Problems from the start. (oddly enough)

Hi All,

I am using the sandbox to test this CMS, have extracted to a dir and
pointed a VirtualHost entry at it.

when I go to the http://localhost address I see nothing at all. the
page is blank, I pulled info out using frontend_dev.php as follows;


Notice: Undefined index: file in /usr/local/www/symfony/steercms/
plugins/steerCMSFoundationPlugin/lib/steerCMSThemeTools.class.php on

When i go to localhost/cms I get the the page that shows nav along the
top but whichever one I click I get a 404 inside the centre of the
page.

Suggestions would be appreciated. (I'm a symfony developer of approx 1
year)

Also, when I click any of the nav buttons the link i go to is
localhost/cms//browse (which gives a 404)

Hi,

Seems to be a theme configuration issue.

Can you check if you've got a file called project.yml in your /usr/
local/www/symfony/steercms/config folder?

There needs to be a paragraph that looks like that:

themes:
enabled: true
items:
default:
title: SimplyBlue Base
description: Standard theme for frontend
file: "steerCMSSimplyBlueTheme::layout"
thumbnail: /themes/steerCMSSimplyBlueTheme/images/
thumbnail.png
- title: GreenerPastures Base
description: Steer CMS based theme, don't forget to eat
your greens
file: "steerCMSGreenerPasturesTheme::layout"
thumbnail: /themes/steerCMSGreenerPasturesTheme/images/
thumbnail.png

That file defines the theme configuration and some other project
specific parameters.

As for the 404 errors in the CMS admin. Can you add "backend_dev.php"
to your address like http://localhost/cms/backend_dev.php and send
me the error messages displayed after that so I can check it?

Cheers,

Hi Konny,

cheers for the reply,

I have the project.yml file in the right place and with the part you
mentioned ( and much more of course)

backend_dev.php just presents the same page without the navigation but
with the same 404 when I click admin in the top left. The actual
ouptut the a _dev.php environment usually gives is not present though.

you can see exactly what I mean here; http://www.sedlmayr.co.uk/uploads/assets/steer-cms-problem.swf
in screencast form.

Cheers

Chris

Hi Chris,

Cool screencast ... explains more than words. Good idea.

To the problem. Is it possible for you to check out the SVN TRUNK version of Steer CMS and test with that?

http://www.steercms-project.org/installation

We changed and fixed a lot of small issues in that version and will release and adjusted version of the Sandbox soon too.

Cheers,

Hi Konny,

I don't currently have subversion running (due to a few irritating
problems i've had this last week) so will have to get that sorted in a
spare moment (HA!)
how often do you commit changes to the sandbox release?

Cheers

Chris

Hi Chris,

We release a new Sandbox version after major changes were done on the system.

Minor changes and all other changes are reflected in the SVN Trunk version.
