We have been working hard on some visual changes to Gibbon for the upcoming release, v28.0.00 on November 20, 2024. These changes build on much of the refactoring we have done in recent versions, with a much-awaited refresh to visual elements such as icons, forms, and tables. More details can be found on GitHub, and some preview screenshots can be seen below:
Given the scale of these changes, and that Gibbon has a lot of surface area to cover, we would welcome the community’s help in testing and offering feedback. If you would like to test the upcoming version, I have created a pre-release of v28 which you can download the InstallBundle for and test. If you are already a developer using GitHub, you can also fetch and pull the latest changes from the v28.0.00 branch.
Feel free to post any feedback or bugs you find on this thread, to help keep them in one place.
Please note that this is not a full release, and should not be uploaded to production servers. This pre-release is aimed for testing and feedback only. If you would like to update your production server, please wait for the full release on November 20th.
Hello everybody, I just installed v28.0.00 in a production site and I want to report a bug. In the System+Admin module in thrird party settings page, in the spanish version as shows the picture… it can not setup the smtp service…Thanks for the help, regards, Jorge
@sandra after installing the update i am unable to add a user. I get an error message and have checked admin permissions for user admin. I am unsure if its user error or update error.
Hi @redkom Thanks for letting us know, it’s quite odd to see that this is only affecting the Spanish language package and not other languages. The Gibbons Escaped message is just the front-end error message. Can you please help check your PHP error log on the server to see what the full error message text is, and share it here, as it will give more information about the cause of the error you’re seeing.
Hello @sandra thanks for your reply. We have 12 hours in time shift …I am in Chile. I just tryied the same access and got the following message in the file /var/log/apache2/error.log :

Hi @redkom, I’ve found and fixed the issue, which was not in the Gibbon code but rather in the Spanish translation files themselves. I’ve generated new files, are you able to download them and test them on your system to confirm that the issue is resolved? i18n/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES at main · GibbonEdu/i18n · GitHub
Be sure to replace both the gibbon.po and gibbon.mo files in the /i18n/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES directory of your Gibbon install.
Hi Sandra, I am happy to confirm you that the issue was resolved !!! Thanks a lot for the help.
There is another thing perhaps you can help me,… I don’t know where to review staff applications once they are submitted by applicants… I have enabled the public applications page and I am receiving the notification for every person that sent the application but when I click on the "Action and Archive " button it says error : You do not have access to this action. Do you know what it can be ? Thanks again for your very valuable help…Regards. Jorge
Hi @sandra . The system is very good, I plan to start using it for almost every daily task in our school…so I want to ask you something very special, could you please add the chilean peso CLP ($) currency to the system? At present I am using CAD($) because is the most similar … but parents already are asking for the CLP , I am spreading the word…about Gibbon and soon may be some more schools from Chile in the community… Thanks in advance, a lot. Jorge
Hi @redkom Thanks for your kind words, great to hear you’re getting up and running with Gibbon. I’ve just added Chilean Peso to the currency list in the following change to v29, you can apply to same change to your system by updating the FormFactory.php file as shown in the code commit.
Hi everyone, a quick note to say that I’ve just released v28.0.01, which includes some fixes and visual tweaks that have been made since the v28 release. Given the scale of the changes made, some fixes have been made post-release, and I didn’t want schools to have to wait until v29 to access these.
This is an optional update, see the changelog for a list of the tweaks and fixes.
