Need more installation instructions about elefant HOT 4 OPEN

Hey, I got the PHP 8 support merged into the master branch along with a bunch more fixes. Are you able to try installing from a Github clone and see if that works? I'll be putting out a new release but I'd like a bit more time to get things in order around it and do a bit more general testing.

Hi, I’m away until this weekend so I won't be able to take a look and get back to you until then but I will let you know.

One thing that could be causing issues is the current release doesn't have a bunch of PHP 8 fixes merged in yet, which I mostly haven't done due to not having as much time on the project as I had hoped this past year. If your XAMPP install requires PHP 8, you could try installing from the php8-fixes branch which is almost complete except for a couple bugs in specific apps. The core should all be working in there. Hope that helps in the meantime and I'll take a closer look once I’m back.

Yeah, its php 8. Would be very good to have it (XAMPP case) reflected in the documentation too, thank you :)

Thanx @lux sure i'll try it out again in a coupla days. Much interested. I'd been searching for an optimal tool (CMS/CMF) for a while putting a dozen of criterias in, for my planned website's a bit non-trivial. Then i figured probably the best solution for me is elefant. As i failed to install/set it up on my localhost, i jumped onto another thing called processwire, but the latter one (although flexible/powerful) takes a little longer learning & fugirung whereas elefant - at least as described - has an advantage of ease (plus light on resources).
Thank you again, much hope the nice elefant is future focused and will gain more traction & support :)
