+1 THat would be a good feature...

Yes I have. I even made a PDF version of it... but for example I do not want to Grep the code to find addHook for example...

Playing with stuff I wanted to create API Docs for PW. On doing that, I stumbled on the ApiGen Generator project @ http://apigen.juzna.cz/ and went ahead and submitted PW. You can check the results @ http://apigen.juzna.cz/doc/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/index.html Enjoy!

Where can I find info about the render() function? I am reading a lot of stuff and sometimes the output of an array or variable is rendered and sometimes it is just echoed? I am confused!! :-

Can you tell us how you figured it out? For posterity!!!

I just wanted to be nifty with PW using the following code: <?php foreach($page->Meta as $m) { echo "<meta name='$m->MetaName' content='$m->MetaContent' />"; } ?> and then create a repeater with all the info of the metas and make it global and pre-populated (hence this thread). But now that I know that: 1) global templates are not good in general (and I had not have luck removing the global from the field) and 2) that a repeater field cannot be used pre-populated (stored values) there is no use for the repeater and I will just use the two fields metaName and metaContent in my template along with the other metas... Thanks a lot for the info and the discussion... I really appreciate it.

So use two "array" fields to put all the Meta info and then just spit them out with a loop? What "array" fields are there to use?

Thanks Ryan, I thought the same about going Global with the repeater. As you mention, they will appear in the templates that are not going to be published too. Will keep learning PW and will be waiting for your solution... in my case is just convenience (Meta declarations) of not having to fill all of them on each page - just want to input keywords, description for each page and have the rest the same.

Thanks Soma, that was it! What a basic mistake... well... thanks again...

I created a repeater in my SEO tab for my META statements (I know they are not fashionable anymore, but I still use them). I am trying to access them like this: <?php foreach($page->Meta as $m) { echo "<meta name='$m->$MetaName' content='$m->$MetaContent' /><br/>"; } ?> but I get this: <meta name='1011->' content='1011->' /><br/><meta name='1012->' content='1012->' /><br/><meta name='1013->' content='1013->' /><br/><meta name='1014->' content='1014->' /><br/><meta name='1015->' content='1015->' /><br/><meta name='1016->' content='1016->' /><br/><meta name='1017->' content='1017->' /><br/><meta name='1018->' content='1018->' /><br/><meta name='1019->' content='1019->' /><br/> What am I doing wrong? If I use the variables inside a <p>, they work fine printing out... I am a noob... be gentle please...

If I take a repeater field and make it global with 8 sets of 2 text fields AND I populate some of them, would they hold the values? or do I have to do something extra to save/populate the desired values...

Nice little site! Amazing that they do it handmade and it is still usable! Looking forward to the Type showcase... is Impediment Press the same biz?

Are you guys using Responsive Web Design? or are you guys doing custom websites putting mobile in a subdomain...

Yep, really nice for customizing the client experience! Small details but they add to great features!!

Excellent Case Study!! I like the way it is written because it can be used for distribution to promote both ProcessWire and Ray Dale.com I am a newbie so I have some questions if I may... - The ability to have a custom admin url What is this? URL segments? - Good security with flood control What is "flood control"? - A powerful and flexible templating system (that was also simple) Is there a templating system? I thought that there was none, just PHP. Thanks for the Case and I am also getting in the "pages are everything" state of mind!!

I like it, I like simple websites! Very nice, easy to find the info needed and loved the masthead with changing images... Congrats!

Thanks slkwrm, Yep, I am coming from the MODX realm, hehe. I still think that it is a great CMS, but I really like PWs simplicity of doing things and its jQuery back-end. SO the building blocks would be like mini-pages... and then they are called in the template. But then I need to populate the "blocks/mini-pages" with fields and maybe PHP? 8) Do you have an example of this? or a link to the docs/forum about this technique?

Thanks for the fast responses, Sinnut & Jasper! - Nico's blog module looks really good, and a great start to improve on it. Thanks for the link. - I found user management after I ask the question, thanks, looks good too. - Yes, I want to use jQuery in front and in the back. The front is as usual, including it and the plugin. In the backend, I will use it to enhance some customers experience. Tables, tabs, etc., good to know that it is included. - I am thinking on using the fields as template variables. I will try it to see if it works. I will call in my template the major building blocks as fields (content, aside, footer, header, navigation, etc.) and then fill them in with HTML in the admin. But to make a variety of layouts, I could call more fields (echo them) inside the field. For example: divide the footer in three and call the blocks 'left_footer', 'right_footer', 'middle_footer' in the field. All this fields will be hidden from the users, and are just created for ease and consistency of the developer. Thanks again... I will play more with PW, looks great!

While this is in development, I will vote for OpenCart. I starte using ZenCart (but it is old), then went to Magento at the beginning (but it turned into a behemoth) and lately I checked LemmonStand, Interspire and OpenCart. Both Lemmon and OpenCart are really good. Lemmon is commercial and its modules do add up and thus the cost, but I found it very well developed. OpenCart is really good for what it makes, simple ecommerce shops.

Hi, I am thinking about switching to ProcessWire. So far I am really liking what I see but I have a couple of questions: - Is there a Blog module in the works? or is there a best practice for blogs? - What is the best way to do login/authentication to the website? Again, is there a module in the works? - I see that there are some jQuery modules. Can we run jQuery plugins just by including them or do we have to create a Module first? - Can we input PHP code in the fields? or just text and HTML? Thanks in advace for you advice...
