  1. Hey,

    Been using this starter theme for a little while now and thought I'd open it up on github - https://github.com/benbyford/bb-starter

    It has all my favourite modules installed, .less, some hany .js libraries and a set of blog templates for a simple news / blog setup. The theme is built on the simple theme from PW with additional setup. For more info see the Readme.md file on github.

    See it here - http://bbstarter.nicegrp.com/

    Thanks everyone for your continued work and fun using PW.

  3. Think the crop images module is probably the best option here as it creates the image straight away but slightly fustrating if you dont want to install any new modules etc. if you changes the image field to a crop field would it create the crop images for the site or only when you edit that page?

    not sure how i would set up a cron job - might be time to try

  4. Hello!

    I often have to change image sizes in templates using the ->width() or size functions and on a image heavy site this a cause timeout errors or massie lag before all the images are resized when changing to the new template.

    I was wondering if there was a good way of creating these images without having to hit each page on the site for the template to be called and images updated? Basically to avoid the errors?

    Thanks

  5. Been working in pw for nearly 5 years and it's still receiving constant updates and getting better and better. (While some other cms' have fallen by the way side).

    Show them some of the other agencies using pw and refer to the security supports tickets (I am yet to have had a security issue with pw which hasn't been server not application level).

    Also tell them Drupal is verbose and painful to template and create modules for, and Wordpress is shit for most things... Both are the case :)

  6. retina: anyone having sucess with either picture or srcset as im not fond of polyfills and nothing seems native yet  so have been stuck with 1.5x images sized in css.

    minimize: does anyone know if this module has a fail back technique as i would love to use it but worry if the service let down or locked me out etc...

  7. literly no idea what im doing

    $value = $input->get->access_token;
    
    $http = new WireHttp;
    
    $para = array(
    	'count' => 1,
    	'access_token' => $value,
    	'min_id'=>'',
    	'max_id'=>''
    );
    
    $url = 'https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/feed/';
    
    $data = $http->get($url, $para);
    
    // data should have data coming from instagram
    var_dump($data);
    
  8. Posting and getting may sound more difficult then Ryan has made it for us.

    To give you a simple example that extends Jan Romero's post:

    $http = new WireHttp;
    
    $request = array(
      'public-key' => 'xyx1234_what-instagram-wants',
      'just-a-key' => 'Just some value you want to add to your get request',
      );
    
    $data = $http->get('http://instagram.com/request/some/partt', $request);
    
    // data should have data coming from instagram
    var_dump($data);
    

    awesome. is that simply in the templates? i guess i could experiment and then create a module once ive got the basics down and learn a bit more about it etc.

  9. Mainly design, frontend, templating and js guy so building modules is both new and scary to me.I was merely wondering if there was a good place to start. For example, i was going to look at the twitter module as it will do a similar thing.

  10. I'm in the planning of building one, since I need it for a side project. I won't have time until end of June, but it's on the list.

    got any tips? got to get mine off teh ground soon for a client by the end of may
