The site won't have many pages, big maximum a few dozen, but all pages should be available in 3 languages, maybe more later. I think that the fields solution would be better for the client because it looks easier to translate each page if I can put each language in its own tab (can anyone give some directions on this BTW ?)... also it looks that this solution is easier for sharing common content, for example images that are not language specific !? Not sure about multilingual urls, do the visitors notice anything about urls ? Is it important for search engines ? But I'm also afraid that additional fields may be difficult to manage: it means that for each page I create, I have to duplicate most fields for each language, and if I have to add a new language, I have to go through each page and do the same thing again (take note of fields names, types, order, and create new ones accordingly)... Ouch !

Not really :-\ I've already read every posts here about multi-languages, but I still can't make my mind...

Oh welcome back ! Thanks to the top posters here, I didn't even notice you were gone ;D

Currently, and considering the future developments in PW, what's the preferred solution to manage multi-languages websites ? The multiple trees structure, or the duplicate fields ? Or something else ?

I made a bookmark from the link "Show unread posts since your last visit" at the top (in fact I made it a Speed Dial in Opera) and when I open that page, I then always open each unread topics I want to read in a new tab and click the "Mark all messages are read" before actually reading the newly opened tabs.

Does it break only on his machine ? Does he have the opportunity to test the site from another computer ?

He's not only quick to answer, he is also clear, didactic and informative. I don't have time to play with PW currently, but I'm always reading new posts just because the answers are always interesting.

Looks good in Opera too About the colors, the only little think I don't really like is the gradient in the navigation bar.

Yes, looks nice. Small typo in the copyright line, can you spot it ? PS: also, on the "Harta" page (contact ?) your emails are clearly visible even though there is a text message saying "This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it." (I have javascript enabled by the way, so I think it shouldn't be here). So spambots have no problem finding your emails.

Hmm, now I want to see what you did ! About the 2 sites you converted to PW, were they custom builds or did you use any other CMS/CMF ? Links ?

Yes but the compliment was for the whole thing: everywhere I sneak in PW, I see smartness

I can only applaud PW is a great little CMS, and your logical and reasoning seem to be just right in every part of it.

Looks like a better solution than the one I was thinking of :-p (which consisted in checking if the variations found were not also listed as page "main" images)

I didn't say that I wanted to upload the same image with another resolution, just that I wanted to upload another image with a similar filename. As Apeisa said, a client could upload such a file. Ok so that answers the first part... But I believe there could be a problem with the second: in Pageimage.php there is a removeVariations function that "deletes all the alternate sizes associated with this Pageimage", based on a regular expression. So, still if I understand correctly, if you delete "hyatt_interior9.jpg", won't it delete "hyatt_interior9.0x1001.jpg" too ? (it's ok to delete "hyatt_interior9.0x100.jpg", but not "hyatt_interior9.0x1001.jpg" which is supposed to be a totally different image, not a variation !)

Hi ryan, I have one question about the way images are managed in PW: if I understand, the resized images are cached in the same folder as the images used by a page (folder named by page ID, under the "site/assets/files" folder is that it ?); in case I've uploaded an image called "MyPhoto.jpg" and use it in my template as a 100 pixels wide thumbnail, I'll get a file called "MyPhoto.100x0.jpg"... But what if I now want to upload an image called "MyPhoto.100x0.jpg" ? Do you already manage this case ? Or if I upload a new image called "MyPhoto.250x78.jpg", will it be erased if I delete the previous "MyPhoto.jpg" ?

I don't know if it can help, but coming from the Delphi world, this thread made me think of a problem I encountered long ago and made me remembered a tool I had a look on back then (gnugettext), so I searched about it and found this: http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/gettext/Plural-forms.html

Where is the file uploaded at first ? That is, before being moved to site/assets/files/... ? *Moving* implies copying then deleting the original file so the original file could be in a (temp ?) folder that is not chmoded to 777 ?

Any opinion on Disqus by the way ?

Oh thanks, it was one of the rare points that was unclear to me. Again, your explanations make it obvious.

Ah ok, that's about what I would have done manually but I thought there could have been some automatic checking/renaming in the "save" function, as the url is already automatically formated after the name (and I guess there is a process of removing forbidden characters from the url ?). But that's fine to me, just something to be aware of.

Cristal clear, thanks. How do you manage duplicates (title) from code (in PW administration one receives an error if an existing item already exists under the same parent) ?

What I meant is that, on the Page List (treeview showing the structure of the site), when you are selecting multiple items, there could be one or several additional buttons allowing to do some action on those items: delete, move, ..., for the whole selection. And why not, allow modification of common properties or settings. But that would be very tricky For example one would select 3 pages and be able to modify the status (hidden, locked) of the 3, or the roles... or the template used, etc.

Hi, Does ProcessWire provide functions/methods to access the DB (connecting, querying) ? Is it possible to use PW to manage (read/write) custom tables ? Also, how did you process all the data you put in the demo ? I mean, you didn't manually create and fill a page for each city/architect/skycraper ? Thanks.

By "auto-completion" do you mean some kind of filtering ? ie. I start typing something and all elements matching are displayed somewhere for selection ? And about the multi-selection, a quicker way could be to add checkboxes to items and some button to validate the selection. Checkboxes could have multiple usage, the button having a contextual action (could allow deleting multiple items, or changing some common properties like the template associated to a page...).

I watched your video demonstrating the Page Fieldtype, very cool and all, and I also like your asmSelect plugin and your explanations for its reason to be and its usage, but I think the video also demonstrates that there is a need for some easier multi-selection control ! So many clicks to select one page, then a second one, and a third, ...
