Pete

Here you go guys: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/2387-the-structure-of-fields-and-templates/?p=22762 (found via a link halfway down this article: http://www.flamingruby.com/blog/anatomy-of-fields-in-processwire/ ) I know ryan has explained this several times over the years but I agree that as one of the real "what the heck?" points that come up when you're first exploring ProcessWire some page dedicated to it on the site and linked to wherever fields are mentioned might not be a bad idea

Hi guys I'm trying to incorporate a third-party script into a module by bootstrapping it. The problem is that it also uses $session so PW overrides it. Is there any way to merge the two $sessions or somehow run functions before PWs session comes into play? I suspect this one won't be particularly easy because before PWs session is invoked it won't know who you are

You'll have to tell us what your selector was or we can't help

There's a reason it's called "Foundation" There are building blocks and you're supposed to pick and choose and alter to suit your site. I'll just pick up on a few of those points: buttons - you can change the size and padding - you're supposed to if you want to font icons - that's subjective. Depends what your needs are on any given site, but I tend to lean on FontAwesome a lot or use Fontello if I want a tailored package of icon fonts from a variety of sources off canvas - it's not designed to go full-width. It's for things like sneaking a nav menu on at smaller screen sizes, so it does what it's designed to do None of these frameworks are likely perfect for what you (or anyone) want out of the box - they're building blocks to give you a head-start. I suspect if you are having to change so much it's taking up a huge amount of time that you might be better off with a very simple responsive grid stylesheet (plenty mentioned in the forums) and build your other styles and hand-pick jQuery widgets yourself. There has to be a point where you step back and realise it's taking too long and then move on from that with something different or home-brewed and it sounds like you may have arrived at that point I think they have succeeded anyway because there are many thousands of sites using it and when your CSS/JS framework ends up on Themeforest... well... lots of sales based on thousands of people buying pre-made Foundation themes.

I need to make this a real thing - nobody would dare leave their avatar blank

The answer is yes to everything with a little learning. Custom fields are what Processwire is all about so don't worry about your custom post types - that's covered

I liked the nav too. If you ask a room full of people what they think there will always be a difference of opinion. You don't have to change things people have suggested of course but you may find you get more suggestions here than other places

Lovely site - simple and elegant. Glad your client likes the system too!

Whilst I have no experience with Craft I hear a lot of good things about it and I'm glad of your other two choices. Continue to buck the trend and not mention the "popular" ones

Which caching method are you using? If it's ProCache then PHP and mySQL aren't available so AJAX is the only alternative there.

Western heroes are barely undercover Ivan - they're just surrounded by idiots who can't tell their friend from a superhero despite the disguise being just a pair of glasses or a bandana

I look like the world's weirdest burglar now. Brrrrr... it's cold out guv'ner!

Three words: New. Homepage. Video.

At the end of the day it comes down to skills, budget and what the client wants

Nothing quite that alarming, no.

Days at most - I don't recognise my own posts any more! I should start off with a blank-ish one and add something new to it every week. Mr Pete-ato head

If it's just a personal project that I just want to get out there, then sometimes I will use a pre-made template, but for clients I make something different each time. It does depend on skills, budget and timescales as well as whether or not the customer minds if you use a template that could be being used hundreds of times elsewhere. For a head-start I use http://getuikit.com/ (have used Foundation as well) but I tend to have an idea of where I want to take it from those basic starting blocks. I am by no means an awesome designer though

Have fun, it sounds like you are already

I always thought in your pic you were terrified of being pixellated from the bottom-left corner

Hi Mike - does this help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17863112/ckeditor-move-skins-folder-somewhere-else ? I think that link is saying that using just / instead of using all those ../ will get you to the root of your site so maybe something like /site/modules/InputfieldCKEditor/skins/office2013 would work.

Yup - horst's solution or an autoload module would work, but I think his would be easier, quicker and upgrade-proof since config.php doesn't get altered during upgrades and has to be included whatever you're doing in ProcessWire.

Am I being boring too Maybe I need to switch back to the one with the fluffy scarf for a bit. With the hat so I can be more like Martijn. Better now? EDIT: Yes, we are all slightly crazy. Welcome to the internet

That's a rather encouraging list actually Peter, since workflow has come up as a bit of a hot topic recently and the rest aren't all that surprising I think. Certainly, most of those are already there in one form or another and would be adaptable for more complex team scenarios with a little work where necessary. A lot of requirements on the local government (or even national) side are exactly the same, but government are more likely to take into account the fact that it's free than Enterprise customers, though often arriving at polarised views - "Open Source? That sounds scary" versus "So it's free and we can do anything with the source code you say?" Custom dashboards is an interesting one because what that really needsin my opinion is for one Dashboard module that other modules can have a predictable function to output to the dashboard in some way. I can see how it would work, and it would work quite well, but it is also the least important on the list I think, though people are often persuaded by shiny things in my experience, especially if they're managers who just want reports at the touch of a button

Just realised the title of this topic should have been "people's choice" as the critic's choice entries are completely different and you could only nominate a system for these as of the 3rd september. So... go and nominate ProcessWire: http://awards.cmscritic.com/nominate/ I think the Critic's Choice ones are likely to be fairer as they're not based on sheer numbers. I just wrote what I hope is a compelling entry, so get submitting guys
