Page Types

Permalink
I am getting so frustrated with the 5.7 version of Concrete. I am having all sorts of problems with Pages Types and Page Templates. Am I the only one? I can't get a page type to show when I'm creating a new page and there's also a page type I can't delete because it says it's in use by another page which I know it is not. I'm just trying to get another page type added and I can't without a lot of errors coming up. This wasn't so difficult before 5.7. There's some other things in there I'm not such big fan of either like the Content block. It's seems very lacking as opposed to the TinyMCE version. Also, if you open the c5 panels on the sides for editing and what not, there isn't any clear way to make them close without reloading the page. What is going on with this CMS I use to like so much? Should I go back a few versions? If so, which one do you guys know of that's really stable.

I included my environment just in case anyone wants to look. I have one successful page type with page template working, but that's it.

Have you looked through the editors guide page?

I know how to do it. I've been a concrete5 user/dev a long time. I'm familiar with the added functionality with 5.7 as well. It just isn't working right. I guess it just has a ways to go with this major release. I downgraded to the latest 5.6.x version and will give it some time for them to work out the kinks.

I have not heard of the problem you are having with Page Types and Page templates.

Have you checked the bug tracker to see if others are experiencing this issue? If no one has reported this issue, I recommend reporting it and including the steps required to repeat the error.

"Also, if you open the c5 panels on the sides for editing and what not, there isn't any clear way to make them close without reloading the page."

I am not sure what you are describing. Do you have more details relating to this?
