Hi I am just trying to find out how would I manually resolve IOrchardServices so I can call:

var themePath = services.WorkContext.CurrentTheme.Path;

to then register bundles for bundling and minification?

 

I don't want to hardcode the theme's path if i can help it..

 

Sorry I've never used autofac and the docs haven't got an example I could find.

Cheers,

Tom

What do you mean manually?

If you just add it as a parameter in your constructor, you should get an instance....

public class Something : IDependency {
   public Something(IOrchardServices services){
        //etc.
   }
}

 Thanks so much for the reply.. I was wondering how do i then create a new Something()

do I have to use DependencyResolver.Resolve?

basically I'm trying to create some bundles for styling

namespace Orchard.Web
{
public class BundleConfig
{
public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
{
//var services = container.Resolve<IOrchardServices>();

//var themePath = orchardService.WorkContext.CurrentTheme.Path;
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/css").Include(themePath + "/Styles/bootstrap.css", themePath + " /Styles/responsive.css"));
}
}
}

of course I'd string.Format and get things neat but just wanted to illustrate the concept..

Cheers,
Tom

You don't. You get them injected as a constructor parameter.

 So then in app start if i want to register my bundles how would that look.. currently im using:
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);

IOrchardService would need to be a static field in order to reuse it in my RegisterBundles method

You don't have access to app start. What are bundles?

 mvc4 uses them but you can get them working in earlier versions.. they allow bundling/grouping and minification of scripts, css files etc so you only serve one file for all your scripts and one for your css

really nice stuff

Maybe the combinator module will solve your issue?  http://combinator.codeplex.com/

oh, that? Yes, that won't work currently with Orchard. At least, I don't think it can. There is a module on the gallery for that however: http://gallery.orchardproject.net/List/Modules/Orchard.Module.Piedone.Combinator

 I have it working with orchard if I hardcode the theme path it works beautifully with dotless and everything.. my main issue is just working out how i could make the theme path dynamic by using the IOrchardServices instance

Yes, that's the issue and why I said I don't think you can make it work with the current Orchard because it probably relies on setting-up global stuff and doing so very early, which a module can't do. Then again I've never looked at the details. The combinator module seems to be the way to go for now.

You could use the IOrchardShellEvents interface (this is one way to do things during orchard startup)... create a BundlesConfig.cs file inside your module, reference your System.Web.Optimization.dll which is not included in Orchard out of the box, and add the following code:

 

using JetBrains.Annotations;
using Orchard.Environment;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Optimization;

namespace Orchard.jQuery.Ias
{
    [UsedImplicitly]
    public class BundlesConfig : IOrchardShellEvents
    {
        public Startup()
        {
            // this is called more than once
        }

        void IOrchardShellEvents.Activated()
        {
            BundleCollection bundles = BundleTable.Bundles;
            bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery").Include(
                        "~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js"));
        }

        void IOrchardShellEvents.Terminating()
        {

        }
    }
}
