PW is chosen, WP is followed.

Not my line, I borrowed it. Can't find anymore who posted that originally. Was not so long ago, strange.

After some fast and hard digging found this: http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2067357/Bye-bye-Crawler-Blocking-the-Parasites

Thanks for your replies

Hi, One of my clients website has a lot of traffic due to a chinese crawler, every day constantly up to 1000 visits. It´s the agressive Baidu crawler coming from this ip range: 180.76.5.x 180.76.6.x Besides the page crawling, it is really nervous to see how many attempts this crawler makes on login.php However this client has no business and no clients in china. He wants me to block this crawler. I tried with robots.txt but this crawler does not seem to respect what is configured in robots.txt I need something more powerfull with a .htaccess file. Has anyone an example .htaccess file how to block this ip range and do I put this in the root public.html ?

Photowebmax: I recognize a lot in what you write and I'm sure others will also. Yes, first we are human and second we are a designer/coder. Modx, well, loved evo but ran away from that frankenstein cms revo. Yes I have to give the modx forum credit, especially to Susan Otwell. She helped countless people on the forum and also helped modx a long time ago when they were in trouble. Thanks to pw I finally fell in the process of becoming a php coder. Making websites has the advantage of making new contacts/friends world wide.

You can still download legally a 30 day trial windows 7 iso from the servers of digital river.

Go to http://wojodesign.com/simpleCart/ Right click and view page source It runs completely on the client side so I wouldn't recommend this shopping cart. The latest simplecart version is 3.0 and you should check if they solved these security issues: https://github.com/wojodesign/simplecart-js/issues/329 http://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/1dxiy0/this_javascript_shopping_cart_just_looks_too_easy/

Everfreecreative: great post, you really said it there. Posts like that should not fade but pinned as one of the first posts e.g. in faqs. Copied your post link and changed old title Newbies first starting questions into starting newbies and designers. https://processwire.com/talk/topic/4173-grouped-forum-posts-links-articles-tutorials-code-snippets/

Soma, you are right about that. I have wrongly interpreted the article. Guess I´m just too busy with google site ranking lately.

did you check vhost _default setting in httpd.conf ? First comes this: <VirtualHost _default_:*> DocumentRoot path to ../htdocs </VirtualHost> second comes this: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName test DocumentRoot path to ../htdocs/your folder </VirtualHost>

Did you check the error.log file ? ..\apache\logs\error Does your apache really start and is port 80 not in use by some service ? Type http://localhost in your browser's address bar and see if anything shows up like a welcome page. Stop apache and mysql service and go inside the controlpanel and do a port check.

Check DocumentRoot setting in ..\apache\conf\httpd.conf to find to what folder it is pointing. htdocs is in xampp/apache/htdocs or in another folder ? I made my footsteps also in linux. Have dual boot here with win7 and linux mint petra cinnamon.

After using pw for a while now, same experience here. In the beginning pw surprised me how easy you can take your first steps with php. Then, only after making websites, you're gonna find out how powerful the pw api is.

Interesting, would you mind telling what script language you use for that, windows or php ? I use autohotkey and purebasic a lot to make online work easier. What´s wrong with smarty template engine ? I think it´s good. http://www.smarty.net/why_use

Already been discussed a lot in both modx and pw forums, just read

Another CP Goodie:

Hi, Do your own youtube videos embedded in your website rank your website up in google ? I was reading this article: http://www.bruceclay.com/blog/10-video-seo-tips-to-improve-serp-rank/ What do you think ?

It will be a BIG mistake if we make Processwire a commercial platform No it won´t. Opensource with paid support and paid modules/forms/templates etc. works perfectly. Providing paid professional support, modules, templates, etc. etc raises respect and attracts different clients. Commerical modules for who? Shops, pro seo, pro templates, billing systems, order tracking, renting, bookings, real estate, etc. etc. It´s a big world out there. Also check processwire jobs => https://processwire.com/talk/forum/22-jobs/ Let's take Linux, is the BEST operating system and is free, there is a small fee for support but that's all. Ever seen the linux support from red hat, oracle, ibm, ubuntu etc. ? And let's organize a Donation online event, Donating doesn´t work, I will spare you the reason why. We should thank Ryan and his coding team for releasing processwire with the level as it is today for free. I would go for this: Leave it for free for what it is today but: a) paid future upgrades to the core b) paid pro modules/forms/templates/etc. c) paid support

Link pls, edit: Ok, youtubedotcom/watch?v=dnJaCPOlJ2s (didn´t see that post so quickly)

Is it better than bloated artisteer ? Will give macaw a try. Anything that can save time is worth to try. A long time ago ps was very popular for designing a complete front. You can still find a lot of psd => html tuto´s and a lot of professional ps templates. Today I still use it to setup only the core of a front. PS is still a pro way to setup for example the front of a nav bar, a form or buttons. It looks much better than those css coded nav bars, forms or buttons. There is no difference in load time and they are also made responsive, and compatible with all browsers and their versions. Can´t say that from css coded stuff. Sometimes css coded nav bars/forms/buttons need longer time to load due to a lot of calls or database requests.

Yes your right about that. On the other hand I´m seeing so many websites with a white background that I would like to give another background. Maybe it´s just me.

Good one, has easy nav, good font/color/size, perfect pics, responsive layout. Maybe change the (overall) white background into something more soft ?
