Welcome to the Locomotive V4 developer hub. You'll find comprehensive guides and documentation to help you start working with Locomotive V4 as quickly as possible, as well as support if you get stuck. Let's jump right in!
I'm quite new to using Locomotive and so far it is great. But now that I'm considering adding some basic logic to my app like I would do normally with a Rails controller, things start to get confusing. Am I supposed to directly modify the engine for that purpose ? If so I think it's really not ideal... For example, I want to add a contact form, I've seen there is a tutorial on this in the docs but it doesn't say anything about the POST side of it. I want to send an email when a message is sent through the contact form and I really have no idea how I should do this with Locomotive. Also I'd like to use Locomotive for a future project that will require a lot of custom logic and I'm afraid it won't fit. I hoped to use a Rails CMS so that I can develop easily with Rails and at the same time have a nice CMS. Is this realistic with Locomotive ?

I have known that specific resources such as pages can be pushed to remote, but what can I do if I just wanna push the pages only changed on local not all the pages? Does it exist a design or implementation consideration for wagon that only supports push the specific types of resource?

Hi there, I've spent a tremendous amount of time trying to solve this: Before I upgraded to v3 I've been adding images as editable_files with a default value as mentioned in http://doc.locomotivecms.com/references/api/tags/editable-file Now, after the upgrade, everything works fine on wagon, but not on the engine (e.g. locomotive.works). I've tried every possible combination of capture and editable_file I could think of and keep missing my default value (which is not something I want to give up!). Old version: > {% capture coin_topright_url %}{% editable_file "coin_topright_image", hint: "Upload a coin image for the top right coin." %}{% endeditable_file %}{% endcapture %} with > src=" {% if coin_topright_url != '' %}{{ coin_topright_url }}{% else %}{{ 'coins/student.png' | theme_image_url }}{% endif %}" Things I've tried (among many others): > src="{{ coin_topright_url | default: '/coins/student.png' | theme_image_url }}" > {% capture coin_topright_ur %}{{ coin_topright_ur | strip_html }}{% endcapture %} > > src="{{ page.editable_elements.main.landingpage_coins.coin_right_image }}" > src="{% if page.editable_elements.main.landingpage_coins.coin_right_image != '' %}{{ page.editable_elements.main.landingpage_coins.coin_right_image }}{% else %}{{ 'coins/investor.png' | theme_image_url }}{% endif %}"

Hi! I think I found another bug on engine-side. I have many "events" which are grouped by "country" field. - country: label: Country type: select required: true hint: Explanatory text displayed in the back office localized: false select_options: ['HUN', 'IND'] I have two locales: 'en' (default) and 'hu'. If I switch to 'hu', the scoped list items are empty: {% with_scope country: 'HUN' %} {% for event in contents.events %} ... {% endfor %} {% endwith_scope %} Everything works correctly (scoped events are displayed on both locales) in wagon project. If I remove the scope, it will work on engine-side too. (and all of the "events" will be listed) Regards, Zsolt (PS: If you would like to see the full example I will share my code.)

Hello! I have companies (~300) and categories (~100) in my project and they are in a N:M relationship. Everything works perfectly in Wagon project, but after I synced the data to Engine project the relationship won't work. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16954780/Locomotive/n_m_relation_seed.yml (All the other content entries are synced correctly as well as 1:1, 1:N relationships.) Many thanks for any answers! Zsolt

I'm trying to get the next/previous siblings of a content entry. I have 6 content entries and for each `content_entry.next` and `content_entry.previous` return the `first` and `last` entries (except on the first or last entry where `previous` or `next` returns nil respectively). Any advice?

I have an issue where I can deploy my site and it works perfectly in production, but on syncing the site locally I get the following error: `Malformed YAML in this file /.../Sites/Wagon/.../data/years.yml, error: undefined method 'to_sym' for 2014:Fixnum` The data/years.yml file looks like this: ``` - 2014: _slug: '2014' name: 2014 projects: - residency-works ```

I'm not sure if these questions are read but my love for the CMS part of LocomotiveCMS is being dulled by the obscurity and obtuseness of the Wagon deploy process. Current issue is that unless a file is physically edited it appears to be assumed to be the same. If I drop a new file that has the same name as a previous one it is ignored(skipped). Obviously if it is an image file or similar this becomes problematic. I am trying to force all assets to be redeployed to overwrite the existing ones to get everything in sync. No matter what I have tried ( even deleting all the deployed assets ) every time I run deploy to local engine it skips all the ThemeAssets but appears to push everything else. I suspect some caching issue or failure to reload the current assets or similar may be to blame. Anyway: I worked my way to the file push_theme_assets_command.rb and this appears to be where it is checked. and commenting out this line 26 gets me a bit further. raise SkipPersistingException.new if same?(decorated_entity, _entity) To get round this I commented it out and that gets me a bit further. Perhaps a -f flag on the deploy command could be used to force all assets to be replaced?
