    Joomla! is the best!

    in Pub

    Posted

    Not so fast! :P

    Soma does this sometimes, and I've already seen a good amount of people thanking him for it. One could argue that it sounds rude —for an Atlantic person like me, so distant from the central Europe, it certainly does—, but the fact is that it's never only a personal opinion, as it always reflects the thoughts of more people. I know this is not a forum about CMS Critic, but since CMS Critic is so related to PW in some aspects, it makes all the sense to comment.

    Mike, you made your choices, and I'm sure you balanced very well all the aspects of your website. I have to say that I inevitably share Soma's concerns, It's not that I lost interest, as I still check the website from time to time, but it does feel a bit overwhelming, with lots of things happening at the same time and divided into so many sections. Also I noticed that there is lots of repetition in your tweets, and because I tend to not ignore your posts, yes, It can get a bit annoying. This doesn't erase all the merits, but does fade them a bit away.

    See? Soma can be much more straightforward them me, and we still haven't seen Joss's answer that will certainly come, he must be writing it for half hour already ;)

    Ok good to know. How can I improve it? What would you like to see? Less ads? which ones specifically are distracting? Should the in-post ad be removed? What can I work on with twitter? Less repeating and more personalized tweets?

    I'm good with feedback, it's critical

    Thank you for clarifying but there's that age old adage, if  you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Perhaps simply not saying anything at all might have been more polite than saying you lost interest in someones work is my point. It had nothing to do with the conversation and therefore, was unnecessary.

    I don't want to step on anyones foot (maybe), so ignore my ignorance and take it as a kidding post. I lost interest in cmscritic since I get overhelmed by the content flooded by banners. 

    Edit forgot the :D

    Do you have any constructive criticism on how we can improve this then rather than just telling me you lost interest in our site? We work hard to push products such as PW so I find that a bit insulting to be honest. I do have to pay the bills you realize so if there's a way we can improve it, do tell. I'm open to suggestions.

    Let's not jump the gun and start saying they don't deserve it. They fought hard for it and won. Fair is fair when it comes to voting like this. That's why I did the Critics' Choice part of the awards well. To ensure that there are two opportunities (one where voting numbers doesn't count) for projects to get their deserved recognition.

    RSS feed not validating

    Err, dare I creep down and suggest searching your installed files for "<!--/#content-->"?

    /netcarver shoots back up to safety.

    Found that in my main_php and since I use CodeAnywhere.com I can see it's not impressed with the placement of the </div> but it's needed so I'm not sure how to fix it.

    Module: CKEditor

    in Modules/Plugins

    Posted

    Mike, not sure you've read previous posts. To avoid wanton stripping of tags, in CKEditor, Turn off HMTL purifier and add add the extra code you want in the 'extra allowed content'....Disclaimer - not sure if this is the best way to go about this + Purifier important if you will be using inline editor mode...

    I actually didn't read them all admittedly as this is a long discussion and I was short on time but thank you for that. To be honest, I don't see a reason worthy of switching from TinyMCE if I have to disable switches and turn off options in order to make the editor work as intended, know what I mean?

    Module: CKEditor

    in Modules/Plugins

    Posted

    I'm unsure if anyone mentioned this or not but in the most recent dev release of PW you installed on my new site, Ryan, it defaults to using CK as the editor of choice. My issue here is that CK will wipe any basic div tags and other code you enter into HTML mode as soon as you go to save the page. The problem is there is no clean html mode that you can be in when you save so the wysiwyg editor begins to strip things. While Hanna code is a great module, it doesn't work well for instances like this and I've had to revert back to TinyMCE. 

    I prefer the look and feel of CK but not if these issues persist.

    My 2 cents.

    Bounty: Markdown Editor for PW

    in Modules/Plugins

    Posted

    I'd like to put up a bounty for the development of a Markdown editor for PW. Ace has been abandoned and I'm a fan of Markdown over standard wysiwyg editors. I'd like to see something similar to what they have in Ghost (minus the double panes). I'll start the bounty at $250 for anyone who is interested in putting something together that works. This would be a public module for the directory. 

    Any takers?

    Hi Mike,

    The link: "the amazing Ryan Cramer" doesn't link to a page. 

    Thanks for the beautiful article !

    Does now and thank you, glad you liked it. I seem to have stirred the hornet's nest a bit (makes note to do this again soon) and brought out some WP fanboys. ;P

    Mike,

    Thanks for the article. I haven't finished reading it yet, but it is looking good. I am still on page 1 and noticed this important typo...

    "...and why we prefer the latter" should be "...and why we prefer the former" :D

    Yah i just noticed this as well :undecided:

    Fixed. :P

    Hi Mike,

    Great article. I'll post some comments when I get a minute. First thing I noticed was the Pagination Textformatter in action— love it! :)

    Works like a charm!

    I just finished this article and wanted to post it here as I'd love to get some feedback from you guys in the comments of the article explaining why you work with ProcessWire. There's a great chance here to help spread the word a bit more for this awesome CMS we all love.

    If you have five minutes, please share your thoughts in the article comments. I'd appreciate it.

    Urgent help needed (rss feed broken)

    Posted

    I am in need of some quick help from anyone who might be able to assist. I've just discovered that our RSS feed is 8 days behind for some reason and I can't seem to get in touch with Ryan (he appears to be gone for a week). If anyone can assist, please drop me an email to mike@cmscritic.com (happy to pay for your time). 

    Experience PW users only please.

    Thank you.

    Mike

    Assistance with some related post code

    in General Support

    Posted

    I don't claim to be a code expert, I'm the type who hacks until it looks like it's going to work. I simply am stuck on a specific point right now. I've created a variable in my post.php to call related posts, I'm using this code:

    $related = count($page->related) . renderNav($page->related);

    I'm then placing it where I want in my post later. What's happening at the moment is that it renders the following:

    1 < - This i assume is the number of related posts.

    related post title < - This is the post title

    All is fine here except that I want to remove the number of related posts (or hide it) and show a title instead such as "Check out these related articles" in it's place.

    Further to this, I'm not even sure the code I am using is correct. Ryan originally was using an if statement to generate my related posts in my sidebar. His code is as follows:
     

    if(count($page->related)) $side .= "<h4>Related Stories</h4>" . renderNav($page->related);

    However, in order to place it where i want below in the flow of my content, I need a variable since that's how the rest of the post.php is generated.

    It currently looks like:

    * Final post markup
 *
 */

$body = <<< _OUT

    <article class='post post-full' $attr>    
        <header>
            <h1>$headline</h1>
            $meta
            $rating
        </header>
        $bodycopy
        $tags
        $related < - This is what I added thinking I was being smart
        $addthis
        $footerad
        $authorBox
         $comments
    </article>

    I added the $related and my code thinking this was the right way to do it but perhaps I'm wrong?

    I'm simply not sure how to modify the code in order to do so. I'm sure this is easy but, like I said, I'm still new to doing this stuff.

    Thanks in advance.
