Creating an Instagram layout element for Orchard CMS

A sweet feature in orchard is the layouts module, that lets you create complex page layouts from a drag and drop editor. It had also been well thought out with little extras. One is the ability to create layout elements, complete with configuration options, by simply creating the display shape in your theme. Let’s give it a whirl.

Sending JSON from a WebRequest workflow activity in Orchard CMS

An option for the web request workflow activity is to post your data as JSON. Cool. Unfortunately, due to how orchard evaluates tokens prior to the workflow activity execution, the JSON you enter will be lost. A question on stack overflow brought this issue up, and since I have nothing else to pollute the blogosphere with I’m just rehashing my answer on here.

Storing JSON in an Orchard workflow activity

When Orchard executes a workflow activity, it evaluates any tokens stored in the data for that activity before sending it to the activity. Because JSON is recognised as a token by Orchard (both use curly braces!), Orchard will attempt to evaluate it, fail and replace it with an empty string. So in your activity, you will have nothing!
