Orchard on Gabriel Mongeon

Version 1.0 of Orchard

Mon, 14 Feb 2011 17:20:00 -0500

The Orchard project recently released version 1.0 of their product. I had talked about it previously here, and I decided to install it again.

Installation

The installation is done via the Web Platform Installer and I also used Web Matrix on a virtual machine to do my tests. The installation is almost automatic and very pleasant. No need for obscure configuration.

Once installed, you just need to start the Orchard site with the Web Matrix interface to see the initial site configuration page (Site name, admin user, password, database). Again, it is very simple and intuitive.

Orchard Project Beta

Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:35:00 -0400

The 0.5 beta version of the Orchard project has just been released. Here are 4 points that I really like about this engine:

ASP.Net MVC
Allows multiple Wikis under the same site
Management of static pages
AND ABOVE ALL, the ability to translate posts and pages into different languages!! Which is quite rare in this field.

You can download the source code or simply install it with WebPI

Orchard Project - Reusable Applications and Components for ASP.NET

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:53:00 -0500

The Orchard Project aims to create an application and reusable components using ASP.NET. Additionally, in the short term, it will provide a CMS application based on .NET.

Having tested it several times, it seems very promising, but still too immature to consider using it as my Blog engine. But we’ll see….

The source code is available on CodePlex
