Promises are way better, although I don't like the Promises in jQuery they seem off compared to Dojotoolkit and Q

@LostKobrakai @Nico Thanks alot guys sometimes its hard following the source since some methods are magical so its hard to pinpoint but am getting there. thanks

Exactly because I know how much Ryan is working on Processwire Core, is why I felt the documentation can be created by a team, I like the idea of a documentation team, if you got ways to execute this ideas please let me know so i can join, I can sacrifice some Skyrim time to do this.

Hi usually I don't create topics until i feel they are necessary but this is really become a chore for me in development phase, The issue is the Developer Documentation; its really hard for me to get the necessary information I need. I have to go through various topics and navigate through conversations just to find what am looking for. Just today I was looking for the API for the PageField to save a page as a value and I have no luck, I feel this can increase development time to those new to Processwire. i found out there's a site called wiki.processwire.com but it's been last updated 2012 and the cheatsheet.processwire.com doesn't go indepth enough for me to understand what's going on. ADVICE: I feel we can have a documentation page where users can edit and contribute text to it gradually, there's recipe.processwire.com but its still not enough, it would cool to have something like this http://framework.zend.com/manual/current/en/index.html Forgive my rant I come from a country where electricity is not guaranteed so its a big deal for me when I have to spend alot of time looking for information. I don't mind contributing examples or if we can find ways to allow community update the wiki.processwire.com. THANKS GUY Still looking for how to use code to save a PageFieldtype with another page

it depends on what you are importing, I prefer to go the route of using PW in CLI to import contents. does Contenido allow bootstrap from CLI ?

1. my personal website 2. A very large WordPress site which is gradually exported to Processwire ( Biggest Migration I've done )

Yeah i get that with the option field might look into it

I am a Masochist so i always go with Dev, besides using dev allows users and devs fix issues so that stable users can have all the fun. we are like martyrs

Never heard of OOCSS but I use Stylus and LESS (CSS Pre-processors) not really a designer just a developer who can manage to design. I think Bootstrap 3 is awesome. @Kathep I didn't mean you shouldn't use it I meant, if you already know HTML then its no problem as it would increase productivity.

What's wrong with Bootstrap 3 ? its good in my opinion though am open to better ones.

Processwire is one of the few projects where dev means 98% stable. never gotten much bugs with dev

Wow i really love the concept, I don't mind using it however I have to agree to what @pwired is saying but I will add my opinion, I don't fancy drag and drop systems, why ? most of the time the issue is flexibility, however it seems this gets exported in HTML and Bootstrap 3.0 so it would only increase productivity and save me time. But if you don't know HTML my advice is grasp that and use this to enhance your productivity. There would be times where this app won't be able to handle much specific layouts by clients but for simple site it suffices. and Yes you can use this with Processwire, Processwire is an API driven platform, it gives you the data, its up to you to reformat that data the way you want it. This is no different than using a basic site to Processwire. Disclaimer: The views of Sephiroth on the forum does not reflect the views of Sephiroth in real life.

Renobird, that's some dope admin UI.................................. wait a minute renobird...........renotheme figures. nice admin ui

What happens when the user disblaes JavaScript ?, I do it on several site (only when my evil side wakes up). Never Trust user input and frontend security mechanism. That being said truly this is where frameworks have an advantage however you can use Valitron and PW Form together, I used Valitron alot and its the one Validation lib that doesn't suck after Yii and Zend 2, all you need to do is create the rules and validate the rules against the values from the form and all is good to go.

Thanks for the response all, after further investigation and reading Bootstrap and includes I was able to import all the Members in processwire easily using CLI PHP, however couldn't use WP and PW together in CLI as they had similar function names so a clash ensued. I am documenting my result for educational purposes incase anyone wants to achieve the same. Our Membership is stored in a seperate table that links to a post. with the script below we are able to import them with freaking ease. <?php set_time_limit(0); /** * Created by PhpStorm. * User: x64 * Date: 1/24/15 * Time: 2:29 PM */ echo "****Welcome to Processwire CommandLine API**** \n"; echo "****This script will migrate WordPress Membership from Styljunki to Processwire**** \n"; //Require Processwire include_once("../StyljunkiPw/index.php"); //Connect to WordPress // include_once("../WP38/wp-load.php"); // Wordpress API try{ $wpdb = new PDO("mysql:dbname=styljunki_backup;host=localhost", "root", "admin", array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => "SET NAMES 'UTF8'")); //Fetch All the Data from the Membership Page $query="SELECT * FROM wp_styljunki_registration where approved = '1'"; $stmt=$wpdb->query($query); $stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_OBJ); while($row=$stmt->fetch()){ //let's remove the category they belong to $Membership=new Page(); $Membership->template="membership"; //let's get the type of membership $category=smartGetMembers($wpdb,$row->post_id); if(is_null($category)){ //get the default parent $Membership->parent="/members/"; } else{ $members=$wire->pages->get("/members/".$category); echo "Member ID:".$members->id.'\n'; $Membership->parent_id=$members->id; } $Membership->name = wire('sanitizer')->pageName($row->fullname); $Membership->title = $Membership->name; $Membership->of(false); //assign all the properties foreach ($row as $key => $value) { if($key == "id" || $key == "approved" || $key == "time_sent" || $key == "last_modified" || $key == "height" || $key == "old_id"){ continue; } $Membership->{$key}=$value; } $Membership->save(); echo "Entry for {$row->fullname} has been imported successfully\n"; } } catch(PDOEXception $e){ echo $e->getMessage(); } echo "Commandline::finshed \n"; function smartGetMembers(PDO $db,$postID){ $statement=$db->prepare("SELECT * FROM `wp_term_relationships` as tti INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy ON tti.`term_taxonomy_id` =wp_term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id WHERE `object_id` = ? "); $statement->execute(array($postID)); $statement->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_OBJ); while($row=$statement->fetch()){ $d=sniffMemberType($db,$row); if(is_null($d)): continue; else: return $d; endif; } } function sniffMemberType(PDO $db,$resultSet){ $stmt=$db->prepare("Select * from wp_terms where term_id = ?"); $stmt->execute(array($resultSet->term_id)); $stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_OBJ); while($row=$stmt->fetch()){ switch($row->name){ case "Stylist": case "Designer": case "Make-up artist": case "Model": case "Photographer": return strtolower(str_replace(" ","-",$row->name)."s"); break; default: break; } continue; } } Because we have so many datas in wp_options and wp_terms that need exporting also.

Hmmm looks fun send me the Module i could look into it, or is this a Module ?

If the Hololens can create a crazy experience for my Skyrim game then am in, besides all these Smartwatches and SmartGlasses ain't my thing. too much time spending on the web ain't healthy.

Wow for real dude, you just saved me alot of code I was gonna write, I will review the last update and test it out, also is there a forum for ideas of Module am not good in the idea for Module department want to contribute more to processwire. Thanks alot bro

I really want to thank you guys all for the patience and time to answering this questions, however sadly I have much In-depth technical questions to ask and I will explain why I am asking all these questions, that way you will get a picture of where am coming from. I built a WordPress website which is a fashion directory and it is heavily customized, however I have implemented 40% of the features to Processwire but I have some questions which I would ask and give reasons behind them. 1. Is it a Good Practice to create your own Database Schema and not necessarily follow PW architecture of Fields ? In our WordPress application, we have a form that accepts application and stores them in a WordPress TableList until the admin activates or rejects them, upon activation I could save them as pages however i don't intend to save the pending applications as pages, will it be Anti-Processwire to display the table in the admin in own way as to using Pages/Fields. 2. PHP Command Line We use a Real Cronjob to delegate sending of newsletter to subscribers however as to my research it seems ProcessLazyCron gets triggered upon a visit so my question is, are there any resources/tutorials on running processwire in CLI mode. 3. Migrating 6gb of Images from WordPress to Processwire This is my biggest nightmare even Adrian assists in giving advises on this, We will eventually migrate all of our data however the host is limited in space pending we upgrade. Is it possible for me to explicitly set the source of the image without saving a copy ? I know it sounds wrong but i intend to save the Image Path without the saving images then later move the images to the folder that way i don't make a duplicate for each image. Our total space is 9GB on our server and our Image count is 6,738 Number of Images it takes likes 6GB the last time i checked. I want the FieldTypeImage to read the images from a specific folder Thanks all once again. Will share my experience one of these days because am doing a lot of complicated stuff in Processwire and its pretty fun.

lol I was hoping to see a romantic story literally. same here the UI is so superb and the admin alot of thought into it.

And if for some reason its still not working then i usually go to XDebug or Zend Debugger to see what's going on, always works that way i get an idea of how a Module works

just registered hope i get reviewed.

Okay so increasing post_max_size works but if it's lower it fails silently so maybe a feature would be a message that checks the size of file against the ini_get('post_max_size') and display that to the user. should i create a pull-request for that ? Happy Sunday

Has anyone tried importing an XML the size of 30mb when i try to nothing happens it just renders the same page. will try increasing my post_max_size and see what happens.

Sorry nothin like that, besides all PW codes are magical so it defeats the point of having code snippet
