NoDice

Thank you Bernhard - since Ivan also had the same experience, I will certainly think about making it shorter. With my mouse, or with two finger scroll on a macbook with chrome or firefox, it is really easy and short, but, yea, many desktop mouse-wheels will need a lot of scrolling so thanks for letting me know.

Thanks again Ivan for you quick clarification! I changed the circle to text now, hope that is clearer. Unfortunately, all the mobile sims I have seen does not get it right. It should look ok on actual mobile devices running modern browsers. However, some of the phone makers own browsers can't deal with vh-viewport sizing, while chrome does. An example is that older Samsung phone's browsers don't get it right, while the new Samsung browser in galaxy 6 does - and chrome always gets it right. So time should work in favor of the site here – and the big ones should work (have not tried blackberry since it is so minute here in Scandinavia). To deal with all the different phones, I call different css:s for different phone-platforms. So hopefully it should look ok in most. This is a compromise since I could not keep the same look and feel if i did a normal responsive site like our regular business site linked above. Anyway, I am quite happy with this compromise given that I have seen scroll sites from very big corporations either mess up completely on most mobile platforms, or have a completely different "mobile site"-look. Hope that makes some sense.

Thanks so much for feedback Ivan, I really appreciate it. 1) Yea, that is a problem with different scrolling devices, on some (like my mouse) it is just a few spins. Same on most two finger-scroll pads. So very hard to get it to work well for everything - if it is slow you can however always grab the scollbar so it seems better to make it work well for quicker devices. Granted, this is a problem for most if not all scroll-sites. A side note is that I will be sure let my colleague know he is now "the bearded businessman" - love that! 2) It bops a bit to indicate scrolling, and a lot of scroll sites go only with an arrow, so I did as well. Might change that for text though as I have felt it looks like a button too, or just remove it and hope people figure it out. 3) Hmm, I have not noticed that, will give it some more testing. The site is not fast though since I have gone with graphics that should look good in full screen on bigger screens, and I have not yet optimized for speed. For a more temporary I site of this kind, I may just leave it. The skrollr-scripts means I have to do a reload on resize though, that is unfortunate, but necessary for the page to look ok after resize. 4) Not sure what you mean here, would love to get some more info (or a screen shot).

OK, so this is still not 100% ready, but as my second PW-project I have completed a showcase site for a new product of ours with the help of skrollr-script. Of course, the PW-administration of this site is not the main focus since this site is not expected to change much (it is a temporary thing), but it is still nice to just be able to turn the whole presentation site on and off with a checkbox (when unchecked, everything goes back to a normal site like our regular business site). The presentation site (note that it should be viewed in a large window on a high res desktop or laptop system to have the full skrollr-functionality kick in, also it will be turned off in Safari since their rendering of fixed position objects is so poor): www. tend for .com/en Our regular PW business site: www. rele vo .se/en Omit the spaces. Any feedback or pointers as far as improvements would be much appreciated!

This appears to still be the case (tried updating to latest stable version and latest dev-version). It is a major issue since everything crashes as soon as I try to add another language. I can't reach admin and the site itself breaks. If you don't feel comfortable messing with the SQL-data manually, is there any idea how/if/when this might get resolved?

Love the way it is presented on a large hi-res screen (2560*1440 in my case). I believe this is where web-design is heading and fast - the 960-gridders and templates are hopefully a dying breed over time, as the design does not look good even on the now default 1080p desktop screens, IMO. Great work - amazing objects and craftsmanship to display must have made it more fun to realize - and thanks for sharing!

Love the look, very clean and nice, really good job!

Very Cool!

Love the look! Will probably get some inspiration here as I continue to develop our site. Great work!

Now also powered by ProCache - thanks a lot for your help with our quirky hosting environment Ryan! The work you put in on PW, and to help us get it to work to the fullest of its fantastic potential is nothing short of amazing! I would urge everyone that haven't already done so, to try this plugin, and in minutes release the speed potential of the sites we put so much time and effort into creating.

Thanks for those kind words Ryan and Craig. Coming from you guys, it really means a lot to me, being an admin guy taking my first whack at this. And thanks a lot for taking another look at the texts Craig!

Thanks for this tip! Used it on my first site (also put it in the Showcase section of the forum) and I love the responsive clean out-of-the-box design and zoom functionality. Only use it for news item pictures so far, but will find more use for it for sure.

Very nice and clean - great work!

I have now gone "live" at the permanent address: re le vo DOT se/en (DNS may still not be updated from all hosts). Some items remain to be translated (like the banner texts and most of the news items) but since you asked before Craig; I would now be very happy about any errors or awkward wording that you may spot. Of course, a lot of work remain with this site (I have not yet done work on adaptation for old browsers and I hope to implement a lot of new content sections and functions) but even at this early stage, it would be great to know how you think the design, responsiveness and such work. Since I opted to go at it from scratch, without templates and such, feedback on stuff like that would be awesome. And thanks once again for all the valuable help from you, fellow PW:ers!

Yea, Ericsson have already done the same, and is now all about their telecom network infrastructure, and I don't think they miss the phones much. Kind of like Volvo and Saab/Scania mother companies getting rid of the car divisions to focus on where they have actually made a lot of money over the years (trucks, buses and such). Could end up making Nokia much stronger over the long haul, let's hope so. I recently had the pleasure of playing golf with the guy who has had the Nokia distribution in Finland for many years. The last few have been tough, but I think he has seen enough sunshine to make it through a few rainy days without much sorrow.

I looked again and I realized you meant the links owzim, and yea, I decided to have them in different places (particularly on the news item they are at the bottom aligned left so that the text lines up with the other text). Probably makes sense to change that to make it more uniform, even though I think I will leave them on the bottom for the accordion for space reasons. Thanks for the tip! ** Edit - Fixed it now owzim, and also fixed the last few pages so now the design is pretty much done for the first version. Should do content and testing and tidying next week and release. Will keep adding functionality over the coming months if things go as planned **

Thanks owzim, and thanks a lot for your help on ordering! Yea, I wanted the "breaking news" section to be kind of a "mess" among the orderly other parts to convey the newspaper feel of breaking events. Hence, I went with differing sizes of images and an option to set the size of news-items in 25, 50, 75 and 100% in the admin. You also set the number of items shown on the home-page and the number of words before truncation ("read more" links) in the admin since I wanted all of that to be server side. Won't be perfect, but won't weigh down the client either. If someone has a better way to do it (lines I guess would rock, but I don't think I want to do fixed sizes), I am certainly open to suggestions. Here is the code I am using now: $news_text ="{$newspost->body_01}"; $read_more = wire("pages")->get("/news/")->read_more_01; if (wire("page")->news_item_max_01) { $max_length = wire("page")->news_item_max_01; } else { $max_length = 75; } $words = preg_split("/[\n\r\t ]+/", $news_text, $max_length + 1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY|PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE); if (count($words) > $max_length) { end($words); $last_word = prev($words); $news_text_trc = substr($news_text, 0, $last_word[1] + strlen($last_word[0])); $punctuation = ".!?:;,-"; $news_text_trc = (strspn(strrev($news_text_trc), $punctuation)!=0) ? substr($news_text_trc, 0, -strspn(strrev($news_text_trc), $punctuation)) : $news_text_trc; $news_text_trc .= "..."; $news_text_trc .= "<a href='{$newspost->url}'> $read_more »</a>"; $news_text_out = $news_text_trc; } else { $news_text_out = $news_text; }

Well now you and all the pw-members have my address - whenever in Stockholm, please abuse it - lunch, beer or whatever shall be on me for any supporters of pw! All the best, //dice

Tack, är du också från Sverige Kongondo?

Thanks Craig, No, at this point, the English is just stuff I typed down in a hurry to show the multi-language principle. Once we are set on the content (and it passes our local language reviews), I would love the feedback though! I will let you know.

I promised I would share my summer-project when I got a bit further along and now most of basic design is up on the test server (still just test content though, only some of it will be there in production). Two pages remain to be styled and some minor touch-ups are left for sure, but the gist of the simple design should be visible. Clean Scandinavian has been the motto. Will update to publishable version over the coming week/weeks. I will also clean up the code and do some validation fixing etc during that time. Any suggestions, pointers and tips from you pros would be much appreciated (tough love is the ticket). Keep in mind that I am not a pro and that apart from a sole static site I helped a buddy with 10 years ago, this is my first attempt at any of this (html, design, php, cms etc), so spare me the sharpest ax. A testament to the Processwire excellence - and to all of you helpful souls on this page - is that I have been able to get at least this far with no prior experience, so I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Ryan, Soma, Teppo and all the rest of you that have helped form this product in general, and taken the time to help me out on specific questions. You truly rock! re le vo DOT se/en

I actually solved it, putting sort=sort after the checkbox sort. Worked well. Kind of strange that the checkbox reversed the order (did not matter if if I inverted what it did, still did not work until I found the sort=sort). Tomorrow, I will get to work on trying to get the business-area page going with your other suggestion - thanks again!

Actually, my question remains after some more checking. I want the foreach to order the same way the child pages are presented in the admin - with the exception that I want the non-checked items first (both checked and non checked ordered as in the admin but the non-checked group first). When I sort by checked, it puts the ones that are checked last the way I want, but the other items are sorted in reverse order compared to admin. Any idea why that might be, and what I can do about it?

Will try that Owzim! Edited out the other part, I was confusing myself trying to make the changes (forgetting I removed my manual ordering-#)! Will get back if I can't sort it out. Thanks again!

Thanks owzim (you answered when I was typing my last reply)! I have to ponder that. The thing is, the point has been that the accordion is created dynamically with the creation of new business areas. I have predefined a number of colors that will never be exceeded in css that will set the color for a new business-area when created (based on the order-number class). The color is used on the front page accordion as well (no problem there as the order number will be the same if I sort on checkbox (meaning the ones that are ticked will come first). The real problem is the page where I just have the one business area, that is the one I can't really figure out (without doing iterations there as well and hiding the ones I don't need).
