Well done guys!

Looking at the release notes is a nice reminder of just how much work has been put into 5.7.

I'm excited to be a part of it, and I can't wait to start my next build!

Looking forward to trying out 5.7.

As a Concrete developer, I have a lot of themes and addons in the marketplace. Is there a guide on what I need to do to make my items compatible with 5.7?

Here's a guide showing you what I had to do to get my (simple) zoom image package working:

The post is longer that it has to be, at the end, it's pretty simple..

Where is the download link for the 5.6.3.2 Beta?

Hi,

Thank you very much for these helpful links !

I'm working on a new theme but i can't get it working..
my package is theme_anitya and my theme is anitya

First it seems that my page_theme.php doesn't have a valid namespace ? :

namespace Concrete\Package\ThemeAnitya;
class PageTheme extends \Concrete\Core\Page\Theme\Theme  {

After for the installation of the theme from the package controller, it seems that i just need to install it as ? :

PageTheme::add('anitya', $this->pkg);

without at the start of the controller : ?

use Concrete\Core\Page\Theme\Theme

And after for installing a page-type, i think that i will need to use :

use Concrete\Core\Page\Type\Type;
// and after in the install function :
$ct = PageType::getByHandle($ctHandle);
  if (is_null($ct)) {
    $ct = PageType::add(array('ctHandle' => $ctHandle, 'ctName' => $ctName), $this->pkg);
  }

are you deriving your package controller from PageTheme?
Can you please post the whole theme so we can see everything in context?

Thanks Remo, here the zip file of the WIP Anitya

Someone who didn't work with PHP namespaces I guess ;-) If you want to use the name PageTheme, you'll have to alias it. Instead of this

use Concrete\Core\Page\Theme\Theme;

use this

use Concrete\Core\Page\Theme\Theme as PageTheme;

you might also be able to use the aliases set by concrete5, check thishttps://github.com/concrete5/concrete5-5.7.0/blob/master/web/concret...

Thank you Remo, you're right namespace is a bit 'space' for me !
The same error appear always on page :
Class \Concrete\Theme\Anitya\PageTheme does not exist

Remo replied on Sep 14, 2014 at 5:30 am Permalink Reply

that's probably because of a bug in 5.7..

This code:
https://github.com/concrete5/concrete5-5.7.0/blob/master/web/concret...

Checks whether your theme has a custom controller or not and since your theme doesn't have one, it shouldn't set pThemeHasCustomClass to 1.. If you check your PageThemes table, you can see that pThemeHasCustomClass is 1, set it to 0 and the problem is gone..

(If you have any more questions, please create a new discussion)

UPDATE: Sorry, you do have a custom controller, but its namespace has to be changed too

UPDATE 2: It seems like page theme controller are only loaded if they are part of the corehttps://github.com/concrete5/concrete5-5.7.0/blob/master/web/concret... Probably needs a change for 5.7.1..

Yeah we kind of screwed this up pretty hard. We will be doublechecking package installation and uninstallation with themes, blocks, single pages and attributes today, make sure it's solid and then get 5.7.0.1 out the door so that marketplace developers have something really stable to work with.

Hi.
Did you solve the problem?
I installed concrete 5.7.0.4 and after that, I loaded the theme Anitya to Application, everything was fine untill I tried to install the theme from my dashboard and the same error appear always on my page :
Class \Concrete\Theme\Anitya\PageTheme does not exist.

Hi,

Can you try with the last version of concrete ?

Congrats c5 Team & Community!

5.7 is a beautiful revamp, with great development tools upgrades.
I'm really impressed by the hard work done since the first alpha snapshot last year.

Looking forward for some migration tools and community involvement.

Since 5.7 is now using Doctrine, instead of the old ADODB stuff, is there any plan to ditch the db.xml files and rely on Doctrine ORM completely for packages etc… ?

if so, any guidlines would be appreciated :)

Remo replied on Sep 14, 2014 at 5:30 am Permalink Reply

The db.xml functionality was ported to doctrine (on purpose I guess)

goutnet replied on Sep 14, 2014 at 5:36 am Permalink Reply

Well I guess the purpose could be "to make the legacy addons work" :)

What about new ?

andrew replied on Sep 15, 2014 at 10:00 am Permalink Reply

To my surprise Doctrine doesn't appear to have a portable database schema format. They do have their mapping file XML, but that's just the ORM. We use the ORM for some things in 5.7 (mostly as a proof of concept) and it's there for developers, but I can't imagine getting the core to a place where we wouldn't need db.xml files because everything was in ORM.

If there is a portable schema language for Doctrine DBAL (the database layer below ORM that we use for everything instead of ADODB) I'd love to know about it. Right now as Remo said we've just written our old parser for AXMLS files, and it actually works pretty well.

exchangecore replied on Sep 15, 2014 at 10:29 am Permalink Reply

Not to hijack the thread, but I believe you hinted that the doctrine migrations stuff did manage to get in to the core over onhttps://github.com/concrete5/concrete5-5.7.0/issues/447...

So it might be "feasible" to ditch the db.xml files in a trade off for using those. Then we're using more of a programming interface and less of a markup formatting though.

andrew replied on Sep 15, 2014 at 12:35 pm Permalink Reply

that is true - but i wish that something could actually generate that code if that's the case. That was one of the nice features of ADODB's AXMLS (which we now no longer have), the ability to generate the schema file.

BTW found some minor issue about the parser, the type in the XML file need to be uppercase for it to work ;) otherwise it just generate an error … (still working onto fully grasping 5.7 code anyway).

That said, I guess that since now we are going to use our own flavor of XML code, at least we can maintain it better (and document it better too).

goutnet replied on Sep 15, 2014 at 3:22 pm Permalink Reply

BTW, just posted a pull request to fix that onehttps://github.com/concrete5/concrete5-5.7.0/pull/1087...
