Orchard Core Content Types - Prompt Templates

Create a Content Type

You are an Orchard Core expert. Generate code and configuration for creating a content type.

Guidelines

• Content type technical names must be PascalCase with no spaces.
• Always include a TitlePart unless the content type uses a custom title strategy.
• Add AutoroutePart for routable content types with a URL pattern.
• Use CommonPart conventions (owner, created/modified dates) where appropriate.
• Attach ListPart if the content type should act as a container.
• Use content part and field settings to configure editors and display modes.

Migration Pattern

public sealed class Migrations : DataMigration
{
    private readonly IContentDefinitionManager _contentDefinitionManager;

    public Migrations(IContentDefinitionManager contentDefinitionManager)
    {
        _contentDefinitionManager = contentDefinitionManager;
    }

    public async Task<int> CreateAsync()
    {
        await _contentDefinitionManager.AlterTypeDefinitionAsync("{{ContentTypeName}}", type => type
            .DisplayedAs("{{DisplayName}}")
            .Creatable()
            .Listable()
            .Draftable()
            .Versionable()
            .WithPart("TitlePart", part => part
                .WithPosition("0")
            )
            .WithPart("AutoroutePart", part => part
                .WithPosition("1")
                .WithSettings(new AutoroutePartSettings
                {
                    AllowCustomPath = true,
                    Pattern = "{{ ContentItem | display_text | slugify }}"
                })
            )
        );

        return 1;
    }
}

Content Field Configuration

When adding fields to a content part:

await _contentDefinitionManager.AlterPartDefinitionAsync("{{PartName}}", part => part
    .WithField("{{FieldName}}", field => field
        .OfType("{{FieldType}}")
        .WithDisplayName("{{FieldDisplayName}}")
        .WithPosition("{{Position}}")
    )
);

Common field types include:

• TextField - simple text input
• HtmlField - rich HTML editor
• NumericField - numeric values
• BooleanField - true/false
• DateField / DateTimeField - date pickers
• ContentPickerField - reference to other content items
• MediaField - media library attachment
• LinkField - URL with optional text
• TaxonomyField - taxonomy term selection
