Modification in Default Manage Content Grid View Design

[Syed-Hasnain-Askari]

Hey,

The default grid view design of Manage Content in Orchard that is,

but I want to modify it like this one,

Is there's any possible solution for it? I will be grateful for any help you can provide. @Skrypt @ns8482e @lampersky

I think you will need to override the current OrchardCore.Contents modules razor view for achieving that. Though, I can't guarantee that we won't break anything in the future if you go that path. The other option is to copy the entire OrchardCore.Contents module and to rename it and customize it for your own needs.

@Skrypt we have n number of content type and every content type have different fields so we need to show that like in content type register we need to show(firstname,lastname,email) for conact us need to show (email, postal address, mobile number) so how we achieve in that scenario please advise @Skrypt @ns8482e @hishamco @sebastienros

Same thing, you can create specific admin razor templates for each of these content types.

@Syed-Hasnain-Askari currently there is no shared/single view that you can override. However for Cotent Items list you can override ContentsAdminList view

[Syed-Hasnain-Askari]

@if (Model.ContentItems.Count > 0)
    {
    @foreach (var contentItemSummary in Model.ContentItems)
    {
        if (contentItemSummary.ContentItem.ContentType == "contactus")
        {

        <li>@contentItemSummary.ContentItem.Content.contactus.FirstName.Text</li>
        <li>@contentItemSummary.ContentItem.Content.contactus.Pharmacyname.Text</li>
        <li>@contentItemSummary.ContentItem.Content.contactus.Email.Text</li>
        }
else
{
        @await DisplayAsync(contentItemSummary)
}
}
    
 }

This work for me but the issue is that I need all Buttons and checkbox which comes from @await DisplayAsync(contentItemSummary) method

How can I override DisplayAsync(contentItemSummary) for my purpose? I will be grateful for any help you can provide. @ns8482e

[ns8482e]

You don’t need to change most of ContentsAdminList, you override just to add custom things like table column header.

you always render using @await DisplayAsync(contentItemSummary)

Content item that needs column like display you override that content item’s summaryadmin shape and place content fields that needs under specific column using placement

See documentation https://docs.orchardcore.net/en/latest/docs/reference/modules/Templates/#templates-orchardcoretemplates for creating different templates for content types

Please @Syed-Hasnain-Askari use proper Github markdown when sharing blocks of code by using this method:
