5.7 Viability
Permalink 2 users found helpful
Hello Friends ::
I want to start a discussion about adopting 5.7
In talking with our C5 friends and colleagues in-person and reading the boards here, I'm getting widely mixed reviews about the viability of using Concrete 5.7 for mission critical sites.
We've tinkered with it a bit in our own dev environment, and it seems ok. We're very excited about the features, usability and what the current build shows for the future of C5. That said, the varying opinions of 5.7 have us approaching any use with trepidation.
So, I'm hoping to hear some real-world experience with you all and perhaps even links to some live sites you all have built with 5.7 for your clients.
In advance, I appreciate your thoughts and sharing so that myself and others can learn.
Thank you!
Marc

thanks for joining the conversation @titanve! I appreciate your insight.
@stressdesign do you know how to do that? I'm calling the php (RESTful API) via AJAX in order to GET, POST, PUT and DELETE data from the db.
Thank you
Thank you
I won't be much help here. I think you should start a new thread with this info for better feedback on your issue. cheers!
Hello, I already did it, but no answers yet. Thank you
Which mixed reviews?
Honestly, I've certainly seen plenty of debate over some of the UX choices we made. I've also taken plenty of heat from marketplace developers on the way we launched 5.7 and the impact that's had on 5.6 sales. Beyond that, the only issue I've heard is that the editing interface is slow on really low end budget sites like GoDaddy.
I don't know of any critical bugs, big security concerns, or visitor facing performance issues that have been resolved in the last few point releases of 5.7. We're working with it for large organizations on a number of projects. Here's a 5 star golf resort site on 5.7:http://www.palmettodunes.com
Certainly we're always improving 5.7.
Unless you can help me see something more specific, I think your concerns are out of date.

Dear @frz
Can you help me find out why I cant get the logged in User info in a external script?
I used to do it in Ver. 5.6.3.3 without troubles, but now it's been impossible to do it.
Thank you in advance

I already have done that. I created both posts and I got no help. So Im kind of desperate because I cannot get and check the user information in order to send (via Ajax) db data. Can you just please help me?
Anyone?
This is why the forums are here, right?
Please!

@MrKD.... awesome. Thanks for sharing. Gorgeous site too.
Thanks Frz.
I appreciate your comments and this is exactly why I posted this here. It's entirely possible that my concerns are out of date. I suspect I'm not alone, and wanted to hear some real-life feedback.
Looks like some other people are adding to the discussion, too. Which is great.

I started using the new c5 at version 5.7.3. Did some small sites and had a few problems with some minor bugs. Those are now (5.7.4) eliminated and all my customers are very happy with their sites. I'd say even more, they feel more comfortable than with the old c5.
For me as a developer its a huge step forward and I just love it!
So I'd definitely recommend to use the new c5!
