Pluralsight Advanced - Movie Content not displayed in Content table

I am walking through Pluralsight Advanced Orchard course. I just created the Movie module and created a sample movie. It was working fine but I did notice that the sample movie did not show up in Manage Content page.

enter image description here

I can only get to the list by going to Content Definition and select "List Items"

enter image description here

Then I can see the list of Movie item

This is what I got so far. I followed the steps and don't see what I have missed. I did notice that Orchard has changed slightly from 1.4 to 1.10 appearance wise. I wonder if this also has something to do with the version difference.

Any tips would be appreciated! Thank you

namespace Pluralsight.Movies {
public class Migrations : DataMigrationImpl {

    public int Create() {

        ContentDefinitionManager.AlterTypeDefinition("Movie", builder=> 
            builder.WithPart("CommonPart")
                .WithPart("TitlePart")
                .WithPart("AutoroutePart")
                .WithPart("BodyPart")
                .Creatable()
                .Draftable());
        return 1;
    }

    public int UpdateFrom1()
    {
        ContentDefinitionManager.AlterTypeDefinition("Movie", builder =>
            builder.WithPart("BodyPart", partBuilder=>partBuilder.WithSetting("BodyTypePartSettings.Flavor", "text")));
        return 2;
    }
}
Solution

  • Try to add .Listable() into your type definition. Note that if you already ran those migrations, unless you reset the database, it won't execute again, so you'll have to put it into a UpdateFrom2() method.

    Note that this setting can also be checked from the content definition screen after the fact.

    Note: I think the PluralSight course was written at a time when this setting didn't exist, and everything was listable.
