Creating a module with Orchard


The 'create a module' walkthrough for Orchard doesn't work with the code in the Orchard Mercurial repository at the head of the default or dev branches. Anyone know how I can create a new Orchard module with something later than the 0.1 release from March?

It'd be great if there was an updated sample module available in the source somewhere, but I can't see any apart from the builtin modules, which don't tie into the main menu and are all very complicated - a 'hello world' one would be much better!

I realise Orchard's not officially released, yet, but I'm trying to use it for a simple CMS for a new project I'm just starting (hopefully I'd be able to get it working with a later version of Orchard by release time).


Solution

  • Found it. There's a new configuration setting that lets you turn on and off modules. Modules are now disabled by default.

    You can turn modules on in admin > features.
