pwired

Wordpress is well known for it's "so easy to use" Unfortunately there is a downside of "out of the box" - - "click and plug" - - "no experience needed" If a system is so easy to use then a lot of users will never take the time and effort to study and learn more about the system. This of course leads sooner or later to wrong use of the system resulting in loss of data, config errors, bad maintenance, etc. CodeGuard backupservice did a poll with 500 Wordpress users: 54 % updates every week of every couple of weeks. 24 % makes a backup 23 % followed a training to learn how to use a backup plugin. Wordpress Business users who were in the poll: 44 % who use Wordpress for a business site don't have a webmaster or an IT worker 22 % never had any training in how to use Wordpress 63 % have deleted sometimes a file for which was not a backup 21 % make backups every now and then 22 % think that backups are not important Source: http://www.zdnet.be/nieuws/161373/wordpress-sites-in-gevaar-door-onwetende-gebruikers/

Text and content will stay the same but design needs to be renewed.

A client asked me what will happen with his page rank in Google if I migrate his old website made with Joomla CMS to Processwire CMS ? Anyone know more about this ?

No problem because you are a fast learner Besides Foxy Cart you can have a look at Open Cart. It's open source and I am using it with great results. It is stable, easy for both coder and end user and many extensions available.

2 million+ pages ?? Where did those come from ? Why not write a database script that deletes those empty fields directly in the database.

You guys have good points: let the customer do it (martijn) and if that is not the case then put it in a statement (mike) and text changes/improvements afterwards are going to be charged (gebeer)

Hi, Almost finished a website but had some real arguements with the client about his text. There were some clear mistakes in both word use and translation. In the end it had to be done the way the client wanted it, no matter mistakes, or wrong translations. To avoid this in the future, next time I want to put things like this on paper before I start doing a website to have it clear black on white who has end responsability. How are you guys dealing with these matters ?

Thanks for the link, will be home in an hour and get into it.

Ok thanks, yes I am simply not used to use fields so extensively but it makes sense to use a separate field for each word or menu item. I don't quite follow your code (yet) <?php echo __("Name"); ?> why the long underscore __ and is ("Name") referring to a variable ?

Hi What is the best way to pull in multi language words. What do I mean by this, we'll let's take for example a form. The words that stand above the entry fields are for example: Your name, Your email address Home address, etc. etc. In multi language that means also Deine Name, Deine Email-Adress, - - - - or Nombre, Direccion de correo, etc. etc. At this moment I setup a field with property multi language and then fill in all the words in all the languages that I need to put above the entry fields of a form. Then thanks to the open flexibility of processwire I can use any php solution to pull the words from the field and output them where I need. I use a simple php explode and then use array elements to output the right words in the right places. Here an example for multi language words in a horizontal menu bar: <?php $temp = $pages->get("/top-navigation/"); $words = $temp->top_navigation; $nav = explode(",", $words); ?> <div class="navbar block"> <a href="<?=$pages->get("/")->url ?>"><?php echo $nav[0]; ?></a> <a href="<?=$pages->get("/mein-weg/")->url ?>"><?php echo $nav[1]; ?></a> <a href="<?=$pages->get("/berufe/")->url ?>"><?php echo $nav[2]; ?></a> <a href="<?=$pages->get("/ausbildungen/")->url ?>"><?php echo $nav[3]; ?></a> <a href="<?=$pages->get("/geistiges/")->url ?>"><?php echo $nav[4]; ?></a> <a href="<?=$pages->get("/heilsitzungen/")->url ?>"><?php echo $nav[5]; ?></a> </div> Now this is working ok but I was wondering how you guys are doing these things and if I am missing a feature in processwire that could do this more easy ?

That is very interesting work you did there. I love to see processwire together with nginx. What hosting company are you using ?

I vote for that. For expansions, we should concentrate on api, php, modules and tuto's, not the core. At least that's what I hope for the future.

Hi, Is the simple contact form working with multi-language setup ? If not, what do I have to do on the contact form templates ? http://modules.processwire.com/modules/simple-contact-form/

Processwire is not the usual cms but more like an engine, so, the future of processwire is you, how you are going to use it.

Hi I always had good success with adminer and bigdump. However last months I have trouble getting connections with databases. Is there anyone who is using these tools and having the same problems ?

Thanks !

Hi I need to unpack a file.tar.gz on my host. However my host only unpacks .zip files and I can not use exec() like in: <?php exec('tar -xzf file.tar.gz',$ret); ?> Does anyone know a good standalone php script that will let me unpack a .tar.gz file on a host ?

Technically there is no reason why whitespaces are not allowed in passwords. There are however a few case where whitespaces cause trouble and therefore are simply not allowed: 1. unintentionally whitespace at the beginning or ending of a password 2. charset issues

Ok glad you fixed it, it's not easy is it to stay compatible with all those different browsers out there. Had recently a problem my self with html5 audio and video tags. Those html5 players all look different on different browsers.

Are you editing online on the server, or local ? Check if the same problem is there when editing locally and online. Check what happens with another browser. I have read somewhere that you can re-install TinyMCE so that would be an easy option. (if ckeditor really is the problem) There's more of them: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/fredi/ http://modules.processwire.com/modules/inputfield-ace-editor/

Is the client going to use the editor when the website is finished ? If not, why bother, you only need it for entering text, not editing. You edit all you want in your css. Check if you don't have too many processes running in the background on your pc, one of them might have focus on the editor window and cause interference.

What about installing opencart and processwire in the same database, maybe that would make things easier ?

There are a lot of ex modx'ers in here. Does anyone know what happened with modx v.3 ? It was going to merge the best of both evo and revo and was to be released in 2013. http://modx.com/blog/2012/05/25/clarity-focus-and-simplicity/ Then I read this: https://twitter.com/fenton49/status/302791520380141568

Welcome to processwire. Let's face it, without offense, but wordpress has been quite a few times in the news, and recently is, about it's plugins being exploited and has millions of hacked wordpress sites. That must give you something to think about. Secondly with processwire you don't have to learn your way around a new system that: "let you" make websites. With processwire you are going to make websites directly from the core. That means that all the experience you already have learned in the past with html, css, php, etc. you can start using directly with processwire and make a website in any way you would like to see it. 2k visitors, 6K pages daily won't be any problem because Processwire has been made scalable from the ground up. About templates that is where Processwire really shines because you can literally make your own templates both in the backend (admin) and in the frontend. About markdown editor, here are some good reads: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/4213-markdown/ http://modules.processwire.com/categories/textformatter/ http://wiki.processwire.com/index.php/Text_Formatters Open this page: https://processwire.com/api/multi-language-support/multi-language-urls/ and read the part where it says: Changing the rich text editor About upgrading processwire in the future: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/52-how-do-i-upgrade-processwire-to-the-latest-version/ About making your right choice, no fanboy talk here but from my own (and others) experience if you compare processwire with the "popular" big 3 out there, processwire is going to save you a lot of time and headache. Isn't that what we all seek over "popularity" ? In processwire a lot of practical functionality is already included, no need for those to plugin afterwards e.g. you will have multi-language out of the box. Don't forget browsing the processwire api and the modules: https://processwire.com/api/ https://processwire.com/api/fieldtypes/images/ https://processwire.com/api/variables/templates/ https://processwire.com/api/variables/fields/ http://modules.processwire.com/

Actually you can find answers on the opencart forum http://forum.opencart.com/ Also if you search with google you will find many sites and tutos dedicated to help opencart users. Latest version of opencart is a major step forward in clear and functional design. It has also been made responsive. You can find tons of modules and extensions for opencart. And last but not least, under the hood opencart looks very familiar to processwire. That's why I like it so much.
