Teppo: as usual you are communicating from your own professional level to us forum members where we understand you perfectly. Now try again with clients who respond to you like: "What, processwire? Never heard about processwire!" "I want you to do it in wordpress because I know many people who have their website in wordpress" "Why can't you do it in wordpress for me ?" Your technical arguments, no matter how correct they are, have zero effect on the feelings of a client. He is going to respond to you with "yes, yes, yes" making you think it is going to be done in processwire. Only to find out the next day the client has found somebody else to do it for him in wordpress because he feels right about wordpress.

Martijn, I can speak only for my self, because other designers/coders are skilled in more than one cms/cmf and use them mixed for using the right tool for the job that needs to be done. In my case I am not willing to build it in another system then processwire simply because I have no time to learn other systems ! Sometimes a client asks me to extend a wordpress or joomla site and I have to say no to them. I need all my time to learn the pw api plus php and css and hopefully become one day as good as you are.

Convincing a client to move from cms x to cms processwire, with the argument that processwire is a better cms, is an almost impossible thing to do. Non technical clients are controlled by their subconscious feelings and not at all by their conscious technical knowing. Technical clients don't like to lose face when it comes on the table having used a lesser cms for all that time. There is not only the client you have to convince but also his webmaster if he has one and his pseudo tech buddies he likes to listen to. The best way is to let the client convince him self, if there is enough time. (Usually not) What also works is bringing in processwire from a different angle, like, "Well Mr. client, having studied what your website is going to need, processwire would be the best cms for it".

I see, you ppl are in the thousands of emails range. Not used to that, and yes then something like mail merge won't do anymore. Some good examples mentioned here like MailChimp, they allow 12000 mails per month for free.

Then you need a microsoft way of sending those emails. You can write your own script that drives email outlook or whatever email program that is being used. and make it do what you want such as an email campaign. Writing a script that sends 10 emails every minute will not alarm the ISP or Hoster but of course check before. Over night that will take a bit more then 3 hours. So that is a workable situation. I use autohotkey to drive and automate the front end of programs. Have a look if Outlook has it's own scripting language or MS has one for your mail program.

Forget about Outlook, it's headache crap. You may say that is personal. So here a working fact: Use Email Thunderbird plus Mail Merge add-on. All you need is your email adresses in csv format. Mail Merge makes email campaigns a breeze. <quote> If you want to send a mail to multiple recipients, there are three common problems: First you can't personalize the mail. Second you can't send a mail to more than 25, 100, ... recipients at once. Third the recipients should not see the other recipients. Mail Merge solves these problems by creating one single mail for each recipent from a draft! </quote> <consider> The number of emails that your ISP or Hoster allows to be sent at once, or to be sent per time unit. Crossing these limits may result in a block or ending up at the list on spam house </consider> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/mail-merge/

I had a look at the coffeekit site. All you need is apeisa's shopping cart module and you will have a site like that in no time. http://modules.processwire.com/modules/shopping-cart/ You find examples in the forum.

I won't have a car for some time coming wednesday. So I already prepared and bought a universal rechargable battery at media markt. It's an external box with selectable volt output between 15 and 20 volts but with lots of A/h. So with this powering my laptop plus my internet usb dongle I will be updating my sites all back in the bus

Maybe he ran out of his free number of databases

Yes this question has been answered in the forum already a couple of times. If you really need a good file based (xml) cms try this one: http://get-simple.info/ I used it in the past and had good experience with it.

maybe this can help in some way http://processwire.com/talk/topic/3691-tutorial-a-quick-guide-to-processwire-for-those-transitioning-from-modx/ http://processwire.com/talk/topic/3111-a-modx-refugee-questions-on-features-of-processwire/ http://processwire.com/talk/topic/2850-processwire-for-designers/page-2#entry30349

darn, I have to double check before I post

I haven't tested that part of the code you referred to just this part <a href="http://mydomain.com"><p style="text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px;"><img src="<?=URLPFAD?>templates/<?=$rowTemp->name?>/pics/image.png"/></p></a> The other part does not work as you say, so I removed it from my post.

What can I say ? I just have this code in one of my websites (not processwire) and it perfectly centers the image by using the <p> tag as a container element: <a href="http://mydomain.com"><p style="text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px;"><img src="<?=URLPFAD?>templates/<?=$rowTemp->name?>/pics/image.png"/></p></a>

you'll have to apply the text-align property to the container element (the paragraph, DIV, or other block-level element that contains the image). I thought that was already clear

Independent of pocketgrid: .centeredImage { text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; } Apply the class to a container element e.g. <p>: <p class="centeredImage"><img src="imgName.gif" alt=""></p> Or control the inline element problem by converting the image from an inline to a block-level tag .centeredImage { text-align:center; display:block; }

Are you talking about mod_security in your CPanel ? What were the settings/config before and after ?

In the end aaahosting.de was down for a complete hour. What bothers me is that they don't answer my emails where I ask them what exactly the problem was. Forum member Davo came up with a very good solution, can't find the url right now.

Great post Philipp, thanks and saved it for the week-end to come.

aaahosting.de now almost an hour down and so are my clients hosted webshops. I can't do a thing but answer phone calls and tell them I have my own backups.

Anyone using aaahosting.de in Germany ? I do and they are down for already 25 minutes ! Maybe someone can confirm ? There own website www.aaahosting.de is also down.

Agree with Charles on this. This forum is pushing my learning process in a very positive way from html to php and am very thankful for this.

Bumped against exactly the same case, What I learned from the forum: Get an image by it´s name from the current page. $image = $page->images->get("name=image.jpg"); ------------------------------ Get an image by it's name from any page $temp = $pages->get("/page_that_holds_picture/"); $image = $temp->images->get("name=image.jpg"); $image = $image->width(200); echo "<img src='$image->url'/>";
