I did look there first but those logos don't have the P symbol used on the site. Google image search has mixed results but may have found something I can cobble. Would be great to have a brand section on the site.

if anyone has the PW logo as a PNG or EPZ, can you provide a copy? Thanks

Cheers Fokke. I'm familiar with the Page field and it's brilliant. I'm not sure that it'd match my tagging requirements though ?

I'm building a site for a college where they teach approx 20 courses. Each course page will have a: tutor duration price and I'd like each of these to be clickable tags whch loads a page listing matching courses. So if Prof. Beezlebub is teaching religion, I want web users toclick his name and see a list of his other courses etc In the PW admin, I want editors to be able to specify what courses contain which tags. Can someone give me a very basic overview of whats involved. I don't see a field type called Tags in the Filed setup. I also want to make sure that a tag from a Courss will load a list of other courses, but not any matching tags from say, a blog. Many thanks

No. 1 - an optional add-on.

Fixed my issue and just updating this in case anyone has same problems. Authors profiles are just users. If you have a user, you can set their blurb in the Users area. I'd renamed my /blog/ page to /blog-test/ and this is why some of my links weren't working and why the right column wasn't displaying "Recent Comments" and "View by" etc Blog settings are back since I renamed my /blog-test/ to blog/ upgraded PHP to 5.5 and updated the blog module to the latest version.

Cheers Ryan I revisited the requirements page for the dev branch and noticed: PHP version 5.3.8 or newer.Once I upgraded the hosts PHP version to 5.5, it worked. My oversight but thanks for chipping in.

Should I be able to add Authors in the Blog>Settings>Author page? Currently links to my author are throwing a 404 and I was sure that previouly, this was the correct space to add authors. PW 2.4.0 Also, none of my General Settings ar ebeing saved. When I open the General settings page, all the fields are blank. Populating anything and saving throws an error of: Can't save page 0: : Pages of type NullPage are not saveable

Hi guys Just tried an upgrade from 2.4.0 to todays Dev branch and now have an error message. Whats the best way to diagnose? I can restore the old files but wondered if this was fixable?

How many modules are there in Processwire? Compare to MODX?
Peter Knight replied to lord_dupalski's topic in Getting Started
Hey dupalski Just out of interest, what kind of features on your site do you think might need either Modules or Extras? I'm a long time MODX user who has just started using ProcessWire so I understand your question. To be fair to both systems, they're both terrific and you really can't go wrong by choosing either. Particularly with a site as small as you mention. You're not going to make a bad decision so just get stuck in. The only thing I would say is to eventually give each CMS a proper go. I know time restrictions mean you have to choose between either CMS right now and roll with it, but I've found each CMS works a little differently and has different strengths. Knowing both can only make you grow as a designer/developer and it makes no sense to me how some people choose *a* CMS and stick with it at the exclusion of everything else. I haven't replaced MODX as my CMS but am simply broadening my toolset. What I will say about PW is that since "joining", I've found the community to be incredibly helpful. MODX community is very helpful too. But what I particularly like about PW is how communicative Ryan (main developer) is about roadmap, features, the upcoming release etc etc. Good luck with the site.- 14 replies

Genius. Thank you

So if we update to 1.2.2 will we loose any changes we've made in the interim?
-
Agree. I'm coming from that CMS and I really like the ability to not have to rely on includes so much.
-
Thanks Soma. Happy days @mr-fan Re. RTFM you're right. I need to familiarise myself with selectors more and how to use them. hazards of choosing a new CMS on a tight deadline.
-
Can it be done with Soma's SimpleMarkupNavigation? It seems to have more control over setting the options but I can only seem to work it by starting at the root and not the parent <?php $treeMenu = $modules->get("MarkupSimpleNavigation"); // load the module $options = array( 'parent_class' => 'parent', 'current_class' => 'current', 'has_children_class' => 'has_children', 'levels' => true, 'levels_prefix' => 'level-', 'max_levels' => 1, 'firstlast' => false, 'collapsed' => true, 'show_root' => true, 'selector' => '', 'selector_field' => 'nav_selector', 'outer_tpl' => '<ul>||</ul>', 'inner_tpl' => '<ul>||</ul>', 'list_tpl' => '<li%s>||</li>', 'list_field_class' => '', 'item_tpl' => '<a href="{url}">{title}</a>', 'item_current_tpl' => '<a href="{url}">{title}</a>', 'xtemplates' => '', 'xitem_tpl' => '<a href="{url}">{title}</a>', 'xitem_current_tpl' => '<span>{title}</span>', 'date_format' => 'Y/m/d', 'code_formatting' => false, 'debug' => false ); echo $treeMenu->render($options); // render default menu ?>

In MODX there's a snippet call Ultimate Parent. I use it for building sub-menus on the left navigation of my pages. IE Whereas my top nav would list all level 1 pages, UltimateParent would only list sub-pages of the current Page. Is there a PW module for this or would it be simply a case of using some PHP with the API?
-
That would normally be my own setup. In this instance, it doesn't work. Well, it works for the homepage but any sub-pages dont work. I suspect my issue is one to do with my shared hosting environment Because the domain name has yet to be setup, I am working on on a "domain reference" where my hosting company names a folder on a server after the name of my site IE I have my rewrite based set to RewriteBase /mysite.com/ But my working homepage (until domain is working) is http://217.199.187.73/mysite.com/

I'm having some problems with css, include and image paths and wondered what the advice was for the location of following assets (folder in root) - scripts - images - css Currently I have it in the root but perhaps it should be located in the default site/assets/ directory which comes with PW? Reason I ask is because I have a templates folder with a homepage and basic-page template located at site/templates. Both files are located in exactly the same level but both require different paths for the CSS Homepage only works with <link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/scripts/foundation/css/normalize.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/scripts/foundation/css/foundation.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/scripts/foundation/css/foundation-custom.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/styles.css"> Basic page only works if I add "../" before above <link rel="stylesheet" href="../assets/scripts/foundation/css/normalize.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="../assets/scripts/foundation/css/foundation.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="../assets/scripts/foundation/css/foundation-custom.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="../assets/css/styles.css"> I should probably make the above into a single include but I'd rather solve this mystery first.

Ooohhhh, what is fieldsettabs and where is the documentation?
-
I was looking for a way to group fields within the admin today and came across this wiki entry which does just that http://wiki.processwire.com/index.php/Template_Tabs IE have fields nested under certain categories when editing a page such as General Content (heading/category) Summary (nested field) Body (nested field) Featured Content (heading/category) Homepage images (nested field) Homepage summary (nested field) I was wondering if there were plans to make this a little more straightforward and perhaps use Categories or Tags. We already use Tags to group fields on the main fields (admin >setup >fields) and could this be extended slightly?

Thanks for keeping this open. Just had same question and found this thread

3 cols of featured content - best practice
Peter Knight replied to Peter Knight's topic in Getting Started
Hey uprightbass360 I was literally about to post an update when your latest post apepared. After days of getting nowhere and a looming deadline, I wondered if perhaps my issues were a result of a local environment so I reinstalled PW on my www hosting, setup all the same fields, templates, pages etc (zzzz) and the same code worked beautifully. The only changes I actually made were to set a max of 1 image on the image field. I think there was something locally preventing me from using CropImage properly on my local install. I can tell now because when I crop an image on my remote site, the image in the "featured_image" field reflects the cropped image. On my local install, the image was allegdely cropped but always displayed the fullsize image with the image field. Whew! Anyway, I'm finally moving forward again and building my clients site. Thanks everyone for the help. -
Any screen grabs?

Cheers Horst. I'll get a chance to try again tomorrow. Appreciate the help.
