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

I had installed the latest version of PHPVMS 7.0 And I had it working. In order to start with a different page, I had copied the Theme default to a new name and uploaded that. I hade not changed the theme.json. I go into the admin part and select the new theme name. And on that moment I get a Server error 500 I did find this part in the logs: [2024-04-17 00:02:21] production.ERROR: Theme default already exists {"exception":"[object] (Igaster\\LaravelTheme\\Exceptions\\themeAlreadyExists(code: 1): Theme default already exists at /home/name/domains/domainname.com/public_html/vendor/igaster/laravel-theme/src/Themes.php:136) And I concluded that I have to edit the theme.json in the new theme folder. I did that and uploaded it. Yet does the error stay. I did look into the database in the settingspart and in the field General_theme it still says default. The question is how do I fix this? Or do I completely start over? Greetings, RobB PS I just checked it, but I had uploaded a ver.php file in order to check php versions etc into the root of the site, but even that one gives that error.

I think I have something working now. aaRBee

Well, This time I thought to check the manual first. Thanks, I have a recaptcha from Google, but got only one key, not too. Or is hcaptcha something else now? Thanks, aaRBee

Hello, Since I have the mail going, I am seeing 4-6 people try to signup at the va. Probably some zombies or so. I know from 5.2, that there was something called capcha. Is that available too for PHPvms 7? CQ where can I find a description on how to install it. aaRBee

I have to dig into Cron. Perhaps next week or so. Thanks for the heads-up

SOLVED. It appears that I should have used a different port and TLS. A Pitty they had not described that in the hosts knowledge base. Thanks everybody. aaRBee

By now the mailbox has been configured correctly. I guess that something was not correct configured at the host site. I can sent en receive e-mail Yet sending from PHPVMS is no success. I did find this in the laravel logging: VLM002=info@mailadres.com, error=Connection could not be established with host "ssl://smtp.bhosted.nl:465": stream_socket_client(): Unable to connect to ssl://smtp.bhosted.nl:465 (Connection refused) This is what the documentation at bhosted tells us: Server: smtp.bhosted.nl Poort: 465 Protocol: SSL Username: e-mail adres Password: password of the e-mail adres This is what I have configered at the env.php: MAIL_MAILER=smtp MAIL_FROM_NAME='Sendersname' MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS='info@mailadres.com' MAIL_HOST=smtp.hostingcompany.nl MAIL_PORT=465 MAIL_ENCRYPTION=SSL MAIL_USERNAME=info@mailadres.com MAIL_PASSWORD=password of the mailaddress Perhaps you have some advice for me? aaRBee

I guess searching in the wrong spot. Sleep tight.

So there are 3 locations where you can download the zip files. On the site itself and then section Download, under documents and then secion download, or via Discord. The one direct from the server did not work. Perhaps due to the fact that it's build for PHP 7.4? And the one on Discord and via the documents is build for PHP 8.x? Event though I work in IT, I am not a developer. Yet I can find my way a bit around it But it is not easy. Please have some clemency with me. 😉 Explenation is really appreciated. aaRBee

I did signup for Discord and I could download the file. And it works. Thanks for all your help so far. I guess I will get something to hear on monday from the host and will try get the mail workin. I will talk back.
