I’m trying to create a Custom Part that just drops text into the page.

  • 0

I’m trying to create a Custom Part that just drops text into the page. I’ve created a part using the GUI that I called “Side Feature” and I added a text field called “Featured”. I am trying put it on the side bar which I created on my layout, but I don’t know how to move it to the sidebar. It shows up on my main content.

How do I move it to the sidebar? I tried using “@Display(Model.Featured)”, but that doesn’t seem to work. I also read about the placement.info file, but I’m not too sure how that would work in this sense.

I couldn’t find a tutorial/blog post online similar to this. Most of them were too advanced. I am very new to Orchard.

    You can’t without code or additional module: sidebar is a zone for widgets, not for content parts. Placement info only works for local zones within the global Content zone.

    If you want to do it through code, follow this: http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2011/03/26/dispatching-orchard-shapes-to-arbitrary-zones.aspx

    If you want to use a module, look for Origami on the gallery.
