The "tags" feature of the Lombiq blog is driven by Associativy
In the blog of Lombiq posts are tagged, or at least so it seems. In reality the blog's tags are driven by Tag Nodes that offers a very lightweight way of building Associativy graphs. This gives the blog more flexibility on how to display and fetch related items as well as opens up the possibility to show the whole graph in the future. more

Tag Nodes module released
Lombiq recently released another new Associativy module, Tag Nodes. The module lets you use an Associativy graph just as you would use simple tags: nodes can be added pretty much like tags, but still, there is a proper graph in the background with all the Associativy goodies. Check it out! more

Associativy driving Orchard Dojo's graph
I recently co-founded Lombiq Technologies Ltd., a company focusing on Orchard services. One of our first products is Orchard Dojo: it's a website about Orchard trainings and self-taught learning. The whole content of Orchard Dojo is organized in an Associativy graph (and no other form of categorization or tagging is used), the Orchard Dojo Graph. We're currently using it just for displaying related contents but interesting other uses will come in the future. more

What you can see will be part of the upcoming release and is already available for testing in the source code. There is a new branch called 1.7 too. It contains some code that works only with the latest source (building up the upcoming v1.7) of Orchard, taking advantage of the new feature of being able to have multiple search indices.

Don't create more than one ad-hoc graph please!
Ad-hoc graphs, i.e. graphs that are simply creatable from the admin UI are not meant for storing anything of serious size. For that you really should implement your own graph provider what's not really complex. The upcoming release of Associativy will feature much better ad-hoc graph support (remember: automatically generated tag graphs are ad-hoc graphs too!) but the migration is not very easy. To keep things simple please don't create more than one ad-hoc graph for now. Migration will only be … more

Associativy officially released!
Associativy modules, although published, weren't really released till now, but now they're on the Orchard Gallery! So it's possible to install them from the Orchard dashboard conveniently, not just by downloading or cloning the source from the project websites. (Be aware that Associativy Administration is not yet on the Gallery, because the upload gives an "access denied" error every time... If you want to install it from a nupgk, download it from here.) more

Associativy projects updated to Visual Studio 2012 and Orchard 1.6
All the Associativy modules' project files were updated to the Visual Studio 2012 project file format (don't worry if you're using 2010 still: it's backwards compatible).
Also the main Associativy dev solution was updated to Orchard 1.6 (or even to a younger changeset fixing dynamic compilation).
All in all everything is now latest and greatest :-). more
