    text
    <p>Here is my scenario...</p> <p>Using Orchard CMS 1.7.1 I have created a custom Content Type named 'VistaImage' using the Orchard UI. This Content Type defines one field based on a Media Library Picker Field, this field is also named 'VistaImage'.</p> <p>A Projection of groups of Vista Images are placed in the 'Featured' Zone as a Widget reference and works well.</p> <p>Using the Shape Tracer on the resulting page(s), the shape hierarchy looks as follows:</p> <pre><code>Zone [Featured] Widget List Content Alt: Content-VistaImage Fields_MediaLibraryPicker Alt: Fields.MediaLibraryPicker-VistaImage Media Parts_Image_Summary </code></pre> <p>What I want to do is to provide alternative shapes from the Content shape downwards. This is easy enough for Content itself and for Fields_MediaLibraryPicker (as the Shape Tracer automatically provides applicable alternatives (as indicated above)).</p> <p>My problem comes in providing alternatives for the Media and Parts_Image_Summary parts.</p> <p>Looking at the documentation for <a href="http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Alternates" rel="nofollow">Alternates</a> on the Orchard web site, I thought that if I created a new shape in my Theme at at /Views/Parts/Image.Summary-VistaImage.cshtml this would get referenced, but it does not (though if I remove the '-VistaImage' the shape does get used, but this would, I believe change this shape for every Content Type, which is not what I want to do).</p> <p>Any advice/direction on how I should approach this requirement would be apprciated.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
