Another thing I love about PW is the friendly, supportive forum. I certainly don't want to be accused of trolling the guy. He put his opinion out there based on his experiences, as is his right. Should he venture here though, I'd be more than happy to help him with his PW site

"You can't fix 'stupid'" is an old saying. Sure PW is not for everyone and as the guy said, "Great for developers (I assume), pretty bad for everyone else". What got up my nose was he presents himself as a web developer/designer/guru and his own site is technically bad. Done well, PW is great for everyone. I suspect where he got lost was "assuming" that PW was a load the app, apply a FE theme, bung in a few plugins, squeeze your content to fit the theme and away you go. The thing I love most about PW is the exact opposite. I have complete freedom to build my sites, backend, frontend & user-friendliness

After looking at his site, my guess is "You can't fix 'stupid'"

Shouldn't that statement have a == ?

I usually do a combination of both - separate 'Business Info' page that stores stuff like logo versions, etc and a functional field that stores common text phrases. All editable by admin on that page and (I believe as don't use it), editable for multi-lang sites. Even go so far sometimes to make the page a link in the admin main menu, with or without a custom module

Hi @3fingers, thank you. As mentioned, it's not an out-of-the-box solution. Read the Dropbox API doco. Maybe: Dropbox app/yourclientfolder/subfolder-by-pw-user ? Or, List files in the Dropbox folder as checkbox options in the client's private page admin area- tick for each needed by user? Or, As you mentioned, copy/paste links in a repeater on the client's page There are lots of options. Think of these API's as toolboxes that allow you to create the scenario that suits your client's requirements.

Definitely NOT an out-of-the-box solution to your specific requirement but there is this module which may be a good starting point: It acts as a wrapper for the Dropbox API, giving you access to Dropbox features such as uploading to folder(s), user access, etc in conjunction with @benbyf's https://github.com/benbyford/InputfieldDropbox

After your error message, try $this->exit() which halts all further processing, including the save function.

Solved! Thanks @Zeka Solution: <?php // in my auto-loaded custom module public function init() { $this->addHookAfter('ProcessPageView::pageNotFound', $this, "unpublishedProfile"); } public function unpublishedProfile (HookEvent $event) { $page = $event->arguments(0); if ($page->isUnpublished() && $page->template == 'profile') $this->wire('session')->redirect($this->wire('pages')->get(1312)->url); }

Thanks @Zeka, think you're onto something there. I searched but could not find

For pages with a particular template, I would like them to display/redirect to a different page from the normal http404 page when status is unpublished. Can't figure out what to hook and where. Un-working code is: <?php // in my auto-loaded custom module public function init() { // this hook doesn't catch... returns the normal http404 page for unpublished template=profile pages $this->addHookBefore('Page("template=profile")::loaded', $this, "unpublishedProfile"); } public function unpublishedProfile (HookEvent $event) { $page = $event->arguments(0); if ($page->isUnpublished()) $this->wire('session')->redirect($this->wire('pages')->get(1312)->url); } Also tried to hook After page loaded with same result, ie default Page Not Found shown. Help & suggestions to fix much appreciated. Cheers psy

@rick Rather than use the problematic PW front-end image uploads, I went for uppy and with @Robin S' amazing help, got it working. Tus/Uppy has a nice drag-n-drop user interface, overcomes file size limits, allows for resumable uploads + more. In Robin's example, he saves the images to a new page. In my case, I prepended the page id and an underscore to the filename in the Uppy js code. Then, in the uppy server page code, identify the required page by exploding the filename on the underscore. Maybe time to get a new horse?

Great addition to FB, thanks @BitPoet Small problem when using FB40a with PW3.0.145 to remember form entries in a cookie. On revisiting the form displays the number of rows I've added but they're empty of data.

Lots of PW goodness in this one too: https://processwire-recipes.com/
