  1. The images on the about page do not show on desktop version (running firefox 25 windows) but when I resized the window they show up

    I can reproduce what Peter Foeng has found with Firefox on windows desktop:

    images on the about page only show up after resizing the window.

    With Cometbird browser, even after resizing the window, images do not show up.

    With Opera browser the images show up ok.

  2. @pwired, you completely missed the point here

    We'll if the point wasn't about performance but about nice to have feature then better be more clear about it

    instead of leaving it open for other interpretations such as html/css or graphic performance.

    Re-edited my post.

  3. You never know if Oracle is going to change anything in the future with MySQL. Look what they did with java when they took over Sun. With mariaDB we won't have to worry about similar MySQL scenarios.

  4. Thanks Soma, yes I saw AWStats on my own payed server and other web statistic services as well. I forgot to mention that in this case it is for a free hosting server with limitations such as without included webstatistics.

    So I am looking for a php script or other script that I can upload and keeps track of file downloads.

    So  far I found this page http://proxy2.de/scripts.php but no php script.

  5. I tried a lot of web site statistics tools but they only show page visits, country, ip, browser, os, etc. etc.

    What I need is a server script or tool that shows me how many times a specific file is downloaded from

    my website and from what ip. If anyone knows, thanks in advance.

  6. Here are two more for the record. I Installed pw on a free hoster and suffered from 500 Internal Server Error.

    After going through the .htaccess of pw I found that after commenting the following two lines everything works fine.

      # DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
      # SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On
     

    I guess every hoster has it settings that you have to adapt to in .htaccess.

    Is going through the .htaccess file the only way to solve these issues or what about

    some script, other than phpinfo, that can check these hosting settings/restrictions ?

  7. For debugging, sometimes it is better to set it up first outside processwire. Use an index.html and subdirectories

    for the images, css and js. Copy and paste the html example code in the index.html. The bxslider css and js calls

    between the <head> tags. The .bxslider call and <ul class="bxslider"> between the <body> tags.

    Try different bxslider parameters and wrappers. Once you have everything working correctly in this part then bring it all over into processwire.

  8. Thank you from a lollypop/sugarpop color hater.

    Your color scheme matches more office/administration/business style,

    and that is what it has to be for something like processwire.

    Also colors easy for the eyes is an important issue. Especially if you are going to look at them many times.

    _colors-grey.scss and main-grey.css are both 90 kB. There is a whole lot of declarations and code in there.

    That's gonna take a while to find out where to change something (safe) to customize the colors.

  9. and never the two shall meet (because when they do, their javascripts conflict,

    Yes this is a big problem when you find javascript snippets and bring them in your website. Many times I had buttons disappear, banner rotators seen stopping, or layouts seen change and lost many hours to find the specific line in the javascript code with the colliding code. This also happens if the javascript calls for it's own css that can conflict with another css that is called on the same current webpage. Debugging again and give some html tag another id name to avoid code collision. Makes me wonder how do you guys avoid this from the beginning ? Give everything unique id's or don't use snippets found with google ? I guess there must be a safe way of doing this.

  10. but you have to take care of the features and the output (html, css). That isn't a disadvantage! It's more work to do, but final you get what you want...

    Processwire gives you all the freedom where others don't. That's why we all are here. The only work that needs to be done is to invest time to learn how to setup templates and replace html tags with api/php calls. Processwire is the only cms that I know where you can build websites so close to the core. It is almost a low level coding cms. That's why you can also use it as a cmf and application builder. Processwire has no cms walls. The more you get experienced the more processwire let you do with it.

    But beginners would be happy to get such modules ready to use from the pw module repo

    Do you mean beginners who want to grow into experienced website builders or beginners who need more typical modules available ?

    Yes I think processwire would become more popular in the market if there are more typical modules available to setup an out of the box website that would meet with todays popular possibilities - forums - chats - picture galleries - rotating banners - forms - front end users - registers - password reset - etc. etc.

    Maybe an idea to build such a website with processwire and make it public available as a profile ?

  11. First build up more routine with using html, css and especially the api inside processwire, then start with php

    5. go through the processwire website tutorials

    6. follow the examples you find included on many free picture galleries.

    7. With google and this forum you can find many code snippets and try them out in processwire.

    Have a look here too:

  12. Personally I really like the fact that ProcessWire has the ability to be both and would like to avoid emphasizing either *too much* over the other.

    Yes, but there are cases with techy clients where you can not avoid that such a conversation comes on the table. I simply say that the coded architecture of processwire is open for both cms and cmf usage. I show them the api and the unlimited creative usage it allows you with html - api and php.
