In case you have no plans on the weekend:

https://processwire.com/docs/tutorials/

The tutorials are awesome and a great starting point. Let's say you know a bit about programming, the absolute foundation of if/else and echo/return, and a bit of HTML/CSS/JS... you could be up and running within a weekend.

That's how I got into ProcessWire and started loving it.

What is your question? Are you asking about the inner workings of the module? The db storage? How the money library works?

No, nothing of that. I was just a bit surprised you don't save currency values in cents (for Euro and Dollar and similar for other currencies) and had the need for this.

As a drop-in solution, for already existing projects with tons of products/items, this seems perfect.

You don't save money values in cents (or whatever the smallest unit is)?

Latest find (and heavily on repeat) - and foundation for my new found love for Vaporwave and LoFi:
EP-133 KO II Vinyl Sample Hip Hop Beat (Nina Simone record)

Another nice and chill mix:
Kater Carlo - TechHouse 08.2024 KaterCarlo

A bit (way) more expressive but great for late night sessions:
CLOUDY F2F KUKO

That's a great outlook and scope for this module I can wrap my head around. The ProcessWire way of doing things is great, yet the heavy lifting is done by the module already - see mollie and parts for cart and checkout pages.

I will have to look into this again for sure.

Ok, this already answers all my questions. And yes, that makes sense.
Using mollie already seems to be everything necessary - as they provide access to/through all major credit cards, Apple and Google Pay, and PayPal as well.

Big plus: they are from the Netherlands, therefore EU.

I was worried I had to connect PayPal, Stripe, and/or similar on my own. But with mollie... 👍🏻

Just another question: At what point would you consider RockCommerce be useful for a project, at which amount of products or what sales volume per year?

Asking for clients like small barber shops and similar, or a fitness coach with sport courses?

How will payment work here in the module?
Will payment providers already be available through the module itself?

This just reminded me of the classic Volkswagen 2.4-liter diesel AAB engine they used in their Transporter vans.
It was probably one of the few engines, like the one above, you could fix with a hammer, a few liters of thick oil, and loud swearing.

Oh my... just had to try it. 😂 I'm even more confused now than usual.

Is there or would there be a way in the future to integrate TailwindCSS and LESS in a way so they know about each other and can be used together?

That's not how this works. You can use TailwindCSS and LESS at the same time, but pulling Tailwind into LESS... haven't seen this combo anywhere in the wild.

BUT... you can use the Tailwind's base.css (or however it's called in RockFrontend) and write modern CSS in it. That will work.

/*Tailwind base.css*/
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

+ modern CSS:

/*Tailwind + CSS */
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

header {
    --brand-clr-main: #111;
    --brand-clr-accent: #f33;
    
    h1 {
        color: (--brand-clr-main);
        @apply text-3xl;

        a {
            text-decoration: none;
            border-bottom: 2px var(--brand-clr-accent) dashed;
            @apply text-orange-500;
        }
    }
}

You would skip LESS and rewrite it with native/modern CSS. There are variables, nesting, ... and probably more that makes that switch a bit easier.

yes, I've changed the setting for the new database and also the tableSalt settings

 

The tableSalt belongs to each installation, so this is probably the reason you can't login.

The absolute easiest way, in my opinion, is to just move all files from A to B (including all those hidden files, like .htaccess), import the database manually via either command line or PHPMyAdmin or whatever exists on the server, then fixing the connection details for the database in /site/config.php.

It might be easier and faster to move ZIP files - you have to decide this for yourself.

Step by Step

1. Download all files from Server A (including .htaccess and other hidden files)
2. Export the database with Database Backups
3. Upload all files to Server B (including .htaccess and other hidden files)
4. Import the database
5. Edit /site/config.php and change database connection settings
6. Check and update folder and file permissions - see guide here

replacing the config file from the original install

Did you change the database connection details to match the new (database) server?

Did you install ProcessWire on the new server prior to moving all files or did you just move over the old files?

Try this:

• check the returned value of your datefield
• check the strtotime value returned
• don't do anything with your datefield value and just try that
• convert it manually to a timestamp and try that - just to check
• try if any of these work:
  $today = strtotime("today");
  $todayDate = date('d.m.Y', $today);
  $todayDateTime = date('d.m.Y H:i:s', $today);
   
• last but not least: check the page data if there is anything in them, make a page dump to Tracy or var_dump()

That's how I narrow down issue like this.

That video made me want to look more into that ProcessWire CMS he was talking about. Sounds great. 😬

Can you give me a screenshot of your combo field, so I can re-create it and look in one of my setups?

Do you use any hooks in your setup that might try to get the image in that combo field?

Also I thought I made it clear that this is nothing anyone has to use, but I think that got lost during editing.

You said that loud and clear, yet my point here is this:

Installing a site profile is a very basic task. Well, it's actually just installing ProcessWire with one additional step.
But you made it look very complicated. I'm fine with it, even though I had to watch it a few times to know what happening, because I know the "real" steps.

A RockShell or DDEV video with that first 2.5 minutes as a demo - perfect!

Another thing I noticed but didn't mention the last time was the sound. In some parts your voice shifts as if you have sped the video up. Not sure if this was intended or not.

As of today, ProcessWire no longer creates directories for all pages, so this module is mostly useful to existing sites rather than future sites.

So... I just used this module in ProcessWire 3.0.241 and it works just perfect. Yet the above statement seems to be not correct anymore. Opened up some pages and I find a truck load of new empty directories in /site/assets/files/ again.

Is it because the image field of those pages has a fallback image defined or did the default behaviour in ProcessWire change in those regards in the last 12 years?

Wouldn't consider this as a bug. Just curious.

Using those aliases for DDEV, Git, RockShell makes the first 2.5 minutes kind of... blurry or a blackbox or something.

Even though I know how to install ProcessWire with a custom site profile I had to watch it a few times to understand whats happening.
While I use DDEV, I use way different aliases, i don't use RockShell, and so on.

It felt a bit like installing Laravel or CraftCMS to me - so many different moving bits and I don't know or can't really follow as I don't have or use the tools and can't see what really happens.

As mentioned elsewhere: I love the fact ProcessWire has still ZIP files and don't relies on composer to install something.

It would have been nice to see a slide with the full DDEV command, a screen with the Github page and URL to see where I can get the profile as ZIP.
After that I would have preferred to see a full clean install with unzipping a site profile, dragging it into the docroot, and go from there.

If I were new to ProcessWire this would have freaked me out in terms of: that's a lot of hoops I have to jump through.

Two things I would try and check:

1. double check your page reference field allows the creation of new pages and all settings are correct - including parent and template settings
2. try to save after the tag was added.
   Either with
       $page->save();
   or
       $page->save('your_field_name')

Do you have any details about how you built those?

I didn't touch them at all. Those are available through Astro: View Transitions

You can however take a look at the source code - the CSS is inlined there. Look for: data-astro-transition-scope

Uuuh... that's nice!

I have an account, I get the newsletter once in a while, yet there is something that makes it unusable for me. Maybe it's just that I can't consume any more sources of news, articles, tutorials, and all that.

I focus more on posts and threads here, news from specific tools and services on X, some YouTube.
That's it.

Wow. Thanks @szabesz. That's going on for longer than I thought.
Maybe I should start more often from scratch.

So... while right in setting up a totally new project and adding basic fields and templates from scratch this error really caught my attention:

Template name “404” not added because it contains only digits.

As long as I can remember and in all projects I looked into, my 404 pages always get the 404.php template.

Is this new? Since when?
Do I have to change my existing projects?
This is a bit weird as most projects run either the latest stable or latest DEV version and none of them complained so far.

I'm not complaining.
error-404.php is fine for me or any other name, yet that was an interesting find somehow.

Some of you may know that I took over the ProcessWire Recipes project quite some time ago.
Including the .com domain a few weeks back and the new .recipes domain right after my start.

To make it clear: processwire.recipes right now uses AstroJS on Cloudflare so that there is no real need for a hosting, and it could run there forever.

But here is the interesting part and question:

Would you expect, maybe even demand, that those and similar projects were built with ProcessWire itself?

I'd really like to and want to hear all your thoughts and opinions about this idea and topic.
All pro and contra-arguments. Everything.
Maybe even roast me for not using PW on that project.
