Back to topic : A lovely site! Me myself I'm a former Textpattern user and will always be thankful to it, because Textpattern introduced me to the freedom writing you own markup gives you. If you stay with PW you'll meet other fellow Texpattern users here.

As for the moment I'm posting this the URL miraopalinska.com only shows the directory index of the host. There ain't no index.php thus the site doesn't get rendered. You should immediately look after it, as this is a major security issue. EDIT: Generally you should avoid directory listing. Here is how to: http://www.ducea.com/2006/06/26/apache-tips-tricks-disable-directory-indexes/ If you are in a shared hosting environment you may want to contact your hosting company to switch off directory listing.

I suspect you are already a PW fan but would like to take the short route. That's not allowed, no. Sorry.

We all have some premade templates for this. But don't tell.

Just to make sure, this is not heading in the wrong direction: I'm convinced, everybody in this thread and in the community values your perspective. Thanks for contributing - even if many - including me - seem not to share your standpoint.

@argos I disagree and don't see any need for this. People will find out by themselves easily. No need for a warning sign: "Stop! Think twice! Apprehending ProcessWire could cost you some time and there is a chance you may feel disappointed!" Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not against accessibility. But please don't confuse this with "usability". If the documentation could be more accessible, than let's improve it. But your former statement addresses the core of PW: As I said, I strongly disagree with this statement. Not everything has to adapt to the lowest level possible. That has never been a good idea.

No. It shouldn't. Sorry, but this discussion is getting weird. The "more user friendliness party" is trying to make a race car suitable for the average driver. Not everything in life you come across is easy to apprehend nor should it be. There is enough stuff out there that is "everybody's darling", mostly weak average stuff that - if you dive deeper - causes more problems than it solves. Being based on coding skills belongs to the core strengths of PW. This is not a replacement for Squarespace or any other out-of-the-box website building system. And there is no need to become the next WP. Why not? Because WP is already there and does a good job. The market gap for PW is for advanced developers seeking for a precision tool where the sky is the limit. Unfortunately this requires a minimum learning effort of let's say half a day. If you can't effort that, there are plenty alternatives. Thanks.

I haven't done it for a while, but there used to be a method based on cookies. In short, you visited a dedicated page with all your relevant devices. The page set an "excluse me" cookie, which made this device not count anymore. Try to google if this method is still applicable. It worked fine for me.

I generally avoid templates because I mostly find it easier to start from scratch. I agree to this. Something is always wrong or doesn't match your specific needs and than you have to figure out how to make it work. This often costs much to much time. Call me a "control freak" but I like to know my code (that's why I like to work with PW and fight modules

CMSs make hand coding by editors obsolete (as it was usual in the ancient times), thus allowing content to be published quickly and easy. That's what I understand from this sentence. I don't understand, that CMSs allow to build web applications (sites, apps) without coding skills. Even WP requires coding skills if you want to take it one step further (in fact, it requires much more coding skills than PW does ...) .

Hi, wow, what a vivid discussion. A lot of people seems to be very much concerned about this topic. I'm outing myself as member of the "please, PW, stay as you are" party! Honestly, I fear all this requests for more "user friendliness". It turns out, that I seem to have a completely different understanding of "user friendliness" as some colleagues have - to me, PW is the most user friendly CMS I've ever worked with. I started my career as web developer with Contao and got sick of it within one year. It simply didn't allow me to do what I want, or it was a tremendous effort, to put things in the right direction. I then discovered Textpattern (r.i.p) and it was kind of a relief - for the first time I was able to realize my ideas as I wanted it - not only in terms of design, but also in terms of content management (yes, it's all about that). When Textpattern aged, I came via the TXP forum to PW and immediately understood that this tool will give me the freedom I needed. Since then, PW has never disappointed me. I can keep my head up in every meeting with a prospect answering "yes, we can do that. No problem", and rest assured that I will be able to keep my promises. And I am not a developer at all (I studied design and marketing). Which other system can give you that? Imho, this users are not the target group of PW and I personally don't want them to become influential on the system. Sorry. Every powerful tool needs at last a minimum skillset to make proper use of it. How would you like to build a house if you don't know how to lay bricks? Apart from that, I strongly second Joss' postings. EDIT: reems was quicker ...

That's true for sure. I'm not sure if we can and if we should. But - instead of walking in circles - I wanted to make another point: It seems to be widely agreed, that PW is not yet popular enough and that a lot more has to be done, to make it more popular. I'm not sure if I agree to that. Imo, PW is already on a good way to become more popular. I'm not saying marketing activities are unnecessary, but almost every day we see more and more PW prestigious projects go online, we see the community grow from day to day, we see more blogposts etc. etc. This is all very promising and we should relax a bit. PW is such a nice baby, it will make its way ...

Hi Ryan, I found this post pointing to 0.2.3b. Is it that what you mean? However, I did install in 2.5 in the meantime and it works fine. As ever, many thanks for your constant and kind support!

Hi Ryan, great to hear, many thanks. Is there a new version (mine is 0.2.2)?

Hi Forum, I bought a pro license for 3 domains soon after FormBuilder hit the market but have only used it for one project so far. I would like to use my remaining licenses now on a new project but wonder if my version from 2012 still works with PW 2.5? If not, how can I get an update? Do I have to buy a new license or is there a download for registered users? Thanks!

no, it's not just you ... +1

Contao CMS has a similiar approach but as far as I know this is not possible with PW.

Have a late breakfast at the central market in the morning. If you have some spare money, check out Restaurant La Biblioteca (http://labibliotecagourmande.com/). Have a drink at night at the beach, stay away from the tourist hotspots.

Hi reems, a nice site, thanks for sharing, though I have to second Mike's nitpicks with the anchors. However, I wonder if some more effort could be put into making the site more SEO-friendly? For example a browser title "HOME" is not helpful for robots at all. Check with Woorank or similar tools - there is some room for improvements.

Thanks, you made my day ;-) The code was inside a function, that's why I didn't find the error first. That's the point. Unsemantic doesn't break and IE7 gets a viewable desktop version. Yupp.

Hi and welcome to PW dupalski, I would suggest to take a look at the basic site profile that comes with the pw installation and analyse how it is done. The profile is already a simple website by itself. However, to succeed with PW at least basic HTML and CSS knowledge is required along with some (very, very) basic PHP skills (or the will to learn it). Different to that, one can get results with WP without HTML and CSS knowledge.

@adrian Didn't try directory opus, sorry. But I tried Cyberduck and TC is much superior in terms of FTP handling: Encrypted passwords, up to 12 connections in tabs, working off the server, directory bookmarks, batch operations, sync local/remote, diff local/remote, double pane window and so on ... (not to mention the features for local file management) Give it a try. And, if you look for a free solution, TC isn't free but the tryout period is unlimited ...

Try Total Commander. Looks awful but is the best file managing and FTP solution on windows. Nothing comes close.

I use Sublimetext with SFTP Plugin to create a similiar workflow as DaveP with Aptana. Works great. I rarely use dedicated FTP clients to work off the server.
