I think it would be a nice idea to add an image/field count to these inputfields. Something like below, where it says '(12)'. For me this would be a handy little addition.

Of course there will be some that dare to do so

I don't really know these modules so can't help you right of the bat. What it does show however is that your 404 page needs a little bit of work

I fixed the title.

I don't understand why you would drop this in relation to this particular thread? Of course there is room for criticism. Nobody made a problem of your point and Peter asked for further input from you, but instead you come up with this slightly off-topic reply. In this case, i and some others don't share your critique. That's the point of having an open discussion. If i would have agreed i would say so as well.

It's just a way of expressing his opinion? Not that i'm a native speaker but i don't see an awful lot wrong with it. In my opinion no need to pad it with all kinds of nuances.

Good job! And already some nice content. Small thing, the url for the image cropping post is http://cmssizzle.com/blog/posts/example-post/ Not wrong of course, but if it's not too heavily indexed or crosslinked you might consider changing it to something more descriptive.

+ a lot

I do feel that most have a pretty good sense of where you are coming from. A lot of them just don't agree with you. Don't confuse this with misunderstanding. "Now it's a developer platform that suggest it's also a ready to use CMS, besides a platform. It's not" If maybe you would stop stating your opinion as a fact people would stop responding the way they do. I've seen many happy end-users without any technical knowledge use the default PW admin on a daily basis to manage content. In the development stage of a site PW does assume some basic skills to get the most out of it, but i think this is pretty clear already, and in fact the same goes for any CMS. The fact that you apparently are able to build sites without touching a line of code using WordPress, good for you, but this doesn't make PW a 'platform' only.

I can only speak for myself, but i did -or do- not feel attacked. There just seem to be some differing opinions on what constitutes a CMS and what is easy with regards to creating a basic site. I think PW hits both check-boxes, you do not. I don't think there is a letter of misleading info on the website, you do. I've never done much in say Wordpress or Joomla but from my short experiments i always got the impression that every CMS will require some coding to make it do what you want, with maybe the exception of just grabbing a pre-made template and running with that. It's possible that these systems work better for you but that does not mean that PW can't be advertised the way it is.

I'm not aware of any zorro masks, let alone a zorro conspiracy. But maybe i just haven't noticed them

This probably means your server runs in CGI/FastCGI. When this is the case you can't use PHP value or flag commands inside a .htaccess file. Doing so will probably result in the 500 error you are getting. There are other options. Sometimes you can set these values from your control panel that sits on the server. If you can edit php.ini manually that would also be a good way, and most common. Another way you could try is setting ini_set('memory_limit', '64M'); inside PW's index.php file. Not sure if this would work though. And of course, you can always contact the hoster. PS did you have a look in your apache error logs??

16 mb sounds quite low, so definitely try putting it to 64 or so.

I lol'd

Nice! I'm sure PW 2.5 will an awesome companion for building the site.

My avatar was custom-made by WillyC, hence the unusualness. Been using it proudly ever since

For this specific case you could also add hooks to $sanitizer from an autoload module. So that you could call $sanitizer->specialchars(). See wire/core/sanitizer.php for details. Horst's solution is probably easiest. On a side note: There is already $sanitizer->entities() so maybe it would make sense to add specialchars to Sanitizer core class?

I quite like this idea.

It's quite clearly a work in progress. It says "Coming soon." and has lorem ipsum text.

How does one define a Content Management System? Topic starter has his own set of criteria, others may have other. To my mind ProcessWire (PW) is a great content management system, on top of a rock-solid framework and API. Modeling your content exactly the way you want and managing it in the PW back-end couldn't be easier, while still remaining very powerful. Where i notice a slight disconnect with some users, is that PW does not make any assumptions on the way you display that content on the public facing part of your website. The soon to be released PW 2.5 does give you some good site profiles to choose from, including a multi-language profile. Studying the code in the /site/ directory will give you a very good basis to understanding how you can interact with your managed content. I see this freedom as a major strength, and not a weakness. If you go from this it will only take a very minimal understanding of PHP to customize things to your needs. For common needs that you might not be able to code yourself in the beginning, like navigation structures or forms, there are really great modules available on the website. A thing to remember is that, because it's all just PHP and some API instructions, everything you do learn will all make you a better website builder / aspiring coder in the long run. There might be systems that are more point and click friendly, but sooner rather than later every project needs some customizations and for that i can't think of a better tool than PW. So -while not needed- some programming skills will help you to get the most out of PW but to discredit it as a developers tool only is not exactly fair in my opinion. That is not to say that PW could not be made (even) more newbie friendly, but i see this more of a task for third-party profiles and/or modules and not something the ProcessWire core project should really aim for.

Don't be discouraged by the absence of replies within the first couple of days. It sounds interesting and like something that could be useful to others as well, so keep at it.

Ah, i see. Just glancing over the code, the module does seem to compare based on a md5 hash and will tell you if there is a diff in .htacces and, if so, it will tell you: "Since the <u>.htaccess</u> file may have site-specific customizations, you may " . "consider handling that one manually, unless you know it hasn't been modified."; But what you have in mind (diff/merge) is slightly more advanced If there are foolproof ways to handle this maybe would be great, but on the other hand handling such an important file as an .htaccess manually doesn't sound that bad either.

@teppo second thing If you check the 4th screenshot in Ryan's first post there are already some checks and options regarding for example .htaccess and index.php Anything inside the wire dir you are not supposed to be changing anyway, so no issues there. (i haven't tested it myself, and maybe this is not what you mean but thought i'd mention)

I don't know much about this subject but i think this will be hard, because PW uses the the myisam storage engine, and i don't think this supports transactions. For transactions you would need innodb i think.

Question: You want to show the (off-domain) image in the PW back-end? If so, using a image field? Or display on the actual website you are making?
