Understood. Just to be clear, I like PHPVMS and gives me what I need. (I checked other tools too, that do the same a year ago, but I decided to continue with v7 after v2 and v5) I just wanted to make the startingpage a bit better and easier to maintain by other staffmembers. But I can live with it by maintaining the frontpage myself, as it is not being changed that much. Thanks for the advice.

what I want is a frontpage, with public access without login and some text, images, lets say info. And the content/body should be extracted out of a page that was created in the admin, under pages. Only 1 one page, so the info is easy to edit in a html environment, instead of editing the php page with html elelements. Not specific for me, but other admins, are not good at html. I know HTML/CSS.

Ow. Confused. I know html, but an iframe will show evertything including the header and footer, which is not what I want. I tried this SQL command, which is showing the body in mysql, but it simply prints the command in my html. I tried to understand Laravel and Curl, but it is not giving me what I want. So I tried some php and sql, but that did not work either. $sql = "SELECT body FROM `pages`\n" . "where id=\"1\";"; But thanks for trying to point out/help. RobB

I have created a copy of the default layout, and I ask myself if it is possible to add news and read out a specific page(s) so that I can edit them via the admin module instead of constantly changing the home.blade.php? I managed to put the latest news items there via {{ Widget::latestNews(['count' => 3]) }} But I wonder how to read out a page. Thanks ahead. RobB

I did post in the other thread, that it has been resolved. It appeares that the hosting company wrote a different portnr for the SMTP than I should use. But thanks for helping.

Forgive me my stupidity, but I am not a developer. I am an technical manager like sharepoint manager. So I know a tiny bit, and can read things. And make some scripts. But you are a champ. I did a couple of things. Make a copy of all the files. Create a PHPVMS foler on the toplevel and copy all files into there. Deleted all from public_html Copy the files from public into the root of public_html and got an server 500 error. But I learned from another tip you gave me, and deleted all under bootstrap/cache. And it worked. Then looked into the sending mail issue. It is nice that the host is putting a different portnumber on there helpdesksite and it does not work. 😉 So after fiddeling out that, I could send emails. Thank you for your great support. RobB

Ouch. LOL. Can I do an upgrade/reinstall to my installation in order to fix this? Or should I do a reinstallation? Including deletion of the complete database. RobB

I have an issue with sending mail from my freshly installed site (version 7). And I looked where to change the SMTP settings in what file. In a friends installation I did some time ago, I found that I had edited the env.php file. So I searched in the new site for that same file, but I cannot find it. However I also did find a config.php in the bootstrap directory. I did add the SMTP stuff in there, but that seems not to work. Wrong spot? I am using a mailadres from my hosting company. Help is appreciated. RobB

Thanks for explaining. That is what I expected, somewhat, but I got lost in to which folder to use. Is my assumption correct that the installationmethod was different a few years ago? Or did my mind mess with me? The installation I did for my va, I did put everthing in the public_html folder. And it feels a bit more logical. Is it possible to change the setup of my friends VA where the bulk of files in the PHPVMS folder, into put all into public_html? RobB

For a friend I did install PHPVMS 7.0.0-dev+221130.ced201. Where the files are not in the public_html folder but on a PHPVMS folder on the same hight has public_html. See the attachment. Back then when I did do the installation, it seemed to us, that all should be put in a separate directory. I read the update documents, and it went well for another va, So I know a tiny bit. But I would like to have some advice on where to put the files now? Thanks ahead, RobB

Thanks champs. Update successfull. 7.0.0-dev+240407.8554a3 I also saw the METAR working now. This can be called closed. Though will update another VA site of a friend of mine, but there is something specific, and I will ask some help to update that one in another post. Thanks.

I have decided to upgrade. I do find the latest version on Discord from april 7. However I do not find the same on the forum, perhaps I look in the wrong spot (Announcements). Can I find a description for the update? Thanks ahead. RobB PS, I found an article in the docs and specific for updating. I will let you know if I succeed,

I have deleted the cache file, and it works now. Thank you both for your advice. The questions remains, can I/should I upgrade to the newest version? RobB

Thanks for the answer. I cannot reach the admin part either so I will delete what you suggest. can I upgrade to the latest version? or is it better to start over as I do not have much added to the site? robB

Thanks for your reply. Well I downloaded the version from the website. I was not aware of versions on discord. Should have downloaded from discord? i can reinstall as there is no man overboard and i did not add to many things. which cache do you mean? Browser cach? No but I testes on different browsers and devices. Rob
