Did you check the video on how to install ampps on ubuntu ?
===========================================================
Devilbox is a scripted development stack with a bunch of daemons.
I tried it but really found it too much of an overkill.Laragon is so easy and convenient for local development.

Have you used any of the open source options that would be a good alternative?

Foolproof way of doing it without any help module
On the old Host:
Always download a complete backup of your website (zipped or tar.gz)
Download the database
Download the site folder (zipped or tar.gz)=====================================================================
On the New Host:
Reinstall Processwire with, if you can, the same processwire version on the new host
After reinstalling processwire, Delete the site folder and Empty the database
Upload the site folder from the old host and unzip on the new host
Import the database from the old host
Empty cache and sessions
Adapt the config.php where necessary to the new host (database credentials, salt and hosts)Thats it
Need any assistance ? PM me.

Add a slideshow to a page, its children are slides, and those can have layers
Creative use of "everything is a page" is always welcome

+1 for using UIKit3. Website looks really good. Why did you chose clickdesk instead of an opensource helpdesk chat ?

LoL why not move over to wysiwyg site builders so clients have all the easy page building they want.

This way you can simply drag the images to the correct order, no need to tweak filenames
Oh my code, I feel quite silly here. How come I have missed this ? Just dragging the images .....
Thanks Teppo

Hi,
Is it possible to change the name of a picture in the backend ? It happens to me that clients want to change the order of pictures in a gallery. Sometimes they want to add a new picture in the middle of a list of pictures, sometimes they want a new picture to be the first one in the list, etc. etc. I usually upload pictures with names like: 001.jpg 002.jpg 003.jpg etc. etc. I haven't seen a possibility in the backend to rename a picture. How do you guys reorder pictures in a gallery ?

Thanks for posting this. Didn't know about that one, looks like a real good alternative.

It saves me time as long as I can work within the constraints.
What do you think?A page builder injects both JavaScript and CSS files => additional loading time.
A page builder doesn`t take image and header tags into consideration => negative impact on SEO.
A page builder injects its own set of shortcodes
Have you seen the code that divi and other page builders are creating ?It happens out there that the coder who has set up the website, in time will not be available
for the client anymore. Would somebody else in the future want to maintain such code ?Reverting might leave you with styling issues as you most likely have to manual delete all shortcodes.
Good luck with that. -

Give https://github.com/cytopia/devilbox a try
Will do that and see what happens
Edit: the terminal commands as shown how to download devilbox don't work for windows (as I already expected)
I leave it for a rainy day

At this stage, the small performance hit might be worth it if it saves me hours messing with configuration.
Laragon is super easy to configure for your needs. Also setting up virtual hosts is very easy. It installes in C:\laragon and works like a portable program.
I would't go for Ampps. It installs in your Windows Programs folder and eats away 600 Mb. The Ampss interface looks the same like a CPanel from your Hoster.
Ampss might be handy though if you want to try out all kinds of packages. It even has a pw install package.

Ok, I just installed Ampps and imported a few website backups and started fiddling around.
I must say that Ampps has a nice interface to work with, but it is clearly slower compared to Laragon.-

Am I right in thinking that Laragon is Windows only?
If you go to the laragon website for downloads there are only windows installations.
There seems to be a Mac project here:-

I use Laragon also. Would be interesting to know which one works faster when using it for website development: Laragon or Ampps.
Lets find out this weekend.-

We are going in circles, pw being much better than wp was not the point, we all know that.

So let's call it a scam as we should not call it web development. Playing dirty tricks is one thing and being honest and helpful is another one.
Big businesses and corporations can easily afford a 60$/hour pro web developer who knows how to code. Or they simply have a webdeveloper working 9 to 5 for them. Economy isn´t what it used to be so you can't really blame small offices/businesses for attracting people who can do it cheap and quick for them. Often these people already have a 9 to 5 job somewhere and want to make extra cash in the evening hours. And when the website is done and once they have cashed in for their work they lose interest and move on. Everything works fine until the day comes that the website needs serious maintenance. That's how it simply goes out there.

Yeah keep on wp trolling, it feels good I know. But lets get real for a change, it's 2018 and not 2010 any more when wp was total crap. Plugins and safety have been improved since then. I know people who deliver websites faster than I do and make more money with wp than I do ! All they do is go to themeforest or envato and search for a cool looking template with forms, mail, client base and the whole shebang for around 50 or 80 dollar. It takes them less then a week to set it up and then sell it somewhere between 500 and 1500 dollar. And clients like the wp admin because it only takes simple mouse clicks for them to edit a wp site with new text, pics or prices. How I found out all this ? Simply because I get called by offices, real estates, photographers, etc. because their webmaster/developer took off, disappeared or they ended up with agreement conflicts. They need somebody to take over. No backups were made for half a year, cpanel access has gone, yearly domain registry has gone, etc. All they have left is the wp-admin login. So the more I got involved the more I started to see what is going on in wp land. The reason why I stick to pw ? Because working with wp dumbs you down to a copy and paster - drag and dropper. Working with pw upgrades your skills and you learn to webcode. But really, when it comes to working hours and making money, wp is the better choice.

What file type was flagged by zap: php, js, html, ... ? How did you rule out false flag or not ?
-
Why does it need to be in the core and not a module ?

Adrian made a good find, 1and1 hosting is quite big, thats a good place for pw publicity.
@ wbmnfktr yes you are right about being off, also in the columns where pw and wp
are compared.-

Hi,
consider your self lucky you have found processwire, you will find out the more you use processwire."no experience with PHP"
When you start to use Processwire you only need to know very basic php like: for each, include, etc.
The more you use Processwire the more you will learn php as you need automatically.
"where can I edit the header and the footer"There is no header or footer included with Processwire.
Processwire is a decoupled system so you can use any html you want like your own hand coded header and footer html
or any html template you can find out there. A simple way to use a header and a footer with Processwire
would be using php include. But better would be to use for example the Processwire delayed output.

Has anyone here used AMPPS?
in Dev Talk
Posted
When using vista or win10 I can understand that. Harddisks have a lot of space these days. Get your self a win7 sp1 partition. It's real stable and safe.
