JFTR: I did wipe the installation and re-installed with dev version 252 (instead of 253). With 252 there were no issues installing the latest Tracy directly from the Module Repo. So this topic can be considered 'closed', as it's definitely not a Tracy issue but a dev core issue.

Interesting. I tend to handle Repeater Matrix items with /site/templates/fields/ files, so not sure if I've actually attempted this 🙂 If you're doing this in the context of another page, one option might be using Wireframe::page(). I seem to recall having used it for rendering Repeaters. Though not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for here?

This week I’ve been working on some useful additions to our Markup Regions system, but I don’t have those additions quite ready to commit to the core just yet. Hopefully next week they will be ready. What it involves is the ability to populate regions within CSS, JS, SCSS, LESS files. So I might output a <style> tag in my markup (for example), but the styles go into a CSS file rather than in the HTML output. That CSS file combines and contains all such instances, and can then be loaded from a dedicated <link> tag in the document head. You could do the same with JS, but using <script> tags instead. I’m not sure I’ve explained it well just yet, so I’ll have a better description of it next week, along with some practical examples. It’s very simple and I think examples will make it obvious. Stay tuned, have a great weekend and thanks for reading!

Coming from my own redesign that used a very, very bright non-white background color (to lessen the burden of contrast on the eyes), I agree with this. As much as an off-white may be slightly more soothing to the eyes, it's very difficult to make it look fresh, or clean, because we associate pure white with that, for the most part. It can be done, but is far more difficult to accomplish from a design perspective. That said, it's still just a preferential bias. 🙂

Here's another website that i recently made that I would like to share with the community: https://www.w2-ingenieure.de/ W² Ingenieure (which is german and translates to "W² Engineers") is a small office that offers that develops, modernizes, and optimizes living and working spaces in Germany like: Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, and Lower Saxony. Whether for private households, commercial enterprises, public institutions, or industrial plants – they plan and implement customized solutions for even the most complex requirements. This project is a redesign of an existing website. While the old website had plenty of good content, there were multiple flaws in the design (especially the mobile version of the website) so my main task was not to make a from-the-ground-new-concept but to give it a better, functional and more polished look based on the CI. As we are talking about an engineering company that offers planning for the construction industry the look of the site hat to be sleek, clean, somehow modern and overall "serious". We are not talking about a design-agency website here. Tech Talk: - UiKit as frontend framework - RockPageBuilder for content creation and editing - TextformatterRockDown to enable headline formatting - RockFrontend for Ajax Endpoints (used in form submissions) - RockDevTools for Asset Management and Minification - SEO Maestro for SEO meta data - PageImageSource for webp image creation - FileMover as a workaround for a global media management solution - WiremailSMTP to handle form submissions So here it is: The website consists of several page templates, including: - Homepage - Content Page - Project Page - Job Page - etc. The Homepage and Content Page templates can be populated with pre-defined content-blocks via @bernhards RockPageBuilder. This is straight-forward and easy-to use. The user can chose between multiple content elements and place those elements in any order they want: For Example we have: - Textfields - Teaser in multiple variants - Description Lists - Hero Title Image Sections - etc. Once added the content can be edited directly in the frontend or inside a convenient popup window (or from the backend page edit view of course). Other templates like the Project Page offer a more strict, predefined, layout to achieve a uniform look throughout any project page that is crated. These type of pages can be populated from the backend more easily: I have to keep my attachment file list small, so please have a look on this site for yourself and don't hesitate to ask any questions if you would like to know more about the tech in the background. Have a great week! Stefan
