How do I scaffold a new Orchard Core theme with the correct project structure?▼

Scaffolding an Orchard Core theme requires a Manifest.cs file, a valid project folder structure, and Razor or Liquid templates. This setup generates a ready-to-customize theme with zones and asset pipelines for seamless runtime builds.

Can I use Liquid templates instead of Razor for Orchard Core theme layouts?▼

Yes, Orchard Core theming supports both Liquid and Razor templates for layouts and shapes. You can use Liquid templates to customize theme zones and layout structures without relying solely on Razor syntax.

What is the best way to manage assets and zones in an Orchard Core theme?▼

Managing assets and zones in Orchard Core involves theme scaffolding that configures asset pipelines alongside layout customization. This approach ensures correct folder structure and seamless runtime behavior for stylesheets and scripts.

Do I need a Manifest.cs file to build a custom Orchard Core theme?▼

Yes, a Manifest.cs file is required to build a custom Orchard Core theme. It defines theme metadata and is necessary alongside correct folder structure to ensure seamless builds and proper runtime behavior.

Why does my Orchard Core theme fail to build correctly after adding custom templates?▼

Orchard Core theme builds fail when the correct folder structure is not maintained for Razor or Liquid templates. Ensuring proper placement of Manifest.cs and asset pipelines prevents runtime behavior and build issues.
