For those who have moved from MODX to ProcessWire what would you say were the main benefits? Any drawbacks? (maybe this should be a new thread?)

Hi Doolak, I haven't tried retrieving them yet because I was getting the error message on upload. I looked in the database table for thumbnails and there was no reference to them, even though they were getting uploaded, resized, and renamed ok. Thanks Mike

Great! Thanks Joss, plenty to get my teeth stuck into there, my explorations continue ... Mike

Hi, I'm new to Process Wire, I like the look of it and am checking it out. I'm working through the "Simple News System" tutorial having done the "Basic Website Tutorial" When I get to the part that uses the Thumbnails module I am having problems. I've worked through the tutorial on two different servers and get the same problem When I try to upload an images I get an error messages like: There is no thumb called: listingimage But the images are actually getting uploaded, resized and renamed. However I did get it to work briefly on one occasion when I left the thumbnail setting at it's default value of: thumbnail,100,100 Instead of the tutorial settings of: thumbnail,360,280 listingImage,280,170 However when I changed the settings it broke it again and setting it back to the defaults didn't repair it. I'm using the latest version of ProcessWire and CropImage module (downloaded from GitHub last night) . Any ideas? Thanks Mike

Hi Joss, Thanks for responding. OK, i will copy the post to the thumbnails thread too. Yes I tried the most recent version of Thumbnails downloaded from Github last night. Thanks. I completed your tutorial with those suggestions, thanks. Ignoring the Thumbnails problem for now what I'd like to try next in my learning process is recreate two things I saw on the "Process Wire 2 Overview" video. 1) At about 4:58 in the video Ryan highlights some text in a rich text editor, clicks the link icon, and gets a pop up where he can choose a page from the site to link to. 2) At about 5:22 he resizes an image in the rich text editor, saying that the image will be re-sampled from the original. That's brilliant! But how is it done? Can you point me in the right direction, modules, tutorials, etc? Thanks Mike
