Hi guys, I have a site that I'm optimizing for SEO built with symphony and I am unable to give a different title tag to each page they seem to be connected somehow. If anyone knows of an extension or has a useful resource I would appreciate it. Thanks

@RonVargas01 Hi! You can try to change the page name in the CMS. If you want the title to be edited in the content, you need a simple field for that

@jonmifsud
@RonVargas01 it depends how it was set up. There’s a good chance that you have no SEO Fields created/set-up
Assuming you want to do Meta and all you may need a developer to have a look and make the necessary tweaks so you could do all you need from the CMS

Ok thanks guys, I'm unable to get in touch with the dev so that might take a while. Does anyone have any resources or articles that would help to set up those SEO feilds, I normally work with Wordpress and magento and I've been looking but there don't seem to be many resources other than the main site.

@jonmifsud
@RonVargas01 no there aren’t much; usually depending on the structure you would create fields within an existing data section OR a separate section where the SEO fields go in. I’ve seen both approaches used. Unfortunately I don’t have it well documented from my end.
If the Dev is completely unavailable ping us back - maybe someone can help you get it set up if you have the right access.

@RonVargas01
@jonmifsud Thanks for you help. I'll try to contact the dev again and hopefully get that set up.

Are you uploading files to the site via FTP?
Nicolas Brassard
@nitriques
@RonVargas01 that's a server configuration issue
Ronald Vargas
@RonVargas01

I get this error trying to run a Symphony 2.6.3 site on PHP 5.6 / MySQL 5.7
Thanks @jonmifsud what exactly does that mean? Malformed data in the database?

@jonmifsud
& to & somewhere or something similar not sure if you may need an update of symphony. If you debug the page (assuming you can login to backend you may pick it up

Hello all, I'm using the Association field to store data on a member, but when I update the value using an event it removes all items except the new one. The field name is set up like fields[handle][]which should allow for multiple values, but it's still stripping out existing ones. Does the Association Field need to be treated differently? I thought it was a multi selectbox behind the scenes.

@pixelninja When you update the value you should send all existing values also..

Greetings everyone! I updated a multilingual page (the relevant extensions: “Field: Multilingual Text Box”, “FLang detection gTLDs”, “Frontend Localisation”, “Languages”, “Page Lhandles”; Symphony and all extensions up-to-date) with Arabic (till then only left-to-right languages: German, French, Spanish, and English). This lead to an Symphony Fatal Database Error after filling the Arabic part of the text box and trying to save: “Data too long for column 'handle-ar' at row 1”. Going back and only keeping a few Arabic words within the field however worked out: saved successfuly. Guessing it may be due to the particular charset range I then tested with the full text from the German tab which interestingly enough also lead to the same Fatal Database Error. Only keeping a few German words in the Arabic field worked again. Anyone encountered such a behaviour before?
Wannes Debusschere
@wdebusschere
@Lindworthy Do you have the latest version of all extensions you are using?
Please confirm you are not using 3.5.19 of the Multilingual Field
Lindworthy
@Lindworthy
@wdebusschere Ah, thanks that one slipped through indeed – I used 3.5.18 yet and gonna check with the updated extension ASAP. Till soon!
Wannes Debusschere
@wdebusschere
@Lindworthy Please let me know if that was the problem

@diomed
hello xslt, my old friend
@wdebusschere do you maybe work with vue?
Wannes Debusschere
@wdebusschere
@diomed Just experimenting a bit, but i always return to symphony in combination with some javascript or jquery

@diomed
@wdebusschere what do you think about Gridsome? I think it'd be worth it to make a 'bridge' where people could use symphony as backend and gridsome as frontend
unfortunately IDK so much about symphony to do it, but I hope maybe you or someone here might like this idea.
Wannes Debusschere
@wdebusschere
Depends on what you want to make
Frontend can be anything..
May Kittens Devour Your Soul
@diomed
I want to avoid XSLT in frontend
Wannes Debusschere
@wdebusschere
I would say XSLT is much faster to learn then learning to connect Gridsome
May Kittens Devour Your Soul
@diomed
and nothing too complicated. just a normal blog
Wannes Debusschere
@wdebusschere
So why complicated things?
A blog is one of the easiest things to make with symphony
If you don't like XSLT, or do not intend to learn it, then symphony is no option..
May Kittens Devour Your Soul
@diomed
isn't using gridsome way around it?
Wannes Debusschere
@wdebusschere
Why would you use symphony then as a backend?
May Kittens Devour Your Soul
@diomed
because it's one of the simplest, most elegant made backends I've ever seen
Jonathan Mifsud
@jonmifsud
@diomed +1 :) - re XSLT what you’re looking for is do-able the problem is I don’t think many here have the time to do what you would like

@Lindworthy
@wdebusschere Updated from 3.5.18 to 3.5.19 & problem’s gone. Thanks for the hint!
