Express entity attribute missing
Permalink
Hi all,
I recently decided to build a new version of my website with Concrete5, i m just a beginner and have almost no clue about PHP codding (i have some basic html and CSS coding knowledge and i m used to handle a static website managment).
I already tried to edit and customize a basic template, and also got a deep look at Docs to get basics concepts about concrete5 Attributes and Express system.
Something is stopping me to push further tho. Following this part of online documentation
https://documentation.concrete5.org/developers/express/using-the-exp...
i cant add an Express Entity page attribute since i cant see this type of attributes in the Add list of the Dashboard/Pages&Themes/Attributes .
So i m kind of missing all the fun of using attributes and express objects.
Any body can point me about what i m doing wrong or what should be the problem (maybe broken install) ?
Thanks

Hello. Which Concrete5 version are you using?
I m using 8.3.1
I m using 8.3.1, sorry for double post
Any body can help me ?
Try this:
Go to dashboard/system/attributes/types
make sure that, under the column "Collection", the value "Express Entity" is checked.
If not, check it and save and it should solve the problem

Thank you for your reply mnakalay, badly the express entity is not available in the list of attributes types there too.
Please have a look at the attached file

oh Wow that's really weird. I checked with 8.3.1 and I can confirm you are not hallucinating. I also don't have it.
Either they moved it and I have no idea where it is or something is seriously broken.
I posted a bug report in Github.
In the meantime I suggest you use 8.2.1 instead.

Good news: the error was fixed as soon as it was reported:https://github.com/concrete5/concrete5/issues/6325...
Bad(ish) news: you'll have to wait for version 8.3.2

8.3.2 is now available for download
Thank you very much for the report mnakalay,
i m glad i could point out this bug and that there is already an available fix.
Since my 8.3.1 version seems broken at different points, i cant upgrade from dashboard (it is listed in the 8.3.2 Release Notes : Fixed: The current "check for updates" dashboard page doesn't report the latest version because of a bug in the cache reading/writing process ).
So i guess the best way to get a clean install is to delete concrete5 root dir, and delete the corresponding database ? is it correct ?
(anyway i was planning to do it after my baby steps and tests in concrete5 when i would be ready to know how to start clean and better understanding of basic concepts)
Thanks again for the help mnakalay !

Yes, that is correct, delete everything, empty the database and start again.
thank you
