basics

Hi,

Just getting to know FarCry 5.02 and making my way (slowly) through
the Jump Start doc. Some very basic questions here, that it would be
great if someone could help me with - or refer me to some doc(s).

* I created some site structure using the quick site build, and that
works ok, but when I create a navigation element (with a page) under
the root I get a little folder icon with an arrow on it - what does
that signify?
* Also - when I create a navigation element with a page like above - I
can see the link appearing as a tab on the website, but the link turns
out like objectid=,
* I have added (and approved) an image to the image library, but when
I click on the "farcy icon" in the rich text editor, everything is
empty.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Hugo,

To answer your questions in order:

1) By default, when you first create a navigation or html page, that item is in draft mode. Additionally, most different types you can create in the site tree have different icons. So the navigation shows up as a folder, the html page as a tiny little white rectangle with i think a corner bent. Both have a draft icon overlai.d

2) For the link to turn out nice (something like /go/about-us) instead of (objectid=XXXX), you need to have friendlyurl's turned on. See information from FC4 (most of the actions stay the same, the layout might have changed) 


3) Check out the following docs, the layout might be slightly different but the idea is the same.


In general, FarCry 4 has many of the same functions and uses, so you can always check out those docs by going to docs.farcrycms.org.

To submit a bug for FarCry (or if you're wondering if a problem you're seeing is a bug) go to bugs.farcrycms.org

Hope that helps!

Tomek,

I have been experimenting with FC running on OpenBD - and I am seeing way
too many problems now when I compare it with CFMX that I just installed
instead. Most of these issues are related to OpenBD. In my opinion Farcry is
NOT ready on OpenBD yet (or the opposite!).

| 1) By default, when you first create a navigation or html
| page, that item is in draft mode. Additionally, most
| different types you can create in the site tree have
| different icons. So the navigation shows up as a folder, the
| html page as a tiny little white rectangle with i think a
| corner bent. Both have a draft icon overlai.d

I was specfically refering to an icon with an arrow, not the draft icon. I
don't see this when I do the same operation when running CFMX8...

| 2) For the link to turn out nice (something like
| /go/about-us) instead of (objectid=XXXX), you need to have
| friendlyurl's turned on. See information from FC4 (most of
| the actions stay the same, the layout might have changed)

This is also an OpenBD issue...

| 3) Check out the following docs, the layout might be slightly
| different but the idea is the same.

I figured out how to play with the media library!

Now I have to uninstall Tomcat/OpenBD and move to CFMX8 - at least for the
time being...

Thanks!

Cheers,
Hugo

Hugo,


For issues relating to integrating something like OpenBD, I recomend the farcry-dev list.

Best,

Tomek
