Ok thanks for the ideas. Eventually I got it working by using my own pagination buttons - just next & prev. as the PW MarkupPagerNav module did not suit me in my scenario. I just work out what page should be displayed and send a param in my Ajax call so that the body rendering loop in my "webservice" file outputs the correct rows from the table. PW pagination uses the page numbering in the template and the renderPager() renders links that call a template instance with a page no. not what I wanted in this case.... maybe it could work nicely with delayed output - I'm still learning this, but this worked for me - so a big thank you to the above folks who gave me ideas!

Has anyone used pagination with ajax driven content? I'm using the MarkupPagerNav module to give me pagination, but my content is updated by an ajax post to refresh the body content of a table. The pagination links show a myproject/http404/?page=n for each link generated so they give a 404 page not found. I believe this is because the file containing my ajax code resides in the root of my project as a "web service" and does not have the access it needs, but I'm unsure really. If anyone can throw any light on this I would be very grateful. I include the code with my ajax below. <?php namespace ProcessWire; require_once ('./index.php'); // bootstrap ProcessWire if($config->ajax) { $pg = $pages->get("/single-use-carrier-bags/"); $selector = wire('input')->post('selector'); $mytableContent = ''; // hold the table markup // $retailer = $pg->children($selector); // for info. only $selector looks like this -> $retailer = $pg->children("sort=title, include=all, limit=10"); $pageinate = $retailer->renderPager(); echo $pageinate; foreach ($retailer as $r) { $mytableContent .= "<tr> <td><a href= '$r->url' target='_blank'>$r->title</a></td> <td>$r->category</td> <td>".numFormat($r->no_bags_issued)."</td> <td>".numFormat($r->gross_proceeds)."</td> <td>".numFormat($r->net_proceeds)."</td> <td>$r->other_use_net_proceeds</td> <td>".numFormat($r->amount_donated)."</td> <td>$r->good_causes_in_receipt</td> <td>".numFormat($r->no_paper_bags_issued)."</td> <td>".numFormat($r->no_bags_for_life)."</td> </tr>"; } echo $mytableContent; } ?>

Thank you very much for taking the time to do this! That looks just what I need to point me in the right direction, at least I now have some hope I am starting off in the right direction. I will let you know how I get on and if I get stuck on some aspect of this I will probably be bothering you again... ! Regards - Paul

I have a table in my template that I would like to update using Ajax when a button is pressed. I am not sure how to go about this and hope somebody here could point me in the right direction. Here is my code for the table output. You can see I loop through the fields to output using a hard wired selector to list the retailer type. I have a button for Supermarkets that fires a js handler myFunc and I need to put the ajax there to call this page again with a param so I can then form the selector for supermarkets and update the table. When I get this working and understand how to do it in ajax I will code up a selector that is formed dependant on a bank of buttons and the table will update without the rest of the page - like magic! That's what ajax is for right?! Thanks for any help - Paul <button type="button" onclick="myFunc()" value="1" class="btn btn-primary">Supermarkets</button> <div class= "table-responsive"> <table class="table table-hover table-striped"> <thead> <tr> <th>Retailer</th> <th>No. bags issued</th> <th>Gross proceeds £</th> <th>Net proceeds £</th> <th>Other use of net proceeds</th> <th>Amount donated £</th> <th>Good causes in receipt of proceed</th> <th>No. of paper bags issued</th> <th>No. of bags for life</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <?php $pg = $pages->get("/single-use-carrier-bags/"); $retailer = $pg->find("category=DIY, sort=title, include=all"); foreach ($retailer as $r) { echo "<tr> <td><a href= '$r->url'>$r->title</a></td> <td>".numFormat($r->no_bags_issued)."</td> <td>".numFormat($r->gross_proceeds)."</td> <td>".numFormat($r->net_proceeds)."</td> <td>$r->other_use_net_proceeds</td> <td>".numFormat($r->amount_donated)."</td> <td>$r->good_causes_in_receipt</td> <td>".numFormat($r->no_paper_bags_issued)."</td> <td>".numFormat($r->no_bags_for_life)."</td> </tr>"; } ?> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> function myFunc() { } </script>

Hi bernhard thanks for your help! Great so can I do away with the separate php file completely and do my server mail sending all in my contact file? If so, I can just check if the send was successful or not and display an appropriate message. I'm thinking it would be nice to have a dedicated page after sending the mail with a few other bits of info. on it - if I did want that, how can I invoke another PW page from this point in the contact page? Many thanks - RuShy

Hi. I have a contact page form that collects user queries in the usual manner and when validation is ok it does a method = post with action = contact-form.php to execute the sending of mail from the server. This is all fine and works well, but when the sending is done, I would like a landing page in my project to be displayed. How would i do that? I've tried adding PW code to the contact-form.php to invoke my landing page but I think this is not in scope as nothing happens. Many thanks for any guidance. Paul

Hi Bernhard and also abdus Thanks for your reply guys. I have found the place to enter the image description is when loading the image in the page. The image description field is hidden unless you select the edit mode or 3rd option for thumbnail display as shown below. So I was putting my text in the wrong place. Now it works fine!

Hi I can't retrieve the description field of an image. I follow the example below from the API : http://processwire.com/api/fieldtypes/images/ scroll down to Image Properties heading, below that it says that "Here are all the image properties that are present with every image:" I have created a field of type images, and added it to my template, loaded an image, and in my page it displays fine. I added a description text in the description field and also tried in the template (override option) but it is always blank. Any ideas? I must be missing something simple here? I'm using the latest version of PW. echo "<img src='$image->url' alt='$image->description' />";

Thank you DaveP I searched the forum a bit more and found some similar problems people had encountered and I managed to get it working now! I'm not sure if it was related to the .htaccess you mention, but I changed an entry in my /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file - the AllowOverride was "None" and changing it to "All" and restarting apache has done the trick. I think it allows rewrites to my /var/www folder? Anyway many thanks for your help - let's see if i can make some progress now...! <Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory>

Hello I've got off to a bad start trying to install PW on my local offline server, I must be doing something wrong as I have a bit of experience with Wordpress and it's running fine on my server, but I like the look of PW and hope to try it. Anyway I downloaded and unzipped the PW installation, the installation seemed to go right through ok, everything passed on the check lists. I selected the Default profile, and then when I try to click on Admin access or view the site I get "Not Found - The requested URL /processwire-master/about/ was not found on this server. Apache/2.4.10 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80" Simply because the /about folder does not exist! It seems the profile has not been installed by the installation process despite everything else being ok? If I type localhost/processwire-master in the browser I get the Minimal Site Profile "What is ProcessWire?" page but the links work "About" & "Site Map" don't work as the folders are not there. Bit confused as to why this is missing. Please put me out of my misery if it's something obvious I am doing / not doing! Many thanks - rushy
