Maybe we are misunderstanding each other. A responsive framework allows you to have 1 field "featurelist" and the display will accommodate any device (tablet, phone, desktop, etc...). The logic (framework code) determines what device you have and displays the content according to the wishes of the developer. That means if you have other content that should show up on a tablet only, this is the optimum way to do that. That is covered when you use the front-end framework. If you are talking about responsive content, then that's a responsive solution. I'm sorry if I still am not talking about what you are looking for. My apologies.

Create a page and map your form fields to the page fields.

ProcessWire leaves the responsive content up to the developer. You are not limited in what front-end framework (Bootstrap, Zurb Foundation, etc...) that is used. There are existing responsive profiles already available that you can use. Others on this great forum will provide additional details. Welcome to ProcessWire.

Adrian, I agree. I believe it's more about being knowledgeable about the subject you are talking about. Ryan knows web development, PHP, listens and has a comforting way of explaining things. You are never left scratching your head --- you normally say to yourself "Yeah, that makes sense". A slick professional video sometimes can be a hindrance. This project and the videos about the project are very unique. They are not like all the other technical media you see these days. That video that Ryan made, was both honest and sincere. What he talked about was technically brilliant and outstanding. I believe we appreciate the honesty of this project and wouldn't be served much by a slate of Hollywood production type videos. ProcessWire sells itself. It's growing and getting better every month.

You could save it all to a configuration page that you create. That's how one of the options in Form Builder works.

Is it possible to move the PageTable comments to a new Thread?

I had been looking for a basic PHP web development tool. I originally searched under the terms "CRUD" and then searched for "Open Source web forms PHP". That brought up ProcessWire and I was intrigued. Custom fields everywhere and the language on the ProcessWire website reached out to me (expertly explained the who, what, when, where and how about using ProcessWire). Ryan's video where he explained what ProcessWire consists of, is in my humble opinion, the best introduction I had ever seen. I have been surprised that some of his other videos didn't have spoken text, because he is very good at explaining things. The Skyscraper demo had me hooked.

First, Welcome to ProcessWire. Both of your questions are doable as ProcessWire doesn't impose any particular structure on you. Hopefully some of the more knowledgeable members will give you countless ways of structuring your website. I do things differently that most people, so I would have a page and have the costs, alternatives and features show up on the page as sliders or tabs. Another way would be to have the costs, alternatives and features be child pages to test. You could have individual buttons or links to the child pages on the test page. As I said earlier, there are many ways to proceed with your structure and very smart forum members with innovative web development skills. Good luck.

FieldtypeSelectFile & InputfieldSelectFile
cstevensjr replied to Martijn Geerts's topic in Module/Plugin Development
You may want to also check other modules that you may have installed recently. I had an issue where repeaters wouldn't save and it turned out to be an issue with a recently installed module. I only figured it out by retracing my steps and uninstalling modules. -
Exporting localhost database into a new database throws error!
cstevensjr replied to n0sleeves's topic in General Support
What happens when you go to your new database in PHPMyAdmin, under the "Structure" tab and click "Check All" and change "with selected" to "Drop" and then press "Go", then try the database import again? -
Search results when logged in but not when guest
cstevensjr replied to digitex's topic in General Support
I believe that once you set the access to the template, it will affect what is searched (i.e search results). -
As I normally say about the enhancements, Wow!
-
The above does exactly that, however you are using ProcessWire's existing access mechanisms. When you give access to the templates, you only enable view access only. Then the groups/users defined with that password can only see that page. You can additionally make the page hidden, so that it doesn't show up in the sitemap, if you have one. As I said, there are many ways to do this, this just uses what's already readily available in ProcessWIre.

There are many ways you can achieve what you're looking for (that's a strength of ProcessWire). What I normally do is use templates and roles. Say we have Group A, Group B and Group C. I create the roles and give permissions, as required. I assign users to the Groups, as needed. I create individual templates for each group (i.e. "Access-For-Group-A", "Access-For-Group-B", "Access for Group C"). Each template has Access Security enabled where access is only given to a particular group. I will then create a page and in the Settings tab, assign the template for Group A. I then will create individual pages for the other 2 groups. When doing this I always disable Guest access on the templates. These pages serve as the access point for the private data for each group. I then create sub-pages below the main group page. Those pages take their access from the parent page above it. When someone logs in, they will only see the pages that they have access to. You can even have an individual assigned to two or more roles with this scheme. There are probably better ways of doing this, however this works for me.

A couple of other things to ensure: Make sure you are not logged in more than once (tab , browser, computer, location) when you are in edit mode. If you leave your browser open and have edited something, leave for awhile and then try to save you should get this error. If I am editing, I make sure I save before going away from whatever I'm working on.

Actually I was talking about the second and only due to the enforceable legal environment in the EU. I believe that there's never a need to be paranoid about anything, people just need to be aware of any technology and it's use or possible misuse. I find it amusing that many people think that intrusive behavior, like what you mentioned, comes from only over here. You mentioned one agency, yet It's a big world out there and there are many bad actors doing many bad things. We, as humans, tend to focus on where the spotlight is directed, failing to critically think about what the bad actors in our own neighborhood are actually doing. It would benefit everyone to realize that America is not the only place that has the talent, the resources, a desire and a will to get information they want at all costs. I only talked about European hosts as a better choice because its been proven that existing European laws and ethical behaviors are geared more towards privacy. The fact is that US based hosting can be cheaper, however you have to live with the legal rules that they operate under. That's an important and big difference. Whenever you're making a decision about something like hosting, you need to be aware of and be smart about many things. Having all of the details and not just a few facts, results in you making a better decision. I believe that whether you host with a US provider or someone under EU regulations is an important decision to make (if you live in Europe). Here in the US, we're stuck. I mentioned the subject mainly because you are somewhere where you actually have a choice to make regarding privacy. So, once again there's no reason to be hiding or fearing anything. Everything else about that agency and those discussions aren't even worth talking about, especially on this forum. Latency has always been an issue based on where you're at, the capabilities of your physical hardware and the communications/computer technology involved in getting the information from Point A to Point B.

The main concern, I believe, with managed versus unmanaged ultimately revolves around adequate Security (and I mean security at many different levels). I would never recommend that anyone put critical business-level resources on an unmanaged server. You do get what you pay for. In this instance, you are basically paying for peace of mind regarding the correct configuration and maintenance of the underlining server. I host with many different providers. I do have one dedicated server that is very unmanaged. I've been doing networking since 1977 and I still like to get out and work with a server at it's most basic. The only thing I have on this box of any consequence is a Subsonic music streaming installation. The music files on this installation are backed up in multiple other locations external to this server. If the server gets hacked, I research the cause (learning something new) and come up with a reasonable future counter-measure. I then strip this box raw and start again from scratch. Other than the Subsonic installation, this box is strictly for research purposes and sharpening/maintaining my reasonable Unix/Linux skills. The web host has a hardware firewall installed and I have a variety of software based firewall and intrusion detection tools installed. The point I'm trying to make is this ---- there are too many things you would need to first know & then implement to keep yourself reasonably safe. The bad guys have more skills and tools than you could ever realize. As you should already know, even with a managed server you must do due diligence in picking a knowledgeable and competent hosting provider. They are not all equal and once again ---- you normally get what you pay for. Even with the best managed hosting provider, the security of your web resources can be compromised. Most times, the biggest hosting providers are never the best, they have just gotten good at selling their services. You have to read between the lines when buying hosting services. I believe the most important thing is to be realistic and honest about what you really need, not want. Security and peace of mind always come at a price. Sometimes it's reasonable, however most times it's costly. BTW, stick with European hosting at all costs. I shouldn't have to explain why that is the truth. Good luck with your research. Best Regards, Charles

I'm a recent convert from Ubuntu and I still use Bluefish for my daily needs. I've downloaded a few others but haven't had the free time to evaluate them. [update] 25 May 2014 - Just tried Atom and like what I see, so far.

A very wonderful and remarkable piece of work. Thank you for producing this module. I believe and certainly hope that this module will further open the door for acceptance of ProcessWire in a lot of places. Kongondo, you have talent.

Thanks!

You did a great job and should be rightly commended.

Ryan, when you have more time, can you please write something up (more in-depth) on suggested best uses for repeaters, tables, multipliers and all of the new tools? It would also be interesting to know why you think some use cases are not good for these things. Thanks
