Well, we all know how annoying this error can be, and I thought I’d share some possible fixes. First, let’s clarify why this happens.

Any time a group of people sharing the same skill are working together on shared or public material, standards will undoubtedly emerge from the system. If they don’t, that system is likely to fail amidst the mitigating forces of disorganization, redundancy, and ultimately, apathy and neglect.

One of the great paradoxical mixed-blessings of working with SilverStripe is that it is a code-driven development environment. As coders, we love that. The CMS doesn’t get in our way with its silly opinionated turnkey solutions, or bloated interface that is as opaque as the ground we walk on. But for entry-level or even novice PHP developers, SilverStripe can put up a pretty big wall with these requirements, and it’s a difficult product to love and admire when you’re swatting away one cryptic error after another. With the help of this article, you can find solutions to a lot of common SilverStripe errors.
I’m very happy today to release a preview of a project I have been working on for several months under the working title “SilverSmith.” SilverSmith is a framework for building SilverStripe sites that provides code, template, and content generation tools using a YAML configuration file. I have been using this tool on several projects and it has saved me volumes of production time by cutting out all of the repetitive tasks involved in building a SilverStripe. I’m really excited to share it with the community and get some feedback.
I’m happy to announce the release of two awesome new modules: Uploadify and Postale.
One question that I find myself answering frequently for users of the EventCalendar module is how to customize the module to handle registrations. This guided tutorial will show you how to make a basic registration form with EventCalendar.
Help keep this blog going so I can continue to serve the SilverStripe community.
I'm always looking for translators for my modules. Can you help?
