Howdy folks! Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I have a slight problem. I am no longer able to login from the admin page. It continuously displays the login page. I have not changed my password or my user name, nor made any changes in /wire. I tried this approach, processwire-recipes.com/recipes/resetting-admin-password-via-api/ but I get the following errors: Trying to get property of non-object in /[localhost]/sc/wire/core/Page.php on line 1459 Fatal error: Call to a member function hasField() on a non-object in /[localhost]/sc/wire/core/Page.php on line 1459 Error: Call to a member function hasField() on a non-object (line 1459 of /[localhost]/sc/wire/core/Page.php) The last entry in apache error log that was not a stack trace was: PHP Notice: Object of class InputfieldSelect could not be converted to int in /[localhost]/sc/wire/core/InputfieldWrapper.php on line 652, referer: http://localhost/sc/scadmin/setup/field/edit?id=127 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. P.S. Speaking of the apache error log. Is there any way of turning off all the entries? I have error_reporting( E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_NOTICE ); set in /site/config.php but my error log is currently over 3M worth of stack traces just from today's work. P.P.S. I think I will pour myself a glass of scotch. Cheers!

@Soma I'm using FF so it could be the issue you speak of. Great work, btw. One question. Is there a setting or query string option to have the complete lists expanded by default? @adrian I use the page content search as well, but wasn't sure whether my search result would be on that page, since I'm new to how everything functions.

All of my projects will require a custom admin interface to ACL'd functionality. What is the recommended approach to create administrative interfaces that maintain current and future compatibility?

First time installing this module.

I receive the following error when trying to install FormHelperExtra: Unable to install module 'FormHelperExtra': SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry 'fhStorage' for key 'name' I just undated wire to 2.6.12 a few minutes ago.

Sorry if I missed it, but I haven't found any info on the password field not present in settings. It says the password is stored in the database but there is no field in which to enter the password. Consequently, the test fails. What have I not configured correctly? [edit] This was present in 2.6.10, and now 2.6.12 dev.

As Pete and Martijn have suggested, you can automate including the PW-app header and footer in your WP theme file. What I take from your statement, "...the user visiting the website will see they have not left the site but is now viewing a blog..." tells me that the blog is a secondary application to the PW-app. In other words, the WP-blog is not the primary attraction or interaction, but more of an add-on feature to your site. If that is the case, have you considered using http://modules.processwire.com/modules/process-blog/ rather than two applications? On a related note, I have no idea if WP has changed it's user login since I last worked with it, but you also have to consider that the admin-user login in PW is not the same as in WP. This will require the administrative user(s) to log in twice, once if working in PW and once in WP, or, you will probably need to write a bridge to log into both apps with one interaction if you want them to have access at the same time.

Hi Peter, When I first looked at PW, the docs were referring to templates. I admit that my first impression was based on cursory observations. After looking at CMSs and framework applications for two weeks straight, I assumed that PW was the same as the rest, and dismissed it as such. I had basically resolved myself to writing my own CMF (not CMS) to complete some upcoming projects. The version I looked at was current two weeks ago (I don't recall the version number). I have since been running the dev version. I am still trying to recall the issue I was researching when I came across a solution that mentioned PW. At that time, I looked more in-depth, and I am glad I came back and gave it a second chance. I really like the structure and how well engineered it is. Ryan has done an amazing job, and the support here is from highly skilled programmers as well. I have nowhere near the skill level they have, which is causing me some headaches trying to adjust to the page and template context of PW from what I have experienced in the past. That is not a deterrent, it simply means my learning curve is somewhat vertical.

Y'all might want to grab your sun-glasses. That extra illumination y'all see in here, it's from the light that just came on. Thanks thetuningspoon.

Thanks adrian. One follow-up question. Why is this necessary? When searching for 'of(', '->of', etc., no results are found. In fact, the cheatsheet search renames my search to '- of' (greater than is replaced with a space). I don't know what software is used to present the docs, so I don't know how difficult it would be to add an 'un-filtered' search option. Can the references be 'upgraded' to include the 'why'? In the technical docs I've written in the past, I always included the 'what' (what it is), the 'how' (how its used, as in examples), and 'why' (why its used). Currently, the references only provide the 'what', with the ocassional 'how' in response to a specific question. I'm not knocking the docs. As a beginner with PW, the additional information would answer almost all of my noob questions. On a related note, PW has quite a few people that contribute to it's functional development, and it's support here in the forums. I don't have the internal PW knowledge to make those contributions, ...yet. The only skill set I posses at this juncture is assisting in ehancing the docs. I'll be glad to volunteer to extend the reference materials, if that is something y'all have had on the drawing-board. </ thinkingoutloud> Thanks again adrian.

I have seen, $user->of(false); // do something with $user $user->save(); $user->of(true); in a few places. But I can't find it's reference in the cheatsheet or doc. What the heck is of() ?

Nevermind. Pilot error. Move along. Nothing to see here.

This is odd. I create a text field, tag it, and add it to a template. When I view the page which uses that template, the field is not displayed. I just went through this exact process creating previous fields, and they are present and populated. The site displays the existing field data correctly. The new field is present in the template, but is not available within the page. When I delete that field from the template, then delete the actual field, the other fields with the same tag are no longer tagged with the original name, but are displayed under untagged. I can go through the process of creating that field, and adding it to the template. The page still does not show that field. I'm using 2.6.10dev. I am not using any type of cache. Has anyone seen this before? What am I doing wrong?

Hello Marth

It is interesting that you say that. What I like about ProcessWire is what I like about my choice in OS. This opinion is based solely on my developer-centric view, and not from the view of my clients. ProcessWire to me is akin to the *NIX of operating systems. Other so called CMSs, especially the more popular ones (wordpress, drupal, et al.), are the windows wrapper versions, whereas the MVCs (and Smartys/Twigs impementations) are the mutated CP/Ms. Everyone believes they have a better mouse-trap. And Yes. You can use their self-proclaimed turbo-charged, lemon-fresh, automatic-transmission mouse trap to kill a mouse, but at exorbitant cost for the supporting systems and learning curves of the end-user. ProcessWire is well architected, particularly so for us 'geeks', as is Unix. And that is where the trumpeted "User Friendly" rears it's ugly head. I'm not knocking the opinion of others. This is, after all, only my opinion. I don't mind so much the Gnome [x-windows, etc.] attempts to make *nix more user-friendly, but please, please, don't bastardize ProcessWire into Windows98.

Yes Sir. I have used quite a few of them for small-ish projects over the years, and wrote a few plug-ins along the way. I must say that I am more impressed with processwire than I thought I would be considering all I had for a reference was those 'other' apps. I can see PW being my goto tool for all of the "greater than one-page site" projects. That in itself is exciting.

I don't consider myself an advanced programmer, neither am I a beginner. As I said in <a href="https://processwire.com/talk/topic/2311-processwire-on-the-web/page-17#entry99587">this</a> post, I balked at PW at first. The first articles I read referred to 'templates'. I wasn't looking for another app with a template engine, so I passed on digging deeper, and continued on with my search. It was the term 'template' that initially turned me away. After looking at all the cms and framework files, I thought, "Great, another idea for a better mouse trap. ...Again." Each and every one of those cms and framewoork apps do not come anywhere close to processwire. Don't get me wrong, I've been using many of them for years, and I am not putting them down. They serve a purpose -- Just not my purpose. From what I have been reading on this forum over the past few days, there is a great group ready and willing to help, and the development is heading in a direction that will support us newer members becoming a more integral part in the future. I don't see PW living between casual and advanced users at all. I see PW as it being what you need it to be. If you need casual, it fits. If you need advanced, it fits. </ .02

Thanks for the tip, jlahijani. That's the one place I haven't read, yet. I am running the dev version, so I will start reading up.

How to you apply styling to form fields created by the API? For example, when using either a bootstrap css framework, or when using a custom css file. I apologize if I have just overlooked the correct search results. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the welcome. I've been reading through many of the posts in getting started, api/module, etc., and the only question I have at the moment is in regard to the documentation and cheat sheet. I think I read that the cheat sheet is being updated, and the wiki is going away. Being the newbie, I like to try and find out the answers before coming here and wasting y'alls time with a rookie question. So, my question is, how up-to-date, or sync'd, are the reference materials in relation to the production releases?

@Soma: I've been trying to remember the specific issue I was researching -- Happens a lot when I walk into the kitchen too. I will post it when I eventually think of it, though.

I am new to ProcessWire. I am not new, however, to programming (started with assembly back in the '70s). I'm not writing a marketing speel here -- I simply want you (the developers and community) to know how I arrived at ProcessWire as my solution. I have specific requirements for a numer of projects that I will be starting (hopefully) in the next few days, and had been researching various CMSs and frameworks the past few weeks to find a 'one-size-fits-all' toolbox. I have currently forty-four cms installs (from academic to zikula) and thirteen different frameworks ( from akelos to zoop). They all have their merits, and are fine solutions for many users and developers. ProcessWire is one of the original 44 installs, but at first 'glance' didn't seem to fit what I was looking for. Later, after searching the web for a solution to one particular issue, a link back to a PW solution emerged. I clicked the link, and low and behold, ProcessWire *was* what I had been searching for all this time. On a related note, google has sent me a nasty-gram about the reactor they had to fire up because of my queries. The primary strength of ProcessWire that I have discovered so far, is that I (as a developer) am not limited in the tools I can use, or the tools I can create. ProcessWire is sleek and efficient. It is a toolbox full of tools that allow me to build a fine watch, a multi-story office complex, or a fishing pole. The other applications suffer from either bloatware or limited tool availability, or worse, both. I could very well accomplish my project goals using any of these other applications but with much head-banging, hair-pulling, and cosumption of scotch. The biggest 'selling' factor to me for ProcessWire, however, was it's efficient engieering in the construction of built-in tools I will require now, and the ability to create my own tools for use in the future.

Hello all! I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post an introduction, but I didn't want to clutter a specific topic elsewhere. I've been reading various forum topics, wiki, and docs, for the past twenty or so hours and decided to sign up last night. I just want to say that I am impressed with Processwire itself, as well as the community's eagerness to assist us newbies. I'll most likely have a number of questions later. As of now, I suffer from information overload due to the amount of reasearch over the past few weeks. I'm sure some of you old-timers, like myself, are familiar with *Tilt*, which is currently emblazoned on the back of my eyeballs. I look forward to learning and working with PW on a number of up-coming projects, and eventually become a contributing member of this community. Thanks for having me. Best regards, Rick
