No 'Slider' Tab in CMS

[mhenden]

I've used Flexslider for a number of years but suddenly I'm having problems getting a 'Slider' tab to load in the SilverStripe 4.1 CMS. I'm wondering what I'm missing? Can anybody help?

@mhenden Which version are you currently using? Also, how are you applying the slides?

[mhenden]

@korthjp17 , I'm using SilverStripe 4.1. Can't apply slides as I don't have the requisite tab in the left sidebar of CMS interface.

@mhenden can you run composer info and post the results, just want to make sure we match up all versions when testing.

Is this what you want?
Not sure why it's include Omnipay which I'm not using on this site?!

Just checking, did you run that from the webroot where your site is? Looks like it's referencing SS 3.1.6 and not seeing our flexslider package.

No worries @mhenden, I've tested the module on a fresh ss installation (4.1.0) and am seeing the slides tab. Do you have any DataExtension classes updating cms fields other than the Flexslider that may be causing an issue? For additional support you can find us online on the SS slack community channel: silverstripe-users.slack.com. Might be quicker troubleshooting there ;) I have the same handle there.

@mhenden just wanted to check in and see if you were able to make any additional progress on this.

Hi @muskie9 , got a bit snowed last week but back onto this now. Like you I did a straight install of SS4.1 'out of the box' -- I haven't added anything other than Flexslider. I have set up config file mysite.yml (contents below) but no Flexslider tab...

Hi @mhenden, sorry we never got back to this ticket. If this is still an issue feel free to comment. Closing for now in favor of newer releases.
