Looks interesting, Larry Botha! I'm familiar with MVC from playing with some Python frameworks, and I'm getting to the point where tools like Yeoman make sense. Also, the graphics on your site look wonderful.

I've been learning Python alongside PHP, and it's good that PHP is catching up in the realm of middleware/interoperability. Coding standards are baked into the Python language, and the entire Python ecosystem (including web framework middleware) is very modular/DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself). It will be great to see how ProcessWire addresses these issues while keeping its guiding principles - fun, simplicity, brilliant/powerful API and designer-friendliness - intact. It's worth checking out Symfony2's CMF documentation to see their approach. These posts are interesting as much for what they don't say as what they do. MODX may indeed be facing "irrelevance" partly because it hasn't been based on a decoupled framework... But there's also: the whole Evolution/Revolution fork the decision to use EXTJS in the bloated/slow Revolution back end an LLC whose business practices and project priorities seem out of sync with the wants/needs of the typical MODX user Also it's interesting how much the author disparages in-house innovation (developing new tools that may duplicate existing functionality) as an expression of "Not Invented Here." I like opinionated projects that take new approaches to solving problems. Maybe it's because I'm a musician, and love to see people offer their creative take on existing forms.

Thanks, this is awesome! I've seen people mention scripting PW installations, it's very helpful to see an actual example.

I've begun working on my personal site (focusing on my obsessions, pizza & music), plus starting to build an intranet for the mental-health non-profit where I work. The intranet will feature a knowledgebase (to be imported from MediaWiki), training materials, and will give me a chance to offer a sane alternative to the current "zillion Excel/Word docs scattered across the network" approach. I'm hoping to learn enough about XML and JSON to bring in employee info from ADP, and automate the reconciliation of a 300-page monthly Verizon bill via EDI. Plus, we're moving from an undocumented custom-built client database to an industry-standard Electronic Health Record. Developer of the current DB can't even provide a list of content from all the dropdown fields, so I've been grabbing the list elements from Firebug and pasting into a PW text field to strip HTML. In the process it's getting me to model the current DB so we don't repeat the same mistakes in new one.

Interesting, also it's heartening to know that ProcessWire will still be functional in the year 7598.

I had the same issues as @felic, I'm using PHP v.5.5.9. Commented out the "PHP Version >= 5.3" line from the .modules and they installed OK.

Stunning, and eye-catching! Do you drink ayahuasca instead of coffee every morning? Only issue I notice - there appears to be an audio player at lower left, no worky in Chrome 33.0.1750.146 on OSX 10.8.5.

Elegant simplicity! I love how the logo in the center fades as you scroll down, very classy.

OK, I'm getting serious about using ProcessWire for my personal website…better late than never! One little thing that's confusing about the Foundation profile: When freshly installed, there is a page called "Templates" that refers to "head.inc" and "foot.inc" which don't seem to be present in this profile. I believe it's a leftover page from the default profile, but it caused a couple hours of cognitive dissonance…"What the…where the…huh…Oh, I see!" Is it possible to include a page with the Foundation profile that describes its template structure? Surely not an issue for the more experienced, but could save newcomers a bit of head-scratching. Thanks!

I had a problem with this module before I discovered this thread, getting the same error Martijn Geerts noted above. After taking a look at Ryan's original Vimeo/YouTube module, I changed line 117 from: $this->embedSoundcloud(&$str); to: $this->embedSoundcloud($str); removing the "&" in red before "$str" in the first example above. Now it works as expected, including multiple embeds on a single page. However, there is one anomaly: unlike the Vimeo/YouTube module, this Soundcloud module is sensitive to its order among other TextFormatters (in Edit Field --> Field Type Details --> Text Formatters). The SoundCloud module won't embed when Markdown Extra module follows it, but embeds OK when Markdown precedes it. I hope that makes sense, thanks for your work on this, Marvin!

Hi, I came across this thread while trying to get SoundCloud player embed to work in ProcessWire 2.3. Diogo, both your suggestions returned this error when I first tried them: “/tracks/}” is not a valid SoundCloud URL On examining both PHP snippets I noticed the extra closing curly brace around : {$song}} Once I removed it the embed worked BUT the bottom 10% or so of the player was cut off. Then I saw there was no closing single quote after: width='100% When I added that, both of your methods worked. Diogo, would you mind correcting those bits in your code snippets? Teppo: I pasted the WordPress tag in its own paragraph in the Body field of a page, and pasted the PHP into the corresponding template, but I couldn't get it to work...the page just prints the tag as it was pasted in. A couple further questions: could "Edit Field --> Input Field Settings --> Pattern" could be used for the regex instead of template code? how hard would it be to make a SoundCloud embed module similar to the YouTube/Vimeo one? I've looked at the module code and kind of understand what's going on in theory but I'm just a PHP beginner. SoundCloud embed docs are here. Thanks!

Joss - these demo sites you're posting are great, very inspiring for a beginner like me. Also, I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read the following or I would have snarfed: "When life is coming at you thick and fast and you have no where else to go, sit down and stick your chin in your hands."

I had this same problem uploading images on my localhost setup. Increasing php.ini post_max_size and memory_limit to 256M did the trick, thanks! Is there an upper limit for how high this can be increased? I plan to upload some large soundfiles in the future. It's great to get back into ProcessWire after being busy with other things for a little while!

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome! I'm really digging Ryan's tracks, a good mix of beats and spaciousness. Sunvox looks cool, my wife just got an iPad so I should check it out. TBH I'm banging away on an 8-1/2 year old HP Pentium 4 PC at the moment. I'm exploring both the Default and Blog PW site profiles, things are starting to make sense. Also I just got Robin Nixon's PHP/MySQL/JS/CSS book. Thanks again!

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a few months. I discovered ProcessWire when a Google search on the "vim" editor led me to Ryan's personal site. Good thing I wasn't searching for "emacs", I might have never found PW! I'm an artist, musician, and baker. Recently I've gotten into web design and computer programming. I work at a large bakery company where I somehow became the in-house data-wrangler. We have a combination of two proprietary database systems and an ungodly array of MS Office documents. I'm hoping to start grabbing whatever I can from the databases--XML, CSV--and put it onto a simple intranet for spec management. I made a site for my grad school program using SquareSpace. It was a good way to start, but it's whetted my appetite for a system with more control and no mysterious, magically-created markup. I really like the way PW feels--powerful, modular, extensible, with an elegant simplicity that's rare in the PHP CMS world! Also the documentation is great, as are all the helpful people on the forum! I saw the "Skyscrapers" site profile available for download a few months ago. Any plans on releasing it again? I'd love to see the template files. I have some ideas for cross-referencing my art/music in a similar manner. Ryan--your site profile says you were involved in the tracker/demoscene back in the day. Any recordings you can share? Dunno if you're in touch with electronic music these days, ReNoise is a brilliant modern tracker.
