Hi all, first of all I'm sorry this is going to sound a bit negative. But ever since the new website launched I feel like it's increasingly difficult to convince clients that have never heard of ProcessWire to use it. Have any of you experienced the same? I'm not a designer, but I feel like the content and the design have been made to target developers. That's valid, but if our clients don't want to use the system, neither can we, at least professionally. In my opinion at least the homepage would need a design and content overhaul to streamline the first impression and explain to non-techies why ProcessWire is awesome.

Hi @David Karich this is awesome news. Thank you for all your hard work on this!

@Jonathan Lahijani, I've released a new module that provides an overview of field access settings:

I quite agree with your two points above. "Section for practical code examples." They could be added to the method descriptions, and not just sample code strictly related to a given method, but code showcasing typical scenarios with related methods and often used techniques, "coding patterns". "Currently a lot of core features are very fragmented and hard to find if you don't know they exist in the first place." So true! I have some notes of some important settings, which I often set up differently from the defaults, but having to look through them just to find something is time consuming. Some sort of clever way of gathering information and providing it in a categorized and digested way would help, I think.

The following is written in somewhat hurry, but I'm sure most of you get what I mean. What Processwire really needs is: Section for practical code examples. Searching through the forum gets tiresome and sometimes it can take hours to find what you're looking for. The API is good, but sometimes very opaque if you don't already posses good deal of knowledge about it. Admin needs some kind of "settings" page that puts things like "password strength" in one easy to reach place. Basically everything the core modules do, should be here. Then if you want to edit something, it will point you to the right module. Currently a lot of core features are very fragmented and hard to find if you don't know they exist in the first place. I think them being in the modules is great, but one page that gathers all that information is easy to digest form would make it better.

AIOM is alive 🙃 I am pleased to announce that the AIOM module will be further developed and supported by @matjazp. My original repository is now archived, and matjazp's fork is now the official one. The forked version is now also listed in the Processwire module directory. This should make it possible for everyone to update the old version to the new one, either manually or via the ProcessWire upgrade module.

@theoretic just to confirm.. you have set AdminThemeUikit to use the "original" style?
