Multiple spaces shouldn't be a problem, but no spaces will be.

ProcessWire is an interesting one in that the dev branch is usually really stable to be honest. I would say that most of the issues tend to be really minor usually, but Adrian's advice is good (as usual) - see what's been updated and decide whether you want to wait a few days or not. So many of us are using the dev branch that things get rectified pretty quickly and unless you're using brand new functionality that's literally only been out for 24 hours you shouldn't run into too many surprises - even then it's usually pretty solid. Usually

@vxda - just sent you a message. Yeah, I need to change the login check as it actually performs a whole login whereas it's only really relevant to check the username and password were correct and not mess with the forum login functionality at all.

Not intended and not something anyone else has reported. I would suggest logging out and back in via the forums and not the directory to see if that helps.

Nothing is usually in a /config/ or /tools/ page (depending on what you want to call yours). Many of us create such a page to put tags and lots of other things under them that don't really need to appear in the site structure itself. For example, in the Dev Directory on the PW site I put draft profiles under /config/drafts/ out of the way of the rest of the page tree until they have been approved, but you could also do similar with a list of countries, colours... whatever you may need to reference in a Page field that doesn't need to be in your navigation.

On my installation clicking the PW logo or Admin link from the breadcrumb does take me to the dashboard as expected. I can't remember, but I think at first install it appeared to the right of Pages in the menu - I think (trying to remember) it needs to be the first child page under /processwire/ in the tree in order to work like this.

Just approved your entry Felix. Manaus, you should have a private message on the forums with instructions.

Any chance you could add this to the modules directory? There's a nice list here that's always growing: http://modules.processwire.com/categories/language-pack/ Never mind, you did already: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/process-wire-greek-language/

If you would like to add this to the modules directory I can add your Module Developer badge over at the dev directory.

I made it a row at the end of the profile as a temporary measure I think it could be confusing otherwise as I expect a photo with a link on it to open a larger version of the image or, at most, the website of the developer in this case. If we add several ways to get in touch with a developer (I'm thinking Twitter, LinkedIn and others) there would be some nice icons to click on and it would be trivial to make the first one be a speech bubbles icon and link to the forums using that one. @felix - I will get back to you later today - I have to do some other stuff first. @pideluxe - you are not alone with some of these thoughts. I think EllisLab have some nice categories - what I don't want to do is stray too far from what you can offer that relates to a website built with ProcessWire (Expression Engine's dev directory has a myriad of categories for example that I don't think all apply to their product) but many of those look good to be honest. I agree with you - budget is something I wanted to steer well clear of. I would rather clients (and devs looking for other devs/designers with PW experience) approach developers based on what they see of someone's work/services than only contact the dev with the lowest prices - it is nonsense to do this as, as you say, every project is different and the dev knows best what their time/skills on a particular project should cost. It is likely that we would look at the larger ideas further when thinking about a future version of the ProcessWire site as a whole, so some things will take a while. I do aim to add a few more things over coming weeks to the directory in terms of more fields you can fill out, but I didn't want to add too many options to begin with though as the more options you offer the more you have to check during the approval process - and I had no idea how long that was going to take to begin wtih Thanks to everyone for the feedback so far - keep it coming.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted profiles so far. As a special bonus, you can go to the main directory page each day tiles photos/logos behind the top button will display up to 39 random developers each day. There is some repetition now as we have less than 39 approved, but it keeps things interesting. It's just some code that loads random dev images and creates a background image using GD on a CRON job at about 5am (Eastern time? not sure what the server is set to) in case anyone was wondering.

I just saw this when approving your entry in the Developer's Directory - nice work Would you like to add it to the Modules Directory? There is a category for site profiles and you can link it to your GitHub page for the project so it will get seen by more people browsing the directory. Plus I can then list you as a module author in the Developer Directory (I can only do this if your module is in the official directory though).

Craig - you've got mail.

Sorry - missed one reference to the offending function. Third time's a charm?

Hmm... sorry about this guys - please try again. Seems to only affect new profiles but I've removed the offending line of code (it is confusing as to why it works for existing profiles and not new ones but it wasn't a completely necessary line, just had to hardcode some field names).

Mats - can you try now please?

I'm happy to announce that the official ProcessWire Developer Directory has been launched at http://directory.processwire.com It comprises a developer list and a map and is designed to allow anyone developing with ProcessWire to find each other. It also allows potential clients to find developers as well as illustrating how widely ProcessWire is used worldwide. The developer list displays in random order so as not to favour any one developer and is currently quite short, but it should grow nicely as you create your own profiles. The login process is linked to your ProcessWire forum account so the same details you use to login here will allow you to get started. There is a manual approval process as well as some rules so that we can ensure that the directory contains quality content and is free of spam. As a minimum, developers must have 10 posts here on the forums before they can login and post a profile, however after that there are relatively few restrictions - as long as you follow the guidelines on the Profile form and abide by the Terms and Conditions (a condition of submitting a profile) you will be fine. You may notice small icons/badges next to some developers - these are designed to recognise special contributions to the ProcessWire project and are awarded by staff as part of the approval process. Whilst checking each entry's content we cross-check against forum profiles, the modules directory and other sources to determine which badges apply to a developer. There are plans for more features over time which you can be notified about by checking the box at the end of the profile form. I look forward to seeing your profiles soon!

I use a variation on some mysqldump commands and zip commands via cron to backup daily to a folder on each site's account, then have a scheduled script on my NAS download the backups each night. I could do with improving it so it sends reports if it couldn't find a backup file but that's an easy enough thing to check. I'm sure I could use the programs on my Synology to then backup to the cloud if I wanted to. Of course if I had hosting at two different webhosts it would all be quicker to transfer backups between them but there's something reassuring about having a backup on a local device

I think it might well be - so many of the other online services charge too much for small shops or take a cut somewhere else so I can only applaud that they are instead making money through addon modules that you can buy by choice (unless they've crippled the basic functionality but I doubt it).

Would happily sell someone my 412+ and upgrade - the only thing the 412+ is a little slow on sometimes is streaming via Plex but it's capable other than that. The 415+ has double the CPU and RAM so that could make all the difference.

Because you're the one doing all the talki... err... the one in charge

Indeed. Apple doesn't make displays with built-in eyeballs no matter what the marketing guys say. Yet

I know there are mixed views on what should be core and what shouldn't, but I am thinking an option to install this during installation wouldn't be a terrible idea - you know, as long as the major pages are all covered with tutorials (And on that subject a few more things during install that could be optional too, but I digress). This is useful for everyone but definitely new PW users (admins) to get an idea of what things do.

I'm on a DS412+ with 3x 4TB WD RED drives in it. A little annoyed that WD RED are now 6TB and I could have more space if I buy some of those, but whilst I've still got one bay spare and a lot of space left in this RAID configuration I have no need to upgrade - I just like the idea of having even more space I've not really tried to run it as a server but I'm sure it could, albeit a bit underpowered. What I'd really like to see is one of their smaller units with a punchier CPU and more RAM. That said, it's good enough to stream movies to a smart TV using PLEX (worth a look for those with media collections) without transcoding or buffering - even with large blu-ray files, though it will depend on your TV's ability to read MKV files or other similar uncompressed formats (I know that's not their technical term, but a good way to describe them). I use TeamViewer quite a bit which is similar. Helpful for diagnosing issues customers run into like email config issues or those times when a customercan see an issue but you can't replicate it. TeamViewer also lets you keep contact lists so you don't have to remember the login details every time - just prompt the customer to let you on to their machine and you're away. (I said "customer" instead of "client" there to avoid confusion with software clients ). I have also, on occasion, used it on a laptop when I needed to check something on my PC at home, though that only works if my wife turns the PC on since I always shut it down. You can set that up for unattended access via a password so on the off-chance you did leave the PC on it's just a few clicks away from wherever you are. But yes, with cloud storage there isn't usually much need. With web access to your Synology also a possibility it's like having your very own Google drive but without Google

I've just taken delivery of an M.2 drive (as big as my finger and twice as fast as normal SSDS so will report back with my experiences. I can't keep it myself unfortunately because it's for a project.
