Hi, I can make changes but when I click save it takes a while for the save to happen. When I check our site the changes haven't happened. When I go back to Locomotive it looks the same as it did before I mad the changes. So it seems it didn't save and update but I dont know why, any ideas gratefully received? PS I can make changes in other pages and it works OK!

Dear All, I'm developing a new site in Locomotive 3.3 with authentication. I am interested in loading some default accounts, so I put them in data YML file, as described in the guide. As a result, the sign in doesn't work properly (Wrong credentials); but, if I update the same password in the back-end in the that model entry, it works perfectly. What could be the problem? Thank you in advance.

Hi there, Our company have a number of sites hosted with you guys and one of our clients would like to access their site and make changes without us. Please could you advise on how we can create a new user for them to access their site but none of the other sites we have set up on our user profiles with you? Thank you.

Hi, I believe facebook are making some changes as of 18th Dec. The notification ive had said ive got to register my domain with them. To do this ive had to set up a business manager page and have now got the information that needs to be entered on our website to verify our domain. I dont know where to enter this information so thats one of my questions, where do I go? I can upload a HTML file to the root directory of http://fitin30gym.co.uk or add a TXT record in your DNS configuration, so which one should I use? Thank you

Hello, we have defined a content type "artists" with a field type many_to_many "artworks". This field type has the option ui_enabled set to true, so we can order the "artworks" manually in the back-end. We output the "artworks" in a template file like this: {% for artwork in artist.artworks %} ... {% endfor %} But the order outputted is different from the back-end. I would like to know: Is there a option for this field type or for the template file, which respects the order set in the back-end? Regards, Andreas

When I set default images for the `editable_file` tag as suggested [here](https://locomotive-v3.readme.io/docs/tags#section-editable_file), there doesn't seem to be a nice way to read out the editable_file url: for the default image, I need the `theme_image_url` filter, if I set the editable file in the backend My current solution is to check wheter the url contains certain strings and decide wheter to apply the filter or not: ``` {% if person_sidebar_img contains 'pages' or person_sidebar_img contains 'content_entry' %} <img class="img-responsive" src='{{ person_sidebar_img }}'> {% else %} <img class="img-responsive" src="{{ 'default/teacher.png' | theme_image_url }}"> {% endif %} ``` This is of course not necessarily update-safe and seems redundant. Any ideas on how to handle default and uploaded images at the same time? (Of course, on wagon this problem doesn't exist, since the default url works without the theme_img_url filter.)

Three days of an unanswered question about images not being available from Assets. I've had to move my assets to S3, which I was trying to avoid. Asset servers that disappear when their certificates expire. And guess what? Clicking your "status" link reveals that the certificate for that server has expired to, but nothing is done. You're a hosting company? Tried following your instructions to move my site to Heroku. Although the site runs locally and on your servers (at least for me), following your instructions on deploying to heroku resulted in a crashed app on launch, and no information that could be used in the logs. Your suggestions in the docs is to mod my config pages for the app, but there are none. Repeated inquiries why only I can see my site pages, and others can only see the home page -- unanswered. Eighty percent of questions here unanswered, and unacknowledged, months after they were asked.

I can't get the image that is assigned to the background of pane in my site to appear. The image is in the image assets on station.locomotive.works temporary hosting. The image url is passed in via a variable assignment this way: {% block 'hero1' %} {% assign hero_url1 = 'incubator.jpeg' %} {% assign hero_headline1 = "Our Programs" %} {% assign hero_alt_head = ""%} {% assign hero_alt_kicker = "" %} {% include 'hero_block' %} {% endblock %} the first assignment is the one in question. In the block, it looks like this: <div class="parallax-quote parallaxBg" style="background: url('{{ hero_url1 | theme_image_url }}') 10% 0 repeat fixed; background-size: 100%;"> … </div> And when rendered, it appears this way: <div class="parallax-quote parallaxBg" style="background: url('https://assets.locomotive.works/sites/5981d7e6a2f4222fdc5e3c88/theme/images/incubator.jpeg?1501697919') 10% 0 repeat fixed; background-size: 100%;"> … </div> So all seems good. But the image does not appear, and I have not got an easy way to determine if the asset is being served, since pasting the url directly into the browser location yields a complaint that it isn't a cached asset request... What is going on here?

Hi, Based on the contact form guide I've made a form that adds some details, and tries to add associated data (through checkboxes). The form works fine until I check and boxes, then I get an "undefined method `association_ids=' for #<Locomotive::API::Forms::ContentEntryForm>" Is this possible through public submission? Thanks Lawrence

Hello, How do I get the current/active model in the `root.liquid` layout? Right now when I add custom text (SEO title, meta keywords and meta description) it is inheriting from `pages`, and I want it to be customised for the current model. I can call the different models using `{{ models.references.first.meta_keywords }}` so I know the information is available, but need to call only the active/current model
