Hi guys! Another question for you super smart guys! How exactly do we use pagestack? Here is what Im doing and trying to do... Lets say I have an article template and am viewing an article as a page. All is good here. Lets say I have a video template. Each page of this video template holds the markup about one video on youtube. I can view each page here and all i see is a page title and the video. All is good here. So, what I am doing is I am using a page reference field in my article template so that I can select and render a video inside my articles. So.... within the markup of my article template, conceptually I am calling in a video into it like this.... echo $pages->get(1169)->render('./markup/pages/pg_Video_Element.php'); This works great! Now.... what I would like to do is this... I would like the video template to be able to retrieve and echo out the article pages that are "requesting"the video page. Unfortunately there are only a few mentions of pagestack, but there is not a worked out example that shows how we actually implement it! Would it be something like echo $pages->get(1169)->render('./lib/markup/foundation/pages/pg_Video_Element.php', ['pageStack']); Or something else? I would be really grateful if someone could show me what would the correct syntax or way of writing in pagestack into our render request as an option.... and how we might write out an expression to retrieve and use it on the other end! Cheers guys!

Ok horst and teppo... My head was spinning at first as I couldn't work out how to make my selector = child pages in the line below: $max = intval($pages->find("$yourSelector, limit=2")->getTotal() So what I did was: $currentPage = $page->id; then $max = intval($pages->find("parent=$currentPage, limit=2")->getTotal() / $maxPerPage); That got me my child pages and thus my $max value. The next problem I had was the next page link wasn't displaying a page number. This turned out to be here after some headscratching.... $next = $cur<$max ? $cur + 1 : false; When I changed the less than sign < to less than or equals <=, then that got it to work! Next thing was I didnt want to see "page1" on any of the urls. And so I set up a switch arrangment to provide me with the exact markup / structure that I wanted....a major reason why I love processWire !!! I have some ideas you see ... but not the skills like many of you great helpful guys here..... Anyway.... this is what I have come up with so far.... no coffee yet... but will have that right after posting this.... and drinks later tonight! // SEO - CANONICAL & REL SECTION: $maxPerPage = 10; $currentPage = $page->id; $curPageNum = $input->pageNum; $max = intval($pages->find("parent=$currentPage, limit=2")->getTotal() / $maxPerPage); // limit = 2 so it is fast and uses less memory! $next = $curPageNum <= $max ? $curPageNum + 1 : false; $prev = $curPageNum > 1 ? $curPageNum - 1 : false; switch ($input->pageNum){ case '1': echo "<link rel='canonical' href='$page->httpUrl'>\n"; if(false!==$next) echo "<link rel='next' href='$page->httpUrl" . 'page' . "$next" . "/'>\n"; break; case '2': echo "<link rel='canonical' href='$page->httpUrl" . 'page' . "$curPageNum/'>\n"; if(false!==$prev) echo "<link rel='prev' href='$page->httpUrl'>\n"; if(false!==$next) echo "<link rel='next' href='$page->httpUrl" . 'page' . "$next" . "/'>\n"; break; default: echo "<link rel='canonical' href='$page->httpUrl" . 'page' . "$curPageNum/'>\n"; if(false!==$prev) echo "<link rel='prev' href='$page->httpUrl" . 'page' . "$prev" . "/'>\n"; if(false!==$next) echo "<link rel='next' href='$page->httpUrl" . 'page' . "$next" . "/'>\n"; break; } So horst, thanks so much for helping out! Teppo thanks for coming in. If you guys were here I would buy you a nice cup of coffee! Cheers guys! Thanks a bunch!

Hi horst! Many thanks for this horst! I was looking at php's mathematical functions and the modulus operator and did come across getTotal() in the API. But couldn't workout how to arrange them to do the necessary last page check I needed. I see above that you use intval. I have never ever come across that before horst! It kinda seems to be exactly what I was looking to try and do with all the above mentioned items. Yay! I still don't fully understand how your code works just yet. But that's good! I'm going to go and have some lunch, find a good cafe somewhere where they serve both some good coffee and some good Shiraz. I shall start with the coffee, a good mechanical pencil, some paper and start to figure this one out step by step and expand my brains internal processing functions. Hopefully I can take my brain from a 386 to a 486 Then reward my self with some Shiraz! Or ask you for a little more assistance... Cheers horst!

Hi guys! Hope someone can advise me with this! Very very new teritory for me this one... Ok... So I have a template that is used as a parent to display children... As there will be many children, results will be limited to 10 per page i.e. $posts = $page->children("limit=10,sort=-sort"); We will want to see the next set of 10 results of course so we call on our pager to advance to the next page... So $pagination = $posts->renderPager() sorts this out for us. So far so good. Ok.. so in my sites <head> document I want it to look like this.... <link rel="canonical" href="http://site.com/parent/page3/" /> <link rel="prev" href="http://site.com/parent/page2/" /> <link rel="next" href="http://site.com/parent/page4/" /> So I have found two helpful items in our beloved API: $page->httpUrl which will gives us the href="http://site.com/parent/ part needed. $input->pageNum which will tell us if we are on page2 or page3 etc. Lets say that we have a situation where there are 45 child page results. Well, we ourselves know that we will end up having 5 pages of results. So there will be parent parent/page2 parent/page3 parent/page4 parent/page5 My question is, when I am on parent/page5, which is the last page of results, how can I programatically determine that there is not a parent/page6? If I can determine this, then on parent/page5 i would be able to output this in my <head>. Note the absence of rel = 'next' <link rel="canonical" href="http://site.com/parent/page5/" /> <link rel="prev" href="http://site.com/parent/page4/" /> So if any of you have any ideas on how I would be able to test that I have come to the last page, I would be most grateful! Unfortunately, I have never ever worked with counters and modulus and so am somewhat at a loss as what is the best way to work this one out! Any help ideas etc most welcome!

Doh... Solved my own problem.... Changed this... foreach($page->comments as $comment) To this... foreach($comments as $comment) Sorry for diverting you here... but thanks for looking! Here is what I have ended up with... // DISPLAY PAGINATED COMMENTS $limit = 10; // comments to display per page $start = ($input->pageNum-1) * $limit; $selector = "page=$page, sort=-created, start=$start, limit=" . ($limit+1); // find the comments. replace "comments" with the name of your comments field $comments = FieldtypeComments::findComments("comments", $selector); // output the comments foreach($comments as $comment) { if($comment->status < 1) continue; // skip unapproved or spam comments $cite = htmlentities($comment->cite); // make sure output is entity encoded $text = htmlentities($comment->text); $date = date('m/d/y g:ia', $comment->created); // format the date echo "<p>Posted by $cite on $date<br />$text</p>"; } // output the pagination links if($input->pageNum > 1) echo "<a href='./page" . ($input->pageNum-1) . "'>Back</a> "; if(count($comments) > $limit) echo "<a href='./page" . ($input->pageNum+1) . "'>Next</a>"; Thanks guys

Hey Guys Hopefully one of gents can help me with a question... Earlier in this thread, Ryan submitted this really helpful code snippet that enabled us to paginate our comments list... $limit = 20; // comments to display per page $start = ($input->pageNum-1) * $limit; $selector = "page=$page, sort=-created, start=$start, limit=" . ($limit+1); // find the comments. replace "comments" with the name of your comments field $comments = FieldtypeComments::findComments("comments", $selector); // output the comments echo $comments->render(); // output the pagination links if($input->pageNum > 1) echo "<a href='./page" . ($input->pageNum-1) . "'>Back</a> "; if(count($comments) > $limit) echo "<a href='./page" . ($input->pageNum+1) . "'>Next</a>"; The above snippet will generate a paginated list of comments using the standard render functions output..... This works great! Ryan also gave us another great snippet that enabled us to help generate our own custom html output... foreach($page->comments as $comment) { if($comment->status < 1) continue; // skip unapproved or spam comments $cite = htmlentities($comment->cite); // make sure output is entity encoded $text = htmlentities($comment->text); $date = date('m/d/y g:ia', $comment->created); // format the date echo "<p><strong>Posted by $cite on $date</strong><br />$text</p>"; This work great too! My question is to all you helpful gents is... how do we merge these two snippets together such that we have pagination of comments along with our own custom output? Thanks guys!

PW 2.4 - Is image upload resizing working for you guys?
Zahari M. replied to Zahari M.'s topic in General Support
After a bit of digging around, the issue was my instance of MAMP needed more memory for the resizing transaction to work as it should. This thread and Ryans suggestion of bumping up the memory limit from 32M to 256M got it working for me... http://processwire.com/talk/topic/2357-image-upload-gettings-stuck-on-100 Cheers guys! -
PW 2.4 - Is image upload resizing working for you guys?
Zahari M. replied to Zahari M.'s topic in General Support
Thanks apeisa! I will upload to a couple of live servers and see. Must be something on my machine... Cheers -
Hi Guys! Is it just my Mac that's gone wonky, me or PW? I am developing a few sites locally on my mavericks Mac and Mamp and after changing over to PW 2.4 the image field is not working as it should. What I have found is that if we set a Maximum Width for uploaded images, then if we try uploading any images, they do upload and resize ( as you can see them in the page id's folder via finder) but they are not visible or detectable in our ProcessWire admin screen. I have tried this in Firefox and Chrome and it's not working as it should.... Anyone else seeing this behaviour? Cheers

Hi Kongondo Thanks for the reply and assistance. Much appreciated mate! Renaming the classes is what I needed. Cheers!

Happy new year guys! Hope one of you might be able to help me with this snag... Like Kent above, I would like to modify the html and css of the comment form. Rather then modify the core one, I wanted to make a copy of the core version and run off that for the PW blog profile. Following the example above, this is what I did after creating and placing a copy of the core comments form... // render our blog post and comments include("./CommentFormCustom.php"); $form = new CommentFormCustom($page, $page->comments); $content = renderPosts($page) . $form->render() . renderNextPrevPosts($page); Once I do this, I get the following error message: Compile Error: Cannot redeclare class CommentFormInterface (line 24 of /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/pwblog.dev/site/templates/CommentFormCustom.php) Any ideas what I did wrong or how I can solve this? Running latest version of 2.3 Dev Cheers!

Hi everfreecreative I actually don't have much to say on the boxes in boxes thing as it isn't something that actually troubles me! By adding 3 or 2px radius in the right spots and selecting appropriately colored borders, panels, headers and playing with wrapper widths in my own themes, I find little that disturbs me in this area, personally at least. I have found that as the dev version moved from 3.6? to 3,8? some styling things had changed. And a little change can have a big effect. So depending on which version and which colors, you and I might have been looking a totally different things. Definitely on the last one, some important borders changed from a light transluscent blue to a light gray and it changed my perception considerably. And for the better. But whilst I did want to answer your question, I hope you understand that I want to leave all talk of issues of styling behind me now. I'll just do my own thing. As to extra line height issue, my personal thoughts are something like this... if your dealing with a short single line of text like a one or two word title, it makes little difference whatever you set it to. But when it will be expected to wrap over 3 lines of text, then line height becomes extremely important. I personally like line heights in the region of 1.1 to 1.25 depending on the font and it's size. Currently it was set to 1.6. Often I will set a unique line height for each 10/11px, 13px, 14px 15 px and 16px sizes on my client themes as I believe that it makes for heightened readability. I also play with letter spacing and color shade a lot to find the ideal presentation for each of the various functional pieces of text. It's like a Formula 1 setup. Critical attention to every minute little detail collectively matters a great deal. One of the few things I always do or now did with the old admin theme, which with one or two tweaks, I really liked the old admin theme BTW!, is change the line height of the description text as I found the default at 1.3 to be too much especially when you use it in the context of say a 30% widget. I will leave you with these screen shots that reflect my somewhat different philosophy on line height. I think I can guess which one 99% this tough crowds sympathies will choose.... hee hee! I will say thous that I set this one up first pass. I have not optimised mine yet as I was working on so many things at once. But Im happy to say my table styles are around the 90% mark to being finished. To me the standard 1.6 line height and the soft cells ( Heh heh any new wave teens here remember Soft Cell !!? ) are taking it towards almost a wall of text. Given the right i.e wrong display characteristics of the viewers device, these border might not even be seen! Again I say, like I said before in all my other posts, these are just my opinions. It can also be considered to be way too crammed and too vertically concise. It's all perception yes? As for WillyC, I give you full creative license to take my latest screenshot and make whatever edits you want and post them up here. For the rest of you, you obviously enjoyed laughing at them. And so in the true Christmas spirit, please have a great laugh at my latest screenshot for WillyC. Let's see what he can come up with ! I'll leave the closing remarks for Joss and let's all hope for something as positively sterling as the last one in true English fashion... Consider it my sporting Chirstmas gift to you all. So everfreecreative, thank you kindly for your taking the time to comment constructively. That's very kind of you. Merry Christmas to you! Btw, some many years ago I got myself printed a box of business cards. I was very happy with the design and all my friends loved them. Out of chance I happened to show them to an old family friend and little did I know that he came from a real old school traditional printing background circa early 60's. He even set up a printing school here in Malaysia in the 80's. It had like 4 4 color Heidelberg printing presses and 30 other printing presses. He gave me such a shelling when he saw them and told me what an absolute utter piece of crap my card was. It was a pivotal moment for me and I took it positively and took the the opportunity to learn, own my own, the subteties of typography and am ever so grateful to him that he did what he did. It's a life long journey but at least I have made some progree and continue to do so. My own personal journey is now focusing on trying to give discreet elements a little more vertical breathing space. I tend to make some things just a little too close together. Manfred 62. Thank you for your comment and focus on the idea rather then the presentation. If you'd like I would be happy to give you the link to download it and examine it and see where you can take it and what you would adjust. It was designed as a rather neutral starting point. Just PM me. Merry Christmas to you too! Are you a German in Germany? Do you ever get to listen to any of the Bach or Telemann Cantatas live? If you do, do pm me and let me know what it's like. I managed to listen to a Handel one in Sydney which was a wonderful opportunity. But I'd love to experience a Bach one! And thanks to the kind gentleman who sent me a very encouraging PM. Im out of this thread now and wont be back into this particular one. So no more questions please. But I will be back in some new ones next year to ask for help. See you guys then. Merry xmas and a happy new year to all! God Bless

Hi Ryan Thanks for your reply. My apologies if it had come across that I was in any way trying to impose my theme on you or Processwire or anyone here. That really was not my intention. I only just installed the dev version a week ago. If you read your closing line of your opening post for this thread, where I quoted you, i assumed that it meant that alternatives could be discussed and critique could be given. In fairness to me, I would argue that it would not be wrong to have read in and assumed an invitation of sorts was extended to come up with alternatives and explain why I do not like it. There is a slight ambiguity in what was asked... On reflection after your reply above, you did say your trying to keep the project scope fairly small and I can readily accept your point of view and that you wanted to run with what you have. Thats cool Ryan! All I wanted would have been for some people to actually try it out and see some of the things I was trying to achieve to collaborate on ideas to improve things. Another was to fix some issue that when you drill down into certain panels in the admin, there are some missing styes such that tables appear to be right up against the header in some panels. Some icons are not lining up and so I tried to line them up / position them better. Better positional coherence when traversing down into the system. Sadly I found the response and actions of some here unnecesarily discouraging Ryan... Contributing here is clearly not an activity best suited to me! But I'm still thrilled as ever to be a ProcessWire user! Merry Christmas to you and your family Ryan God bless

Hi Guys If these are the kind of responses that I get, then I'm the one who is obviously living in a world of my own. No problems. I shall just be quiet and cease to offer any further suggestions to the ProcessWire community as to what i think of things. Little point when your met with ridicule by fellow members when trying to offer possible improvements. Apologies for speaking my mind out and possibly having offended some of you. Fear not. It won't be happening again. Still, merry christmas and a happy new year to all of you guys.

Hi Guys! Festive mood is definitely in the air! They are playing Chirstmas songs everywhere in all the shopping centres here in Kuala Lumpur! Anyways, just want to share with you my thoughts on the current admin theme here. Quite simply put I don't like it at all and I think it's visually a step back from the old theme. Now, I would like to add that I truly believe that 99% of you here are incredibly more capable here than I am. I really struggle with all of this web stuff. It just does not come naturally to me as I am more from an engineering / electronics / audio / automotive background. So I'm more used to spanners and resistors and turntables.... not coding! Having said that, I use my Mac extensively and have purchased quite a few programs for it and so I would say that in a month, I would come across 30 different computing software interfaces. And before settling on ProcessWire, I had looked at and installed many many CMS's over many years. So, whilst I may not be technically competent to be commenting, I have enough first hand user experience to confidently say to myself that the current theme here doesn't inspire me at all. Perhaps it's just me, but when I look at tables for example, I like to see that all the cells have borders. When I see borders in some places but not others, I begin to feel that somethings broken. The line height used in the table field is excessive making it less easy to read and further reinforces the point. One thing I note that is prominent in this theme is that to create seperation between zones, strongly contrasting colors are engaged. An example would be the radiused nav tabs in the mast head. When you have such high contrasts like this, any 1px borders used become very difficult to see. Sometimes these borders end up creating a sense of blur between the two contrasting color regions and you can end up with a fuzzy look! The end result is a somewhat undefined nav setup to my eyes at least. Elsewhere in the theme these neighbouring contrasty colors dont look too good either lacking in definition. And by using the philosophy of incorporating strong color regions, what can be a lovely pair of colors on the designers screen can end up to be a really cheesy color scheme in front of thousands of end users around the world due to a world full of uncalibrated screens. On the old admin theme, the magenta bar on black that signified which nav item you were currently on or hovering over was very sharp and precise and covered the whole vertical region. So to me the current arrangement is a step back. Then there is the issue of the drop down. I may be too fussy here, but the resultant dropdown styling just doesnt match the character of the masthead nav tabs. And so it's these little things like this and the "incomplete" table stylings that all add up as you traverse the admin site and make this theme appear incoherent and unpolished and makes me feel like it's a little broken. My next issue is that the fields / panels should not be in one continuous vertical stream. They should have some spacing between them. The styling of the text, headers, content panels etc to me is also in need of some improvement as when you click edit on a page, you are smacked with this massive wall of text. To the uninitiated, they wouldn't know what is what. What is needed here is to carefully select colors, font sizes, spacing etc to try and do two things subconsciously. One, signify at a glance that there are various unique field sets on the page and make it easy to differentiate them instantly. Two, once the fielset has been identified, help funnel ones eyes into the input fields so that they can focus readily on the cursor and be able to type things in and are not bothered or distracted by any surrounding text / colors / contrasts etc. I could go on. But I'll stop here. My comments here are not to criticize. Please don't take them as crticisms as they're not meant to be. I say again, all of you are way more skilled and knowledgable and capable then I will ever be in web dev. And I can see the incredible amount of work that you guys and Ryan have put into this. So why am I bringing this up? Well, for one simple reason. ProcessWire the tool is world class. Ryans world class. You guys the community are world class. But this theme as it stands isn't world class... and I myself would like it to be world class too. Now, perhaps I am the only one who thinks that this theme, as it currently stands, sucks. There. I've said it! Maybe the rest of you and the world thinks its world class. Then that's ok. I apologise if my comments offend anyone. But I do believe that it's very important and would like to not go with popular opinion and instead truly speak my mind and try and make a difference. I'm extremely happy accepting that I am the one who is lacking here and am unable to appreciate what many people appreciate as a very fine theme. Anyways, talk is cheap. And so with my admittedly limited abilities, I have tried taking this theme in a very different aesthetic direction. Perhaps some things in it might interest you. Perhaps not. I think many of you might find it very dull, boring, uninspiring. I've spent a lot of time in WordPress admin, and so I lean more towards their styistic conventions and colors rather then the ProcessWire conventions and colors. The idea here was to create a very different starting point for ProseeWire admin themes. It is of course my hope to see the current admin theme converge towards these admitedly Wordpress inspired stylistic conventions and directions. Wishful thinking of course! But no harm right? Anyways, it's fast approaching Christmas guys. It's been a great year and I would like to wish all you fabulous guys a very merry christmas and a happy new year! I've learnt so much from many of you and would like to thank many of the regulr guys who have helped me out here. Cheers guys!

Hi Guys Just an alternative point of view... I have a client that manages his ProcessWire website from his iPhone. I'm sure there are other people who will be managing their sites from some mobile device or another. The fact that the admin theme is responsive would mean that we need to be making steps towards catering to an increasing number of clients who wish to do more admin work / content creation via their mobile devices. Given that more and more clients will be using a mobile device, it becomes increasingly important to ensure that our sites work well on these devices. And look consistent between them too. If you go to WebINK, they say that it's no longer safe to assume that the traditional web safe font stack offers you protection as there are mobile devices out there that simply do not have the traditional web safe fonts such as Georgia, Times New Roman etc. So I think what is most important is to design an admin theme around a web font that has line height and size characteristics that match the traditional popular "desktop available" fonts. I personally think that Arimo is a pretty good choice. The reason is that it matches Arial incredibly closely. Nearly all computers will have Arial. I have found that this is a very legible font at small sizes, obviouly is optimized to work great on windows machines. And so if you can design and get the theme to work well on Arimo, you can switch this font out later and insert in many other fonts that have similar typographical charateristics and have to do little to no extra work setting things up. And by switching to normal font weight for larger font sizes, I have managed to make the ProcessWire admin end look very presentable in Arial / Arimo. So I have styled and sized and line heighted everything based on Arimo / Arial and got everything relatively pleasing in ratio to each other.... I know that I have a font - webfont combination that will work and work well on a large number of devices and thus offer clients a "well adjusted" admin interface that works well and consistently on a really large number of computer and mobile devices. But, as WebINK alludes to, dont assume everything will have Arial on it. In cases where the device doesnt, we have the webfont Arimo to the rescue. And it is so very very close to Arial in terms of size spacing line height etc. And so, I'm really happy with Arimo being included. Admitedly in the current implementation in the admin theme, I think Arimo is not shown to its best advantage. But I have managed to get it to work well, in my opinion and for my tastes Here's a screen shot of the modules view and what the drop down looks like using Arimo in my work in progress Majini Admin theme. If I switch the font to Arial, the two are alomost almost indistinguishable. So to me one key aspect to selecting a default font is that it must have a "popular" desktop version appearing on many devices, and a webfont version that is free that matches it's typographic characteristics. So I do see some good merits in seeing Arimo. The only thing I would do after adjusting things is swap the order and offer Arial first, followed by Arimo, then sans-serif. One other reason I like Arial / Arimo as a base to design upon is that when it comes to getting webfonts, Myfonts allow you to configure a few things when you download the webfonts that you bought. So when you download them, you can get them to match your webfonts line-height to a small selection of common "Microsoft" fonts, Arial being one of the few on that list. The reason I place a lot of emphasis on line-height is that some classy / heritage fonts like Futura have very different size and line-height characteristics such that they require judicious use of css to get them to match up to things. Still, I readily concede that many of you may really dislike Arial and Arimo and that the above is all irrelevant. Just my 2 cents.. Cheers Guys!

Hi Guys! I have been looking at PW Admin Themes for quite a while now. As most of you can appreciate, taste is a somewhat personal thing. Looking at the many themes that have been presented here in the forums and the highly positive comments ( and deservedly so ) that they recieve, I can only surmise that I have very different taste in things and am perhaps in an extreme minority here. And so the following theme being presented here will most probably have very little appeal to 99% of you. So consider this one as one for the 1% non-conformists of you over here ! This theme is 99% based on the outstanding Unify Admin Theme by Adam Spruijt. See here: http://processwire.com/talk/topic/3901-release-unify-admin-theme/ I loved the immediately apparent HTML structure of Adam's theme and decided to just add an extra stylesheet to overide a thing or two and added a few backgrounds here and removed a few backgrounds there... My criteria for an admin theme is that I can stare willingly at it the whole day, day after day, week after week. Most themes here are just way too stark and contrasty in this particular area imo and so this might help explain the color pallete I developed for this theme. Oh... by the way, I work on a Non Retina Maverickded MacBook Air 13" in Firefox and so I know it looks just fine in that No ideas about what you'll see in other environments! This is also the first time I'm putting something up using Git and GitHub. Quite clueless about all this. https://github.com/Majini/Majini-PWadmintheme I've only spent just under a day on this, so Im sure there are a few buttons and places I've missed where the styles / color pallete are not completely applied. Anyhows... hope it is of use to someone and or their clients out there. Cheers And thanks Adam!!!

Yep diogo, Myfonts is pretty cool! I'm not sure if it's because I had bought some webfonts from them and thus am a paying customer, but when I sign in to the MyFonts site, you are given the ability to temporarily try any of their webfonts on your website by including a javascript snippet customized for each webfont you want to try out. Very useful to see how it looks on your own web pages! Anyways, the font family mentioned above is truly an absolute bargain. Glad you liked it and thanks for editing the links Diogo! Happy designing!

Hi Guys For those of you that care somewhat about typography, I would like to share with you a great deal that is going on right now until December the 8th I believe: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/nootype/radikal/ This is an excelent font family. It is very similar in nature to Futura. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futura_%28typeface%29 I bought the complete webfont family and the acompanying desktop fonts. 14 webfonts makes the set and thats 30 USD 14 desktop fonts makes the set and thats 30 USD What myfonts offer is a further discount if you buy a webfont and it's accompanying desktop font. So I got 28 fonts for USD 45!! In many ways, I think it's preferable to Futura. Futura has this unwanted ( to me ) characteristic that for a given font size, its noticeably smaller in pixel size compared to other fonts. The fonts above avoid this issue in that they are very similar in pixel size to other traditional fonts. We can also download these webfonts in varying line heights. For those that are on a tight budget, grab the standard weight webfont "Radikal" at 6 USD. It's perfect for H1 to H6 usage. As if you'd really know that I didn't work for myfonts Happy designing guys! Zahari

Hi Guys I'm sure some of you will know this. But for those that don't..... There was a wonderful event hosted here in Kuala Lumpur yesterday by Amazon Web Services. Amongst the many things they showed us was a service they call Glacier. I'm glad I attended! Cost? $0.01 per gigabyte per month! http://aws.amazon.com/glacier/ Perfect for archiving your digital library! Hope it helps someone! Cheers

Strangely, i too have developed a great fondness for rsync as "it just bloody works !!" Have downloaded that app you linked to @alanfluff and will have a play. Perhaps its a good baby step towards learning how to use all those rsync options in the man pages? Shall see... Speaking of which, I found this to be a really great and accessible link / reference to all the unix commands on a Mac: http://ss64.com/osx/

Hi Guys! Earlier last week I was asking about Linode here.I was reading up on how to setup a Linode and was going to sign up. But whilst searching on Google, something caught my eye.... Digital Ocean. 20GB SSD 512MB Memory. https://www.digitalocean.com/ I signed up and it's been great playing around with my first box! They take paypal and so I just popped in $10 dollars and this will of course let me play for a couple of months. What a perfect way to learn! I installed Ubuntu 12.04 as this was what diogo suggested to me in the Linode thread and to give you an idea of what resources Digital Ocean offer, I've gotten this great Ubuntu listing link to give you an idea of what you can do / have some hand holding with... https://www.digitalocean.com/community/community_tags/ubuntu Hope this helps someone! Cheers guys!

Another tip for anyone working with the PW Foundation theme.... You might want to add this into your stylesheet: body{-webkit-text-size-adjust:100%} On my iPhone 4S I needed to add this to stop the text enlarging when going from potrait to landscape.

Ahah... What you say makes great sense Adrian about grabbing the bigger / biggest one so that we can subsequently resize it smaller should the need arise. Thanks again Adrian!
