  1. Aaww nuts! I wish I had come across this before committing to 320andUp. Seems like a great alternative. I've already converted my pixels to em/rem and all widths to use percentages. However my mediaqueries are pixel based. Be cool for my next project, thanks for the link Ryan.
  2. Reminds me of that project I read about on KickStarter and the project was banned for collecting funds for this guy to start his own KickStarter site
  3. I just viewed this. About to download/install. But wanted to ask first: does it update/upgrade without Admin intervention? like ... silent as a ninja? or does it require a button click or something!?
  4. Four words! I almost thought it couldn't be done! lol
  5. Soo ... Upon looking at any cool web page, I instinctively 'View Source' and was pleasantly surprised to see this: <link rel="stylesheet" href="/site/templates/styles/layout.css" media="all and (min-width: 43.236em)"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/site/templates/styles/layout-small.css" media="all and (max-width: 43.2359em)"> Of course I quickly resized my browser window. GREAT job gang!!!!
  6. I feel the same way Joss.After I downloaded and tried ProcessWire, I later found the Blog Profile, installed that into a new setup. While I really like how well it's designed (html and css wise). I couldn't grasp HOW things were getting pulled together into the page output. Diogo explained it simply, and I think I may have to give it another go soon.
  7. We were looking at our Google Analytics, etc. and found that almost 70% of the traffic are mobile devices. A huge number are 320px wide and less. Which really surprises me with the boom of Android and iPhone visitors - since many are larger than 320px now. Instead of working with too many mediaqueries, I'll just focus on the full width and the 320px< one. Off topic talk is great, it helps to spur new ideas. I actually decided to skip the GridPak and use semantic.gs. I figure I can't go wrong with a percentage based solution. I also skipped the 320andup approach, as it offered lots of baseline and reset styles. Maybe just a simple normalize.css + semantic.gs UGH, I hate being so undecisive, lol
  8. This is my first ever responsive build. I've done plenty of fluid and fixed. I've read TONS about best practices. How to do. What do to. etc. But I'd like to discuss with you how do YOU start something like this. Perhaps I can learn something new today. Anyone use 320andup? What is your preferred method for designing mobile first?
  9. Hiya gang! [waves and slaps some High Fives to those nearest to me] My current client wants to go responsive on his website. I built it earlier this year using Foundation 2.x. Now that v.3 is responsive, I thought I might give it a much needed upgrade. While going through my files I noticed that I didn't use much of the framework. Only the grid, the modal (Reveal) and the slideshow thingee (Orbit). So I was thinking ... hhhmmm ... instead of upgrading Foundation 2 to 3 ... I'd really like to give 320andup a shot. And since it doesn't use any grids, I may use the the gridpak generator, or just take what I need from Foundation. I've grown quite fond of their layout (div.row>div.columns). OR It just may be easier to use Skeleton for the grid (I don't really like having to use 'alpha & omega'). FlexiSlider or BlueBerry for the slideshow. Reveal is available stand-alone, but I really want to minimize my dependence on too much javascript. I've seen several nice HTML5/CSS3 based modals around.
  10. A common password scheme for me is something like this: 1Every2Little3Bit4Helps5 or QlittleWboEpeepRhasTlostYherUsheep! Regarding the thread: I think this is a great way to secure the backend.
  11. Superb idea! As Joss said, make it *required. I previously was a big user of ExpressionEngine, and changing the default '/system/' folder was the first thing I did. On my personal site, I changed it twice a year paranoia, hah!
  12. A recent client bought me a year service to TypeKit https://typekit.com/plans Previously I used Google webfonts, because they are free. But for any times I couldn't find there, I used FontSquirrel.
  13. I could have sworn there was another part to this tutorial that included images?!
  14. Sometime last week, this auto-prompt notified me that ZenCoding would no longer be supported. It made mention to emmetio, so I checked it out on github, then installed via package manager. I didn't use ZenCoding to its full potential. Mostly quick HTML building, so I'm not sure how much has changed, but the features look impressive!
  15. I love SublimeText2. If someone experienced with ProcessWire were to share some snippets for general use, I think that would really help many users.
  16. Sublime2 + emmet plugin (formerly Zen Coding) https://github.com/emmetio/emmet Previously I used Notepad++ (for many years), EditPlus, and UltraEdit.
  17. I came across this recently. Responsive CSS Framework Comparison Bootstrap vs. Foundation vs. Skeleton http://responsive.vermilion.com/compare.php
  18. Kickstart looks like a great 'feature rich' framework. I tried it but quickly dumped it in favor of something responsive. I found this recently. It makes some good comparisons between Foundation[2/3], Skeleton, and Bootstrap. http://responsive.ve...com/compare.php
  19. FANTASTIC theme! Really love the color scheme, it's very soothing Mr. Nikola. I made a few minor changes to 'main.css'. #latest { text-transform: capitalize; } #latest-updates ul { width: 240px; } #latest-updates ul li { margin: 0 0 0 20px; } #latest-updates ul li a { display: block; } #latest-updates ul li a:hover { border-right: 5px solid #0fa8da; padding-right: 5px; } I just like having the Latest Update post links as blocks. It makes for easier clicking
  20. [Reviving an excellent topic] I've been trolling around here for a while now. I have yet to launch a ProcessWire site. But I truly find the support and users here to be among the friendliest around. A central repository for common and useful snippets would help me and many others new to ProcessWire
