In the vein of #3553, I am starting another website using the traditional CMS model.

I start with a blank theme.

What is a widget
Is there only one type of layers, .e.g Widget Layer?

This is a condition to display the layer, a javascript boolean expression interpreted by Jint.

ex: true if always displayed, isHomepage() for the home, url('~/blog*') for a url starting by blog.
We still need to create the corresponding documentation: #3111

When you use other recipes, some layers are created during the setup.

A Widget is a content type that has a Widget stereotype.

Some widgets are created when you use other recipes, like Paragraph, ...

Widgets can also be added in a FlowPage and a WidgetListPart.

Then, you will ask: What is a zone?

You can define them in the admin Zones setting and they have to be the equivalent sections in your theme.

So, to summarize: the Layers page allows you to put widgets in zones for a specific Layer.
Ex: Add a paragraph Widget in the Footer zone on all the pages (= the Always layer).

So, to summarize: the Layers page allows you to put widgets in zones for a specific Layer.

So let me validate my understanding

Does zone comes first then layers?

eg
There's Template

<html>
<body>
   <zone header>
      <Layer One>
      <Layer Two>
   </zone header >

   <zone footer>
       <Layer One>
   </zone footer>
</body>
</html>

or Layer first then Zone

<html>
<body>
     <Layer One>
          <zone header>
          <zone footer>
      </Layer One>
     <Layer Two>
           <zone header>
     </Layer Two>
</body>
</html>

There are only zone sections in the theme.
Ex: {% render_section "Footer", required: false %}

You need to set them in the Zones settings
You declare Layers (which are displayed based on their Rule, the interpreted condition).

It allows you to drag and drop and edit widgets inside the zones for a specified layer.
Ex: You add a paragraph Widget in the Footer zone on all the pages (= the Always layer).

I think a better theme tutorial would start from this layout.liquid and start expanding from here. This layout.liquid is generated by dotnet new octheme.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ Culture.Name }}">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>{% page_title Site.SiteName, position: "before", separator: " - " %}</title>
    
    {% resources type: "Meta" %}

    <!-- INSERT REQUIRED RESOURCES HERE -->
    
    {% resources type: "HeadLink" %}
    {% resources type: "Stylesheet" %}
    {% resources type: "HeadScript" %}
</head>
<body dir="{{ Culture.Dir }}">

    {% render_body %}
    
    <footer>
    {% render_section "Footer", required: false %}
    </footer>
    
    {% script name:"jquery", use_cdn:"true", at:"Foot" %}
    
    {% resources type: "FootScript" %}
</body>
</html>

In the traditional CMS, existing theme isn't really a solution because you cannot alter the files of existing theme. You can't modify a theme and switch it from using bootstrap to using bulma for example.

You have to create a new theme.

You can perform bulk actions by selecting more than one items. If you just select one item, the "Action" dropdown won't be visible.

@dodyg @aghili371 and the cache id and the cache tag

i wanna have dynamic menu:
{% shape "menu", alias: "alias:{{Culture.Name}}-main-menu", cache_id: "{{Culture.Name}}-main-menu", cache_expires_after: "00:00:01", cache_tag: "alias:{{Culture.Name}}-main-menu" %}

i changed the menu alias to:

try assigning these to variables so it looks like

i just need to call a localized blogpost for any blog.
this is my query:

{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "term": {
            "Content.ContentItem.ContentType": "BlogPost"
          }, 
          "term": {
            "Blog.LocalizationPart.Culture": "{{culture}}" 
          }
        },
        {
          "bool": {
            "should": [
              {
                "term": {
                  "Content.ContentItem.ListContentItemId": "{{blogid}}"
                } 
              }
            ]
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

and used loop to get blogpost List:

  {% assign _culture = Culture.Name   %}  
  {% assign blogid = itemblog.ContentItemId %} 

% assign recentBlogPosts = Queries.BlogPosts | query :   blogid: blogid, culture:_culture   %}

how can i pass two parameters in this query?

When you are implementing Bag, don't forget to read this section

<section class="flow">
    {% for item in Model.ContentItems %}
        {{ item | shape_build_display: "Detail" | shape_render }}
    {% endfor %}
</section>

This way different Content Types in your Bag can render itself accordingly instead you having to access each different properties of the Content Type and doing it manually.
