Symphony.

Well visually there is already buttons styled which can be utilised. Perhaps a simple button like the Delete button, but with the text Edit Template or Edit XSLT.

Or it can be as simple as a text link.

I could mock something up, but wouldn’t want to step on the toes of Allen or Scott.

I think mockups would be welcome regardless. How about starting a new thread with a mockup and we can continue discussion there (keeping this for 2.0.3 release notes).

Ok, I’ll do that.

Has anyone had problems with the 2.0.3 install? Everything seems okay until I try and login… where it just bounces me. Never had this before. I’m running MAMP if that helps.

Try deleting your cookie and try logging in again.

Which browser are you using? In the past there have been problems with logging in with Firefox using MAMP (which I think we fixed).

I have also problems to login!

Which browser are you using?

The new Firefox 3.5! With Version 3.0xx no problem.

I’ve upgraded to Firefox 3.5 and can’t replicate the problem using MAMP.

Could you post a full description (your system configuration etc) onto the Issue tracker?

I clear all cookies and then I restart Firefox again - it works!

Hi… some more detail on my 2.0.3 login issue.

I’m running MAMP 1.7.2 on OSX 10.5.7

The install of Symphony is fresh off the site into a newly created database. I’m using Firefox 3.5 as of today, but it didn’t work with 3 either. I’ve also tried Safari (4.0.1).

I’ve tried cookie deletion but still no joy.

Very odd.

The other possible problem is your login credentials in your DB.

1. Check the activity log: http://site.com/symphony/system/log/ and see if you have any errors there
2. Check your sym_authors table. Is there an entry? Is the username and password fields correct?

@Allen, thanks for your suggestions. I’ve checked the sym_authors table and everything looks good. The http://site.com/symphony/system/log/ directory however doesn’t seem to be present. I’ve checked the install log and it’s all clear. /headscratch

To balance this all out, I have manged to install 2.0.3 on Windows running Apache 2.x and MySQL 5 no problems. Even used the same DB name, paths and credentials.

Any further help or ideas are appreciated.

what’s in /manifest/logs/ ?

Point your browser to http://site.com/symphony/system/log/, it’s not a physical directory. Symphony pulls the logs to display from the admin.

Outside of checking the logs, I’m running out of ideas. You can email me with your site’s details and I can take a look around.

Many thanks again Allen for your input.

Manifest/logs is looking okay, just the one file (main), which has no errors or warnings regarding my problem.

As for the http://site.com/symphony/system/log/ link, thanks I hadn’t quite understood that it’s a page not a file :-) However, it requires me to be logged into the symphony backend, the one thing I can’t seem to do.

All very strange and the first time I’ve had any issues with Symphony under MAMP. I get the feeling it’s something with my setup. As such I’m going to do some proper hacking on it and try to get it fixed.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

@neilalbrock: I had similar problems using MAMP at work. I ended up abandoning it completely. There’s some discussion of MAMP problems (and alternatives) here. I think what I ended up doing was uninstalling MAMP, uninstalling OS X’s built-in Apache setup, and then installing the AMP environment using MacPorts. Since then, all has worked swimmingly.

I’ll second that. At work we started off using MAMP while developing sites with Symphony, we had some real WTF problems though and I ended up creating a Linux virtual machine as a development server - this makes the most sense since there are multiple developers here, and we wanted the sites to be visible to clients even if our development computers where offline.

That was many months ago however, nowadays we have a dedicated Linux server setup with Apache and suPHP.

I can’t wait for 2.0.4. Not only that it’s nice even number but I downloaded 2.0.3. and have this bug:

Cannot have an optional date field

so I can’t make any articles.

Hopefully that’ll be fixed and I’ll love symphony even more.
