  1. I think this will be useful for me (and many others) too, so I look forward to those posts (after your 1st Ninjacoding cup obviously!) Thanks Luis.
  2. I've been using PW for a few days, read a lot of forum posts, tried the tutorials and watched a few of Ryan's videos on Youtube. After using a traditional CMS for several years, I'm still struggling with some of the basics of PW. I'm building a site for a client, I think PW is the perfect solution for it but I want to make sure I build it the right way from the beginning so that I don't have a sudden "eureka" moment in a week or two and realise I should have built it differently. The site is basically a directory of files (mostly PDF and Word Documents stored locally) and links to external websites. There's not going to be a huge amount of files or external sites (probably less than 30 of each). Each of these files and links will be categories and appear in a "resources" section of the site. One main feature of the site is that users will need to keep track of which files and external links they have visited and which they have not. For this reason (and a few others), I'm thinking that I will give each file and each external website it's own PW page, which would mean the sitemap would look something like this: Home - Section 1 - Section 2 - Section 3 - Section 4 - Resources - Local Files - Page for file 1 - Page for file 2 - etc... - External Sites - Page for external site 1 - Page for external site 2 - etc... Is this a sensible way to use pages or would it be better to approach this a different way? Thanks for any advice.
  3. Thanks very much, the repeater sounds perfect. I started building a quick sample and noticed that when I attach files to a page, those files are only available on that one page. In my case, some of the documents may be suggested as "useful documents" on several different FAQs. Ideally, I would like to reuse the attached documents across several pages. How would I do that? Ryan,would your data table suggestion solve that for me? if so, could you give me a slightly more detailed explanation of that? I'm thinking that perhaps I create a "page" for each document (or item in the data table) and then use the "page" type field to insert them into a template page, but this is still all very new so I might be way off the mark. Again, thanks for your help. I'm loving processwire so far.
  4. I've spent today "playing" with processwire and it looks great, but I have a question on the best way to implement something. I am building a small knowledge-base type of site that will have FAQs and some useful documents/files to assist users. The user will be able to select one of the FAQs, then view a paragraph or two that will answer the question and there will also be links to some "useful documents" in PDF or Word doc format and "useful sites" which will be external URLs. From what I've seen in processwire so far, the FAQs and the links to files will be no problem. For the files there is a "file" field-type that allows you to attach multiple files but when I add a field of type "URL" it only seems to allow me to add one URL. I'm totally new to processwire, so I may be looking at this the wrong way or missed something obvious. So, my questions are: 1. Am I missing something obvious? 2. Is there an easy way to modify the URL type to allow multiple URLs? 3. Is there another/better way to do this? Thanks for any advice
