  1. I thought of "wired", but I suspect that that may be taken. Slightly. Just a bit I'll put my thinking-cap on Sadly someone's got on Processwired.com... it's like they knew we'd reach that conclusion
  2. ryan, a thousand times +1 for something like that Director-ee I know you're not talking about specifics, but I'm not sure about paying 30 to list a job as per that site. I kind of see what they're trying to do there, but it seems a bit steep just to put off "time-wasters" (which is pretty subjective - some people's needs can be very small). Also their skills matrix doesn't really work when there are apparently over 500 people in the directory who can do EVERYTHING on the skills matrix and are available to work immediately - even just being that talented to be able to do all those things is unlikely. I like the idea of it though, but maybe have a trimmed down version and have people pick a set number of specialisms? Not sure how you could do it and have it so people don't just tick all the boxes to get an enquiry. I love the idea of that directory though - can anyone think of a similarly amusing name? @Gazley - I'm doing all new websites in ProcessWire and have converted a large one and some smaller ones to it. I've used MODx before I got into PW last year, and various others including some home-grown before then but this is really a dream come true. Development times are so much shorter, but I tend to shoot myself in the foot a bit by making improvements elsewhere with the spare time, not that that's bad as occasionally I'll release a module or two when something pops into my head The only time I wouldn't is for certain e-commerce sites, but for literally EVERYTHING else web-facing I've always been able to confidently say that ProcessWire fits my needs - so far at least.
  3. I'm on there right now. Oooooh, this takes me back.
  4. Hi Tim - feel free to ask away. This is a good starting point if you haven't already read it: Other than that, the default installation can actually be quite helpful if you have a look through the templates - certainly the head.inc file has some good stuff in there for fetching data and iterating through it. It might be worth getting the latest download as well because the core files have changed a little over the past few months.
  5. I'm interested in this idea as we have a few UK users too. In terms of a list of developers for each country/region with what they can do then as long as people are honest about their abilities then that's fine. I was thinking what you don't want is a current client to look somewhere else, but then I thought "why shouldn't they be able to shop around?" and then that was okay again in my mind. To be honest, it's only usually an issue with new clients seeking reassurance anyway as current clients are usually happy to trust your judgement. I like the idea of local "marketing sites" - do you have more details about what you're putting on there Antti? Will you be listing Finnish devs on their too as an additional "these are the companies that work with ProcessWire in Finland" sort of list?
  6. That's awesome ryan - looks pretty simple!
  7. I think you would need some user registration at the end as you will need to tie uploaded photos with contact details at some point, but you don't have to I suppose - it might be helpful to have a login for when they use the service again though. It is certainly all possible, but I don't think a module would be the way to go as it is all possible without one. I think a page for each new batch of uploads would be sensible, with a repeater field storing information for each image - fields would be Image, Print Size, Copies and Cost (in case the costs change over time it can help to store the cost with the order). Then when they've uploaded all the images through a front-end form, you could collect their contact details and address and either have these as additional fields in the User template (so they can log in to check their order progress or come back and use the service again) or if you don't want the user login just store their details as pages and link the customer details page to the order page. I think the hardest part would just be building the form on the website - you will want a good HTML5 Uploader with Flash fallback to support older browsers and will need to work out the other steps too. It's all pretty easy to do in ProcessWire I would say, but since you are looking at something reasonably complicated (a few day's work) and not a module then you would need to pay someone for this. EDIT: How does the customer pay for the prints? I didn't see that anywhere on the example site you linked to. It would be easier if they paid when they collect the prints from the shop, unless this is a 100% online service.
  8. I was literally just looking up how to change the quality and came across this topic when searching - I know I've read it before but now I have reason to leave a comment. +1 for the options array - sounds like it could be really useful in places, and definitely having it available in the template code makes the most sense so you're not blanket-assigning it to a field used all over the place - well thought out once again ryan
  9. I can't see the attached images. One thing to try after moving is to delete anything in the assets/cache folder which may help with some of this.
  10. Please don't double-post as there are a lot of us reading all of the topics and posts on the forums - I see you've also asked this here: http://processwire.c...undcloud-embed/ which is where it will likely be answered if anyone can answer it.
  11. For 2, make sure you're editing your template of course. This is also covered in the 10 minute intro video on the homepage of this website which is well worth watching, despite showing a slightly older version of the software.
  12. Is that a real beer sold by a real scary barkeep near you WillyC?
  13. Oh my word that avatar is awesome! Took my brain a while to get it though!
  14. In all seriousness, you wouldn't want support tickets without some sort of paid support system otherwise you end up answering the same old questions but just behind closed doors where nobody can see them. Business Class support isn't a bad idea though for folks who are making a living off building websites and need that level of support.
  15. There should be an option to attach a file to a post in the forums - that wil allow you to attach the image.
  16. This should give you the answers - its worth reading it all, but specifically steps 4-6 are what you're after:
  17. @Adam I did think the same thing - coining new phrases when most of it is common sense and achievable already. It sounds really like you could achieve the same results with ProcessWire. The majority of it is a case of ProcessWire being your CMS (level 1), the client, designer and developer working out a good structure and easy to use desgn, some newsletter signups for things like MailChimp which are easy enough to do (level 2) and then level 3 is mostly Google Analytics to be honest. The bit at the end of the video is quite cool, and would be possible to code for ProcessWire definitely, but I would question whether most people need it. It depends greatly on what your business is as to whether you need that much information about your visitors' every move.
  18. What I would do is set up a page called Client Area or something like that, and then for each child page immediately below that use a Page fieldtype that allows you to select the user that can access that page. This way, in the Client Area page itself you can restrict it to only show pages for a specific logged-in user and stick the rest of their content under the relevant page. I would have a custom login form on the Client Area page that then simply redirects them to the right child page on successful login. It would also have some logic so that they can't jus force their way into another user's content. It does depend a bit on the structure you want to give for each user but the sky's the limit with ProcessWire. I can't go into more detail as I'm typing this on my phone, but that is one option that would be relatively straightforward if someone else comes along and fills in some of the blanks (I'm sure someone will, they're good like that).

    Icon Sets

    I'm always keeping an eye out for new icons, but for interface design I've relied heavily on Yusuke Kamiyamane's Fugue icon set. I think I first found the set back when there were "only" around 2,000 icons in the set, and now there are over 3,400 and counting. A couple of intranet projects have benefitted from this set, and the one-off price tag is quite reasonable for the amount of icons, including their .PSD source files and variants. Does anyone else have sets that they'd care to share? I know there are tonnes out there, but the real gems are hard to find in amongst the rest.
  20. jQuery UI also means you can roll your own themes very easily.
  21. It's alright I suppose On a serious note, it's definitely a good thing that I can think of half a dozen uses for it already, so good work!

    ProcessWire on the web

    I agree with that guy's generalisations - frameworks are always bad. I hate saving tonnes of time and love reinventing the wheel on a daily basis because I have nothing better to do and love watching the years fly by.
  23. That said, it's not difficult to set up a MySQL database.
  24. ryan - can I request that more fields be searchable? For example: searching for "CSV" returns nothing, but I think it should return the Process Data Import module since it's in the summary text. assuming that that might be because of the 3 character limit on some search selectors, you would think that "ProcessDataImport" which is the class name would return a result also, but it only seems to search the title field which has spaces in between the words. In some cases the class name is quite different to the module title in the directory I think that's all I spotted... for now
  25. The footer link to "download our brochure" doesn't seem to do anything.
