🫒 General information​

Version 5 brings an upgrade to OrchardCore 1.8. It also includes a range of handy features – such as AI translations, project maps for developer projects, and the ability to use your own logo in the CMS.

🔥 Breaking change​

OrchardCore updated to version 1.8.

  • .NET 8 support

🆙 Updates​

Static site cache​

Cache clearing improvements – automatic clearing of an entire culture or website by content type*

Option to define what belongs in cache based on cookie + set cache duration*

Front-end​

Spacing adjustments, fixed widget visibility controls*

🖍️ Fixes​

  • PostgreSQL support
  • GraphQL fixes

🆕 New features​

OpenAI translations***​

Translate content on your website quickly and easily. We've added the option for automatic translations using ChatGPT.

Project map*​

A practical feature especially for developer projects. It allows you to embed a background map (e.g. a house visualization) on the website, to which you add polygons defining individual parts of the project (e.g. floors of a building).

Through them, visitors can click through to more detailed maps, or to a specific building's page.

You can see how it works in action at the Nové Bosonohy project.

Project map example

Form extensions*​

We added a new "Parts" element that allows you to flexibly extend forms with additional fields. What can it be used for in practice? One of our clients has a service form on their website where customers can add rows for machine parts they want to claim. Or if you organize yoga classes and need a group registration form – the new form element can help with that too.

We also added the ability to send attachments in confirmation e-mails. They can be public (anyone can open them), protected by a unique code (which you need to know to access the information), or behind a login (a private file no one else can see).

PostgreSQL support**​

In combination with Olive, it is now possible to use the free PostgreSQL database.

Your logo in the CMS*​

Would you like your company's logo in the CMS? No problem – we can replace the Olive icon with your brand.

Notes​

* changes are not automatically applied when upgrading to a new version of the system. The update does allow adding them to older versions as well.

** migration to PostgreSQL requires content migration + a DB instance.

*** automatic translations require activation as well as your own API key.
