A few days ago, I downloaded the latest Symphony 2 files from the Github repository, and installed Symphony on my local machine. After installing, I noticed that on all of the admin pages, the “Publish” menu was missing. The menu is still there, but there’s no word “Publish”.

When I look at the source code of one of those pages, it looks like the word Publish is not being outputted…

Could anyone point me in the right direction on how to get the Publish menu title back?

You should read the instructions on the github page (http://github.com/symphony/symphony-2/tree/master) specifically the section about updating your sym_sections table. That fixed the problem for me the first time I skipped the instructions ;)

It would be nice to have one download available which works out of the box, without downloading the extra extensions and without reading the instructions.

carsten: Use version 2.0.2.

Ah, it’s the download v2.0.2 link from the getsymphony.com frontpage. Awesome.

Thanks for the input y’all. Sorry that I missed the Readme. I appreciate the help. I’m using the 2.02 download link from the getsymphony.com frontpage now. All is working fine.

FYI: You can also checkout the tagged releases if you want to use Github but don’t want to use a (potentially) unstable version.

Here’s how to checkout a release:

git clone git://github.com/symphony/symphony-2.git
cd symphony-2
git checkout -b release 2.0.2
git pull origin master

Complicated? Maybe…

Sorry but I’m getting the same issue as bzerangue after updating 2.02 to 2.03 from the symphony home page, and yes I have run the SQL updates, and yes my sym_sections table looks right. Any ideas?

What is the value of the “Navigation Group” input under your sections? Blueprints > Sections

If it’s blank, try putting “Publish” in it. If it throws an error, the SQL statement you ran wouldn’t of been applied successfully.

@Allen, just ignore everything I say. Had a Blond moment and was using the wrong DB config. Duh!
