I don't know if I should cry or laugh...

Our CMS is a CMS as a Service. So, our providers, for me they all suck, everytime they make a development, everything breaks.

Today's flash news?

Well, basically any page containing some user-made dynamic objects are **empty**

But not only on our site, on their whole network of clients that use their CMS. Everything is broken.

They release new features (I should call them bugs rather) every week, and yesterday's update concerned these pages.

And for the record, they don't test. They wait that we come back and complain to see if their shitty development worked or did not.

This CMS is even worse than your first project in HTML - I mean, your first word document on your mama's computer when you were 3.

Seriously. What kind of non-quality is this?

    How can they get users then? Is it free?

    @cursee not free at all, super pricey! They have "big clients" in the region which may help them making contracts with other companies

    So we're paying for a shitty cms that does a fifth of what the most basic cms does

    At some point CMS as a service becomes quite hard.
    And with any service goes that it might break your application of it eventually. The more custom and workaround based your solutions are the higher the chance of thighs breaking. That said it should still be very rare.
    If this happens a few times with no apparent good reason (like critical security fix) drop all the work and focus on migrating

    @Phlisg you should tell your manager or boss to consider new services 🤔

    Gosh I hate myself for saying this but it sounds even worse than WordPress

    @cursee I did! But it's not my call to change, unfortunately. It's "political" since we share this cms with other "destinations" of the region (working in the tourism area)

    @creadom It does!

    I don't even have access to PHP, just Twig :'D
