I'm unfortunately not trained in legal matters well enough to know what the distinction is or if it even matters. The GNU license doesn't like copyrights removed, but don't know how specific it is. So I can't give a solid answer one way or another here. I'll make a note to ask this the next time I come across someone that knows about this stuff though. However, outside of this, there are a couple reasons you may not want to remove it: 1) unless you make your own admin theme, you'll have to do the same thing every time you upgrade (which would be a pain); 2) With GNU software, it's required that the client gets the same GNU license, and they should understand it and that it's copyrighted software. You don't want them to think they are paying you for the software itself rather than your services.

Thanks for the good description on the issue there. I finally understand it and have fixed it (I think). But I'm making some other updates to the Date Inputfield so going to be committing them all together.

Hi Mike, Welcome to the forums. What are you trying to include and in what script are you trying to include it? Can you give a code example? /Jasper

I have never removed or slightly suggested that the stuff I use is made by me or the company I work for. Andy Rutledge also has a very interesting point of view regarding white labeling (and branding) and why it isn't really fit for the web.

Excellent, thank you. Honestly I know very little about licenses, laws and how it all works; but it is nice to have some answers ready and as I said, just want to know the general rules and boundaries. Having #1 as an option will help deter the request for additional (and billable) work needed in order to make the theme. This puts us in position to say that it can be done if needed but at much higher cost than just butchering the footer. Some corporate users are big on ego and branding. Thank you again, I am really liking PW so far and...can’t believe it is free.

Just wanted to follow-up to say that there isn't anything built-in that can tell you what the most visited pages are. You could certainly add a hit counter field to a page and increment it, and save on every page view, but I think that would be kind of inefficient. It would also prevent you from using any cache features if you are having to save a page on every view. I think the best bet is to do what these guys suggested, or subscribe to a hit counter service that bundles this info into an RSS feed or JS widget.

Although I haven't done it myself, I understand that Piwik has an API you could use for page view counts and more.

Hi all, I just launched a new portfolio site for talented Melbourne-based illustrator Mitch Vane: http://mitchvane.com/ Mitch isn't a seasoned CMS user and she had some very positive things to say about ProcessWire after having used it for only a few days. Regards Marty

Sorry, completely missed your other question, about most popular pages. I don't recall PW having anything like that built-in, but you could always build something of your own; every page load increase hit counter or something like that - although that seems a bit hacky to say the least. If you need more sophisticated solution, you could always integrate with Google Analytics or some kind of Apache log parser, adding relevant statistic data to pages on a daily (nightly?) basis.

You can find a list of built-in page fields here: http://processwire.com/api/variables/page/. As you can see, "date" is not among them. What you seem to want here is "created." If you need the value of that field to be easily editable later, you could also create your own date field and apply some magic to that -- check "Default to today's date", hide field and show when needed / show always and handle pages with date value cleared somehow etc. Hope this helps!

So here we go: http://siebennull.com/PWfileReference/ I hope it gets clearer ;-)

If you want a really simple captcha that's very effective, add a dummy field near the top of your form like this: <textarea id='my_message' name='my_message'></textarea> Then have your CSS stylesheet hide it: #my_message { display: none; } Then on your form processing, add this check: if($input->post->my_message) { // message is very likely spam so skip or send it to your spambox mail('your.spam.email@company.com', $subject, $message); } else { // message is good mail('your.email@company.com', $subject, $message); } Other captcha solutions would be to add a "What is 5+4?" and verify that they entered 9 (using a method like above). Or add in a captcha service like Recaptcha.
