Thanks Kongondo. I actually found both of them just after posting. Many thanks for the link. What I'm hoping for is some real world advice on the actual profile and module. Do they work well or are they problematic? I ask because a different CMS with which I blog has a "blogging" add-on. However, lately support for it has been patchy and there are talks about disbanding it. Unless you were part of the forums, one could unwittingly end up using something which has already been marked with a short life-span. So real world input from users would be great. BTW, the link to the Skeleton framework is broken on this page http://modules.processwire.com/modules/blog-profile/

Hi guys I was looking for your input on ProcessWire as a blogging solution. Am primarily concerned about comment functionality and moderation. I'm not too concerned about tags or categories but would be great to get some general advice. I realise I could go down the Disquss path for comments and that's certainly an option too if commenting isn't supported. Many thanks.

Wow, Lister looks really cool. Can it be set as the default view on a site or per-page basis?

Hi guys and Matthew. Thanks for the follow up. It's great to know that the PW community is so helpful. Looking at that link now

Thanks Adrian. Looking at them now. >>>It also has an inline mode which you might prefer. Meaning I can add API calls directly into the Text Editor?

Hi folks Wondered if anyone could answer the following questions. Just a pointer in the right direction would be a great help. Rich text Editor Maybe I'm spolit from using Redactor on my other CMSs but I hate Tiny MCE. Any plans to bring redactor to PW? User submitted content Is it possible to have a public facing webform. A user can submit content which is confined to certain fields. That content would then create an unpublished page for me to approve /edit and make live? Ideally I'd like to be able to specify in the form under which "section" a new page would be created. Manager Are there any plans to redesign the Manager, give it a facelift and maybe build it within Bootstrap 3 or some responsive framowork? Thanks guys.

Hi guys. Just wanted to check back in as the OP and give an update. I'm really excited to be creating a personal project with PW and am amazed at how clever it is. I had one of those "aha!" moments recently where I opened up the default template, tweaked some API calls and managed to extract content from fields across various demo pages. It occoured to me that I can work with PW and I "get" it. Happy days indeed Since I posted I had been looking at my options and evaluating both ProcessWire and Craft CMS. Craft CMS really does have the upper hand in terms of the backend manager. The design, responsiveness and usability are superior (IMHO). To be fair to PW, Craft is a much much newer system. However, as clunky as PW is I'm really excited to already be building a personal site with it. No offence intended but the back-end of PW is like the Millenium Falcon. Clearly its dated and a piece of sh*t but what an amazing piece of sh*t. You know it wont let you down. Looking forward to being part of the community. I'm really excited to be able to use MODX, PW and Craft and will use, support and promote all 3 from here on in.

What about Conditional Output modifiers. http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Input+and+Output+Filters+(Output+Modifiers)#InputandOutputFilters%28OutputModifiers%29-Conditionaloutputmodifiers In MODX I sometimes specify a field or content or a chunk based on the page ID or a TV being populated. I also use conditions such as If this field is not empty, use this field else use this field If this page id is X then show this html / field How does PW handle this?

Hi all. I'm a front end guy who knows HTML,css,a little jquery and am learning PHP (slowly). I've mainly been creating sites in MODX Revo for the past couple if years. I personally love it, love the community and will always be a user and fan. But I made the decision lately to expand my CMS pool and in addition to MODX have heard good things about PW. Recently a client proposed rolling out a site and I am evaluating PWs suitability as the underlying site. Here are some features. Membership with potential for ten of thousands of members. User Groups and sign up forms adding users to particular groups. Vast amount of pages with ability to organise and search pages ( via backend) Paid membership What concerns me about PW is how the CMS will handle such a huge number of pages as it uses the resource tree concept. Some dabbling with Expression Engine made me appreciate the 'bucket' data model where an entry didn't have to be a page. I hope that makes sense. Information was stored in Channels, were very scalable and manageable too. Ironically, I never got to grips with EE fully and moved on to MODX. My usage of PW will not be a switch from MODX but I am keen not to learn another CMS with a potential resource tree shortcoming. Possibly someone gets what I am saying? Just how scalable is PW and do I need to learn PHP?
