    This is the craziest coincidence ever! I was gonna post here later today.

    Although I am back to Windows for 90% of my hobby/work, I run Debian on an Acer Chromebook C720 and it's perfect! 

    For fun I have a Raspberry Pi3 connected via Ethernet to my router for tinkering and stuff. Looking forward to a simple NAS project.

  2. I used to develop solely on Debian for over 6 years. I recently decided to get into 3D printing and much of the desirable software was Windows-based, especially Fusion360 (CAD design).

    PLUS I still run a *AMP stack through Laragon.

     

    Running a full LAMP stack on your PC is ssooo simple. Are you doing well with your setup?

    Already thought that with my basic knowledge it was a bit too early to write a tutorial. It was more a lesson for myself

    I think it is amazing that you took to writing a tutorial for us this early in your involvement with the community.

    Good job amigo ?

    I don't think but you could explain "in depth" what you need so we can suggest you something or even make something to get you started ?

    Well.

    I just finally got my localhost WAMP installation to send emails and was able to confirm 'Registration' of a test account using Ryans module

    And I am learning how to implement Delayed Output instead of Direct Output for my templates.

    SO. I want to make it simple for users to Register and create a Profile Page. 

    website.com/
    website.com/member/
    website.com/member/login
    website.com/member/logout
    website.com/member/*USENAME*

    GOAL: this is a Church website and we want Members to have a Member/Profile page where they can list their favorite scriptures. So a form would be needed that collects their input and is displayed only on their Member/Profile page. I've just started learning about Users and Roles. So they would only be allowed to edit and delete content on their own assigned created page.

    I've tried many different AMP stacks for Windows over the years and Laragon is the best. Among the useful features is a built-in mail sender:

     

    OMGOODNESSS!

    Yesterday I was on XAMPP, earlier today I was on WAMP SERVER ... as of 20 minutes ago I am now on LARAGON - and it is superbly amazing!

    My favorite feature is the easy at setting up VirtualHosts and the email server? Literally took seconds! THANK YOU ROBIN!

  6. I've spent two days trying to get my Windows 10 WAMP server setup to send the confirmation email generated by Ryans LoginRegister Module.

    It's a fine Module and I struggle with PHP and coding in general. BUT TODAY, I finally set it up and here is my HOW TO GUIDE for the community so no one else has to struggle as much as I did ? 

    STEP #1: download the sendmail executable here https://www.glob.com.au/sendmail/

    STEP #2: extract all the files anywhere you like. I chose, 'C:\Users\orgfel\www\_sendmail'.

    STEP #3: open and edit 'sendmail.ini', insert the following with your credentials:

    smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
    smtp_port=465
    auth_username=YourGmailUser@gmail.com
    auth_password=YourGmailPass
    smtp_ssl=ssl
    default_domain=localhost
    hostname=localhost

    I have 2-Step Verification set up for my Gmail account. 

    I was incredibly frustrated when I kept trying to configure the module WireMailSmtp to send a test email and it continued to fail. The prompt kept saying I had the wrong password. I KNEW I did not have the wrong Gmail password and it was driving me nuts! 

    I discovered that I needed an App Password ( Sign in using App Passwords). There's a generator process what give you a 16 character password that you put into your 'sendmail.ini'.

    STEP #4: open and edit 'php.ini', insert the path to where you put your 'sendmail.exe':

    sendmail_path = "C:\Users\orgfel\www\_sendmail\sendmail.exe -t"

    STEP #5: restart your Apache server and it should be working!

    STEP #6: create a simple page + template and paste in the following code for a quick test!

    <?php
    $to       = 'recipient@gmail.com';
    $subject  = 'Testing sendmail.exe';
    $message  = 'Hi, you just received an email using sendmail!';
    $headers  = 'From: [your_gmail_account_username]@gmail.com' . "\r\n" .
                'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" .
                'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8';
    if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
        echo "WOOHOO, email sent";
    else
        echo "BUMMER, email failed";
    ?>

     

    I completed my setup about an hour ago after having tried several other Windows STMP server solutions. They were all overly complex with too many settings that I just didn't need. 

    I hope that's it and that I didn't miss anything.

  7. I am developing this site on an installation of WAMP SERVER on Windows 10.

    I need some help and guidance.

     

    Using Ryans module (https://modules.processwire.com/modules/login-register/) I want to test new user registrations: 

    I've tried both WireMailSwiftMailer and WireMailSmtp modules but I think I need a SMTP server on my Windows machine? 

    I Googled a bit and found https://www.hmailserver.com/ I downloaded, installed and configured. TONS of settings and configurations. I followed the wiki guide but was not able to get either of the above modules to connect to the SMTP server. I tested each and both had errors connecting to SMTP.

    I even tried using my Gmail as SMTP - found a simple guide, but the modules kept saying I had the incorrect email/pass combination (which is inaccurate).

    Also tried http://mailslurper.com/ It has a terminal/command-line interface and was far simpler to set up, but still, I couldn't get the modules to connect without error.

    Finally I found https://mailtrap.io/ and was able to get WireMailSmtp to successfully connect - 'SUCCESS! SMTP settings appear to work correctly.' but I find no email in the address I used to create the new user account using Ryans module (login-register). I checked spam folder and nothing is there.

    I am absolutely stumped and wish there was a simpler way!

    ?

    I don't need the complexities of an email server for my development. Never needed it. And I am wondering, when 'Signing Up' using the Register Form, it outputs, '

    Thank you, a confirmation code has been emailed to you. When you receive the email, click the link it contains, or paste the confirmation code below.

    Is there just a way that I can view that confirmation code? Either on the backend or output to the page itself so I can skip the headaches of setting up an SMTP server?
  8. Hey folks.

    I want to resurrect this old topic and share my latest finding ?

    Source: https://www.jqueryscript.net/text/Fast-Word-Highlighting.html

    file: _main.php
    -------------------------
    <style>
    	.highlight {
    		background-color: #FFFF88;
    	}
    </style>
    
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="<?php echo $config->urls->templates?>scripts/jquery.highlight.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    	$('#content').highlight('<?php echo $q; ?>');
    </script>

    And optionally, I added this to 'search.php'

    file: search.php
    ---------------------
    	// did we find any matches?
    	if($matches->count) {
    		// yes we did
    		$content = "<h2>Found $matches->count pages matching your query: $q</h2>";           // <<<<< ADD: $q
    		// we'll use our renderNav function (in _func.php) to render the navigation
    		$content .= renderNav($matches); 
    	} else {
    		// we didn't find any
    		$content = "<h2>Sorry, no results were found for $q.</h2>";                         // <<<<< ADD: $q
    	}

    ?

  9. I have a site that I am working on for my Church. I know there's FormBuilder but I'd like to try and tackle this without a module - but sometimes that is not possible I guess.

    First: I came across plenty of links showing how to make forms via API but most seem out of date? 

    Second: We'd like for our members to be able to register, sign in and share/update their favorite Bible verses. So that's my first goal: I came across this A Processwire module to login, logout and register users / members in the frontend. It hasn't been updated since Sept.2016.

     

  10. I shared very little on my Github account. Just what I don't mind making public, simple projects .dotfiles.

    However on my Gitlab account, that is where I house all my client websites because of the privacy.

    I do have one repo that gets pushed to both, though!

  11. I am always curious as to how others run their development setups.

    I'm usually on a LAMP setup on my Debian Thinkpad. I've tried Vagrant but don't want to run an instance for every project. It's simpler enough for me to create a new project by editing my hosts file and adding some lines to my vhost config. A simple gulp boilerplate with the standard minification of css/js files.
