Pages Pre-release 3

[Anya Hawkins]

For Pages beta, is there anyway to display pages outside of the forums of the website?

i.e. Community Suite installed in website.com/forums but I need the page, say 'page1' to be in website.com/page1 or website.com/page1.html

and an index page to display in website.com/

I could do so in previous IP.Content but cannot find in the beta.

As for having the pages app outside of the root forum directory no not at this time.   This is still in pre release form once a beta is released I am sure we will have a way to use it outside the root forum directory

​​Pre-release (alpha) -> Beta -> Release

So what is the difference between a pre-release and a beta?  And how come this isn't part of the Beta pack for the other applications?

Just curious as to the reasoning behind it.

An Alpha release is more unstable and is not feature complete compared to a Beta release, where the focus is solely on fixing the remaining bugs.

​I got it! Soon the summer!

The way betas are going would not be surprised to see release candidate by the first of the year

​ Although on the download page for the Pages pre-release the language changes between alpha/pre-release and beta it is the former.

When Pages is folded into the primary beta package is the point from which IPS will support it officially - at least for upgrading. The thread posted here just yesterday asking for volunteers to test out the Pages upgrading system seems to indicate we are getting there.

Now if we could just get a Commerce alpha and maybe a peek at the new Chat before the New Year...

I think I'm going to stop doing any installs on my test site until commerce, chat, and pages enter beta... or at least enter a phase where I can upgrade from one release to the next without needing a rebuild.  Pages is by far the most important app for me.

When you say relational fields are being included soon is this for the 4.0 release or 4.1 or later?

​

​I'd love to know this as well.

The official status for this is “future” – whatever that means.
