Thanks very much Luis! I will be in touch.

Hi everyone & big-brained PW people, In my travels this week I've come across a situation that requires some back-to-front thinking. I PW site I did recently makes use of digitaldeliveryapp to deliver PDFs to customers. It's beautiful and it works great. But the site also sells to a lot of local councils who have (bizarre) firewall restrictions, can't access any urls from the above app and want an invoice first. Crazy. I already store the PDF details (although not the actual PDF) in PW. I'd like to know if it's possible to do the following: Add a PDF to a cart Submit the order via form (with the requirement that the email address from the submitter must end with a .gov.au) Form submission is stored as a page (thinking of the thread on Luis's web app) Invoice is send automatically Wait for payment (which would mean the client checks the bank account) Once invoice has been paid client changes the page status to 'paid' and the PDFs are automatically emailed to their client. If this is at all possible, and the client agrees to going in this direction, I'll stick a request in the job forum. Cheers Marty

I wouldn't go near sending bulk emails from your own server as Martijn suggested. I have however toyed with using PW as a e-newsletter content creation tool for a couple of clients. Regards Marty

Thanks Marc!

Alan, I'm running that Map module on a new 2.3 install and it's working fine. My PHP on MAMP (where it originated) is 5.4.10 and the live server runs 5.3.13 and still no problem. Cheers Marty

Thanks @thistimj & @diogo. That shot was a fluke. I stuck my phone against the window the night before they put up barriers and pulled the building down. @horst: you might like this one too. Regards Marty

Hi Horst, Thank you. That one was just using the standard 4S. - Marty

In a rare display of personal work I’ve made a photographic site to show some of my pics. I hope you like it. http://stlmv.in/mw

Hi, @MarcC Ideally having a check for data and populate fields would be a great idea. In my case my setup looks like this. As you can see there'll be scans from the YashicatMat that probably won't show anything because it records no data and I haven't written anything down for the shot .

I've taken a lofi approach to my site. Each image on its own page and page fields for exposure, f-stop and ISO - and Ryan's Map Marker field for interest sake. It's because a lot of exif data gets wiped (as Horst mentioned) through various editing apps and it's not that much of a bother to add that info in.

I've been working on something like this but it only displays exude data using php_exif

Hi, Is it possible to run a field in a template through one of the text formatters? I have title like this: This is 'Closed' - which I would like to have curly quotes. If I add SmartPants to the title field in the admin there's no effect. But if I include a PHP version of SmartyPant (http://michelf.ca/projects/php-smartypants/), and have setOutputFormatting to false I can do this. <?php $page->of(false); $my_text = SmartyPants($page->title); echo "<p>" . $my_text . "</p>"; ?> Just wondering if there's a 'PW' way to do it. Regards Marty

I think that module only imports data into existing fields. And the 'issue' with the profile exporter is that it's an all or nothing approach - which is great - but I'm after a selective approach to adding multiple fields. For example my 'Settings' page would have anything from five to a dozen fields of various types: textfields for site name, email field for contact emails, check boxes for toggling sidebars on and off... the list goes on.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is an API question but here goes. On a few recent sites I find myself creating the same sets of fields over and over - for a 'settings' page for example. Is there a way I can import/create a group of fields quickly? If you haven't seem Ryan's Form Builder there's a nifty import/export tool. That's what got me thinking about this. Cheers Marty

I couldn't help myself either: smd.pw stillmovingdesign.pw

I mean this: you guys amaze me. And the risk of making a dog's breakfast of this I'm also wondering if the image field that thumbnails get saved to could be configurable. There might be some instances where it might be preferable to have them separate. Just thinking out loud really. Cheers Marty

Ha! I did today for the first time! It felt good too. One day I'll get around to installing your module.

I wonder how difficult it would be to add a just-created cropped image to a pages image field? That way there's a permanent record of it and it can be used in a wysiwyg field or anywhere else for that matter.

I've been in the same predicament with EE and Txp - either with orphaned plugins that don't work on latest versions or server changes that rendered orphaned plugins useless. And because the sites were small enough I've converted them over just to save me (and the client) the hassle of going through an upgrade and also for the learning experience with PW. I haven't regretted doing this once. Cheers Marty

Hey pwired, Sorry to hear about you losing your job. That sucks. I'll have a longer answer for you tomorrow but in the meantime I'd suggest looking at some videos by James Victore. He's a graphic designer but a lot of what he has to say pertains to gaining the confidence to do what you want to do, asking for help (easy to do on this forum) and do good work. https://www.youtube.com/user/JamesVictore/videos Good luck, cheers Marty

Great work André. I'm half-brummy so if you need a hand on the print side of things let me know

Works now with the Chrome 26 update

It looks ok for me here on OSX FF20. Actually when I try this in Chrome 25 I just get the loading spinner.

Hi Antti, This does indeed work with Thumbnails. I can see all sorts of applications for this. Terrific work! Cheers Marty

Alright! I can't wait to try this Antti. Quick question: will it let me work with your Thumbnails module too?
