Yes, I know you can put a module together to achieve something similar, but (1) it's much faster and easier to do it with Lister Pro, (2) it's more flexible, and (3) I do want to support the development of Processwire, which has become an indispensable tool for me, and a pleasure to use. I don't really need other pro modules such as Form Builder (it's not too hard to build forms from the API) o the Pro Fields (regular fields are sufficient most of the time), but they do add simplicity, convenience and enhance productivity -- which is one reason why I bought these other two modules. Another important reason is because I'd like Ryan to keep dedicating as much time as possible to PW development, and these are just small tokens of my gratitude to his dedication, amazing work and constant willingness to help others. And finally, I'll take this opportunity to thank the other forum moderators and contributors who keep this community so alive and friendly, and keep beefing up PW funcionality with new modules. In any case, LostKobrakai, I know you meant to highlight PW's flexibility (you can build your own modules to add funcionality), and not discourage people from buying the Pro modules.

Until I bought Lister Pro, I did not fully realize how much it could increase your productivity. Working with the tree (or using the built-in search engine for quicker access) is intuitive, and I'd say fast enough in most cases, but it's a one-size-fits-all solution. With the tree, there's no easy way to group pages under different parents, or search for pages that fit one or more criteria and view and edit them quickly. Since Lister Pro is a customizable search engine, you can target with precision which criteria you'd like to use to return the pages you'd like to view and/or edit. In a few clicks, I can set up my own results in a easy-to-scan table view. You can save these results, and they show up under the "Pages" dropdown menu for quick access, which for me wasn't clear from Ryan's description of the plugin. This is incredibly powerful. Let's take an example. Let's say I run an Website showing cultural events across the US, organized by cities (New York, Washington, DC, etc.) and categories (Music, Performing arts, etc.). I have various editors. One of them would like to view only the events he's been assigned to, e.g. all music events created this year in Washington, DC. I can easily create a customizable admin view for him: The results look like this (the columns can be adjusted to your needs of course, and the editor can also filter the results even further): The editor has super quick access to his own "admin view" from here (I've called this page "Recent events" in this example): I can go ahead and create various views for each of my editors. If I work alone, I can do the same to gain quick create, view and/or edit access to whatever views I choose. I hope you can see the power of this module, and I'm not even talking about the included actions that let you manipulate the results, such as email users, exporting to CVS (very useful to export results for offline data analysis in Excel), etc.

Wow, just what the doctor ordered for a friend of mine who's a photographer. Thanks!!

Thanks, Marvin, this is really nice. Are you are using sessions to store the guest's bookmarks? If so, have you considered a cookie solution too so that visitors can come back days later and find their bookmarks again?

Done, although I would rather do this in the .htaccess file if possible so that I can quickly turn SSL on or off, and not have to do it on each and every template. Thanks again anyway.

Thanks netcarver. Forcing https in the template's URLs tab does not seem to work, at least on 2.5.4 dev.

Now that CloudFlare has free Universal SSL, I'd like to serve my site over https:// What is the recommended PW approach to do this? Is it just a matter of tweaking the .htaccess file to force https:// ? If so, how would I go about it? With one little tweak -- adding an "s" to the force "www." rewrite rule -- I can successfully redirect from http://domain.com to https://www.domain.com: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC] RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] But how should I deal with the second scenario: redirecting from http://www.domain.com to http s://www.domain.com? Everything I've tried ends up in a redirect loop.

This module seems to no longer work in 2.5. The loading image keeps spinning but no images are retrieved. Can anyone confirm this?

The root folder of my site has permissions of 755, if that's what you're referring to.

Thanks for the update, djr, but now I'm getting this error : Error: Exception: Failed to create database dump. (in /var/www/.../site/modules/ScheduleCloudBackups/ScheduleCloudBackups.module line 81)

I'm having the exact same issue as Tyssen.

Quick question: does your module enable backup to Amazon Glacier, which is cheaper than S3? http://aws.amazon.com/glacier/

Thanks guys for these helpful tips. After deleting the InputfieldPage.module translation file and recreating it using mr-fan's tip, I can now see the fields that need translation. As a bonus, I can also translate third-party module such as Map Marker (I've always wondered whether that was possible without hacking the module directly).

I'm using 2.4.5. I must be missing some language translation files then because I can't find any relevant translateable strings. Could you point me to the names of the json file(s)?

I'm using a page field with checkboxes (with the option "allow new pages to be created from field") to enable editors to select multiple tags / categories: This works as expected but the option to add new pages (the "create new") does not seem to be translatable. It seems to be hardcoded in "InputfieldPage.module". Am I missing something or should I submit a Github issue to add translation support for this option?

Thanks Adrian for looking into it and tracking down the bug. As efficient as always! You've saved me many times before. I will try your hack while Ryan gets a chance to fix this. And yes, I would appreciate it if you could open a bug report on GitHub as I'm certain that you will explain it a lot better than I possibly could.

This module works great when I'm logged in as a superuser, when when logged out, I get the following error instead of viewing the JSON output: Error: Exception: You do not have permission to execute this module - ProcessPageSearch (in /home/[...]/public_html/wire/core/Modules.php line 458) This error message was shown because you are using the command line API. Error has been logged. I'm on 2.4.3.

I've also always shied away from unmanaged hosting and found the command line scary. Yet recently I've Digital Ocean after reading so many good things about this new company. It's actually not really unmanaged hosting since you can contact support at any time and they're pretty responsive, but you have to set up your own server (what they call droplets) from the command line. They have well-written guides and a vibrant community for just about any need you might have, and it's actually surprisingly easy and fun to customize everything to your needs. So far, I'm really impressed. Believe it or not, I'm running 5 rather low-traffic sites on a $5 dollar / month SSD VPS with 512 Megs of RAM (their cheapest plan) from their Amsterdam data center, and boy do they run fast, and with no downtime whatsoever so far. You can easily find $10 coupons on Twitter and elsewhere, so you can try them out for a couple of months free.

Thanks Adrian and Nico for these two powerful tools. I can confirm that I was able to import a WP site and was blown away by the results. This opens up a lot of professional opportunities to offer much quicker redesigns to those clients who come to me frustrated with their Wordpress sites, complaining that they have not fulfilled their expectations and were unable to grow and adapt to their business needs.

Great! Thanks guys, I'll give it a try.

A group of architects doing field and statistical research on city neighborhoods came to me to create an online database that they could edit from anywhere. PW seemed like the perfect choice since it's very easy to customize the admin to fit their needs, and they are indeed quite happy. Now, however, they'd like to have an Excel file of all the neighborhoods, one on each row, so that they can work with the data offline and produce printed documents of their research. The PW tree is organized geographically: region > city > neighborhood. In other words, each neighborhood is a page with about 40 fields (and growing). How would you guys go about it?

SadlyMistaken, I can talk to biojazzard if he'd like to keep collaborating on future updates, and how we'd do that, so that there are no two parallel translations. But for now, the most up-to-date version can be found on my Github repository. You don't need to know anything about Github by the way, just click the "Download zip" button on the right column.

Thanks biojazzard. I've gone quickly over your changes and added some more recent translations for the stable release of 2.4.0. I've created a Github repository that I plan to keep updating whenever possible: https://github.com/jacmaes/pw-spanish

It took my host almost two weeks to complete the installation, but now I have RSVG 2.40.1 installed, and it's working like a charm! The poor tiger's face is no longer destroyed when converted to PNG, and finally looking exactly like it should. This is great. Thanks again for your hard work and help, adrian. I see that you keep pushing updates (I'm on version 0.1.3).

The multi-language support is simply mind-blowing in 2.4. I've just tried it on a new site this week, and it just works out of the box.
