More GoDaddy weirdness. Clicking many of the links within ProcessWire admin results in a 500 error. For example, Modules > Refresh does this as does the Upgrades link. The only way I can get the site to work again is to reimport a backed up database. I'm going to move this site asap but thought I'd add it to the list of reasons not to use this service.

Thanks @BitPoet Good to know. I think some DNS settings (CNAME and alias) were confusing things. I worked around it.

I have a single Processwire install with two domains pointing to it. There's in-progress.com which is the "proper domain" and won't be live for a few months mini-project.com which needs to go live immediately but just point to a sub-page Is there a way with .htaccess to know when the site is being accessed through mini-project.com, keep that address is the browser bar and redirect to mini-project.com/project-home/ To give a little context, a part of the in-progress needs to be accessible immediately and we've registered that temporary mini-project.com and pointed it at the same site. The key here is to only do that redirect when mini-project.com is the source request. Otherwise I guess I'd use Jumplinks etc

Good approach. Same here on the authentication etc. I just verified a single domain - one of my own and send in all responses to clients as "webforms@edenstudios.com". They're pretty ok with that as they recognise them immediately.

Snap here on the PostMarkApp part. It may have been you who pointed me to them. Do you verify all your individual domains via SPF and DKIM verified authentication? P

I have about 50 pages which are just containers for their child pages. What's the most efficient way to exclude these parent pages from Searches? I'm using Ryan's code here I guess I have a few options but is number 2 here the best way or is there anything I haven't considered which would be better? 1. Mark as 'Hidden: Exclude from lists and searches" Isn't an option because it hides from lists which I use. 2. Tell the selector to ignore a particular template(s) Sounds like a good approach 3. Create my own checkbox called "Search Ignore" and add it into a selector Could work but it seems like a ton of work to manually edit all the pages I want to ignore Cheers

BTW in above statement I should clarify that you should try building a blog yourself as opposed to building a Module.

I wouldn't start by installing a Module such as Blog etc. I believe for you, a better approach would be to gradually build your own from scratch. You'll learn a lot more that way. Start with a few individual pages based on a template called "blog-post" and add a few basic fields. Just title, summary and body would be fine. Once you can make and view them then try to create a blog overview or homepage displaying the title and summary of each and a link to each full post. Lets say that template is called blog-posts (plural) You'll get a real kick out of just being able to do that and you're just echoing simple tags and getting to know "foreach" statements. Then try to add a date field to each blog post and add that to both templates. Later you can try adding a main image, maybe even an author and then move onto tags and categories. I think you'll get much more enjoyment out of building your own and a better understanding of the fundamentals.

Can you drop your own sample into a CodePen or similar? Anytime I've had margin or padding issues with UI kit it's because I was missing a uk-grid or had my own CSS interfering with the flow.

Reinstalling did the trick.

I had a botched upgrade today and looking for some help. I was running the previous UIKit theme and then tried to install the new version. Fatal error: Class 'ProcessWire\AdminThemeFramework' not found in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/site/modules/AdminThemeUikit/AdminThemeUikit.module on line 18 The odd thing is I seem to have all the files in place I need. I'm going to try restore the database to see if that helps and reinstall my wire and index files etc

@abdus That Might be a hybrid theme or a version of the RenoTheme. Either way - love his implementation. I was trying to figure out those little arrows on the drop down menus. Looks like Ryan has it in hand etc.

If you or anyone else wants to make this happen, let me know. Possibly wait until I know Ryan's plans. I don't want to duplicate work or have several almost identical themes. ? I can supply raw css. Just need someone who knows Git, Less and has time to collaborate etc.

Go for it. Looking forward to seeing more themes (and tutorials)

It took me about 20 - 30 minutes so I imagine someone with the right skills wouldn't have an issue. The Colours are mainly inspected from another window with the original Classic theme open. It's also just a preview. There's probably a ton of detail that would need to be considered. Modals, alerts, image thumbs etc etc etc. I had it easy doing a single screen.

Playing around with the UIKit theme this morning and tweaking it. It's called UIKit Classic and it's a nod to the Classic theme. For me the Classic theme always sticks in my mind as being most definitively Processwire-ey because It was my fist intro to PW I thought the colours were quite unique and like the mix of blue, pink and green. They're very distinctive and I'd hate for PW to look like just another WP install. In a crowded CMS marketplace I think it's good to differentiate visually. The two screengrabs are just the same screen. A before and an after. I put this together using the Chrome the web inspect tool so there's no fancy mixins or LESS etc. Actually there's not even any CSS now that I've refreshed the page. I do think there needs to be a detailed comprehensive through tutorial for people wishing to make their own themes. Probably 85% here don't need it and understand the directory structure and how it's all compiled but equally I think there's another 15% here with the design skills but not the tech chops to get this done. If we want designers to design themes then we need the process with screengrabs, list of software (I have CodeKit, Dreamweaver, Sublime etc). Anywho - just my 2€ worth The before shot below...

Personally I like it. I'm using it more and more and hope to get time for a simple theme soon. If you get a chance, can you document the steps you took to get you customising UIKitTheme? I know your toolset is probably different than mine and it's about 4 years since I used CodeKit. Possibly thats a stand alone thread titled "Customising UIKit" etc or something? For example, I've installed UIKitTheme and activated it. I have a local folder called site/assets/AdminThemeUikit Within this I think it's the site/assets/AdminThemeUikit/uikit/custom directory I need to drag onto CodeKit to create a project From this point I'm a little lost as to where things are. For example if I want to change the color below to #eb1e62 then where do I locate that LESS file generating the CSS The colour variables .uk-h1, .uk-h2, .uk-h3, .uk-h4, .uk-h5, .uk-h6, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { margin: 0 0 20px 0; font-family: -apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Roboto,"Helvetica Neue",Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; color: #333; text-transform: none; } I think I just need a pointer in the right direction and I'll be flying!

But are the original instructions about moving the files from /wire/modules/AdminTheme/AdminThemeDefault to /site/modules/AdminTheme/AdminThemeDefault still relavant? I did the above, made some changes to the css file and the admin in still picking up the original CSS file in /wire/modules/AdminTheme/AdminThemeDefault

I think this is a really positive thing to do. Focus on what you enjoy working on and where you want to take someones site and maybe they'll see that sincerity and take notice.

Anyone know if this post is still the recommended way to reskin an existing template?

Really interesting requirements there. I'm assuming your intranets have a ton of files. How do you handle these? Use a file field on a page by page basis Create separate pages to represent each file Use a single page to act as a bucket for all files something completely different

After Ryan's post yesterday re. the new Login Module I was thinking how great it is to finally have this in the core. I get asked a little about Login Modules when I show PW to people. Just out of curiosity, what type of features are you asked about when showing PW to your peers? Here's the top 5 FAQs I'm usually asked. Does it have ... user login/out and membership management have good SEO support image cropping incl media management versions or drafts capability with approval process e commerce And then sometimes ... page builder type fields (Matrix I guess) Multilingual support Taxonomy / tags / categorisation Blogging Web forms What kind of stuff do you get asked about?

Wonderful to see a native Login script. I'd say it's in the top 5 queries I have when I show PW to another designer/developer.

I this is the paradox of PW's admin. It's so simple and efficient that a new user may be a little underwhelmed. As users we all understand why this is. But if you're coming from WP or something with lots of bells and whistles promoted from the initial screen, then PW can seem quite sparse. I don't think this is a bad thing at all but imagine you're a developer trying to sell PW to your team and convince them to abandon CMS X. They're going to have to understand that the beauty is in the API, the flexibility, the scalability etc etc I'm not knocking the Admin here. Just saying you only realise these things (flexibility, scalability, simplicity) when you've crossed that line and are an actual user.

I've been using it a lot more lately and have grown to really like it. I think what I prefer are the drop downs from the top navigation bar. Reno theme doesn't have this and requires an extra click. It just feels less snappy / fast. I know an extra click isn't much but as a "power user" I could be editing multiple sites a day. I'll never get those extra clicks back
