Whats the status on the book, chaps?

Man, installing Opencart was nice and then I wanted to install the dutch language. The readme said 'place the files under corresponding folders on the webserver'. So I did exactly that. Changing the language to Dutch displays missing field values (Admin and Opencart store) but when I check for them in the Dutch php file they are all there and defined.... wtf?! I changed settings several times but nothing seems to help. Not even reinstalling the language pack or the store files. Please HELP ... And while at it: does anyone know where to change the footer information with 'Customer service", "Extras" and "MyAccount" through the Admin area?

I would very much like to have a clear understanding of what it means to fully customize a CMS (Processwire) website to the lowest levels. What I know in general is that customizing means changing/adding custom Javascript & PHP (in other CMS's its Java/Python... or whatever). But I have not a good idea of all the things to address and in which order to do so. Start from the idea that a customer wants a fully custom website (custom logo etc etc), with a fully working webshop with payment by paypal and creditcards, full SEO optimalisation, a fast, responsive (also for mobile access) website. He provides hosting services. Products need a intro page with short description with a link to more specifications and info on the product. Access to the products via search field direct, or via the main top menu that opens on hovering over but you need to click on a subcategory to select further. Depending on the main category, the subcategories work with different filters to go to the specific product results. For each product a review can be added with a rating (standard these days). So please, if you start customizing a base PW website and template, what exactly and in what order do you do? (this as a sort of method applicable to use of other CMS's too) Thanks very much in advance!

Next to using PW I'd like to find a CMS that uses Java and that's about as close to PW's easy of use and functionality as it can get. What would you Java knowledgeable guys recommend?

I installed the module correctly and checked settings.. but no SEO tab in my pages... Did I forget something?

This is all new to me: SEO and the likes. Is there any resource to fully comprehend what this is all about and how to apply its principles within PW and other CMS's?

I have a bit of a hard time getting to grips with mobile web design, its all relatively new but mandatory these days. I guess PW is surely up to the task but I need proper guidelines, a great tutorial or a great book ref or two in order to understand and know what is need to have a fast accessible webdesign for mobiles and smartphones. use of tables is of course out of the question, but I'd very much like to know much more of whats required to achieve what I want. So what I ask your help for: some great book refs, guidelines and specific PW-related topics to make superb web mobile designs.

Wouldnt mind this Beluga.

This would be great to have in PW automatically as some flag indicator.

I havent figured out how to position the slider, but I see that the pics - while a lot bigger actually - are displayed very tiny in the slider. Cant be that these are the default settings ? Will check also Owl carousel and other options..

I must be missing something. I have done all the steps and just see a blank page loading that prints "echo $modules->get("Discussions")->render();" Please help ?

Thanks a lot! I have found the Inspector in Nightly also to help. And the config-dev php file is a very good way of testing out stuff. Cheers ! One question though: does PW indicate in some way you are working with a config-dev file and therefore working in a test environment with test config settings ?

How to position the bxslider in my page, do I set it in the bxslider CSS ? And the bxslider does not autorotate the pictures it seems. Any idea why ?

Adding the missing quote did it, obviously... Why did I not see it?! Ok, why would it matter much that the main.js is loaded before jQuery. Would that pose problems ?

I had it more or less like you have. Adding line: <!-- bxSlider Javascript file --> <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $config->urls->templates?>_scripting/JSdownloads/bxslider/jquery.bxslider.min.js></script> makes my page contents disappear. When I take it out I see my page and the pics load just one below the other, no sliding or fading.

I dont see a good way to check/inspect if my Jquery libs are correctly linked as are my CSS sheets. I want to debug step by step the PHP code. But how to organize this most efficiently ? I am a newbie I know...

I cant get Bxslider to work. I have linked the Jquery and CSS files, ok. I have put the 'Document.Ready' function call just after the linking of these files in the head.inc of my template between the <head> tags. It just clears my complete page and I dont see nothing anymore. When I take the function all out it loads fine again. I dont understand ?

Thanks all! Will check out all options.

Its rather simple I know and I know this kind of thing is already done but where to find this code and how to incorporate this on the first page?

I need to extract data from another DB outside PW and present it streamlined (sorted based on custom search input) in forms. I know SQL and all that but pls suggest what steps to consider in tackling this efficiently in the PW environment as I am still new to PW. Thanks!

Guys, do you know some great resources on SEO that explains this topic brilliantly in the context of CMS ?

I put all files in the Audio_MP3 folder but my PW does not see a new module waiting. So I cannot install it. Why ?

I did the install by the letter and PW still says "no new modules found". Please assist ?

I must say I really like the way this PW forum works, intuitive, clear, fast. Is this forum functionality available in a module inside PW? Would like to use it in addition to an existing website on products.
