Question

I am trying to create a simple setting in Orchard that appears in the settings page. I have created a module which is adding my ContentPart to the settings page and is correctly creating a table in the database but every time the cshtml file is rendered and the property of the record is accessed I keep getting the following NHibernate Record.

No persister for: TekFlow.Contact.TekFlowEmailSettingsPartRecord.
(TekFlow.Contact is the Module name)

Below is all of the code that I am using to create the Record/Part/Handler/Driver needed in Orchard.

 public class TekFlowEmailSettingsPartDriver : ContentPartDriver<TekFlowEmailSettingsPart>
{
    public TekFlowEmailSettingsPartDriver()
    {
        T = NullLocalizer.Instance;
    }

    public Localizer T { get; set; }

    protected override DriverResult Editor(TekFlowEmailSettingsPart part, dynamic shapeHelper)
    {
        return ContentShape("Parts_TekFlowEmailSettings_Edit",
            () => shapeHelper.EditorTemplate(TemplateName: "Parts.TekFlowEmailSettings", Model: part, Prefix: Prefix)
                );
    }

    protected override DriverResult Editor(TekFlowEmailSettingsPart part, Orchard.ContentManagement.IUpdateModel updater, dynamic shapeHelper)
    {
        bool success = updater.TryUpdateModel(part, Prefix, null, null);
        return Editor(part, shapeHelper);
    }
}

public class TekFlowEmailSettingsPartHandler : ContentHandler
{
    public TekFlowEmailSettingsPartHandler(IRepository<TekFlowEmailSettingsPartRecord> repository)
    {
        Filters.Add(new ActivatingFilter<TekFlowEmailSettingsPart>("Site"));
        Filters.Add(StorageFilter.For(repository));
    }
}

 public class TekFlowEmailSettingsPartRecord : ContentPartRecord {
     public virtual string SendToEmail { get; set; }
}

 public class TekFlowEmailSettingsPart : ContentPart<TekFlowEmailSettingsPartRecord>
 {
     public string SendToEmail
     {
         get { return Record.SendToEmail; }
         set { Record.SendToEmail = value; }
     }
 }

 public class TekFlowEmailSettingsDataMigration : DataMigrationImpl
 {
     public int Create()
     {
         SchemaBuilder.CreateTable("TekFlowEmailSettingsPartRecord",
             table => table
                 .ContentPartRecord()
                 .Column<string>("SendToEmail", c => c.WithDefault("[e-mail]").WithLength(255))
             );


         ContentDefinitionManager.AlterPartDefinition(
             typeof(TekFlowEmailSettingsPart).Name, cfg => cfg.Attachable());

         return 1;
     }
 }

Turns out that if your Part and Record are not in your “Models” namespace that this wont work in orchard. When I changed the Namespace for the two classes it worked. Must be an assumption that Orchard is making.
