Install
Install Sym8 – the modernized Symphony CMS for PHP 8. This step-by-step guide explains system requirements, installation, and essential post-installation tips for a secure setup.
Extensions
Extensions are add-ons that can provide additional functions. The most common uses for extensions include providing additional field types, improving the admin interface, and providing completely new functions.
Pages
Pages form the front-end interface of a Symphony project. They deliver content from data sources through templates, define URL schemas, and accept user input for system events. In this way, pages provide the dynamic environment where users interact with a Symphony project and its components.
Sections
Sections are a Symphony project’s most fundamental building blocks, because they define the types of content that it will manage. Each section provides a model for the content entries it will contain, determining their structure by defining the fields that will comprise them.
Data Sources
Data sources are the pipelines that deliver content to your Symphony project’s front-end interface. This can be internal content (e.g. data pulled directly from your sections) or external content (e.g. data from an RSS feed or an XML API). Data sources are attached to pages, and the XML they provide can be transformed by page templates.
Events
Events attached to pages trigger actions when certain conditions are met. With Symphony’s event editor, you can create front-end saving events. These events allow data from a submitted form (e.g., a commenting system) to be stored in a section.
Email Templates
Using this extension it is possible to let Symphony send pretty emails using XSLT.
