Sym8 is finally live! 🚀
Built on the legacy of Symphony CMS — fully updated for PHP 8, with modern extensions, native HTML5 fields, and improved accessibility out of the box.

#Sym8 #SymphonyCMS #PHP84 #OpenSource

Sym8 brings native HTML5 input types into the CMS core.
From color pickers to month & week selectors (🎨 📅 📆) — and even native browser validation for required, email, phone, and number fields.

Out of the box: better usability + accessibility.

🔍 Did you know? For years, #Symphony had a menu item for the internal Activity Log – but it was hidden.
In navigation.xml:


In #Sym8, this “hidden feature” is no longer a secret:
✅ The log is now directly accessible in the backend via the System menu.

Every fresh #Sym8 installation comes with the Dashboard extension — it’s not optional.

🖥️ The dashboard provides a system overview (Sym8 + PHP versions, sections, data sources, entries, …) and a live changelog feed directly from sym8.io.

Why Sym8 starts at version 2.84.0?

There is a clear logic behind the scheme:
• 2️⃣ → reflects the underlying Symphony codebase
• 8️⃣4️⃣ → maximum supported PHP version (8.4)
• 0️⃣ → patch level

Sym8 is a fast and modular CMS – based on Symphony CMS, modernized and PHP 8 ready.
🚀 Launching September 15, 2025
