Using MVC Extensions in Orchard CMS

created 14 years ago

Hi,
I am planning to use Orchard CMS for our next project… But I don't like it's inbuilt editor…
I was wondering if I could use DevExpress MVC Extensions with Orchard CMS and replace their default editor with DevExpress Editor which is far more superior…
Have you guys tried it before… If so, can you guide me in this direction?

Hello Preetham,
Thank you for your question. I am afraid that we have not tested our extensions in any CMS. However, I think that the Orchard CMS uses general MVC principles that you may try to use: Editor Templates. If I am correct in my assumption, you may try to create own templates for custom .NET types.
Please check the How to create editor templates using DevExpress MVC extensions example demonstrating how to create custom templates for some types and let me know if you find it helpful.
