Good idea! Video or no vote! I like it.

Felix: Thanks for sharing your methods, much obliged.

Hey Mike,

If you're looking for a more engaging way to collect info, I highly recommend TypeForm. Although not a ProcessWire solution, it's really a great service that's easy to embed.

Have a look at some of their sample forms - I think you'll be impressed. They also make it easy to view, download and filter the data collected as well.

PS: I don't work for TypeForm - I just really like it ;-)

Cool! I'll go check it out, thanks for the suggestion.

For voting I would require fb, google, twitter (etc...) or email authentication. Makes it harder to cheat the system.

This is a good idea as well. Thanks.

Ok, how's this work for you?

Holy smokes, I wasn't expecitng a module that fast!

Gotta love this community...just like that...here's a module! Thanks Adrian!

I know, this is one of the reasons I recommend PW so often.

It appears Adrian is on a mission. Let me know when you'd like me to test and I'm happy to do so.

Do you mean some kind of "did you mean" list of suggestions a user sees when they get the 404 page (in the frontend), based on the url they tried to access?

Yes, that was my idea.

So there will never be a 404 for those links? Seo?

It's more about attempting to retain your visitors by giving them something else to read. It should still report as a 404 but give a list of options such as "Were you looking for?" and a list of posts.

I have an idea for a module that I think might be useful. When I was on WP, we had one we could install that would auto search for whatever the user was trying to find whenever it encountered a 404 error page and present a list of matching options. As I have a few 404's showing up on my MOZ.com report, I wondered if this would be something other members would find useful as well. I thought I'd throw it out there if someone thinks it might be useful. I'd be happy to donate a few bucks to the development of it if there's someone willing to take it on.

A good suggestion, thanks for the input.

Good Morning Everyone!

As you know, we're a proud Processwire website that (thanks to this awesome CMS) hasn't looked back since moving from WordPress. We're so pleased, we're launching a couple of new sites also based on the same feel that Mr. Amazing (Ryan) developed. (For future reference, he shall now henceforth be referred to as Mr. Amazing whenever I write a post).

I'm planning out the upcoming 2014 Critics' Choice CMS Awards and would love to hear some creative thoughts as to how to use Processwire (or some other method) to come up with a creative voting and nominations process.

Last year, I used FormBuilder and made a simple form that people needed to submit and while it worked fine, I'm wondering if there's a better solution that might be a bit more engaging. I'd love to hear anyone's ideas / thoughts as to what options might be out there.

Thanks in advance for your time!

~Mike

Its an LG GPad running android 4.2.

Mike, which tablet are you using again? I'm thinking it's an Android tablet, but don't recall. I've only tested on my iPhone and iPad, so probably need to expand the touch device testing into Android a bit more. We're using a separate mobile menu that's geared towards touch interfaces, but I'm guessing it's not appearing, and you are getting the desktop menu from the sounds of it. Hey H

I have a suggestion for the admin when viewed on mobile devices. While it scales nicely, the drop down menus do not pause long enough to allow for a selection from the drop down menu but rather go to the first level of the menu. For instance if I user my tablet to select the drop down for Setup... I end up getting no time to make a selection. The drop down appears but the Setup page loads before I can select any items. I've seen it done before where on mobile or waits for input and you would then re-select setup if you truly wanted to go to the root.

Just a thought

Mike

Tried it out this morning and received the following error:

Recoverable Fatal Error:     Argument 2 passed to WireHttp::post() must be
of the type array, string given, called in
/home/critic/public_html/site/modules/ServicePinger.module on line 62
and defined (line 40 of /home/critic/public_html/wire/core/WireHttp.php)



This error message was shown because you are logged in as a Superuser. Error has been logged.
 

I'll give it a try and let you know, thanks Ryan.

Morning everyone,

A quick question. Having come from WP which we were on prior to PW, we used to have the ability to have an automatic ping sent out to a variety of URLs to notify them when a new post is published. This is common behavior in WP and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how to make this happen with PW.

This link explains the logic / how it works: http://codex.wordpress.org/Update_Services

An example url might be: http://rpc.pingomatic.com/

Thanks in advance,

Mike

I've just tried using it to input something from rafflecopter into my post but it does not seem to work correctly. The code from rafflecopter is:

<a id="rc-603abd0" class="rafl" href="http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/603abd0/" rel="nofollow">a Rafflecopter giveaway</a>
<script src="//d12vno17mo87cx.cloudfront.net/embed/rafl/cptr.js"></script>

but when I add to hanna code and insert the tag into my post, nothing shows up. I've selected javascript as the options as well.

I didn't know about ModuleManager, but I'm on my way to find out.

Personally, I think PW is better off focusing on the CMS rather than worrying about building a forum solution. This just distracts and removes time better spent on expanding and improving an already excellent CMS. There are plenty of exceptional forum solutions out there already, why not use one of them? A native one just become a lot more work starting from scratch when tons of options already exist.

That's my two cents.

I'd have to say the auto saving of drafts is rather huge for me, specifically. My whole crew writes directly within the CMS and I can't count how many full articles I've lost due to not clicking save and keep unpublished. It's a huge pain.

I'd personally be very interested in a module that allows me to check for updates of my existing modules and update them indiviidually or in a group. I'm not referring to updates within a directory but rather performing a check against the module directory here. A simple button to click that would then list the differences between available and what I have would be ideal.

Just a thought but I can see it adding value for sure.

I just figured this out. In the field options (which I identified above) I have the following in my ckeditor toolbar box:

Format, Bold, Italic, -, RemoveFormat
NumberedList, BulletedList, -, Blockquote, JustifyLeft, JustifyCenter, JustifyRight
PWLink, Unlink, Anchor
PWImage, Table, HorizontalRule, SpecialChar
PasteText, PasteFromWord
Scayt, -, Sourcedialog

and they work well. Hope that helps.

How do I add the text-align option? I added the option (justifyleft, JustifyCenter, JustifyRight, JustifyBlock) to the toolbar, downloaded the plugin justify from the ckeditor website and copy it to the plugins directory, also put the name of the plugin (justify) in the configuration extra plugins. Text-aligns buttons appear but are disabled, anyone could help me to make this work?

You add them in the field options. So for instance, go to edit field -> body and in the ckeditor settings->ckeditor toolbox text area, add the appropriate functions you want to have enabled. You can get a list of them from here: http://docs.ckeditor.com/

That's what I'm wondering too–potential JS errors. 

Mike, with your permission, I'll check your site to see if I can spot anything obvious. Installing CKEditor may be a good idea, but since you and your editors are already used to TinyMCE it probably makes sense for us to try and debug it first. 

Please go ahead. Thanks Ryan.

How do we go about switching to that Ryan?

Looks like spellcheck no longer works. I've got some obvious ones in there but it fails to find any errors and continually says "no misspellings found"

It was missing a couple of flags. I've fixed it. Thanks for pointing that out.

It looks and works great on mobile! It has all the possibilities to become very popular. Good luck!

Glad you like it. Ryan's a code genius so it's better than I was hoping for.

Sounds awesome. Let's make it happen!
