That's what we were talking about with the site directory

Perhaps there could be a FormBuilder form set up to begin collecting these before the Site Directory is built? Seems like a case of setting up the form and then using the publish to page option here:

Can I just say that if ever there is a book written about how to use ProcessWire, this should be the foreword - it's perfect! I did fail to read it in the suggested accent and read it in an Austrian Arnold Schwarzenegger accent - it was amazing (like this - http://bit.ly/c7op9H ).

diogo - I love opening that one in my browser then resizing it smaller. They've got a lovely effect when it has to switch between the larger images and the mobile ones - it seems to load a little loading icon then brings up the smaller images. I'm going to snoop around the source code Probably the nicest looking example I've seen of responsive design.

I think that whilst on the surface this sounds a bit like a coding headache I can see various different workflows working for different scenarios. The way I think that this would work best is with either a matrix permssions module (a bit old-school) or a visual workflow permissions editor so you can really tailor the permissions and approvals based on your own way of working. What I mean by that last bit is a bit like how Lemonstand e-commerce handles discounts - you set the conditions (in this case I guess which parent in the tree you want this to apply to the children of) and what happens when certain conditions are met. Here's a quick example of Lemonstand's system - don't bother reading it all but look at the screenshots for a rough idea of how you set these things up: http://lemonstand.com/docs/shopping_cart_price_rules/ Obviously the PW version could be done easily with an ASMSelect menu to select the parent or a certain page template or a custom Selector. Just thinking out loud.

Nice one!

Love it. The clouds don't move for me in Chrome or Firefox on Windows 8 but they do in Safari... albeit very jerkily! Whether they move or not isn't essential though since it's the content that counts and the focus should be on the screenshots. I'm seeing both sides of the argument (not that anyone's arguing) on having the Futura admin theme on the homepage - I wonder if these three areas should be some sort of slideshow instead? Perhaps the middle panel could start out as the default admin theme - if only to match the colours - and then fade through? It's a tricky one as all the shots show off the admin or a module, but I wonder if somehow it needs to show what you can create with ProcessWire too as Tripsite and VillaRental from your site sold me on ProcessWire ryan!

There have actually been talks of a non-Mediawiki documentation section for the PW site, more because Mediawiki is a pain to administrate and upgrade and is easily spammed. I think the biggest hurdle to overcome is that I can't see it working without version control for the pages if you are allowing anyone to edit pages. It would be nice to be able to roll back spam edits or even have the ability for certain people to approve changes to some sections I think.

I always check Fontsquirrel first as it has a lot of good free fonts. Failing that I check some of the others linked to above but if I have a specific font in mind that's not on any of those sites I'll buy the @font-face kit from myfonts.com

Pass as to why those links don't work by the way ryan - no matter what I do to them it doesn't format properly

Regular expressions are like a different language to me I'm much more comfortable with regular espresso's You threw this in to trip people up right? This sounds made up (but I'm certain it isn't ).

Well I've made a start on one for real estate (a slow start) and already come to the realisation that needs for this profile in the UK and USA will be different as well as in other countries. The good thing is though that we're not talking about a module or a plugin from some other system - it's just fields and templates for now - so as long as I comment the relevant areas properly it's easier than any other system to alter the fields and customise it all.

I like the fact that ProcessWire is attracting creative people who have skills other than web design and programming (not that there's anything wrong with us who fall into that category) - I mean it all helps in that it brings together people with different views, approaches and suggestions which can't be bad. Nice site - good job on the graphics as I'd be hard pressed to create anything like that myself, and I'll refrain from mentioning a spell checker until I check my own site

And by "unlearn" he means forget about the bad/hard way you used to do things

This page should help - it explains where the default templates are and how it works: http://processwire.com/api/templates/ Let us know if you need more help, by essentially if you split your template into header and footer areas and put that code into the head and foot files (see above link - those files are in the templates folder it mentions) and the middle of your template will depend on the page template (home, basic-page etc but these are the two main ones) so that code will differ from template to template. Essentially the link above gives you the basics but there is a topic titled "Small Project Walkthrough" in the Tutorials forum that may also be of help.

Hi there This page explains how ProcessWire's front-end templates work (what your site looks like): http://processwire.com/api/templates/ If you meant changing how the admin area works then click on te Modules link at the very top of this page and there is a section in the Modules directory just for admin themes. You will have to have some basic HTML knowledge in order to change the look of your front-end templates but as many people here can confirm you don't have to have much/any PHP knowledge to get started - just a willingness to learn the basics

I like this topic I had a similar grumble recently where I swore never to use Wordpress again and it was for slightly different reasons, but the end result was that it took me 2 minutes to install a certain module but then literally 2 days to work out what was conflicting and then make horrendously different stylesheets work together. I've done a lot f websites in that price range mentioned earlier. If it's a simple brochure-style site with homepage, services, gallery, testimonials and contact page then it's easy enough to build in PW to that budget and in that timescale. Once you've built a gallery and testimonials system (both just a bunch of sub-pages, so the work is displaying them in the template file so they look pretty) you've then got code to use elsewhere with minimal tweaks. The problem does come with larger requirements. I would be hard-pressed to get all the fields and search functionality of an estate agent (real estate) website set up so quickly so that could well come down to building it te first time and creating a profile afterwards for future sites but I would certainly need to take more time over it and charge the client more. It would definitely be worth it though! As mentioned in another thread the only problem I have then if it's something relatively complicated like that is that I'd be inclined to keep the code for myself or at least charge a small fee for the profile as otherwise you run into a slight problem of anyone with basic knowledge can easily install a full-blown estate agent website and you can end up with those relatively tech-savvy clients just playing companies off against each other for the cheapest implementation - a game I don't want to play. I'm probably just thinking the worst because I have a slight headache and that makes me grumpy - there certainly aren't thousands of people in the UK yet that know about ProcessWire so we'd hardly be stepping on each others toes, plus when I start thinking about this I think about that free Shop module and it makes me feel bad Putting my business hat back on, if I built an amazing site profile for estate agents and sold it for £20 (random figure), would people buy it? I think as ProcessWire has evolved there are the beginnings of a profitable ecosystem for module/profile authors where something is complex enough to warrant a fee that is reasonable and web developers don mind paying for to save many hours of work, but as with all these things it falls down the minute someone develops a similar module/profile and gives it away for free Sorry, I went off on a wild tangent there...

It is all possible to do in PW of course, especially with the right image library on your server (Image Magic will do more than GD and is install able on most servers) but that will be a longer-term solution as someone will have to write that module (preferably detect Image Magic and if its not there fall back to a lesser feature set using GD2). It would be an awesome module though!

My mind is now officially blown. I'm sure I might even understand it more thoroughly when I've had some sleep

Holy crap - cool module but also this is the first I heard of AngularJS and their demos on the project's homepage are pretty cool!

From what I can gather from the video in my previous post, no data seems to be stored locally - it all comes from these central feeds on the fly which is interesting, but if it were me I'd love to see stats like who clicked through on which property and I assume there's data on which property belongs to which real estate company. The whole point seems to be that there's a central feed of data from various Estate Agents (to use the UK term ) and as an agent yourself you get paid commission somehow from listing other agent's data. I can't wrap my head around it just now but it's getting late so it might all click tomorrow, but if there's no local stored data and we're talking about pulling in data from an external source and simply formatting it against a template then this is ridiculously easy and technically you wouldn't need anything as fancy as a CMS even since your own properties would be listed on this central feed (IDX if I'm using the correct acoronym) anyway Of course the advantage of using a CMS like ProcessWire for the rest of your site is obvious, but pulling in these feeds and not storing anything locally means you don't get the benefit of the PW API to easily manipulate the data - you're back to basic PHP. That's not to say that you couldn't create something that lets you manipulate the data in as easy a way as the PW API - I'm sure I saw an example of a module that added on API functionality but can't find the link - it's just that I'm not sure how to do if off-hand. It would certainly be neat to be able to have a module parse this external data and allow you to do something like this in the property list template: <?php foreach ($properties as $property) { echo "<p>Address: $property->address</p>"; echo "<p>Price: $property->price</p>"; echo "<p>" . $property->images->first()->url . "</p>"; } It's easy enough to do this in normal PHP, but in an ideal world the module would present a lovely PW style way of accessing the data The ideal module would allow you to set config settings to the relevant feed URL (assuming all the feeds are supposed to have the same structure) and set up the templates and pages for search results, property details etc. My only worry with this sort of thing is we're in the territory of commercial modules I think - the folks behind the module in the video I linked to make a reasonable amount of money every month by selling that module and whilst it would be nice to blow open whole markets with free modules for all I'm a believer in trying to make a profit from modules like this where there's a huge market (dozens of estate agents in every town/city around the world) and I assume estate agents turn a decent enough profit if they're shifting property at a reasonable rate?

Just tried this on 2.2.10 (dev) and no buttons appear either on local hosting or live site Then I realised it was because I had the CropImage set on that field. There could be cases where you would want to do both (CropImage to control crop aspect ratio) but I guess there's no way to then selectively remove the crop tool from PixlrEditor since it's third-party.

Here we go: http://processwire.c...03-pixlreditor/ I did have have a sneaky suspicion as I was typing that someone might have done this and it turns out I even replied in that thread - my memory is rubbish! Looks like you said you were going to do something there in that last post ryan.

Well I've just watched the video here: http://spotonconnect.com/wordpress-idx/ I'm interested in doing something myself for the UK and the INEA would seem to be my point of contact (they're suggesting the above service). The only thing I'm not sure about Grant is where the data comes from? Surely it#s querying some central web service, but since my plans are at the pre-planning stage () I don't know how it all works - but I'm keen to find out!

I would actually suggest a third-party image editor that could somehow be included as a module. I get the feeling it's been suggested before, but I saw this one recently from some of the Picnik devs (Picnik got snapped up by Google it seems and integrated into Google+) who decided to build their own app and thus we have http://www.picmonkey.com I've seen this in another piece of software and it's pretty neat - basically the picture is sent to the Picmonkey service and you edit it there, save it and it passes the image back to your system - ProcessWire in this case. There's an API to facilitate all of this: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1OhlOYcCvJiV44c13XpDx0HJV3UArKgRya3lq_Ahr5T0 All that said, I'm not sure how you would even begin to go about it, just that a full set of tools via a module would be nice to have even if it does go third-party for the editing process.
