SPPB 3.8.x or 4.x?

Asked by Patrick Ladner 4 years ago Last activity 4 years ago

I have installed the quick install package Maestro on my staging server. This works with the SPPB 4.x. However, they recommend not doing this for a site that then goes online.

But if I now install the SPPB 3.8.x and uninstall the SPPB 4.x, I can't edit the pages that are in the Quick installation package, can I?

The site will go online in the spring. Do you think that a finished SPPB 4.x will be available by then?

Hi Patrick,

if by default you had there SPPB 4.0.x it may not be possiblity to use previus version becuase of some code changes. In next days SPPB 4.0.x should get another update that fix few issues, so my recommendaion is keep SPPB 4.0.x as you have. Otherwise you may have to build subpages manually with demo layouts.

All right Paul.

I trust Joomshaper and will look into SPPB 4.x and work with it.

Thanks a lot

I will switch back to Pagebuilder 3.8.x as Pagebuilder 4.0.6 does not seem to work properly yet. e.g. I wanted to import a block (slider) on a fresh, empty page. Unfortunately, this does not work and only two Lorem Ipsum text blocks appear.

Another problem. I have a row with an image in it. In the frontened editor I see the image, but the page itself is empty.

Will it be possible to transfer the pages created with PB 3.8.x to the 4 version later?

I think it is still a bit too early to deliver Quick installation packages with PB 4.x, which is not quite ready yet. Don't you think so?

Many thanks

I agree Patrick, if SPPB 3 is going to be around for a few years we need QS packages with SPPB 3 as well as 4 for us 'luddites' that hate the new version.

"Hate" is too strong word, I suppose it's all about certain habits, but I also agree that not everything is working perfectly.


@Patrick, if you have SPPB 4.0.5 please update to SPPB 4.0.6 should be better in few areas.

Patrick Ladner Asked this

Yes, exactly. I don't hate the new technology. On the contrary ;-)

4.0.6 hasn't solved my problems yet, so I'm considering replacing the 4s with the 3s and then using the prefabricated blocks to rebuild the pages from scratch.

Can I also install both Pagebuilders 3 and 4? Or is that rather not recommended?
