Thanks Christophe! I finally managed to solve the dark theme problem, it as a missing "echo" so, if one of the data attributes that facebook uses for displaying their comments plugin is declared but not assigned, apparently the thing broke. I just spent a lot of time tweaking facebook stuff, meta tags all around, debugging with their tools, etc. I'll move on to improving the select boxes. Also added credit for Processwire

In what type of field are you saving the table fields you want to use as classes? My guess is your example already considers that the spreadsheet data is already imported, so you can use IF statements to check each fields value. For example in case they are text fields: $content = "<a href='{$item->url} class='"; if($page->real == "yes"){ $content .= $page-> $page->classValue; } if($page->interactive == "yes"){ //etc, etc } $content .= "'>"; // add more stuff echo $content;

Definitely gonna try the select boxes style tweak, thanks for the heads up! The facebook dark color scheme doesn't seem to be working for me, supposedly it should work with adding a data attribute to the element where the comments will be added, I'll keep on looking for a solution.

http://losrenegadoscomic.com/comic/capitulo-1/cover/ A comic website made for a friend, I tried to make it work like manga sites (like this or this) I don't really know if this is "nice" enough to put in Showcase but it was really really fun to do, and I did it like in 5 hours which just seemed like record time for my noob standards (and I got stuck learning how to check NullPage, but totally worth it). The comic is on going so my friend will be updating. He learned the admin like it wasn't even there : ) I used the fantastic Jumplinks for simple redirection from root to the first chapter subpage and MarkupSocialShareButton for the nice sharing buttons below the comic pages, thanks to the respective authors, you people are great. This is my first time actually building something more complex than the average "hello we are __insertcompany___" site so I am quite feeling the hype. Improvements I think would be nice: "show larger image" button for page spreads. a kind of thing that remembers where you left of if you have already visited the site, I can sometimes forget where I left off, maybe a cookie? Would it be worth it to build something like this into a module?? Like, somewhere you can create volumes, books (or how you want to call it) and then add subdivision in the same fashion as previously, until you reach a type of data that is a list of pages that represent the images. Am I being delusional and thinking the wrong way about a module solving a big task like a comic book manager? Jus when reading again my idea it sounded kind of "Wordpressy way of plugins" Any opinion is appreciated as this is totally on-going and a kind of "for fun" project.

I would add fields to users (as they are themselves Pages) and you could call the added fields using the API from another page that's visible in your page tree under Home. Maybe you could link the frontend page with the actual user Page with a Page select field.

Since this topic popped up I have been thinking on how to help PW grow from my possibilities. I am no whizz coder, but surely I can pull off some websites and maybe some other tricks, but in the end I'm rather a designer that deals with small to mid size business demands. I try to participate as much as I can supporting users, but I find that most of the times my experience is not enough, so maybe I can put my other "stuff I know how to do" to help. PW seems to already have an experienced audience, that are migrating from other software some more complex, some from the popular systems available, but I don't really think there's much material for people who handle front end technologies with average skills who want to transition into server side solutions to achieve a full stack developer status that let's them take on bigger projects and not just pure front end. I think Processwire is a killer weapon for that type of developer because of all the heavy lifting from Processwire without compromising flexibility, makes it really friendly who people who already know the basics of coding and probably has experience with javascript. So after explaining a bit where I stand, I had this ideas for tutorials series: - How to make a one page website with Processwire. - Portfolio from scratch with Processwire. (here goes my blog!) - How to make your comic book website with Processwire. I think this kind of "generic" type of tutorial, will attract people starting with frontend technologies and middle to advance users will get the grasp of how things work in Processwire and just dive into it. So, that's why I'm making all this noise about the live coding and stuff haha, I just think Processwire needs more media out there that shows solutions for practical problems that learning web developer's could be potentially searching for. Sorry if the conversation drifted away, just wanted to expose my goals. What do you guys think?

Just to complement the "google search tip" which is great: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/6196-easy-search-on-pw-forums-with-google/ (Shouldn't this information be pinned somewhere?? )

What a mess!! And apparently escalating! We always got Twitch tho

Welcome John! Indeed great intro! As Adrian stated, here is full of really helpful folks if you show the right attitude. Get ready, you are about to experience blissful webdev, best luck on your new career!

I think the Processwire Recipes project does it's updating this way? Through forks an PR on Github?

Got it! Check it out on http://educacioninicial-puebla.org/ at the very bottom.

Yes! I gave up on that, let's say that the solution I decided upon would be to configure slick with options infinite:true and autoplay:true. So it kind of scrolls in discrete steps infinitely (placing first after last), though not the solution I looked for but it worked for the client I didn't try Reel because the animation doesn't look as smooth as I'd like to, but definitely the only option that looked similar to that Codecanyon plugin. (although after LostKobrakai's comment I saw the very little "stepping" in the animation) Btw, I forgot to ask him but, what would be better than using Jquery, CSS transforms? I thought it would be easier to find an already available solution as I have seen this fairly enough times, but doesn't seem to be, there's a develpment oportunity here I guess.

I always use slick and I don't know how the heck I didn't think about it first!!! By far one of my favourites, now that I read correctly it does say "the last carousel you will ever need", I always use it as a slider, maybe that's why it didn't cross my mind, damn, some useful time lost yesterday and today

Ended up using Owl Carousel 2 http://www.owlcarousel.owlgraphic.com/ Not exactly what I was looking for, but it will work for now, thanks!

The one page scroller is something I'm always asked for, I have always used fullpage.js it has a lot of useful mumbo jumbo, nice to see another option! Then again, since I'm constantly asked for this line of design in websites, I feel it is that mobile oriented design is kind of filtering into desktop design, so I kind of understand your point of attracting this type of client who prefer more fanciness than "here's all you need to know about this bussiness in half page". Me, I don't know that to think anymore, haha, I just want their deposit in my bank account

Yes! I agree on this too, forgot to mention, but it also happened to me.

I had this idea yesterday of coding my website in livecoding once I have it designed, though I want to ask you people.. Do you think it's worth it if I'm kind of a noob? I mean, you won't be seeing some ninja code, more like toddler with crayons (although kids do have a lot of fun with their crayons!) Should it accomodate to the "processwire user distribution map", with this I mean that a lot of PW users seem to be in Europe and I live in America, so I the best strategy would have to be doing this either really late (to get to most of people really early), or really early (to get people in the late afternoon).

Hello everyone, Does anyone know of a free javascript/jquery solution I could use to achieve a logo carousel like this one? http://codecanyon.net/item/logo-carousel-jquery-logos-showcase/full_screen_preview/6261911

I think it does look more modern than the previous site! It took me a while to "find" that there was a menu bar after scrolling a bit, I don't know if contrast is the issue, or maybe the thin fonts. Code it live in livecoding.tv! I'm kind of planning doing that with my own site (this related to other thread), as you said, it's a pain to "be happy" with your own work.

Added my 2 cents! Tried to be diplomatic The largest discussion on reddit I have seen involving Processwire, nice!
