  1. I'm trying to install PlugoBrowser, a TinyMCE plugin, for a client, but the installation steps for PW are clearly different from the documentation on their site. I'm not having any luck so far. Here's what I've tried: 1. Install the plugin using Soma's instructions. This allows the plugin's pop-up window to open when I click the toolbar button, but the pop-up window seems to be filled with templating language directives like {#GET_BLAH} instead of the correct fields. The console shows: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Page Not Found) http://www.example.com/site/tinymce/tiny_mce_popup.js 2. Install in the TinyMCE-3.5.8 folder under /wire (obviously not ideal). The plugin seems to register OK, but when I use the toolbar button, I get: 404 not found --> http://www.example.com/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldTinyMCE/tinymce-3.5.8/plugins/plugobrowser/dialog.php Any help is appreciated!
  2. One of my MODx clients has requested file/image browser in their ProcessWire site. So I am going to try plugobrowser.com. Looks pretty good. Just FYI for anybody in a similar situation.
  3. Thanks, Pete & Tom. Tom, I first looked into Shopify based on your feedback about it, so thanks for that. Best of luck during your swampedness.
  4. Thanks for the info. I just migrated a site to PW from MODx. What a zoo. I ended up using some crazy MySQL concats to get big globs of data out into CSV.
  5. I was checking out the site last month. Seems cool to me. The service stands out because they are communicating great value at extremely low prices. I have colleagues who will barely build you a stock WordPress site for $5K, and there is practically zero focus on any kind of marketing or user decision-making. Usually there's also more to the story that you can't see on the website. Examples: Yes, we advertise $5K / 2 weeks but most of our clients are just loading us up with ongoing work that is much more expensive. We probably couldn't take on your project. Yes, we advertise those things, but we recommend that you do X, which is our cool new thing, just a bit more expensive. OK, here is your $5K / 2 week design! It was fun to work on. The results are looking great so far! Here is a list of things we think we should help you do next. The cost is based on some multiplier of the original cost. Yes, we do all that, but this is kind of a side gig for us. Once it gets really serious, our prices are going to be up there with everyone else's. Thanks for contacting us--right now we are booked 6 months out. If you're willing to pay more, however... Thanks for getting in touch. For your special project we think we'd approach this as a consultancy. We think we can do X,Y, and Z for you. Let us know if you can afford a weekly rate of $X. If so, I think you'll like the results... The value they are communicating, and their prominent voice, will probably give them the ability to pick the best from lots of different potential clients. So they can say things like the points above to people who have deep pockets and deadlines, and it works out fine. It can be weird and depressing to see this stuff as a fellow web designer, especially if you have ever charged more than that for a site that is considerably less hip, but they must have realized that most web firms are very hesitant to write down a cost and time, especially if they do amazing work. So they stand out based on that alone. But as I said above, there is usually more to the story. They also develop proprietary widget-type stuff that is pretty neat, so it's not just great Photoshop work. There's also the concept of the "smart site" and the various qualifications you jump through as you get ready to get in touch with them. They want a specific type of person who has either already bought in or is willing to be very flexible. Overall I think there's a lot to learn from this approach, but it can't really be taken at face value. I'd be interested to hear what they're up to right now.
  6. I am looking for a developer with experience using both Shopify & ProcessWire. US-based developers only for this project, please. Please contact me at: marc at marccarson.com; feel free to mention any experience you have with Shopify, PW, & e-commerce. Budget for this developer's work on the project would probably be north of $5K but could change as we discuss the client's needs prior to submitting a proposal. Thanks.
  7. I can kinda see how you could do the parents' own logins & permissions relying on pages & page fields for management of what users can see rather than extending the actual PW user system. But maybe I'm a bit inexperienced with ways of incorporating actual user accounts with a template in ways that a back-end editor with no interest in PHP could manage. That's why I'm thinking so much about page fields here. I think something like this could be helpful perhaps--once somebody registers, they are a new user and that user gets its own corresponding page. Then you let editors add that page to page fields to basically white-list the kid's mom for areas where she should get access. But what I really want to say is, I'm interested to know what others think. ;-)
  8. Hey Marty, really nice work there. My favorite is: http://martywalker.com.au/sydney/city/george-street/ <-- great texture and color. I think the typography turned out great, too. One thing I thought might be nice while navigating was a global arrow navigation as opposed to just per-section arrows. Like a lazy arrow nav. Made me wonder how one would make something like that in PW. Thanks for sharing.
  9. You should look up XAMPP instructions for e.g. Joomla on Youtube. There are great simple video tutorials that show you how to set up a database and run your PHP app. I think you'd be able to follow along with ProcessWire files & setup just fine.
  10. Good point, but I wonder if you could narrow it down to types or subjects that work well with this style. Macro photographers might really benefit, for example.
  11. Example: https://github.com/stojg/slycrop/blob/master/slycrop/code/SlyCropEntropy.php Seems like this might be a nice way to auto-crop.
  12. Web Matrix, is that like CPanel for IIS or something? Do you have to use it, or can you install PHP applications the manual way?
  13. I like Initializr's approach because it's less frameworky but still a nice place to start on a responsive layout. I have yet to try Foundation, so maybe it'll change my mind. It seems like a nice project. I just don't like to pull more things out than I put in.
  14. Awesome, thanks everybody. And thanks for the explanation, Ryan. I'm looking forward to improving my regexing
  15. I have a client who had a previous site where they were just pasting analytics code (two types) into TinyMCE, so now all of their bodytext fields are kind of polluted with that stuff. What's a good way to remove this--assuming it'd be best just to do it using the PW API? These are script tags bracketed by HTML comments.
  16. Pretty blown away by all the help! Horst, I'm excited to check out the module. Sorry for the late reply but I really appreciate this. Marty, great looking photo site and thanks for sharing the way it works. Congrats on being featured in the e-newsletter.
  17. Wow, very interesting information here, guys. Thanks very much. It seems like EXIF data gets stripped pretty easily. Here are some questions: 1. Is anybody doing a combination like: Attempt to read EXIF but fallback to custom fields for focal length, f-stop, etc. if EXIF data isn't available? 2. GD strips EXIF tags, but that only applies to resized/cropped extra versions of the image, right? Like those automatically created in the assets folder? Or does it somehow strip EXIF tags from the original as uploaded? Hope I understood correctly Thanks!
  18. I'm considering a project where I may need to extract EXIF data from images and display it on a site. I've looked over methods of collecting the data, like external classes, and it seems fairly straightforward. But I'm wondering if there's any reason I can't use the Images fieldtype (and accompanying methods to resize) with tools like these, or anything else I should know? If anybody has experience with this, I'd appreciate any information you can share.
  19. I wondered if it would be possible to use e.g. the Inspector together, to modify a website and talk about changes, but I'm guessing not?
  20. Nice work. Keep in mind that you can use e.g. another approach like a single main.php file. I think Soma explains it pretty well.
  21. I like the convenience of using the find method for simple search purposes, but I can see cases where a more formal search tool would actually save time. Good points.
  22. It's sort of looking like no to me in the default setup, but maybe you can just create your own special password fieldtype with different requirements? That's a module, after all.
  23. You might be able to pull this off in the text editor, but it'd be pretty volatile. I have no idea what purpose that data serves, or who would update it and how often, but all that aside it looks like the sort of thing I would do with PHP using the API.
