Does IE8 have a compatibility mode button (can't remember) and does this solve anything if it's toggled? Granted it's more likely to introduce other issues but you never know and if it does work even those on corporate networks should be able to switch that on. Sadly I don't have IE8 to test it myself.

I think you're right Everyone was very friendly and eager to talk about ideas and concepts in that discussion which is nice to see as to me that's what open source should be about.

I can do the British English translation - en-GB

That really is a very useful link - thanks! @ryan, any chance of a "coding chat" forum where we can group the more code/programming related tidbits like this together? I've seen/posted a few others in here.

No worries - least we could do I'm sure

This has reminded me that I've had similar issues with MODx like this before - some server security modules have really tight rules (usually mod_security) and won't allow HTML to be inputted via forms. In my case there were several rules causing the issue and I was able to ask my host to alter the rules to allow posting HTML in forms so it's worth a shot asking them if you can.

I think you're right slkwrm - definitely not a good first impression if that's your native language at the very least! I edited mine too.

Guessing you're referring to the new site design?

Hehe, except I posted mine twice because I thought the form was broken and both are now up there. Sorry for hogging the page guys!

Made sense to me, but I'm not repeating it here as it's a fairly harsh comment to MODx.

Welcome to the forums Can you show us the code you're using in your front-end template file? Then we might be able to see what the issue is and point you in the right direction.

Very nice theme! Liking the recent edited pages - I think as time goes on there could possibly end up being enough of these "widgets" that maybe the admin homepage could be a dashboard and not necessarily just the page list. Just a thought

In which case I've just never noticed it before. Oh well - thanks for looking into that Antti.

Wow, didn't see that. How long has that been there? It is a bit small though and not immediately apparent what it means - I'm only thinking of first impressions and making it easy, obviously I get what it means now because I know you can configure modules in the admin, however maybe it could use a tooltip?

That's pretty much what I was thinking above but you explained and expanded on it better

vknt - you're not alone! I actually delved into code in my first week looking for a way to change that setting but noticed that the code pointed to a variable set in the module of the Pw admin. I'm actually torn between thinking that it maybe needs to be more obvious that some modules have configuration options (some sort of visual indicator) as it wasn't immediately obvious to me either, or whether it's simply because I'm used to having to delve into code in other CMS'. What does everyone else think?

Locks are a big headache for me in MODx (well, bigger with more admin users) as it only takes someone to close their browser and the page remains locked. I think several options should be available for such a module - show warning only, lock page, and finally option to lock page but have certain users/user levels be able to override a lock (so "Ryan is currently editing the page "Pw 3.0 roadmap. Are you sure you want to continue and edit this page?"). Just a few ideas. In MODx you have to go to Tools -> Remove Locks to get around this and It removes all page locks which wouldn't be good if you had lots of users with the ability to edit content

Steer clear of Interspire - they have a good cart, but it's not been updated in ages, it's pricey and the support sucks. One that isn't the cheapest (though is among the cheaper ones) but looks to have an outstanding API and interface is this one: http://lemonstandapp.com/ . If I ever build another e-commerce site that's at the top of my list.

Hehe, awesome pic, and happy birthday ryan! That just reminded me I saw something in a marketing leaflet about branded wine and champagne bottles (you can get literally anything branded up nowadays). Also, shouldn't it be ProcessWine? Sorry

We've had similar discussions about this on StrategyCore. Every time it gets to the point where we start thinking about star ratings as a quick way to grab peoples' attention, I get reminded that if people are too lazy to read reviews then that's their own problem and that we shouldn't be spending too much time catering for those with low attention spans This was the exact same way I found out about it I must admit, I was initially a bit put off by the pink () but the video won me over.

Nope, I just got busy again Sorely tempted to check out RollerCoaster Tycoon now! If anyone wants to play a fun little turn-based game that's got some good campaigns plus the ability to play against your friends, try this one: http://slitherine.co.uk/games/bbc_ba_pc . It is ridiculously addictive. There's a review on StrategyCore (that site I'm converting into PW veeeeery slowly) here: http://www.strategycore.co.uk/articles/reviews/battlefield-academy-review/

My review to OSCMS was posted quite some time ago now - the same time as the one on alternativeTo. I know it says they're read by real people before approving, but I am actually slightly worried that maybe there's a character limit and anything over a certain length might not be getting through (my review was reasonably long). I was annoyed by the hosting "ads" too. I was almost tempted to start building a similar website in Pw (I start lots of things off spontaneously when I think I can improve upon something and almost always never finish them ), but then I stopped as I realised I don't want to build a site about other CMS'. That sounds a bit fanboy-ish, but if you were ever to build a similar website you would likely have to deal with some software you don't like and I just don't have the commitment for that. Someone should really build an alternative though EDIT: Did the number of PW downloads actually increase by the number of down votes over the period the down votes appeared? To me that would show some evidence of how flawed the system might be, not that anything will stop people voting down stuff they've not tried (assuming that turned out to be the case). There are always ways around voting systems however, so the way I would personally do it would be to tie votes in with "quality" reviews (constructive criticism etc) and not allow a vote without one - much easier to see who's just bashing and who's being thoughtful, but you do run the risk of turning into a dictator that way EDIT2: Meanwhile, back on topic, I found PW when reading a review about MODx. I think it was a link from the MODx website and there was a post in the comments (where there were a few alternative CMS' suggested) where someone mentioned how great Pw was. I checked it out, was skeptical for about 30 seconds until I played the video on the homepage and realised what it could actually do. Now all I have to do is finish converting my large-ish gaming site as I think that would make a good case study, as well as potentially result in some modules I can give back to the community ... sadly other work keeps tearing me away from that plan

PW.com loads slightly faster than PW.org - I did a few ping tests and that seems to support my experience in a browser. It's only a 20ms difference, but obviously the lower the better. both are obviously a bit slower to load than more local sites, but I wouldn't say it's particularly noticeable or off-putting.

I'll admit I've only been using it on IE8/9 and FF4+ but it's worked for me. That said, I should probably check and see what happens in Opera and Safari (I didn't bother originally as it was for an intranet system where only IE and occasionally FF is used to browse the system). I just did a search to find the code in one of my projects and found that there's a mention of ui.keycode in jQuery UI, so maybe they've already solved that problem? Indeed I just found a StackOVerflow page on different ideas regarding this that might be of some use (or that you've possibly already read ): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/302122/jquery-event-keypress-which-key-was-pressed

Do you mean something like this ryan: http://psacake.com/web/ie.asp ? I've used various bits of JS like this to stop people accidentally submitting forms before by having JS monitor for a particular key being pressed. Although it's only tenuously related, other nice things I've done in the past like this include preventing users from inputting certain characters into fields at all - for example in fields where only a number was expected I prevented them from entering any characters apart from numbers and single period.
