Good ideas and advice. Thanks. In truth, I actually like the manual setup and the blank slate approach but sometimes it's great to have "something I prepare earlier" too

Anyytime I start a new PW project, I have a very repetitive process to setup the base folder with assets, database and modules. The design of new sites is something I like to keep bespoke but the following can probably be streamlined a bit download modules (config, formbuilder, listerpro, upgrade, profields etc) create folders for CSS frameworks, Jquery scripts, create includes (header, footer, navigation I'm decided to create a base prototype folder and database with the essential assets. I can cookie-cutter this rapidly and duplicate it as the basis for new projects. Just curious about other peoples process for spinning out a new PW project. Some of you probably use task runners or Git etc? It's an area I need to explore. Cheers

One more thing. This may not be part of your Module but when I save a page with the Chosen Select field, I get some weird formatting. See top left of screen and specifically the UL ID of: <ul id="notices" class="ui-widget"> <li class="ui-state-highlight NoticeMessage ui-priority-secondary NoticeDebug"><a class="notice-remove" href="#"><i class="fa fa-times-circle"></i></a><i class="fa fa-gear"></i> Session: Change: Company_Selector_2</li> I think the width here needs to be 100% and not 100px? .ui-state-highlight.ui-state-highlight { top: 0; background: rgb(240,240,240); margin: 3px 5px 3px 0; padding: 0; border: 1px dotted gray; width: 100px; height: 19px; }

The drag and drop reordering works lovely. Thanks for letting me know. Can I just chip in some thoughts? This is just a personal preference but I wonder if the selected items should matched the display of the normal Page Select results. IE stacked vertically with 100% width, trash icon and colored background. Then again, your way fits more selections into a smaller space.| I wonder if the drag and drop could be refined a little. When I drag a selected page left or right, I see a dotted line which I don't think is necessary. It's also only 70% height of the field too which makes it look like a mistake. It's probably a part of the original jQuery setup? Chrome has an annoying habit of trying to auto-fill the results and bringing up a selection of 'helpful' results. But really, thanks for taking time to make this. It's a really cool field and my users will love it.

Oh cool. I hadn't realised. Rushes off to check it....

I love this field type. A user of mine needs to select several pages from 100s and the tree traversal wasn't quick enough to be practical. One thing we do miss iS the ability to reorder chosen pages like the regular page select. Is that on the horizon?

Can you share a screen via Skype or get her to use TeamViewer?

This is such a great Module. Just discovered it and imported over 1000 new pages from https://www.mockaroo.com/ in a few seconds.

Had something similar. I think you need to enable multi-lingual support even if you're not using it.

I did and had replied above. But at the time it made no difference. :-/

I checked that HTML entities was off and it was. Oddly enough, enabling and then disabling it again worked and my output is now working. Reminds me of this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn2FB1P_Mn8

Guy - thanks for the advice. I think I'll move on and setup this site again. I have all the assets and templates so it's not going to be a huge deal to redo a days work on a new install. Ideally I'd like to come away from the problem having fixed it and learnt something in the process but I've a few deadlines to meet. I'll keep the site on a dev server until I get more time to investigate.

Same issue on Windows and Mac at least.

No special chars found. Ideally I'd like to reinstall the textarea module but its part of the core and can't be removed

Not too familiar with phpMyAdmin but I had a look at the tables for the affected fields. They contain just my content and the offending html tags.

Yep - and makes no difference.

Having tried a few things, it looks like any html tag within the text area is being output. That includes P tags UL and LI tags too. It has to be a problem with the Inputfield Type not picking up the CK editor. The copy without the P was an anomaly. I've tried everything I could think of ... changing ContentType to Markup/HTML replacing non P text with P text (problem appears) pasting sample copy from other pages, sites and web pages removing CK editor and reinstalling setting up a second TextArea field and porting copy across upgrading to 2.5.23 Luckily I'm only a day into this test project and I could blitz it and start again but I'd rather find and fix the root cause.

I have 2 pages using the same TextArea field. Page 1 has the following content when clicking on HTML source <p>Web and social analytics...</p> Page 2 has the following content when clicking on HTML source <p>Analytics company based...</p> The opening and closing <p> tags of Page 1 are appearing in my front-end web pages and in Lister Pro columns (back end). Page 2 correctly renders the content and not the HTML tags. Even when I manually delete P1's P tags, they reappear and then display in the front end. Am I missing some obscure CK Editor setting? TextFormatters = HTML Entity Encoder (makes no difference) InputfieldType = CKEditor Content Type = Unknown Use ACF = Yes use HTML Purifyer = Yes

Wazne - I was trying Pages2PDF for the first time after recommendations from the guys and was getting an error as follows. Error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object (line 453 of /var/www/vhosts/pdf-tester.com/httpdocs/site/modules/WirePDF/Pages2Pdf.module) This error message was shown because you are logged in as a Superuser. Error has been logged. Looking at line 453 of /modules/WirePDF/Pages2PDF/ I see a reference to MultiLanguage Support. If I check the Multilanguage support checkbox in the Module settings, my error disappears and my PDF is working.

Hey aelbers - Ability to display lists, tables, images and videos on content pages Yes - any content you can add to the back-end / admin can be displayed on the front end - Multi-Language contents Yes - although I've yet to try it myself plenty of others here have multi-lingual sites - Defining tags for pages Yes - it's very simple, scalable and fast - Fast search based on tags You mean in the admin area or the front end? In the back-end PW has a very fast search. On the front end (depending on your template setup), clicking a tag would bring up a list of matching pages with that tag. That's how I normally do it - Editable urls for pages (e.g.: www.abc.com/en/introduction) Yes - very simple. And there's a Module too to keep track of your page name changes and create automatic redirects to the renamed url - Download section to download user manuals I'll leave that to someone else. You'll need some registration and user verification around that? - Quick content insertion Yes - See the 'Add New' feature. - Content preview Yes - you can preview a page while editing it without having to publish it. - Navigation index generation (see example page for reference) Yes - native with simple PHP or there are 2 Menu modules. How fast can one realize all of this? Really depends on your skill levels. Are you new to CMS and PHP in general or are you pretty knowledgeable and just changing systems? What are the matters of expense, and what would the realization of that cost? (approximately) ProcessWire is open source. There are a few modules you may want to buy. if you're looking to outsource it, I'd recommend you look at the Jobs/Bounty forum and get quotes there.

Anyhere between 5-10. I have a site in progress though and the client (who is relatively good at HTML) will be using HC a lot more than normal for various reasons. I suspect they'll start off with about 20 HCs and maybe even end up with double that amount. You've raised some good points. I do think that at least Tags and Descriptions are genuinely needed. One of ProcessWire's great features (to me) is scalability. Even if you don't have a requirement for a massive site, I know the scalability is there. Would be nice for HCs to avail of same.

I'd like to see better Hanna Code management and I think 4 things could greatly assist. 1 - Tags to be able to tag a piece of Hanna Code in the same manner as we tag templates. We could then see the list of Hanna Codes arranged in the same format as templates. IE broken down by tag. 2 - Usage On the Hanna Code list i'd also like to see a column called Pages (and Templates?) telling me how many pages and templates use my Hanna Code. Again, similar to the Templates layout. 3 - Filter / Find The Find page has a tab called Filters for searching by template, field etc etc. In fact, I can filter by almost anything except Hanna Codes. 4 - Descriptions To be able to add a plain text description to a Hanna Code. I try to name my HCs in a helpful way such as Get-Video Get-Investor-News etc Sometimes I have several variations of the above and I'd like an at-a-glance way to distinguish them without having to click into the HC or at least be able to see the description once I've clicked in. Anyone else feel the same or do I use HC more than most?

Are you keeping the exact same design, content and structure? If so, your page rank won't be affected (negatively OR positively) unless the server is slower as speed is now a google metric. That's my belief anyway.

Cheers Nickie

I'd like to link to a page by referencing it's page ID <a href="?id=1411">view all</a> instead of using a page path <a href="/solutions/case-studies/">view all</a> Using a page name/path result in breaking changes whereas using an ID is more future proof, right? The only Module I found is called PageLinkAbstractor which works for text fields and RTEs but not necessarily templates. I normally do this on MODX using something like... <a href="index.php?id=1411">view all</a>
