I've been using DigitalOcean for about 3 years now. The upsides are: - cheap - they charge by the hour, so you can create and destroy droplets all you want (for testing/learning) without incurring large fees. - lots of tutorials if you're interested in learning how to do a lot of stuff - 99% uptime for real. Never experienced any downtime in 3 years. - freedom! Since it's an unmanaged VPS, you get to choose exactly what's in it. Downsides: - fixed plans. You can't customize your VPS specs outside of the preconfigured ones. - you have to do everything yourself. If you're new to unmanaged VPS's, it will take a lot of trial and error to get things just right. All in all, it was a great experience. I highly recommend it specially if you like learning about how to manage your own VPS. Also, try to look into AjentiV. It's a very cool VPS manager that I promote just because I think it's awesome and it's free, just like Processwire. <3

Hi, I've been using your (and clsource's) helper to create webservices for our webapp/androidapp project. I just want to ask if there's any advantage or downside in using the supplied $params array over the api's $input->post or $input->get? Thanks.

Is importing field of type FieldtypeOption supported? I've been trying to, but the module won't pickup the columns for Option fields. Thanks.

@kongondo I'm importing on a local server. I was looking into the code to find something that's causing the slowdown, but i couldn't see anything unusual.

I'm trying to import a csv with 50,000 rows. Each page only has 2 fields - title and code - both has the same content. So far it's been running for 3 hours. It's moving but it's at a rate of 3000 per hour. Is this normal behavior? Is there a way to make this faster? Thank you.

I posted on a separate thread some days ago on why this would be useful, and it seems you had the same use cases that I have a need for (or had in mind). I tried doing something similar with Propel ORM, but there is a steep overhead and I got nowhere.Thank you. I will play around with it and possibly give some feedback.

Weighing in a bit late. We're running things on DigitalOcean as well, with Ajenti and Ajenti-V as VPS manager. We run Processwire on Nginx.

Hi, I'm also looking into this. I've built a handful of small websites using ProcessWire, so I think I have a pretty good grasp of the "ProcessWire Way". But I think this is still a valid question when you're thinking of building an application with a large back-end. I'm currently looking to build a loyalty/marketing campaign platform for a medium sized company with possibly 100,000+ users and thousands of rows of data being entered daily, and I think it makes sense to store the data separately from the PW tables, especially because exporting the data to other forms (for paperbased reports, charts, etc) is one of our biggest concerns. I know the $db exists, but I was hoping to save some time and sanity by going ORM. I'd like to know if some of the veterans here have any input or experience in doing this. I was playing around with Propel (http://propelorm.org/) and thinking of using it with ProcessWire, and see where it goes. Or, is it really 100% better to stick with pages+templates to maintain a database of this size? As always, thank you wonderful people of ProcessWire.

I'm running multiple processwire installs on a VPS with Ajenti V as my lab/dev vps. The how-to-forge processwire in nginx helped me configure it properly. I definitely could feel the speed improvements over apache.

Is there going to be a Site Export Module for 2.4?

I'm starting to think we should replace the Skyscrapers demo with this Pirates version. Although personally, I like ryan's original piratey voiceovers.

What is he trying to do exactly?

2.4 working great! Thanks for all the hard work, Ryan! One quick question, does the site exporter/importer work with 2.4?

Hello PW lovers! I'd like to ask something that I haven't seen discussed much around here. We're currently at the early stages of planning a buy and sell site. I have been using processwire for more than a year, and I have always been impressed (and thankful) at the ease and speed that it lets you roll things out the door. This is the primary reason that processwire is on top of our list. We are projecting (hoping) that the site will get lots of hits, and it's nature is very image intensive. While i know for certain that processwire scales very well, I can't help but worry that in time, it would not hold. So what I really what to know is if anyone ever tried to run processwire on one server, with its database on another server and possibly multiple database servers with load balancing. If not, how hard would it be to accomplish this? We're not afraid to put in a lot of effort to get this working as this is a long term project. Any insight about this would be greatly appreciated, as always. Thank you. Oh, and congrats on Bitnami win! Processwire really deserved that!

Works fine now! Thanks for the quick fix. Also, found another bug in the login screen on your latest update on both latest chrome and ff. The fields are off by a few pixels to the right.

I've been playing with this theme and it looks really great. Although, I found that the caption bars are not working in my case. They are small and are not clickable. Has anybody else encountered this? Or just me? I'm running the latest master and with nothing else changed.

Perhaps the template context would be useful here now to render the widths of the field.

http://modules.processwire.com/modules/form-save-reminder/ I often also forget to save before viewing. This module from soma, takes care of that problem.

@Macrura, yes it does, all the pages shows up correctly when accessed by /page#. I also tried changing the limit, and it's the same. The content of the last page doesn't load.

I've been wrapping my head around infinite ajax scroll from the most of last night. I had it working, although I can't seem to reach the end of the pages. If I have 4 pages, it would scroll up to page 3 and won't show the 4th page. I'm not quite sure why.

This sounds great, and even better than getting the width from the context. I have been looking into the code, and if I understand it correctly, I might be able to help with this.

I tried your suggestion, nothing changed. All fields are stacked at 100% width.

Great module, antti! I've been playing around with it and it looks great! Is there a way to use the column width of the inputfields as defined in the templates? It would be nice to preserve the layout of the fields and show it like how it is on the backend. Edit: evan's screenshots looks like it has column widths, but how? Thanks!

Thanks for the help! I was running an upgraded 2.2.9 to 2.3.0, that's why the PageAutoComplete module did not register to the available inputfield type. I just uninstalled and reinstalled the module, and it worked.

Hi, everyone! I'm trying to use the BlogProfile for the first time after tediously creating a few blogs from scratch. Everything was going well, until I tried organizing the "tags" field, and placed a value under Advanced>Tags. When I saved, I noticed that the input method for the tag field of posts changed. It used to be some sort of single line entry asmselect wherein you hit enter to add a new item, but now it's a regular select input. I tried removing the value in Advanced>Tags, but I can't make the input method go back to the original one. I was also able to duplicate this in a new install of the BlogProfile. So I guess my question is, what kind of input method was the tag field using, and how do I make it use that input method again.. Thanks a lot for any help. And as usual, you guys rock!
