Orchard CMS Part placement

Question

I've been struggling with placing specific parts of a Content item in a view. My question is how do I define a cshtml view/shape for a content item for which I can place each part where I want. Consider the following content item:

item
  - Text field
  - Media field

And the following

<div class="my text">
    @Model.TextField1
    <div class="media-item">
        @Model.MediaField
    </div>
</div>
<p> Some text or stuf here or anyehere</p>

I can't seem to find any example of that. It should be a basic view for a content with assigned objects to each part of that content but I am finding it impossible to implement (btw I don't want to use layouts).

Answer 1

If you have a working alternate, say Content-MyContentType.cshtml, you can do the following:

<div class="my text">
    @Display(Model.TextFields)
    <div class="media-item">
        @Display(Model.Media)
    </div>
</div>
<p> Some text or stuf here or anyehere</p>

And then you can do in your placement.info:

<Match ContentType="MyContentType">
    <Place Fields_Common_Text="TextFields" />
    <Place Fields_MediaLibraryPicker="Media" />
</Match>

Note

I am not sure what type of fields your textfields and/or your media is, so you might need to change the Fields_Common_Text and Fields_MediaLibraryPicker to match the types of your fields.
