While I generally agree to all the other points raised, I would be cautious with Slack. To tell the truth, I'm barely familiar with Slack but what I've seen so far (and that was about two years ago, so things might have changed) communication in Slack is very fragmented and hard to follow. On the contrary, our current forum has a lot of power in it and is very easy to follow. Maybe Slack can do the same but it is a question whether it is preferable or not.

Very good point! I was in the same boat with SilverStripe. They pushed the system in the direction so that one can practically use their workflow only, major version numbered system updates were not possible because of incompatible modules, etc... Part time developers like me just could not keep up the pace with the changes introduced. In contrast, ProcessWire "just" gets new features, upgrade issues can be sorted out, and breaking API changes are virtually non-existent. You learn it once, use it "forever" For example, I hate that when I need to re-learn M$ Windows/Word just because they completely redesigned the GUI. I'm on Mac$, anyway

Thank you! I have not yet realized it. Good to know

I am about to use this module too (for the first time). The discussed improvements do sound good. Thanks in advance, Adrien!

I have "two" ProcessWire 3.0.88 "versions". One form January the 5th and the other one dowloaded today a few minutes ago. There are a couple of differences in the source code: Is it a common practice to introduce changes without changing the version number? I have not yet noticed such a thing before, but I must admit that this is the first time I checked... I noticed a difference in the ZIP's file size, so I compared the two.

Page draft module - useful to anyone? Please feed back!
szabesz replied to Rob's topic in Module/Plugin Development
To tell the truth I have not yet used @Robin S's ConnectPageFields module, but maybe he could come up with a solution based on the inner workings of his module to take further this Page Draft module. I'm just wild guessing here and probably daydreaming however, it would be great to see a free alternative to ProDrafts as a draft feature would be welcome, but I do not have a project which needs all the extra features of ProDrafts, I could do with just draft+published states for the "body" field, keeping the already published state intact until it is overwritten with the draft version which can be saved too, independent of the published one. -
The logo is so funny, I like it too. If Ryan does not mind that you use it this way, why change it?

Making future website upgrades more error prone and time consuming, I agree. Yes, we should get more organized somehow.

I would like to add something else to this already great discussion, and this is about the rate of new features and changes introduced in ProcessWire. While the last few year's new features are impressive, they keep introducing so many minor issues that – while they are truly minor – they have already accumulated to the point where I cannot see how each of them will get sorted out in the future. Leaving these issues behind in the dust will make ProcessWire less robust in the long run. Do not get me wrong, I do no think ProcessWire is in any sort of trouble just yet but recently I stopped updating to new dev versions fearing that I might break a site. The last stable is v3.0.62 from May 5, 2017. I would love to see a feature freeze so that a new stable and somewhat tested version can be released.

I use FieldtypeYaml module because it is relatively easy to manually edit Yaml. JSON is easy to read but not so easy to manually edit. It is a good choice using FieldtypeYaml for not too complex config fields , I think.

I recommend dropping classic Default admin theme support. After all, AdminThemeUikit is becoming the new default in the near future.

Thanks in advance anyway

Hi @flydev Me too Any news on it?

In addition to @Robin S's suggestion above, if ProcessWire 3.0.87's new features were extended as brainstormed in the post: also adding the possibility for an Images inputfield to upload to and/or pick images from another one (+ this supercharged Images inputfield being filterable) then we would finally have a very impressive set of image management features built in which have been sought after for years.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5mRwzVvFGE but we should not forget this one either: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/is-the-intel-management-engine-a-backdoor/ "Is the Intel Management Engine a backdoor? Yes, of course it is. By its very definition (from Wikipedia): A backdoor is a method, often secret, of bypassing normal authentication in a product, computer system, cryptosystem or algorithm etc. Backdoors are often used for securing unauthorized remote access to a computer, or obtaining access to plaintext in cryptographic systems." By definition Meltdown and Spectre are also backdoors, intentionally designed ones, btw. We are talking about hardware intentionally implemented to bypass security checks by design. It was just not "advertised". @bernhard Please change the title. I get the joke but it is quite misleading...

Sure! No client should be allowed to play with their own site. It's a serious tool, not a kindergarten toy Thanks for sharing!

The strange thing is that a few months ago I also installed ProcessWire on DSM and the site works. I do not need it because it was just a test, so I left it there sitting. The interesting bit is my config.php with this in it: $config->dbHost = '192.168.0.10'; $config->dbName = 'example_db'; $config->dbUser = 'root'; $config->dbPass = 'example_pass'; $config->dbPort = '3306'; Maria DB config panel reads: Port 3307 If I change the config to 3306, it cannot connect... I have no incentive to figure out what is going on because my Synology is slow so I use my online account instead. I just wanted to point out what fun it can be to deal with DSM (I have other, non related issues with it, so I often get upset when using Synology...)

Unified Documentation Resource for Processwire
szabesz replied to Orkun's topic in Wishlist & Roadmap
We have already discussed it, this idea got some "likes" too: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/11998-growing-processwire-in-2016/?do=findComment&comment=111499 If it is possible to check this forum's data then it would be possible to give edit rights to only certain forum members based on that, for example.- 11 replies

Probably it is not that slow after all, considering your nice UIkit admin theme tutorial you did not spend all that time on it in vain, I'm sure! Thanks for the tuto, btw. In order to gain a deep understanding of something complex, one has to spend a considerable amount of time dealing with it but if it is something useful I think it is worth it. I have CodeKit 3 because I do not have the time to learn the command-line in this case. I compile site.less which is the source of the "main" css file, containing mostly all rules for the frontend. Source files are stored like this: The images alias is needed and it points to .../bower_components/uikit/src/images so that site.less compiles with the hard coded icon paths in UIkit. I tested including separate components only, but it is a pita to do so and I did not gain too much regarding the file size of site.css so I simply include them all.

I do not know what sort of wizardry you are practicing but I only spent half a day figuring out the setup I use all the time ever since. Note that I discard the UIkit theming feature (the so called included build process) as I find it useless. I prefer my simple method. In my site.less file I do: @site-bower-path: "../../../../"; @site-font-path: "../../"; @import "@{site-bower-path}bower_components/uikit/src/less/uikit.less"; @import "@{site-bower-path}bower_components/uikit/src/less/components/_import.less"; @import "site_conf.less"; //my configs, site specific CSS and other LESS stuff @import "uk_conf.less"; //changing UIKit variable values and adding UIkit hooks @import "site_utils.less"; //utility classes I'm not a CSS preprocessor expert so I'm sure there could be more useful setups but it already makes customizing UIkit 3 easy, like in the case of: https://www.szepelet.com

Because there are lots and lots and lots of ready-made plugins/modules/forntend-themes they can install without writing a single line of code. Maintaining such a site is another story, of course... Oh, and they came first, not ProcessWire
