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.

🧩 The same applies to the Extensions backend page.
#Sym8 takes this idea further:

📂 The Extensions page now lists all extensions – including extended details and a direct link to each README.

🔍 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.

Is your #PHP version still safe?

🔴 PHP 8.0 – ❌ End of life (no updates)
🟡 PHP 8.1 / 8.2 – ⚠️ Security fixes only
🟢 PHP 8.3 / 8.4 – ✅ Active support

Sym8 makes this visible right in your dashboard — no guesswork, no digging in docs.

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.
