Haha, 90% done? Read this http://andyadams.org/90-projects-and-wordpress/

Greetings, Yes, it's true that custom fields is often cited as a top advantage of ProcessWire, and having this capability does make ProcessWire better than most other CMSs right from the start. However, custom fields is just the surface of what makes ProcessWire so special. Honestly, superficially, you can get custom fields with a plugin for WordPress or Joomla or Drupal. But with ProcessWire there's more to it than just creating fields: A crystal-clear API for deep querying of data (your fields) in almost any way you can imagine. It allows you to advance your core knowledge of PHP, then use that knowledge directly. You don't have to learn a weird way to implement PHP (i.e., make use of those fields). The system handles the above two points with impressive speed. There are numerous other advantages to using ProcessWire. These are just a few that are directly related to custom fields. Thanks, Matthew

Getting ready to launch. Needs some finishing touches but wanted to share it http://www.gabrielaestates.com

Hi guys, just finished new portfolio site. My friend Piter did the design, i did all the coding. In portfolio you can see couple of our sites, all build on processwire. Site is still in tests, so there might be some bugs . Cheers. http://avenueagency.eu/

bloomie, Take the plunge! There are a lot of helpful folks here that will chime in to assist you when needed.

At my job I was forced to use Wordpress for a recent project (wasn't my decision of course). We had to use ACF Pro, and let me tell you - in terms of rendering time / flexibility, and performance, ACF is a mess. In a debug report, I found that 2/3 of the performance loss was created by the ACF plugin. Some pages use over 130 queries and take up to 2 seconds to render. The whole WP architecture is just not made for custom-tailored sites, and I still don't agree when some people actually call it a CMS; to me, it's an article management system. (but maybe I digress - there's a big WP thread elsewhere that covers all of that) oh - also.... ACF created a whopping 40k records in the wp_postmeta table. For a relatively small website (local business). wtf?

You're mostly correct. About the WP Loop comes this to my mind: http://www.designer-daily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/query_functions.jpg. ProcessWire simple uses php functions like foreach, implode, explode and since a few versions special convenience functions WireArray::implode & WireArray::explode, which work similar to their php counterparts but look a little cleaner. No need for a strange loop object if you can simply iterate everything thats at least array like or even an array. Regarding the calendar / ecommerce thing. It's true that there aren't many ready made plugins out there, but at least for ecommerce it may even be better to use a dedicated ecommerce cms.

Here is a new module for ProcessWire 2.1 that imports pages from a CSV file. By default it will create new pages from data in the CSV file, but you can also configure it to modify existing pages too (existing pages that have the same title). Please give it a try and let me know how it works for you and if you run into any issues with it. This module is something I've had in the works for awhile, and regularly use on various projects, so figured I should clean it up a bit and release it. Also attached are a couple screenshots from it. How to Install: 1. Download from: https://github.com/r.../ImportPagesCSV 2. Place the file ImportPagesCSV.module in your /site/modules/ directory. 3. In ProcessWire admin, click to 'Modules' and 'Check for new modules'. 4. Click 'install' next to the 'Import Pages CSV' module (under heading 'Import'). Following that, you'll see a new menu option for this module on your Admin > Setup menu. Supported field types for importing:* PageTitle Text Textarea (including normal or TinyMCE) Integer Float Email URL Checkbox (single) *I'll be adding support for multi-value, page-reference and file-based Fieldtypes in a future version.

FieldtypeStarRating Module for ProcessWire - Field that stores an integer by using a star rating interface. Current version: 1.0.0 Module page: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/fieldtype-star-rating/ Github: https://github.com/Rayden/FieldtypeStarRating To install Copy to /site/modules/ and go to Admin > Modules > Check for new modules. Tested on ProcessWire 2.6.2 dev Usage back-end Create a new field with the fieldtype Star Rating. Set the amount of stars you want to show, by default it is set to 5 stars. Assign the field to any template. Now you can set the field value by selecting any of the 5 stars. The number saved to the database equals the number of stars that are highlighted. Hovering the stars will show a reset icon, which will reset the value to 0 by clicking on it.

NOGAJSKI FOTOGRAFIE I have relaunched my homepage. I don't remember exactly how many versions I may had since I launched my first homepage in 1999, but for me, the new one seems to be the cleanest and fastest. At least its the one with the best backend ever. (PW 2.6) The layout of all pages, including the slideshow, is usable from (300 x 260 px) up to bigger desktops (27''). I have tried to satisfy google PageSpeed, but only in a medium range. Other tools than googles do a more in depth analysis and show much better detailed results. But anyway. All pages uses one sitewide css file and one sitewide js file. Only the portfolio slideshow loads an additional js and css file too. (The server is setup to force browser caching, so with the second page view, no js or css dependencies need to be downloaded.) And ProCache is used! (what else) Besides my images API tools I use delayed output via Spex. CSS framework is pocket-grid and on the JS side I use LazySizes, Vegas and the new Photoswipe 4. Thats all. http://nogajski.de/ Here are some screens with minimal viewport (300x260): and here are two medium screens:

renobird, I'm going to. Just sat now and decided to use it on one of my domains, africanfishing.net, as a test project. First have to finish off one or two other WP sites that are 90 percent done, but then I'll slowly but surely start working on the .net site. Thanks!

Het is een klein grapje, Martijn. Je bent werkelijk schitterend.

Thank you for that, Peter. On my site it is not quite that simple. The child page shows the reverse side of the card but also has different text. I will bear in mind what you have suggested though.

ProcessWire is a tool that in most cases overperforms other similar softwares in many aspects. According to your actual project, PW may fit in or not. Even if not, I would recommend you to check for other solutions and use WP only if you have strong reasons (or your boss has, of course ). If your goal is to become a coding expert, WP is definitely NOT the way to go.

I just experience something else. In backend when I have single value select, once I have selected an option I can't go back and select the first bank value to "remove", it just doesn't save it and it's still previous value selected. Why is there a blank value if I can't save it?

Cathegories...are simple by pagefields. (Even nice functions like "See also" could be just simple pagefield to select.) Easy example on a site for a diary like newssystem with use of URL segments....really great stuff for little functions like /archive/ or /2015/ or /my-cat/ just with different URL segements... Newspage: http://waldkindergarten-altfraunhofen.de/aktuelles/#start URL Segment for archive show all: http://waldkindergarten-altfraunhofen.de/aktuelles/archiv/#start URL Segment 2 for year: http://waldkindergarten-altfraunhofen.de/aktuelles/archiv/2015/#start or for cathegory name: http://waldkindergarten-altfraunhofen.de/aktuelles/archiv/ausfluege/#start every single item lives under /aktuelles/: http://waldkindergarten-altfraunhofen.de/aktuelles/unser-waldkater-2015-05-11/ (it get on creation a name + date combination) some codeexamples for URL Segments are here - this works with just a few lines of code so great, so easy, so cool...ähh sorry but in every second post i have to write how much i like PW!! https://processwire.com/talk/topic/9476-new-project-a-nice-growing-kindergarten/#entry91259 (attention - it's may not the best code but it works so far) some backend pics... I only have one single cat to choose since i use this in the isotope view to sort! best regards mr-fan

I use PHP-based Hanna Code snippets for embedding certain fields from certain pages on other pages. Now I stumbled upon the fact that you cannot render fields within a Hanna Code when the Hanna Code Textformatter is applied to that field. The result is a broken output where only a small part of the page is being rendered. How can I achieve those "recursive Hanna Codes"?

I've a feature request. As I can assign users of ProcessWire the right to view/list hanna codes it would be nice to be able to incorporate a description field, where I can add small explanations for each code. This way the list/view permission would be more useful on it's own. This could maybe later be incorporated in something like a small dropdown underneath hanna code textfields.

This is such a cool feature and beautifully implemented. I'd love to eventually see something like this where you can check multiple templates field could be applied to ...which reveals the list of fields incl. sorting I guess its a mix of @Ryan current work and @LostKobraKai idea earlier in the thread.

Good ideas, we'll definitely have to look into these for future updates in the comments module. However, I also want to note that we already do have an alternative built in, that I've found to be just as effective as a captcha (if not more so) on the sites where I use it. Look at the 'requireSecurityField' option in /wire/modules/Fieldtype/FieldtypeComments/CommentForm.php. This option can be enabled in the options to the form: echo $page->comments->renderForm(array('requireSecurityField' => 'security_field')); I typically hide my comment form with CSS to prevent the possibility of false positives: #CommentForm { display: none; } Then use JS to show the comment form, and append a security field to it: $(document).ready(function() { var $input = "<input type='hidden' name='security_field' value='1' />"; $("#CommentForm form").append($input).parent().show(); } No more spam. The only downside is that your comment form now requires Javascript to use. But since you are hiding it with CSS and making it visible with JS, at least you won't be disappointing anyone.
