Thanks everyone. @diogo Yes, there's a few like that. Thanks for the suggestion. They should really be updated too. @marc Thanks!

Hi all, I just launched a new portfolio site for talented Melbourne-based illustrator Mitch Vane: http://mitchvane.com/ Mitch isn't a seasoned CMS user and she had some very positive things to say about ProcessWire after having used it for only a few days. Regards Marty

What a great time saver. Thanks Nico!

Hi Diogo, I'm looking forward to giving this a go later. I can only think of one suggestion and that is being able to customise the CSS class on a per image basis. Regards Marty

I saw this over on CSS Tricks. It might be of help: http://css-tricks.co...riping-a-table/ And this if you were wanting a CSS-only solution that supported older browsers: http://www.keithclar...nded-selectors/ <?php $c = 0; $items = $pages->get("/items/")->find("template=items"); foreach($items as $item) { echo "<li class='"; echo $c++&1 ? 'odd' : 'even'; echo "'>{$item->title}</li>"; } ?> Some good examples here too: http://functino.com/2009/04/zebra-tables-how-to-alternate-table-row-colors/

I've been thinking of how to approach imparting the workings of a client's site to them. I do print design as well and I find generating PDFs a bit tedious especially if the content changes from site to site. I had thought to tack on a /help section to the client site and use the csv importer to generate most of the topics and then modify as required.

The 'problems', if you can call them that, is my noob PHP status . I keep a lot of Coda clips handy because I can remember everything. PW does nearly everything out of the box that EE + X amount of add-ons does. There are some aspects to building a site in PW that are 'harder' like categories and tags but PW offers a different and, without doubt, more robust and useful way of accomplishing that through PageListSelect. I've put sites together in EE with page-tree type add-ons which takes users away from the entries list pane and into a pseudo tree-like structure. It's so easy to screw up an entire site. PW's pages hierarchy takes away any confusion and just makes sense. From there, as you know, you can not only pick and choose what pages you present through the API. The other great aspect to PW is the community right here. I haven't come across one so accommodating and friendly in a long time. The only other one I can think of that's comparable is the Luxology (3d) forums. It really does make a huge difference when learning new tools and knowing that you can post noobie questions and get helpful responses. Regards Marty

I've been a user of textpattern (my first love) and ExpressionEngine. I came to ProcessWire after looking through Ryan Scherler's portfolio. I was searching for an un-bloated CMS that had some of the features I like of both txp and EE - custom fields, templates as files and a few other things. I knew that if I picked up PW I'd struggle at first because of my lack of PHP knowledge but I didn't fancy getting into bed with another tag-based system either. I found that the API wasn't that hard to get my head around and that if I applied myself to learning some PHP I could do some of the same things in PW that'd be a complete pain or required numerous plugins or add-ons in txp or EE. I've gone through a few system upgrades with EE I can honestly say it's a complete PITA. Only having to upgrade one core directory in PW is a dream and a half. After a while I decided to set PW as my go-to CMS. It successfully out-ticked txp and EE on quite a few of my recent projects. Being able to build a site is one thing. Putting it in front of a client that hasn't used it - or any other CMS for that matter - is a great testament to how well thought out PW is.

Yes please. Were you also working on a front-end form for users to update their profiles? Or did I dream it? Cheers Marty

Nice work Marc.

Can you post your PW template and CSS code?

@alex Thanks! @zach The type collection is coming along. I don't know how big it'll be although there's an interesting development that'll go up on the site this week. @charliez Impediment is another business that has a large type collection. STW are going to show off what they have. Regards Marty

Actually I have one question. All your images are super sharp. Did you tinker with the wire/core/ImageSizer.php setting for image quality?

Hi Alex, That looks absolutely fantastic. Regards Marty

A site I built in EE a while back had a similar scenario. I had a few rows of images with a check box next to each that, when checked, made that image the hero image. I haven't tried this but could you not use the repeater field with the thumbnails and check box field to say use this image's large thumbnail and use the smaller thumbnail for the remaining images? I haven't played with the repeater field yet so I might be talking nonsense.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. @diogo Thanks, that section you're interested in is being worked on The logo is a scan of some wood type. @soma I've crunched the images down a lot more and taken your suggestion regarding the background colour. @bill I'm not using the repeater module in News and I probably wouldn't for a news-style section anyway. It's just entries. When we get to fleshing out the Collections area then repeaters might come in handy. Regards Marty

Hi, http://www.sylvantypeworks.com.au/ This would have to be the smallest site I've done in PW. It's for a local artisan print shop that's branching out into recreating complete (or incomplete) wooden type sets. The end products are suitable for use on a letterpress. My client (who prefers the hands-on approach to type) made a point of telling me how easy he found ProcessWire to use. Regards Marty

Hi all, I have a question or two with regards to Users & Roles. I haven't been anywhere near that part of PW so I'm not sure if this is possible or not for this site I'm looking at building. Can I import a lot of users (say 400) into the system? Can I assign each user to their own page (essentially a profile page with a dozen images) without them being able to see any other page with the PW admin? I noticed in the roadmap that for PW 2.3 there may be forms for the front end. Will that include the ability to edit pages? Thanks & regards Marty

Ryan, This is more that I had hoped for when this feature was mentioned a while ago. Outstanding work. Will this makes it's way into PW 2.2 or future versions? Regards Martin

Sorted.

Hi Antti, I used soma's code line from the previous page. I've double-checked that the InputfieldCropImage.js isn't cached. I just tried that line with 'mouseenter' instead of 'mouseover' in Firefox 10 and I don't get the image hovers. Scratch that. It appears to be work now. I was at this for an hour yesterday. All's good now. @ryan I reinstalled it (now to FF10) and it works fine now. No idea why it stopped me logging in even after FF's numerous updates recently. Regards Martin

Hi, @diogo That's a good idea. I think she's going to change them often that she may not bother. That and I think she may have forgotten where and when she snapped the images. @ryan Thank you.

Hi, In Chrome and Safari (OS X) this line works: if( e.type === 'mouseover') but this line (in the latest commit) doesn't: if( e.type === 'mouseenter') I can't test this is Firefox 9 because I can't even log into PW with it. Regards Marty

Hi everyone, I've just launched another ProcessWire site for Melbourne-based artist Andrea Innocent: http://www.otoshimono.org/ Thanks to all who helped me (ages ago) with all the navigation questions I had. Regards Marty

This has been mentioned before and there was a module in development. I'm not sure how far along it got though. Having a centralised file and image area would be a killer feature. edit: here it is:
