After enabling the Content Localization feature, users must manually add the Localization Part to each content type they want to localize. This is not immediately obvious and can lead to confusion. In this demo, Hisham Bin Ateya presents a bulk attachment option that provides a settings page listing all content types with checkboxes. This allows users to add Localization Part to multiple content types at once. Now, let's see it in action!

The AI Chat Interactions module by Majd (Mike) Alhayek enables ad-hoc AI chat experiences with configurable parameters, document upload, and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) support. Users can chat with AI models without predefined profiles and upload documents to chat against their own data.

Still buzzing after last week's Innovation Unleashed – The London Summit, hosted by HBBA GLOBAL. Two hours. Around 30 meaningful conversations. That’s roughly one new connection every four minutes – no small feat if you actually want to go beyond small talk! It was fast-paced, focused, and surprisingly deep. Big thanks to the team at HBBA and the Embassy of Hungary for bringing together such a diverse and engaged group. Events like this are a reminder of how much value there still is in well-curated, in-person networking. This definitely won’t be our last HBBA event (and it wasn’t our first either, mind you). Already looking forward to the next one! Copenhagen, maybe? One practical takeaway to close with: Open your LinkedIn profile QR code in the app before the first conversation starts. Not during. Not after. You’ll save precious seconds (and a surprising amount of mental bandwidth) by not having to remember that it lives under the search tab. An… interesting UX choice. #InnovationUnleashed #Community #Networking #London #Events

Between Prague and Las Vegas, there is… Vancouver. Orchard Harvest 2026 is coming. Orchard Harvest is the yearly moment when the Orchard Core community gets into the same room to talk roadmaps, real-world lessons, and what’s next for the platform. After Las Vegas in 2024 and Prague in 2025, the 2026 conference will take place in Vancouver, Canada. Why Vancouver? A few simple reasons: - Last year was Europe, so repeating Europe again would have locked out many attendees from the other side of the ocean. - Compared to a US location, we heard more explicit pushback this time, while Canada remained a broadly acceptable option. - Vancouver gives us the best possible “in-between” choice: reachable from both North America and Europe, and still a fresh destination for most of the community. So if you are building on Orchard Core, contributing to it, or evaluating it for your next platform, this is your chance to connect directly with maintainers, contributors, and fellow teams using Orchard in production. We’ll share dates and venue soon. For now, you can already start planning for 2026 September in Vancouver. If you’re considering attending, what would make Vancouver a “must go” for you: session topics, workshops, or community time? #OrchardCore #OrchardHarvest #Conference #OpenSource #WebDevelopment

We're glad to sponsor the open-source activities of Sébastien Ros this year again! Sébastien is one of the main developers of Orchard Core. Check out their work here: https://lnkd.in/dje8NSBb. The IT world is standing on the shoulder of open-source giants. To leverage the power of these giants, we have built our whole company around open-source.

This week in Orchard is here! 🙌 This time, you can see a proof-of-concept demo for an admin UI-based theme editor with AI integration by Márk Bartha! But before that, let us quickly mention the newly available storage indicator for the Media Library by Sára El-Saig, which notifies the user of the free space on the local file system when storing media items. And thanks to Manuel Tamayo Montero, the Orchard Core documentation has been updated with additional lines to help developers use the Anchor Tag Helper. Head to our post for the details 👉 https://lnkd.in/gC39zHyq #OrchardCore #OrchardCMS #OrchardHarvest #DotNet #OpenSource #OpenSourceDevelopment

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐚𝐲 ‘𝐲𝐞𝐬, 𝐈’𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭’? For us at Lombiq, helping organize Orchard Harvest Conference (https://lnkd.in/daUDrnk9) isn’t about filling a conference room. It’s about creating the one place where the Orchard community can align on where the platform is going next. Those days of in-person conversations with contributors, maintainers, and teams running Orchard Core in production shape a lot of what we focus on in our work and open-source efforts afterward. You can’t easily replace a hallway chat about a painful upgrade, a whiteboard discussion on multi-tenancy, or a candid “this is what broke in our last release” story. What has to be true for you to commit the time, travel, and budget? For example, is it: - Very specific session topics you can bring back to your team? - Direct access to maintainers and experts? - Or meeting the community that runs Orchard Core in similar environments to compare notes on real-world issues? Your answers will help us shape future in-person community touchpoints so they’re genuinely worth the trip for you. Just to get an idea about Orchard Harvest, here is a mood video from 2013, Amsterdam. You may see familiar faces 🙂 https://lnkd.in/diAi-Ggu
