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.

VPN for me for some years now with a Web host. Have got a 4 bay Synology that I've burned all my DVDs to (finally legal to make backups in the UK) but also it is configured to download backups from the VPS overnight. It can also be run as a Web server but I've always just used WAMP (found it better than XAMPP) on my local machine for development.

Good work on helping out of course - I was more thinking out loud. I think having just read up on it quickly it doesn't seem to matter much - see the final reply to the chosen answer here (which disagrees with that answer): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9734970/better-seo-to-remove-stop-words-from-an-articles-url-slug as well as the comment further down about the fact that StackOverflow don't do it. Having checked that, nor do Slashdot and some other big sites. In fact most search results about stopwords seem to relate to Wordpress plugins rather than anything official from Google saying it makes any difference. I think it's one of those things that may have mattered in the past but not so much now. There are certainly some respectable SEO companies out there who aren't removing the stopwords from their own website URLs either. But please don't take my word for it - as I say I was just thinking out loud and know very little about the subject so if someone finds a definitive answer somewhere from Google themselves then please do share as the short research I did wasn't really conclusive.

This is interesting because I was approaching some advnced automatic naming behind the scenes only last night during the page save process (so ignoring giving the visual indicator this will on the edit page) but in my case that was find because those pages needed no user control over the page names. Very nice idea and keeps URLs shorter but I'm not sure it makes a difference to SEO any more to be honest, though I am no expert. Still, ProcessWire is all about providing the tools that in turn can provide more options so good work

If it's only for one role try removing the asterisk for an exact match. Might not be that easy but fingers crossed! Ah, erm... Not sure on that one. Are you sure you filled out required fields? Any other custom fields?

Been using fullcalendar myself in a project in November so can recommend that but obviously some work required to store events in Processwire and output them to fullcalendar until a module exists. It did feel good not to rely on another service for the calebdar data though!

I think there's some confusion with the BIOS. If you build your own it's almost always accessible with the DEL key. If you buy a PC off the shelf from a leading supplier then the key to get into the BIOS depends on the manufacturer, the year, the alignment of the stars and what the BIOS programmer ate for lunch that day. Either F12, F10, F9 or F8 mashed repeatedly in my experience gets you in then

Feel free to stick your name in with mine in the author attribute on the module too if you haven't already done so.

I didn't leave Wordpress but have migrated away from one site, upgraded (and instantly broke due to plugins) another and am pushing to migrate a third. An issue I have run into with the third is that the client understands the security implications but cannot afford to migrate the site yet despite being on an older version. Interestingly I did see Google flag at least one Wordpress site that had been hacked with a security warning in bold red letters in a search result. I can only applaud them for this and suggest they start adding amber warnings for sites not hacked yet but that pose a security risk if you hand over any data to them. Easy enough with most systems where you can determine their version I think but would probably go down like a lead balloon with many people.

Ah, well Windows 10 will have windowed Metro apps on the desktop but that would be a silly reason to upgrade on its own

No worries - if you have any other questions let us know.

I would ask them - I have also seen other hosts without ifmodule support but not in a long time so suspect it might be an older version of Apache maybe or just a feature that isn't switched on on the server.

Take out the ifmodule? It just checks if the module exists so if you think it does then that line can be removed along with the closing /ifmodule

Should see same speed increases irrelevant of OS and I would assume by now compatibility with all OS's.

I don't think it's possible to just have admin under yoursite.com since the homepage must always be at yoursite.com/ and it is not able to delete it. Also admin page cannot be deleted. What I have done on one intranet site is renamed the admin page so pages are available under yoursite.com/app/ which I think is better. It's not perfect but yoursite.com/app/your-page/ is cleaner in your scenario than yoursite.com/processwire/your-page/

Hi Adrian Thanks for all your work on this. I've added you as a collaborator on my repo so I think you might be able to merge changes into the main repo yourself if you like? I certainly don't see a problem with anything you've added (aside from me not having tried any of the new things out yet ) so happy for it all to be merged.

Get minesweeper from the store - new and updated

Mine is working 7 seconds into Windows fine Another note is that it is worth upgrading the firmware when you get one. Not a lot of people know there is also firmware for normal hard drives that can sometimes improve performance or fix potential issues. What I would say though is do this before you put anything on the drive just in case. If you only have a laptop with no spare HDD slot and want to update the firmware, or even if you just have a bunch of old HDDs laying around and you can't remember what's on them, there are plenty of ways to get external access to internal hard drives too. Something like this will save some hassle: http://www.shop.bt.com/products/icybox-docking-station-for-2-5--and-3-5--sata-hdds-white-78GG.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc%20product%20search&utm_campaign=PLA%20 though there are cheaper things on eBay with a spider's web of cables (I prefer these docking stations personally and the shiny Aluminium ICY Box ones look nice left on your desk). Even at USB3 those docks won't be as fast as SATA III but they are still fast enough for most requirements.
