One of my clients specializes in putting on conferences/summits around the world, primarily focused on architecture and sustainable design. I mentioned to them how some users here (starting with Netcarver) had expressed interest in a ProcessWire meetup or conference in the UK. This client does conferences in the UK every year and they are extremely enthusiastic about ProcessWire and interested in helping us to put on a conference by letting us collaborate with their conference and share the same venues and accommodations. This would help us benefit from their expertise in putting on conferences (which they've done for more than a decade), as well as help [significantly] on costs in reserving the venues, food, hotels. I have worked with this client since 1994 (18 years), so have a very high level of trust with them. The conference would be in August 2013 and be 1.5 days in London at a major ad agency, then we'd step on a train for an hour or so and do the rest of the conference in Cambridge at Kings College for another 1.5 days (total 3 days). This would be a small but relatively formal conference with presentations and workshops covering everything ProcessWire, design and web development. We'd cover topics at a higher level than you'd find anywhere else in the world. I don't yet have an idea on costs except to say that we'd find a way to make it accessible to as large of an audience as possible, and it would be completely non profit, food and accommodations (for those that wanted it) included. Yet, it'd still be higher class and more personal than any other webdev conference. This is about a year out, so I'm interested in finding out who'd be interested in this. Please 'like' or reply to this post if you would be interested in attending (or presenting) at this conference.

Modules Manager for ProcessWire2.+ Module Manager enables you to browse the modules directory on modules.processwire.com, download, install or update them. Requires the JqueryDataTables module to be installed before you can install Modules Manager. "allow_url_fopen" to be enabled in your php.ini. "openssl" PHP extension needs to be installed on your server. PHP to have read/write access to the /site/modules/ directory For further informations contact the readme seen on modules directory or github. Modules Directory: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/modules-manager/ Github Project: https://github.com/s.../ModulesManager

Just made an update with some small improvements. Added also link to each module for its page on http://modules.processwire.com. I have now also added the module to the modules directory http://modules.processwire.com/modules/modules-manager/ so it can now also be updated using the Modules Manager. I just tried and it's possible so it updates itself!

Thanks Martijn! Yes there's many high quality modules as also exists in other frameworks or CMS' and I also think it depends a lot on the system and community. Yeah the simplicity and flexibility in PW is astounding and almost cries out "EXTEND ME!". The fact that it is a framework that is so well designed and using that foundation, the CMS as such is built using it makes it very versatile and logik. But the best part is that it is built modular using different types of modules and mini systems (process, fieldtypes, inputfields, js modules ...) and in the exact same way you can extend it and build modules that work exactly the same! You can take almost any module out from the wire/modules/ and move it to the site/modules/ folder modify it to your needs and install it. To go even further it uses same API as you use (or can use) in templates, the transition is almost seamless. So you can also look at core code and modules as reference and example. I'm not the very advanced php programmer and always got my problems with OOP, but after digging into PW after seeing how modules are done it took me no time to get into it and already built 15 modules in 1 year, AND IT WAS FUN! I'm the guy in love of least resistance and having fun . After using MODX 1-2 years, all I got was a half backed test module that had no purpose but was damn hard to setup, but also didn't attract me as much as PW did. Same goes for other systems that seem like having extra hard layer that's designed for modules, but too complicated to be fun, or like another system inside a system. So even if may not perfect in all regards PW is a great foundation that will show and have impact on other systems. MODX already is announcing a light weight distribution with 3.0, and I'm proud modern systems like PW played a role in it.

PHP-newbie just had to find this one out - but it wasn't actually that much of a PHP-related thing after all... Yes, the leading zero makes it octal - and octal numbers may contain only digits 0-7, so your example was just a bit off the limits . PHP.net says: "If an invalid digit is given in an octal integer (i.e. 8 or 9), the rest of the number is ignored.". (Whole article on integers.) And there's the explanation for 008 becoming a zero in the quote as well.

Authors of existing modules Please post existing modules to the new modules directory as soon as you are able to. I would add all them myself except that each module gets authenticated with the author. This ensures you are able to make future edits to it. If I went and added all the modules (or imported from that spreadsheet we made awhile back), you wouldn't be able to edit your listing. This is the only reason why I haven't added/imported anyone's modules except my own. Authors of new modules In addition to creating a thread here, please post your module at the new modules directory. You might want to create the thread here first since you'll be asked for the URL when creating your entry in the directory. Add your module to the directory

Soma's module manager wasn't able to get the file from the forum thread of my module http://processwire.com/talk/topic/1182-module-image-tags/. Meanwhile, I created a github page and all works now. I noticed that when I opened the link in the browser from the module manager, I was asked to login to get to the file. So, that's where the problem lives. The files from the forum are not opened to everyone, so they shouldn't be used on the modules pages as the download link. My mistake, but maybe there should be a reference to this on the "download url" field description.

Hi Ryan and all others! This is a great addition and it will make it so much easier for PW users to find all these cool modules and themes. I haven't been very active recently (have been without internet for quite some time because we moved to a new house and the internet/phone company had some issues when connecting us). But soon I'll become more active again and will update a few of my modules/language packs. /Jasper

I just hit "refresh" in the admin and there it shows the updated version! So cool

I updated my modules and modules page according to those rules. Hope it helps.

Hello to all, I keep testing ProcessWire on my 'amateur' side (compared to what you all do) and I'm really impressed by the work. And this blog profile sounds excellent to me. I can't wait to see the distribution version! I was trying to build a personal site from scratches, but I do have to admit that it is difficult for non-professional programmers to think of everything and profiles like this one is a great help for us (at least, for me...). So thanks in advance ! My post doesn't help for anything... but I just wanted to let you know that I am interested and... happy to use PW ;-)
