  1. My point of view is that Typography is very important in the Web Development process. I'm no expert though, as I'm still learning as I go. I believe that good typography puts a finishing touch on a website. I use MyFonts, FontSpring and Adobe Typekit. FontSpring is my favorite, as they have what I believe are great rules on the use of fonts. I also do a lot of graphics work for my clients (forms, images, menus, flyers and documents) and I have gotten away from the default fonts and started to use different fonts on all my workstations. I plan in the next year or two, to invest more of my time in learning and appreciating the world of Typography. There's a lot to learn.
  2. Whatever the domain name of that cloned PW install is, that is what the config.php is looking for (the error that is displaying). Or to put it another way, If you clone an install, you need to supply a different domain name in the config.php file.
  3. Somewhere in your hosting you would have had to make a change (edit) to reflect that your PW installation is physically at a new location. If that's been done (automatically or manually), then you need to supply the correct domain name in the PW config.php file so it can pass authentication.
  4. Do you have your own user access system you are working with? I can be wrong, but the PW user profiles are normally under Admin/Access/Users.
  5. If you have moved to a different server, have you ensured that all your path statements reflect the move (different physical location of files) on this install?

  7. Some resources https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-arch-linux https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Apache_HTTP_Server http://www.tecmint.com/install-lamp-in-arch-linux/ https://www.linode.com/docs/websites/lamp/lamp-server-on-arch-linux
  8. May not be anything, however have you made a change in your config.php file to reflect the local website? $config->httpHosts = array('www.yourlocalwebsite.com', 'yourlocalwebsite.com');
  9. I like the website by Joss, even though I haven't changed my mind regarding music immediately playing on a website. Many original concepts and a lot of hard work must of went into this creative endeavor.
  10. Sticking my foot in this one more time. How about putting the tag=aside in the attribute like you did with the div?
  11. if you start with [[open-col-3]] and then think you can add to the Hanna Code tag, as quoted above, without changing the actual underlining code ---- it will never work. The tag doesn't do the logic, the logic is in the code that you define. The Hanna Code actually does more than I thought it did, so I retract my comments. I'm now more impressed with Hanna Code.
  12. The Hanna Code tag is just a shortcut for something that actually is valid Text/HTML, Javascript or PHP code. You cannot pass anything to the tag (title) itself. Create valid code and test it out. Then use the Hanna Code title (tag) for whatever that code does. Forget about this! https://processwire.com/talk/topic/3745-hanna-code/
  13. The great thing I like about PW is that you never are forced to do something in a particular way on the front-end. You actually have many choices on how your website is gonna be structured. I haven't found any other platform that gives you that amount of freedom to develop your website or application. That can lead to problems, because people are used to being told (forced) to develop or create a certain way. Once you start working with PW, you are left to decide for yourself. I believe that can be intimidating to some, because they never had the freedom to choose before. Over time, the light goes on in their head when they finally understand and realize that what gets created is whatever they want to be created. I believe it's very hard to settle upon the fact that you can design or develop with no limits to your creativity. PW is constantly improving with documentation and videos (and that is wonderful). The real truth is that PW is such an open platform that we could never cover or teach all the different possible ways of working with it. There really is no right or correct way to do things. If a certain way works for you -- that's great. If you change your mind and want to do it another way --- you can. What you ultimately end up with is a website based on your needs, crafted based on what you know how to do.
  14. One other thing to try is to create another SuperUser account, on this website, login with that account and see if you still have the issue.
  15. If you can access your site from another Windows computer and have no problems with CKeditor, then the issue still points to your PC. Next , you should see if you can access another PW installation so you can rule out any problems with the PW site(s). If you can access CKeditor on the other PW site then you have an interesting problem. Most likely you should still have the same problem which points back to your PC. If that's the case, then you will need to troubleshoot when the problem started occurring. You will need to take a look at any updates or new software added to your Windows 7 machine. That may be hard because most people don't really keep track of things like that. The fact that you mentioned Zonealarm peaked my interest, as it's always something to look into when dealing with issues on Windows PCs. Zonealarm has had many problems with Java versions in the past, however that doesn't mean that this is what's going on now. It just means you need to take a good look at you firewall setup and configuration. The main point is you need to quickly isolate where your problem is occurring, so you won't waste valuable time chasing ghosts. Good Luck on sorting this out. Best Regards, Charles
  16. You are on fire today! Great job!
  17. I would hope someone would have the courtesy to send me a pm, if they really had critical thoughts about my work. I would appreciate and take that better. As I tell people that I mentor, It's all about intent and purpose. Just my two cents.
  18. An example, This morning I took a 4 hour online course on "CSS: Frameworks and Grids". I took it because I wanted to better understand the subject. It was very beneficial, to me, because the course filled in the gap of knowledge about CSS Frameworks and Grids that I still didn't have prior to taking the course. That course and any others that I take helps me in developing websites for myself and clients. I put the time and effort into stuff I believe are important to my success. I have no problem investing in myself. Other people may not have to take courses to understand these subjects and I have no problem with that. I studied PW for over a year before I felt that I partially understood what was going on. I have a sandbox of domains where I practice and practice my web development skills. Some things I still don't understand and I will take a course/courses, buy a book/books, read a bunch of articles, study source code or learn from following the forum (where others have solved a problem). When I learn more about PHP, Javascript, Jquery, MySQL, CSS3 and HTML5, I increase my marketing value in a world of developers. PW has actually done me a great favor in that it requires a level of knowledge to work with it. I would never have taken the time to relearn the basics if it wasn't for PW. I owe Ryan Cramer a debt of gratitude. I'm a subject matter expert on a lot of things in Information Technology (IT), Networking or Communications worlds (and this is not me thinking I am, but based on documented fact). All that experience and knowledge doesn't make learning PW or PHP any easier and I still have to put in the time to learn the basics that apply to PW. I've done work in WordPress, Drupal and Joomla. They are very popular because knowledgeable developers have crafted modules and plug-ins that let anyone easily put together a website. Is the resulting website secure? Maybe or maybe not. That answer is always based on the knowledge level of the person developing the website. You have to know what and why you are dong things. As I said the other day, it's not magic. Good website developers have no problems with the learning process. I left those CMS because they required you to do things in a very structured way. PW frees you from all that BS. I hope everyone is successful using PW, however I know they won't be unless they invest some time into learning the basics. There's a level of understanding that everyone is required to achieve before they can successfully utilize PW. We can wish all day that there shouldn't be a level of knowledge you need. PW is basically PHP with a prettier interface and a dynamic API. If you already know PHP you won't have any problems with PW. If you know the other basic building blocks of web development you are well on your way. Not learning PHP is not an option where PW is concerned. Take it another way, if anyone took the time to learn PHP they would be remarkable with WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and a host of the most popular CMS in the world. They are all built on PHP. This is a great and vibrant community where the knowledgeable have no problems helping others understand the basics. That's what is going on in the PW forum on a daily basis. These are professionals who utilize PW to make a living. They don't have to share their knowledge, yet thankfully they do. To summarize, learning is important. If you don't value the learning process then theres nothing anyone can do for you.
