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.

After installation Sym8, the following pages are available:

  • Home – page type index
  • 404 – page type 404 (for pages not found)
  • 403 – page type 403 (for directories without index page)
