OpenSource #DotNet #OrchardCore

This week, Majd (Mike) Alhayek shows how to use Copilot directly inside Orchard Core! But before that, check out some code where you can see that, starting now, Orchard supports static data migration methods, and suppressions are no longer required for migration steps that don't use instance state. Welcome the first contribution from Jack Liu, who made the pagination of the List Part configurable to decide whether to show a full pager with page numbers or just the arrows to navigate to the previous and next pages. Do you know that since 2013, we've been working with Óbuda University in a hands-on way to teach web development? If you are interested in our Orchard Core courses at the university, check out our post on our site! As we mentioned, we started publishing last year's Harvest recordings to YouTube. Check them out for some inspiration, and don't forget to apply to be a speaker for this year's Harvest by the 5th of May, midnight, anywhere on Earth! Ready to explore?
