Problems with getting started documentation

[philipcj]

Describe the bug

I have tried to follow this document today:
https://docs.orchardcore.net/en/latest/guides/decoupled-cms/

Orchard Core version

Latest

To Reproduce

1. Create the project
2. Add the nuget package
3. Get as far as Loading a Blog Post from its identifier
4. Get a compile error to the effect of Orchard does not contain GetContentItemByIdAsync

Expected behavior

A tutorial should be easy to follow. I've spent all afternoon on this and not got anywhere :-(

I got past this problem with the help of chatgpt but then the next issue was

@await Orchard.MarkdownToHtmlAsync((string) blogPost.Content.MarkdownBodyPart.Markdown)

This didn't compile either.

Did you reference the OC.Markdown module?

[philipcj]

No, it don't think it said that in the text?

Make sure that using OrchardCore; is there?

[philipcj]

Hi I will try to reply in the next few days. I managed to get round my initial problem by forgetting about the example project, and I managed to create an empty project from the templates which looks like its a good start. I'll try to follow the tutorial again later this week and also try it from my newly created project too. Many thanks.. I'll be in touch shortly.

Hi

I have tried this.

Firstly I cannot use .NET 9.0 because OrchardCore.Cms... doesn't appear to support it.

Secondly I have to comment this out in my _ViewImports.cshtml file

@* @using OrchardSite
@using OrchardSite.Models *@

In the following screen, scroll to the bottom of the page and re-order the Parts like this:

This is where I get lost my screen looks like this

If I try to add a part to add blog post to it, I can't.

I will continue on with this on Friday as I am away for the next two days.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi

I have managed to make it work. Last time, intellisense wasn't working correctly on my computer, so I had to reinstall VS2022 later in the day.

This time, it suggested @using OrchardCore so my page now looks like this

@page "/blogpost/{id}"
@using OrchardCore
@Inject OrchardCore.IOrchardHelper Orchard

@{
var blogPost = await Orchard.GetContentItemByIdAsync(Id);
}

This is the blog post: @blogPost.DisplayText

@functions
{
[FromRoute]
public string Id { get; set; }
}

So I think the original question I had is now answered.

Thanks again for your help.

Hopefully now I can learn how to create Razor templates and make some websites with them!

Regards

Phil

This time, it suggested @using OrchardCore so my page now looks like this

I suggested that in #17991 (comment)

Hopefully now I can learn how to create Razor templates and make some websites with them!

Glad that it works, and let me know if you need any help with Razor

[philipcj]

Hi If you know of any good learning resource for the templates (i.e. Not Razor but how to integrate Orchard, e.g. how to get the data from the CMS into the template). That would be very useful I'm sure. I'll have a good look around when I work on this next (soon...). Thanks again Phil
