  1. In the Information Technology (IT) world there are many types of people working their craft. It's important to always remember that everyone is not a professional. It's a rat race and a highly competitive field. One of the life lessons you will ultimately learn is that getting good advice that you can trust is a very rare occurrence. I say all of that to make a point ---- Whenever you get advice (and I mean always good solid technical advice) on this ProcessWire forum, you are one lucky and fortunate individual. I've been involved in IT and Telecommunications as a career since 1977 and this is the first and only community where I know I can readily trust the advice. I have read these forums every day since 2012 and I learn something that can help me out every time. I currently have over 400 Evernote clips of ProcessWire forum solutions. It doesn't take you long (if you're smart) to realize that the ProcessWire Community and this forum are a foundation built on honesty, integrity and a will to help others. These knowledgeable professional web designers, programmers and developers could easily use the great code and never waste a moment explaining anything. The fact that they do provide solutions and explicit instructions should make you take a moment to reflect. I know I do on a regular basis. We all come here from somewhere else and I honestly believe that anyone coming here is relieved to have stumbled upon ProcessWire. It's a very open Community and Ryan listens to the wishes of everyone. We all should strive to be IT professionals and be known for the expert advice we give to our clients and others. That takes a dedication to learn or re-learn the right ways. Teppo is correct. If you ever want to be respected as a true professional (no matter the career) you must walk the hard path and always tell your clients the truth. I take ownership of each and every project I work on. I value my good name and would never let one of my clients jeopardize it doing something I know is technically wrong. Sometimes you have to remind your client (and also remember yourself) why they hired you. Good luck on convincing your client to do the right thing. It shouldn't be hard if you gather all the facts and present it to them in a professional manner.
  2. There are downsides to all Operating Systems (Windows included). What we should celebrate is that there are people who are expanding the horizons and coming up with new ways of using computers. The more Operating Systems developed, the better it is for the common folks who are tired of the expensive, bloated and bug ridden releases by the big name Commercial vendors. People will always gravitate towards the newest systems. Combine that with ease of use and viable software then you have a winner. Consumers will switch to new technology that they feel is useful for their daily personal, work or recreational lives. I'm a Linux desktop user, however I would be the first to admit that for the non-technical, Linux appears to be hard to learn, inferior and basically weird. Linux gets better every release, however there are a lot of people invested in a Windows or Mac world who will never see themselves using a Linux desktop. What's really amazing is that some of these same individuals would scoff at anyone removing their Linux Server or Open Source tools. I applaud Windows, Android, Mac OS, iOS, Linux and any other Operating System out there. The reality is that if it wasn't for governments, universities and individuals who believe in standards, non of what we have seen in the last 40 years would have been possible. I ask that we give each Operating System a chance. It may not be for us but it may work for someone else. Normally innovation in one Operating System usually makes it's way to all the other Operating Systems over time. That's always a good thing.
  3. That footer information on your site (that remains) is located in the SiteMap.php file which should be in /site/templates directory. You just need to edit it and replace with whatever you need.

    You and Apeisa are incredible. Thanks to Avoine for again sponsoring ProcessWire development.
  5. I had to re-read your last post! This is fantastic. Thanks.
  6. I would like for you to release it and thanks for the great work
  7. You guys are too smart. I'm learning a lot today.
  8. While that's one way of dealing with a mobile site, the other way would be to use a mobile-first front end framework (such as Bootstrap 3 or Zurb Foundation 4/5) and develop your site at your abc.com domain. I would be very interested to know why Baidu thinks (for SEO purposes) that the separate mobile site is better than a consolidated website (mobile and responsive) at the same domain.
  9. Can you please post an updated FormBuilderEmail class that uses wireMail() sooner rather than later. Thanks.
  10. Images Manager is a fantastic and very useful module that I install on every ProcessWire site. I have a couple of sites on 2.4 and haven't experienced any problems.
  11. I finally got around to actually checking out this module yesterday. A very useful module with great configurable options. You saved me many hours of work. Thanks.
  12. Congratulations on a superb and beautiful website.
  13. An option until this is fixed is to either FTP the AIOM folder to the /site/modules/ directory on the server or Go to Modules and click New and add the Module by typing in the Class Name.
  14. A very nice website, with incredible graphics. Very beautiful.
  15. Thanks for the tips, I will check those out. All of the framework profiles are great learning tools.
  16. Technology evolves and you just have to evolve when things change. The basics I learned in the 80's are still applicable today. Each new technology builds on, circumvents or basically changes what was hot yesterday. If you are serious about learning you will keep up and prosper. Don't look at new ways of doing things as a challenge, look at it as an opportunity. Don't be scared or hostile to reinventing yourself. Good Luck in your endeavours.
  17. Networking via LinkedIn, through a contact I hadn't heard from in years. They contacted me and I originally helped them with some Windows PC support. I then redesigned all of their forms. Then I helped them get out of a couple of bad costly support contracts. I next created a custom IVR solution for them which replaced a support contract that was costing them $800 a month. New projects continue to this day.
  18. This website is a recent conversion from a Joomla version built over 2 years ago: https://www.olddominionmc.com My client, Old Dominion Medical Center (ODMC), simply loved the ProcessWire-based colors when I showed them the original "FoundWire" demonstration prototype. This website is a modified version of the original FoundWire Demo Profile that is now using the straight CSS version of Foundation 5. It's my personal preference until I can find the time to install Ruby and LESS/Sass tools on my new development desktop. For this project, our primary objective has always been to have a simple customer-facing website that presents their patients with vital information about the practice. Our secondary objective is to continue to use the website as an information portal for their back office day-to-day operations. Some of the first ProcessWire applications I built (over a year ago) were in direct support of ODMC. I continue to expand their Intranet to incorporate many administrative and support functions not covered by their EMR/EHR system. The following are the critical ProcessWire modules that make this website, especially the Intranet shine: Form Builder Pro Cache Modules Manager Images Manager (which, to me, is the greatest of Soma's many useful modules) Hanna Code Page Edit Field Permission Changelog Custom Upload Names Login History Redirects Template Editor Import Pages From CSV JQuery DataTables Plugin AIOM+ (All In One Minify) I have special thanks for Joss Sanglier (for his fantastic FoundWire Demo Profile) and Ryan Cramer (for his Foundation 4 Profile which got me very interested in Zurb Foundation). There are many others out there to thank (mainly the developers of the above listed modules) that have made my transition to ProcessWire most enjoyable. I'm still learning.
  19. @Sinmok, From your example you are trying to add a tooltip. I don't know what front-end framework you are working with on your website, however with Zurb Foundation 4 you can do a tooltip using Hanna Code as follows: Your Type would be Text/HTML. Then you just add the Hanna Code in a field that supports Hanna Code. This may not answer your specific request for having Hanna Code within Hanna Code, but it does show how a tooltip can be added using Hanna Code. Good Day.
  20. One option is to install a self-signed SSL Certificate on your local machine. There are numerous instructions on how to do this on the Internet. I have referenced one that applies to Windows users to get you started. http://www.howtogeek.com/107415/it-how-to-create-a-self-signed-security-ssl-certificate-and-deploy-it-to-client-machines/
