ProcessWire Forum Rules Version 1.1. Last updated November 10, 2014 Purpose of the Forums The ProcessWire forums are a self-help support forum where users can also contribute towards the future of ProcessWire. It is comprised of individuals from across the globe who want to help each other and who are giving much of their free time to do so. Many members have commented that the ProcessWire forums are exceptional in how equally friendly and hospitable they are to those who are very knowledgeable and those who are only just beginning to learn. A word about the rules The rules are here for the benefit of everyone. It says something about a community that we have not required any for four years despite the occasional heated debate. However, as the community has grown it seems only fair to create rules for both members and staff alike. Rules are not the same as laws. They are applied to each individual situation as the need arises and can be interpreted by the staff after reaching a consensus, where appropriate, or they may be enforced quicker in the case of situations requiring immediate attention or that are in very clear violation of the rules. Please respect the outcome of any decisions made by the staff. Rules for posting No Flaming. Never threaten the project, developers or other forum members. Threatening behaviour will be dealt with swiftly by staff and may result in a ban.. No Spamming. Spamming violations may result in your post count being reset, revocation of posting privileges, or even permanent banning from the site. There are several types of spam: Off-Topic posts outside the off topic “Pub” forum. If you wish to make an off topic post, please do this in the “Pub” forum. Multiposting. Multiposting is repeating the same message several times in the same topic, or, making a post directly after another, when you could have edited the additional comments into your first post. Multithreading. Multithreading is posting the same message in several different threads. If you do not receive a reply to your post, it may be that people do not have an opinion or are simply not online. Be patient. Unauthorized Advertising. Any unauthorized advertisements will be deleted and the offending member may be banned. Please note that linking to your company website is permitted in your signature as a plain text link. No discussion of politics or religion anywhere on these forums including the Off Topic boards - there are many other websites where you may discuss these topics. Please avoid very bad language. This is not an adult only forum so treat it as being family friendly. Please respect others’ opinions. Do not state that they are wrong and dismiss them in a derogatory manner. Please try and offer constructive counter-arguments when joining a topic containing a debate. If in doubt, don’t post. Please don't tell other people to go and search if they ask a question that has been asked before. If you like, inform a member of staff or a moderator via the reporting feature and we will do our best to merge it into a relevant topic, or you could suggest in a polite manner so as not to offend that they Google the forums via this link - just remember to be friendly as a link on its own can be mistaken for frustration or impatience. Please do not make demands of the developers of this project or of those who manage the forums. It is disrespectful to the people who give so much of their free time to this community Please contact us if you have an issue with another member or even a staff member - the relevant points of contact are at the bottom of this post Please respect the privacy of others. If a member chooses to use a pseudonym rather than their real name, that is their privilege. Please respect their wishes and do not out them even if their real name is common knowledge. Keep to one identity. Do not create alternate avatars and just stick to the one. If there are technical reasons why you need a new one (can’t rescue the old one, perhaps) be open about it. If you are angry about something, step back, take a breather and try to post a reasonable reply. If you feel that someone is being wholly unreasonable or stubborn, please contact a member of staff. Please try and use Common Sense. No set of rules can cover everything. If you think about what you are posting before posting, you shouldn’t run into any trouble. Remember, this is a forum about a software project, not world peace. It is doubtful ANY argument is important enough to be angry about. Please note that these rules may be updated from time to time. If you continue to use these forums it is assumed that you agree to them. Rules for using the Personal Message system The boards have a simple and unrestricted personal messenger - please use this responsibly. In addition to the above rules regarding posting: Please do not use the personal messenger to threaten anyone, tell them off or send a message that is likely to upset or offend. Please respect every member’s privacy and only PM someone if you feel they will be happy to receive a message from you. If you receive any messages that you feel are inappropriate, please contact a member of staff rather than taking matters into your own hands. Please do not copy and paste private messages into the public forums without the consent of the sendee. Actions we might take At the sole discretion of the forum staff and/or administrators, you may be given a warning if you break the rules. If the infraction is deemed severe enough, you will be banned. If you repeatedly break the rules or are belligerent in your response to staff/admin messages about an infraction then you will also be banned. If we do contact you it will be via the personal messenger system on the forums or, in the event of a ban, we will contact you via your registration email. We will not conduct conversations in public nor will we reply to any public conversations about a particular case. Points of contact If you have an issue that requires staff attention, in the first instance you should report the content using the “Report” link at the bottom-right corner of the relevant post. If you wish to, please contact a particular member of staff directly about an issue. If your issue is about a particular member of staff, please contact Pete and/or ryan via Personal Message. Please don't be put off by these rules. They are in place to help make sure that the site keeps its nice and friendly atmosphere. We're not here to rule with an iron fist - we’re here to discuss ideas and help one another, but we will act when people disregard the rules or ruin the atmosphere.

Posting Guidelines In addition to the rules, it is recommended that you read the following guidelines to get the most out of your interactions with this community. Interpreting other members’ posts Our community is a global community and as such posts and intentions can be misunderstood. If you encounter a reply that seems “short” and contains links to other topics that may answer your question, this may be due to the large number of members who use the forums on their mobile devices and want to help but don’t have time for a more complete reply or for whom English is not their first language. Please try and give people the benefit of the doubt when posting. Please do not dismiss their views out of hand (constructive replies are welcome). The forum language is English. We really appreciate the effort everyone makes from countries around the world to post in English. After careful consideration and experience on other forums, it makes sense to have one common language for discussion here so that ideas can be shared and not missed in language-specific forums - the same applies for debates that might get out of hand as we do not want to miss those either. There are more and more country-specific ProcessWire websites cropping up however so if you find that a group of you are in agreement and wish to set up a language-specific forum of your own then please feel free. Suggesting new modules/features Many of the features of ProcessWire have been born out of suggestions by users or discussions within the community, but that does not mean that every suggestion can be taken on board or that it might even be in tune with the overall strategy for the project. If you have suggestions for new features or modules, please feel free to propose them in a simple, open way in the Wishlist & Roadmap forum, but don’t be upset if no one is interested. Developer’s needs vary greatly. Your suggestion might well be something that is better developed as a third party module; in fact that is often the case. You are free to develop that yourself or work with others on a project, or even post a job to get help in the jobs board. However, whatever your idea or wish for a new feature, please do not make your suggestion sound like a demand, or tell the developers they have “got it all wrong,” or that you know what is best for ProcessWire. That is simply unfair to those who have been working on the project for free for years. Answering topics If you can help your fellow members then that’s great! Giving something back to the community in a constructive manner is always welcome. If someone replies in a topic you started and you think it is the best answer then please click the “Mark Solved” button at the bottom-right of the relevant post. Staff may mark a post as the best answer for you or change the chosen answer at their discretion if there is a better/more comprehensive answer later on in that topic. Some of the most prolific posters in the community do not count themselves at experts, but are very good at pointing new members in the right direction - you don’t have to be an expert in order to help out. Please don’t tell someone off for asking a silly question - there is no such thing! Every question is being asked because the person genuinely does not know the answer and might not know where to look. Raising issues or disagreements Nobody frequenting this forum should feel threatened when voicing their opinion as long as they are doing so constructively. Please be mindful however that everyone is unique and may interpret situations differently which could lead to misunderstandings. If you find that you disagree with someone, they may simply have a different point of view - this does not automatically mean that their view is wrong or your view is right. If multiple people disagree with you, it could be that a point has been raised many times before and/or that your point is not clear. Please seek clarification and remain calm or go talk about something else. If someone appears to be being simply argumentative, repetitive or belligerent in their replies then please do contact a member of staff and refrain from being drawn into the discussion further. To repeat, we are not solving world issues here, nothing is really so important that you HAVE to say something. If in doubt, say nothing and read another topic.

And too bad about WordPress if that's what they are using. I don't think they even know about PW. I will have to have a talk with them sometime.

kogondo was a little faster, anyway also not tested, just grabbed from a module i was working on. This also includes the creation of the page containing the template. $fieldgroup_category = new Fieldgroup(); $fieldgroup_category->name = 'template_category'; $fieldgroup_category->add($this->fields->get('title')); $fieldgroup_category->save(); $template_category = new Template(); $template_category->name = 'template_category'; $template_category->fieldgroup = $fieldgroup_category; $template_category->noChildren = 0; $template_category->noParents = 0; $template_category->slashUrls = 1; $template_category->urlSegments = 0; $template_category->pageLabelField = 'title'; $template_category->save(); $page_category = new Page(); $page_category->template = $template_category; $page_category->parent = 1; $page_category->title = 'Category'; $page_category->name = 'category'; $page_category->process = $this; $page_category->save();

Templates need corresponding fieldgroups...Something like below should do it (not tested, written quickly!) //new fieldgroup $fg = new Fieldgroup(); $fg->name = 'template-category'; $fg->add(wire('fields')->get('title')); $fg->save();//save the fieldgroup //create a new template to use with this fieldgroup $template_category = new Template(); $template_category->name = 'template-category'; $template_category->fieldgroup = $fg; //add the fieldgroup we created above $template_category->label = 'Category Template'; //template label $template_category->save();

@Lars: it is better to not change the core files. If you have a look, your desired method already is precedeed by three underscores: ___setupPageName(. This makes it hookable! The prefered way is to create a custom module and hook into pages::setupPageName. You can hook into before and/or after, or you also can replace it completly by using addhook instead of addhookbefore / addhookafter.

I like how the grey background makes the active tab realy pop out

When you create a user through the admin or through the API, it always gets assigned the guest role along with the custom roles that you assign. So if you assign a custom role "user", your user will have 2 roles: guest and user. Now you can check if a user has the role "user" and a total of 2 roles assigned. In PHP: if (count($user->roles) == 2 && $user->hasRole("user")) { //do stuff here }

is this not the support forum? https://processwire.com/talk/topic/6727-field-generator/ in the video it clearly shows 'name' as the field being targeted. Could be a compatibility issue if it is not working.. maybe you have to check OpenSSL dependency? you could easily write a much simpler module (see example code below), or use processwire's new automatic page name feature (i'm using it a lot).. here is an example of a simple module to create a randomy page name, using PHP uniqid() function (untested): <?php public function generateRandomName() { if ($this->input->get->parent_id == 1019) { // 1019 = some page where we want to auto-generate child page names $page = new Page(); $page->parent = $this->input->get->parent_id; $page->template = 'child-template-name'; $page->name = uniqid(); $page->addStatus(Page::statusUnpublished); $page->save(); $this->session->redirect("../edit/?id=$page"); } }

you mean like this? if( $user->hasRole('user') && !$user->hasRole('editor') && !$user->hasRole('admin') && !$user->hasRole('superadmin')) { //password reset stuff here }

Hi, I don't know if this is the right section for this but I collected some thoughts and a kind of manual about how to increase the performance of your website under load with nginx and fastcgi_cache. At best, this could be a kind of ProCache for nginx users, as not everyone is using Apache and thus not able to use ProCache on their sites. Additionally, this solution comes with the benefit of server side mobile detection and selective caching. http://svn.matthiashaak.com/website-performance-with-processwire-nginx-and-fastcgi_cache/ Please let me know your thoughts or questions about this. Be aware however, that with this solution you end up serving static pages, so no hooks or PHP functions will be called. I am currently working on a module that eases the cache purging, so kindly be patient if you need this. "Wait, and thou shalt receive"

lisandi, just a piece of advice: continuing in behaving like you do at the moment, always and kind of aggressively advising the same service, and to talk smack to moderators won't make you any friends here.

Or use my Images manager module.

yes i did Diogo, paper on grey background and buttons are based on material design but not every thing is based on it. for example forms and tabs are different

Marek, did you follow Google material design guidelines for this? http://www.google.com/design/spec/material-design/introduction.html Looking good

For the concatenating part you can have a look at module FieldtypeConcatenate.

Not sure if this is already reported or intentional: when adding a new page using the latest dev, the result of the check if the entered page name is already taken displays between the field name "Name" and the "*" for mandatory (see screenshot). It seems a bit confusing to have the "*" in a separate line below, maybe this should still be shown after the "Name"?

Thank you for your work Kongondo! I have a slightly silly question: is there a way to keep up with updates even after changing some stuff in the module files? I reworked some of your blog functions return values to make it match my design (jalgrattur.eu/blog/).

I used to work there for several years- my first job out of college. I actually designed the website about 2-3 versions before the current one. Though couldn't tell you anything about the current site. I've always missed working there, one of the best places I've worked. Always great to hear about Grafik.

That's looking pretty good.

A quick Google search brought up zillions of tutorials and jquery plugins, for example this one here. Technically, if the user starts to scroll, you decrease the height of the header with every pixel scrolled.

You know, what. I must leave now or my wife will kill me. I am stucked to this computer since morning, actually, since morning 1 month ago and we go to a party today that started an hour ago. I will be back tomorrow and, if so will you, we finish tomorrow. Anyway I have to finish it. Thank you all veeeery much for today and see u tomorrow.

Go to the guest user and change language to what you wish i.e. Deutsch. Having english as a second language is also easy, you don't need language translation files for english as it's already english, so just keep (core) it empty.

@Raymond I'm trying this out now and seem to have hit a problem. I can see that the assigned column is getting stored correctly in the DB but when I access the assigned time as per your example in the opening post I always get "1970-01-01 01:33:34" - which is obviously incorrect. Edited to add: I think your example code should be... if (count($page->myfriends)) { foreach($page->myfriends as $friend) { echo "id: ".$friend->id."<br>"; echo "name: ".$friend->name."<br>"; echo "assigned on: ".$friend->assigned."<br><br>"; } } ...as the assigned field is already formatted. Double-formatting it causes the problem (at least it does in my case.)

@steve: I don't see 'assigned' back in the names array of ->getMatchQuery, so I doubt. One thing I know for sure: Raymond will be open for enhancement.

@Raymond Thanks for sharing this module. I'm thinking of using it in a project but need to know if the assigned value is API settable too - I'm presuming it is but want to be sure. Thanks in advance!

I think it will only work with > 2.5

Just wanted to throw in my two cents. If you come at it as a front-end developer that's a complete beginner to CMSs, then PW should be very easy to get going. It's built around working the same way that existing web technologies work… Pages map in the same way that URLs do… Template files are just plain HTML/PHP files… the API is largely the same as a front-end API (jQuery)… and so on. So if you know your basic web technologies outside of CMSs, then you won't find a simpler system than ProcessWire. The problem is most other CMSs don't work that way. So the line gets more blurry when you've become used to the terminology and approach of another CMS, because PW can be quite different. Sometimes you have to unlearn what you know from elsewhere in order to appreciate the simplicity of PW. People are always trying to find complexity that isn't there, especially those that grew up on other platforms. PW is a system that rewards you by being curious. We aim to show you how to fish so that you can catch the big fish. We're not here to catch the fish for you. You don't have to know anything about fishing, but you should know how to yell for help if you fall in the water. And you should be willing to learn by example. I learn best by example, so this is the way I tend to teach too (and I recognize not everyone learns the same way). PW is a CMS and CMF, not a website builder. If you are curious and willing to explore, you'll find it is very simple indeed. Certainly far simpler than even WordPress in creating a custom website. You do have to come from the point of view of "I want to create and have the system adapt to me" rather than "I will create something based on what the system provides." If you already know what you want to create and it's something unique, you won't find a simpler path to get there than PW. WordPress is a different beast, in that it's basically saying "YOU WILL CREATE A BLOG or modify this blog and call it something else." Some people like that underlying structure… "okay, we're starting with a blog, what can we do with it?" Others do not like that underlying structure. Our audience consists of those that want to have a system support their original creation rather than mash up an existing creation. There was a PDF posted earlier that I think hit upon some good points, and I appreciate the effort that went into putting it together. The fictional character being scripted in the dialog is not our target. I can go into specifics if anyone wants me to, but I was definitely left feeling at the end of it that we have to be careful about hand-feeding too much or else we'll start attracting people beyond our support resources. Folks that want the fish cooked and filleted rather than folks learning to fish. Perhaps in time we will want to attract more of the consumer-type audience, but currently I don't know how to support users looking to find all the answers in a sitemap file. Keep in mind that unbridled growth is not necessarily desirable. Most of us don't get paid for most of the work we do here and we do best if we grow in a more healthy manner, attracting more thoughtful designer/developers that are here to learn and also contribute. Obviously the author of the PDF is one of the thoughtful ones (and the PDF is a great contribution), even if his fictional character isn't necessarily, but we'll welcome him anyway. But we will definitely be going through the PDF in more detail to learn and improve from it where appropriate, while keeping our audience in mind. I think we're doing something right, because our audience is growing rapidly. I'm nearly full time on ProcessWire now, and it's still difficult to keep up with everyone. At present, I like that our audience is largely open-minded, curious and thoughtful designers and developers. Somehow we've attracted an incredible quality of people and that's what makes this place great. We could not ask for a better group of people here. I'm reluctant to lead PW towards a website builder direction because I think that's when the quality of the community could go down, as people come looking to eat fish rather than learn, catch some fish, and throw some back. The reality is that part of our long term goals include converting the rather large audience that has outgrown WordPress into ProcessWire users. I'm convinced that we do that by giving them more ProcessWire, and not more WordPress. But at the same time, we always have to keep an eye on WordPress and learn. They've been lucky no doubt, but they are also doing many things right. So we have been and always will be working to make the WP-side of users more comfortable in ProcessWire, while also trying to help them grow by distancing them from the limited WP mindset.

Piwik is awesome to track. I have installed piwik 1.0 and did something before for a project. For the current project I am also trying 2.0, which is far better. I can see various use cases with it. One of the good thing is you can call the piwik api, get the image or json and plot or change accordingly on our system. Update : If you don't have a server to manage or install piwik then will be good to go with google analytics. And in 2.0 installation, I didn't have any trouble also.
