Not sure :thinking: what’s happening….

Good thing?

Used to load 5600 items when marked all resources changed

Now in beta 2 loading 2200 items!!!

Don’t seem to notice anything different…

@dan optimized further or what is happening?

(Just curious- if you’d like to share)

Yup, this is a good thing :wink:

We reworked how the packs are grouped and processed during rebuilds. The Core, CMS, and Forms packs are now handled independently, which means Elements can be far more selective about what actually needs to be reloaded when resources change.

This is why you’re seeing a significant drop in the number of items being loaded, even though the visible output and behaviour remain the same :tada:

@dan best practice? Go in delete on server - then reload new 2.0 version?

Thanx for the explanation….

Seems like a cleaning I should do :slight_smile:

Thanx

@dan Does Elements 2.0 Beta only work on PHP 8.4.0?

You can simply double-click to edit text in the Typography and Button components :slight_smile:

I’d need some more details for this one. You definitely can add Modals inside dropzones. Have you added a component to the Modal’s “trigger” dropzone?

If you can share the project with us, I’d be able to help further :slight_smile:

Hi @dan

Elements 2.0 is a great leap forward again and very much appreciated. Thanks!

Just for completeness, I found a minor optical bug in the store window in the Installed section. The now separated CMS and Forms components are listed there as trial with their canonical names (see screen shot). I did try logout and login to Elements Cloud but this doesn’t solve it.

BUMP

Everything will work locally on your Mac (as we run our own web server), but you’ll need to ensure your server has PHP 8.4 or newer if you are using Forms and/or the CMS.

Hope that helps.

@dan @ben I don’t think this is entirely correct. I have a website with forms and CMS built in Elements 1.6.3, and I’m using PHP 8.2.0. Everything worked fine.

After upgrading to Elements 2.0 and uploading all the files, I only get a message saying that PHP 8.4.0 is required. My ISP only provides PHP 8.3.0, so I had to re-upload everything from Elements 1.6.3. After that, my website started working again.

Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version “>= 8.4.0”.

Is it possible to highlight also the current/active page we are on sub menu pages?

Help,
Unable to install the beta code. I get a message saying that Elements can’t ne updated because it’s running from the place it was downloaded to. It’s actually not in the download directory it’s I’m applications where it’s supposed to be.
Any ideas on how I can update ?
TIA,
Peter

Make sure the copy you are running is in your /Applications folder.

It’s in my applications folder as I mentioned, still not able to update.
Any workarounds?

Cheers,
Peter

Try restarting your computer and then try to update

Not the issue. Your original Elements app was called RapidWeaver Elements.app, the new app is called Elements.app. Simple just to rename and now it’s updated.

Cheers,
