  1. Discussion about Flarum on the forum of Discourse, another modern forum software
  2. Yeah, I was aiming that at anyone who might be curious about running their own (email) server. Checking the reliability of tutorials is wise. The people behind Debian are a pretty reliable source on securing Debian http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ With sites like Stack Exchange, you get peer reviewed answers: http://serverfault.com/questions/11659/what-steps-do-you-take-to-secure-a-debian-server
  3. I love Virtualmin. Using it in production for a client, with email as well. If you ever dreamed about building your own email server, with Virtualmin it's pretty much point and click, spam/virus protection and everything. Do learn about hardening security for your distro, though. A very nice alternative theme: https://github.com/qooob/authentic-theme
  4. Finnish web hotel with ProcessWire preinstalled: http://www.zerodistance.fi/palvelut/webhotelli-pw.php
  5. Complex (curly) syntax in the PHP manual
  6. I didn't trust you so I visited the Internet Archive: it wasn't *that* bad! Awe-inspiring shades of liturgical violet and red
  7. Posted without reading the previous posts and didn't notice EvolveUI was mentioned.. Well, to avoid having a post with no content here's an open source mockup tool that uses local storage in your browser: http://fatiherikli.github.io/mockup-designer/ https://github.com/fatiherikli/mockup-designer
  8. Adrian noticed the same thing recently.
  9. https://processwire.com/talk/topic/3925-project-management-for-developers-how-you-do-it/page-3#entry47038
  10. Yeah, I mixed things up. Only if you create a non-GPL product using their stuff, you have buy their pro edition. I have previously suggested that a project management system could be created with PW and DHTMLx components
  11. This is free for non-commercial use: http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxScheduler/ This is for server-side integration: http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxConnector/
  12. Continuing on this slightly off-topic path, but may I ask, how you have tried to teach yourself PHP? I'm asking because I've recently been trying to learn it more systematically myself. I'm not a math guy either, but I really don't think it matters as we are not trying to build game engines or graphics algorithms here. From what I gather, you are concerned with display logic code and not stuff that would require you to grasp object oriented programming. When I built sites with Joomla's CCKs, I had to learn how to create display logic, too. Combined with the point'n'click interfaces and Joomla's templating system and framework, it was a lot more to learn than PW. Have you customized the way Joomla or K2 display stuff in the PHP template level? Do you find it easier than PW? To display stuff with PW you have to know what are variables how to do if statements how to use foreach echo how to use PW selectors maybe how to create and call a function (or not) Maybe the trickiest of these (for me at least, to get the syntax right) are the PW selectors, is it true for you? Or is it something other that is difficult? I agree that the opaqueness of how programming is done today is a real problem and I'm happy to see people like Bret Victor and Chris Granger wanting to solve it. But a little display logic sprinkled on top of HTML is in a completely different league and not really suffering from this.
  13. Thank you for the quick response and feature implementation! It works for me as expected. Yesterday I spent a few hours thinking how I could do renaming like this and then I discovered your module already existed
  14. How should this be modified to have Datetime field in its output format instead of Unix timestamp in "Filename Format"?
  15. Search Youtube for russian dash cam to see dozens more cases of bad and good luck.
  16. Editing files on a Linux server on a local Windows machine sometimes causes extra line breaks so watch out for that annoyance.

    learning php

    I recently decided I have to do some proper PHP learning so I read Learning PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, CSS & HTML5 and then PHP Objects, Patterns, and Practice for some hardcore OOP stuff. Reading about OOP design patterns got me thinking maybe there could be a Processwire design pattern collection. It would contain high-level design patterns that would teach aspiring PW users to think in the language of pages, fields and templates. Obviously I'm in the phase of letting all this OOP sorcery sink in, so I'm just throwing this idea out to you PW gurus. Is there merit to my idea or did the combination of sun & OOP information overload simply soften my head?
  18. A new proposal to refine the "MVC" pattern: Action-Domain-Responder I hope you don't mind me dropping that in your thread, but I didn't want to start a whole new topic
  19. @jlahijani: that's a valuable summary you've got there. Have you reviewed Sellvana? Its co-founder is the former lead technical architect of Magento. I wonder, if he has managed to avoid overengineering this time They've done some webinars: Theming Module development An early review from a Magento perspective
  20. Well, this looks like another piece in the puzzle for anyone interested in building a forum in PW: flag spam posts and users
  21. I see this as really useful when migrating users from another CMS!
  22. Let's deprecate PSR-0 already http://philsturgeon.uk/blog/2014/07/deprecate-psr0
  23. PrestaShop should focus more on finishing their shiny features, i.e. actually making them work instead of having them languish in a state of brokenness for years. This bug report is a good illustration of the problem: Advanced Stock Management is a mess...
