@JOSH.TAYLOR04: Hi, I am sorry for the problems - could you please contact our support department as well?
The MacroResolverCompatibility, CMSSessionEvents, CMSApplicationEvents, and CMSRequestEvents classes cannot be resolved in the Compatibility55.cs file.
@Vikash: Hello, could you please send this over to the support@kentico.com?
Our support engineers will be happy to help you.
Thank you for using Kentico.
I have upgrade version 7 to version 8.
But some method and event is not find.
@SPARKER-PMC: We are glad to hear you like the new version. Thank you for the feedback - you are right, all those issues are already known and fixed in the final release.
@MATT NIELD: It appears to be a bug in this preview build. It should be possible to add any properties in the release version.
We are really liking the new version. A lot of great work! Here are three issues that we found, you likely already know about them.
Following on form the comments about editing sytem tables between Paul and Tadeas backin late Feb; this does not seem to work (in MMP3) for the Users module. How do we go about adding properties to users that do not come out of the box?
@DAVEY_LAD: Actually, the release version of Kentico 8 will have a "web site" as a defatult project type.
This preview version has all the features included, but was not yet completely tested - and the "web application" as a default project is one of bugs that are going to be fixed in final release.
I will write more details about E-commerce improvements for Kentico 8 in the second half of March. Stay tuned!
I notice that the default project type in the installer is now "Web Application" as opposed to web site. From this can we assume that this is now the recommended type?
Obviously this is preferred froma development point of view but previous experience with the Web App type has been horrendous to be fair.. how does V8 compare to previous versions - do the same problems/caveats still exist?
Hi Paul. The System Tables are still with us. You can find them in Modules / (select a module) / Classes tab.
It's looking great : ) - One question though, I can't seem to find the System Tables option where you had the ability to alter the user table say to add fields or an alternative form. Has that feature gone in V8?
