Concrete 5.5 Composer not saving drafts correctly

Permalink
Hi all,

I'm just poking around with v5.5 to see if the Composer functionality will work for a site I'm working on. I've got the "Blog Entry" page setup for use with Composer... and I have all of the fields I want showing in the order I want.

The problem is when I try to save a new entry (not actually Publish it), sometimes it says it has successfully saved, but when you go to the "Drafts" list, it shows an "Un-titled Page" in the list... and when you click on it to edit it, it has lost the Title and Description fields.

This is a stock install of 5.5 on MAMP... and I'm editing through Firefox 9.

Anyone else have this trouble? Or have any ideas where I could look to try and fix it?

This was actually the first thing we fixed in github in preparation
for 5.5.1. You can manually patch your install if you'd like or wait
to 5.5.1. I believe it's this commit:

Thanks, Andrew. Is there a spot I should be watching to see the reporting (and resolution) of issues with 5.5.0?

I would think that the release notes for 5.5.1 would say what has been fixed, etc.....and since 5.5.0 is not officially out as a stable release (*marked as stable) I am thinking that they will skip 5.5.0 and jump to 5.5.1 as the next stable release, but since I have no affiliation with the dev team, I have no idea if that is a correct statement or not :)

The release notes should have at least a line for each bug that was fixed. If you look at the previous release notes page, those items are in there: http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/background/version_history/5...

Thanks, Pendragn (Merlin fan?).

I guess what I'm wondering is if there is an ongoing discussion on the forums, or a place on GitHub, where I could watch to see as new "issues" with 5.5.0 are being patched (like these were), so that I know I'm operating with the newest, best-bet code before posting an issue.

Thanks!

I have not found one. I really wish there was one, as I spent an hour+ wondering why (on my first attempt at trying the functionality) I was not able to see a member profile once I enabled all of the switches to turn on the user functionality.

After ma ton of searching I found a post that there was an accidental blank file in the Greek Yogurt theme that they found early on and that bug was fixed and posted for 5.5.1 Wish I had found that earlier...though the search led me to learn a bit more about the MVC architecture of C5...

Maybe there is a bug tracking list but I have not seen it on the main C5 site....maybe in git or something, but I do not know.

There is no live feed of what issues are being fixed as they are being fixed, but we are working out of the live 5.5.0 bug tracker:

http://www.concrete5.org/developers/bugs/5-5-0/...

If you include closed items and filter by last activity you can see items are they updated and closed.
