Training for Concrete5 Version 8?
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Is there any training documentation available for Concrete5 version 8??
I've been away from building with C5 for about a year now, but it seems i've lost a lifetime of ability with the new version!
I've stopped monitoring this thread, as it's clear to me i'll get no help here.
Thanks anyway!

Are you looking for developer training or editor training? There is some documentation here -https://documentation.concrete5.org/developers...
Editor to start with. That's all for 5.7; I'm looking for documentation on version 8.
As ear as editing, not much changed between 5.7 and 5.8 other than the content block, so that's still your best documentation
Uhm... what? I'm not sure what you mean by, "As ear as...".
I'm also not sure what minor changes between 5.7 and 5.8 have to do with my request.
To be clear, again, i'm looking for information on version 8. Not version 5.7, not version 5.8, not any other version than version 8.

It doesn't take a genius to work out that what @hutman mean't when he wrote "As ear as" was "As far as" is his reply to you.
And for your information 5.8 IS version 8!

Ah, yes, here we are, with some loudmouth who insists on jacking the thread with insults and such.
It also doesn't take a genius to spell correctly, or proof read a post before submitting it. For all I know there's some special term used with C5, or perhaps in web development, that i'm not familiar with, which is why I kindly pointed it out.
Further, if you check the links below, you'll see there's versions 5.87.x AND version 8.1, which means version 8 is NOT version 5.8. Now, I am, of course, only going along with what CONCRETE5 has posted on their official website, but perhaps one needs to be a genius to somehow manipulate the data to fit your statement.

Good Luck.
Thank you so much! I'm sure the information i'm after will turn up, it always does! :D
Version 8 is the same as 5.8.x, which has very few changes from 5.7.x (Version 7), so the documentation that you are looking for ishttps://documentation.concrete5.org/editors...
We all understand that to a newcomer this can be quite confusing but the community tries it's best to provide support. It's very possible that there is a typo or some confusing information on the official Concrete5 pages, after all we're all just human and sometimes typos do happen.

I'd be inclined to agree with you, except there are a half-dozen pages on the official concrete5 website showing version 5.7, version 8.0, and version 8.1.
If version 5.8 and 8.0/8.1 were the same, then why would they have both?
That makes about as much sense as the keyboard bully who popped up earlier.
I'll go ahead and look for help elsewhere; thanks anyway!

As Hutman explained:
version 7 = 5.7.x.x
version 8 = 5.8.x.x
When version 8 came along they changed the way versions where referred too. Instead of being 5.x.x.x they call them version x.

So in other words, they've rebranded the versions? Like how Apple rebranded OSX to macOS?
It doesn't explicitly state in that blog that versions hence forth will be called 8.x.x, just that 8 is backwards compatible with 7.
What I got from the blog is that 5 placeholder is there because of the name Concrete"5". 5.7 is Version 7 and 5.8 is Version 8. It gets confusing very quickly to a newcomer for sure thinking that the 5 placeholder is actually version 5 point 7, version 5 point 8.
I honestly thought it went from version 5 to version 8, skipping 6 and 7.
Is that right?
*EDIT*
When I used to view source of my page, it would say "concrete5 - 5.7.x.", now it just says "concrete5 - 8.1.0". That just means it went from version 7 to version 8 right, NOT version 5 to 8?

From the first line of the Blog...
"In order for everyone to understand and follow Semantic Versioning 2.0 we are going to remove the leading 5 from our versioning. The next major version of concrete5 is going to be Version 8.0.0."
For an example of how versions are numbered, see this page..
http://www.concrete5.org/developers/developer-downloads/...
So taking version 5.7.5.13 as an example..
5(Concrete Leading Prefix).7(Major Version number).5(Minor Update number).13(Patch file number)
