What problem does it solve?

Orchard Core projects often require consistent widget definitions, placements, and visibility rules across themes. This skill provides a structured approach to creating widget content types, assigning them to zones, and controlling rendering with layers.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Define Widget content types with the Widget stereotype and required parts.
• Configure zones, layers, and LayerRules to govern visibility and placement.
• Provide migrations, recipes, and templates to accelerate Orchard Core authoring.
• Real-world scenarios include building a header hero widget, side-panel widgets, and footer widgets with layer-based visibility.

Quick Start

Create a new widget content type named HeroBanner, assign it to the Header zone, and enable an Always layer to ensure it is visible by default.
