This was the first full site I built with Processwire. We launched it several months ago, but I immediately got swept up in another project, and forgot to post it. In case the name didn't clue you in, it's a site for my bother's company. http://www.renobuilding.com

Hi Nico, Thanks. I built the site and all the sites in the portfolio long before I knew about Processwire. As soon as I get some extra time I'll be migrating it over.

I'm resurrecting this conversation in hopes that there might be a way to save my sanity. I'm working on a site that will have dozens of "mini-sites". I have managed to organize things a bit better using the delegate approach, however, as the site grows, I can still envision ending up with dozens and dozens of "main" templates that are uncategorized in /templates/. I've been using a naming convention to keep track of them, but my concern is that down the road this too will end up unmanageable. What I'd like to see (and I have NO idea of the ramifications with either of these suggestions) would be: 1. Somehow having sub-directories that get searched within the /templates/ directory (see my thoughts in the first post). 2. Allowing sub-directories and using something like "myfilename.template.php" to designate files that are templates. All that said, I'm mostly mentioning all this in hopes that someone might have additional suggestions for maintaining a large amount of template files.

That makes sense, and I like that your method allows you to omit commonly confused characters, and specify the length of the password. Like I said, lots in there for me to learn from.

Hi Ryan, Is there any downside to using something like this to create a random/temporary password? $pass = uniqid(); // generate random pass $user->pass = $pass; // Update PW with random pass It seems to work fine for me, I'm just curious if there's a reason not to use this method.

...and among a million other reasons, it's responses like this that make Processwire incredible. There's a lot in there I can learn from. Thanks for sharing.

What's a "right click"? Control + click does the trick, I never thought to look for that. Thanks for the tip.

The custom login nik linked above works great for exactly what you are trying to do. The version I posted is essentially just a small expansion on Ryan's original. I have further extended it to include password reset. I can post that code if you need it.

Ah! I wonder if you can do the same with Textmate? I haven't thought about switching in a while — might be time to look at Sublime again.

Hi Ryan, I've recently updated to 2.2.5, and now my custom login scripts won't login any users that are not Superusers. I'm using this script http://processwire.c...gin/#entry11290 that had been working perfectly in 2.2.3. Is there anything that changed with regards to how users get logged in via the API, or perhaps something I could have accidentally set in the admin to cause this? Users can still login in as expected from the native /processwire/ login. Update: This turned out to be some weirdness with Shibboleth (3rd party authentication) and not PW. It took me a minute to untangle what was happening. Sorry for the false alarm.

Thanks Ryan.

Hi Ryan, I think there might be an issue with the search (in PW admin) in 2.2.5. It seems to fail when searching for anything within the /admin/ pages.

The code bug is super frustrating, but overall I really like IP.Board — it's by far the best forum software I've seen.

Nice work, that is a great looking site.

Soma, The search within the admin. I've narrowed it down further, it only seems to fail when searching fields that are assigned to the user template. I had my default search options setup to look for first_name, last_name, title. edit: ...and no, I don't have it limited to another template.

Hey Ryan, I just upgraded my dev site to 2.2.5, and my search doesn't work anymore. It just fails to find anything, no matter the fields, type of search, or search term. It's possible I'm missing another step in the upgrade process, but everything else seems fine.

Thanks slkwrm, I forgot to look in the Roles Module options *slaps forehead*. ...and of course, it's just that easy. Much appreciated.

I'm using a 3rd party authentication method (Shibboleth) with Processwire. Some roles in Processwire are granted/removed based on a attribute Shibboleth passes back after the user authenticates. However, there are also some "local" roles that are granted in Processwire directly. Since there are going to be a lot of roles, I need to a way to keep track of where they are set (ie: Shibboleth attribute, or in the PW admin). I added an additional field to the "roles" template called "set_by". What I can't figure out is how to show the "set_by" value next to the role name when viewing /processwire/access/roles See screenshot for an example. Any help would be much appreciated.

Marty, Super nice work as always! One small suggestion, keep the prev/next arrows for project navigation in view even when scrolling down the page. Some of them are quite long, so scrolling back up is tedious to do for each one. I realize the keyboard navigation works (which is nice BTW), but I find a lot of users don't use key nav, and end up relying on the actual links.

Saaah-weeeet! This is a much needed addition — thanks Ryan!

If you make it in Atlanta I'll bring at least 5 people up from Florida — hopefully more by the time it actually happens.

Ah, right — jQuery is not going to handle any of that.

If it can indeed become a 3rd Party module, I'm willing to contribute cash if someone is will to create the module.

Hi Ryan, yeah, I figured there would be some conflict there. What about as a 3rd party PW module? The developer license would seem to permit using it in that context. From the FAQ: "Can I include Redactor in any products that I intend to give away for free? Sure, you can do this after purchasing the Developer License. In this case, you are allowed to include Redactor in all your open source projects, including those published under GPL, BSD, etc." I don't know a lot about licensing, so there could be some very big reasons this is also incompatible.

Hey Pete, Here's one to add to the list of useful things. http://redactorjs.com It's a jQuery based WYSIWYG editor. So far I like it a lot more than TinyMCE.
