Welcome to the Locomotive V3 developer hub. You'll find comprehensive guides and documentation to help you start working with Locomotive V3 as quickly as possible, as well as support if you get stuck. Let's jump right in!
Hello! I really like locomotive and try to push this cms in our company. But my CTO ask who actually uses locomotive. The only one place I found your site - this is several static images with company logos. But i need if possible links to sites developed with CMS, and I could't find them (( Ask for help ))

We just launched a site using Locomotive Hosting, and we are receiving a ssl mismatch. The server is serving a ssl cert of "locomotive.works" which obviously is not our domain. I looked all over the documentation and found nothing on ssl certs, or anything in the back office where I could configure or upload a valid SSL cert. How do we get our cert onto the locomotive hosting server?

What's the best way to create a page nav in a layout to show only the child pages of which ever page the layout is applied to? Have tried the following and it doesn't work. {% nav page.slug %} {% nav 'page.slug' %} {% assign nav_name = page.slug %} {% nav nav_name %} When trying the actual page slug as a string, it works as desired.

I'm looking to use gzip compression on my files, but I can't find any information on if it's supported with wagon/locomotive. I found this by googling the question, but i don't see any conclusion on whether it's been included or how to use it. https://github.com/locomotivecms/engine/issues/886

Hi there, We upgraded wagon to the latest version and moved our hosting to station.locomotive.works. I'm seeing a greatly reduced feature set on the admin interface, has the ability to edit liquid templates and create models been removed? We used this functionality quite extensively (even though we also use wagon for development). Just wondering what the suggested workflow modifications are for a reduced feature set in the new admin interface. Another thing I can't find is how / where to search through a set of resources. In the old version I could search through our models, I can't see how to do this in the new version. Cheers, Damien

Hello, I had a site wiped out, but I still have the data as a mongodump, I have been trying to create an updated site with v3 but have been having a hard time getting the data to reintegrate correctly. I am able to get the site running on 2.54 again in development with the correct data in the rails app (image linking back to s3 might be another challenge), but I am having trouble moving the data to the new version. it seems to be there, but just returns a page not found error for pages and content in the backend. 1. Is this even possible? (i would like to use the new features) 2. how complicated would this process become due to data changes between the versions. Sorry if I missed info about this anywhere. Thank you, Robert

On the site I have built with Locomotive sometimes the users upload images to go with a story. They may use the same image in multiple places but if they then remove/delete it from one location they are unable to access the page. It seems that the other links to that image are now broken. Is there a way to fix this other than telling the users not to delete an image of they've used it in more than one location?

Hi, what is the best way to filter with_scope and multiple params like category, color, size etc. and the case that maybe only one or two params are selected. Example: {% with_scope category: category, colors.in: [color], size.in: [size] %}... When a user clicks on a category, no product appears. If i delete the colors.in and size.in it works. My current workaround is: {% assign category = params["category"] | default: '/^/' %} {% assign size = params["size"] | default: null %} {% assign color = params["color"] | default: null %} and a lot of if.. else if.. else.. but i think there must be a cleaner approach Thanks

I'm running through the installation guide at https://locomotive-v3.readme.io/docs/getting-started-with-locomotive to get Engine up and running on my local machine and getting the following error: ``` $ bundle exec rails generate locomotive:install Could not find generator 'locomotive:install'. Maybe you meant 'coffee:assets', 'model' or 'integration_test' Run `rails generate --help` for more options. ``` Anyone run into this and have a solution. Runnings lastest version of OS X and followed the install guide of wagon at https://locomotive-v3.readme.io/docs to get Ruby and Rails up and running.

I've look through all the docs and cannot find this mentioned anywhere. I've locally edited a file in the data folder of my locally deployed wagon. The file is photos.yml and I added a bunch of entries for photos that should appear on the site. When I serve the site locally all the entries that I've added show up without issue, but when I deploy to my server (also local) none of the images are showing up on the page or in the models section for photos which I would assume them to be in. Any idea of how to deploy a .yml file so I don't have to manually add all the photos to locomotive?

Hey! So I'm doing first steps, the basic stuff. And I'm stuck on this step – https://locomotive-v3.readme.io/docs/use-them-in-templates. Path_to link to a single entry generates empty space and thus the link just reloads the page we're on. I checked docs and my code like 10 times, I don't get what I'm doing wrong and where's the problem. Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Hi, We currently have our website running on Heroku using the new wagon and professional dyno (www.careerseekers.org.au) . After a day or two, the Theme Assets on the wagon dissappear, and shows our public website without any style or theme, like its just the plane HTML being rendered. Is this a bug on the wagon? or would this be an issue on Heroku?

Has anyone successfully managed to include font-awesome in a wagon project (outside of using the built-in bootstrap theme that includes font-awesome)? I've tried using the official Font Awesome gem (https://github.com/FortAwesome/font-awesome-sass) with no success. Including just `font-awesome` in my application scss looks for the fonts at the path `/fonts/font-awesome/`, which gives a 404. Including `font-awesome-sprockets` as well gives the error `Custom asset_path helper is not implemented`.

In my locomotive site, if I create a user under "general settings", there's no password field to set the user's password. If I edit an existing user, no password field there either. If I edit my own account, there is a password field and it works.

I have a field type which is currently a "select", which works fine. I'd like to display it as a series of radio buttons instead. Is that possible? I'm looking at the field types list and don't see anything about radio buttons. https://locomotive-v3.readme.io/docs/define-a-content-type

Hello, I was experimenting with the demo using the blog template as a solution for a (non-technical) client wanting to post their own blogs. I noticed that when I upload a large image to a blog post it overlaps the edges of the post/page. This is especially apparent when resizing the window for mobile (so setting a width within the image tags doesn't solve the issue). The images don't take into account the size of the page or container they're in at all. Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong? Also, is there a simple way to add image gallery functionality or resizing images within the WYSIWYG editor a-la-Wordpress? Many thanks

I've a problem with what a think to be a very common task. I want to filter content entries by the value selected by the user; and if the user doesn't select any value, I want to show all content entries. So, let's say I have a Product model, with a "name" and "category" fields. Name is a string field, and category is a select field. Given the above, the following code DO what I expected: {% assign requested_product_name = '/' | concat: params['requested_product_name'], '/' %} {% with_scope name: requested_product_name %} {% for product in contents.products %} /* PREVIEW PRODUCT */ {% endfor %} {% endwith_scope %} i.e. it show all products if requested_product_name parameter contain the .* regex. But if I use the category field, the regex dosn't work anymore! For example, if category field has two select_options, let's say "books" and "sunglasses", then the following code: {% assign requested_product_category = '/' | concat: params['requested_product_category'], '/' %} {% with_scope category: requested_product_category %} {% for product in contents.products %} /* PREVIEW PRODUCT */ {% endfor %} {% endwith_scope %} show only the entries belonging to the "books" category (the first select option specified). The question is: how to show all entries when the user doesn't pick a filter value in the UI? I can use some "if/then" logic, but with multiple filters, the code can become very lengthy and confusing.
