Hi Ryan, OK, thanks. The links appear in Firefox, but they do not appear when I load the page in Chrome.However, the issue of those links seems unrelated to this. Seems everyone is seeing those.I did not see links to ass oil! Thanks, Matthew

Greetings, Ryan: I have noticed that ProcessWire sites have "Skimresources" running. Check <head> area to see the references. Just for example, here's a sample of what I see here in this site: <script type="text/javascript" async="" src="//r.skimresources.com/api/?callback=skimlinksApplyHandlers&data=%7B%22pubcode%22%3A%2228566X866039%22%2C%22domains%22%3A%5B%22twitter.com%22%2C%22invisionpower.com%22%5D%7D"> skimlinksApplyHandlers({"merchant_domains":[],"guid":"5f75d4d27f216d63a53bcc563d9a25c8","country":"US"}); </script> <script type="text/javascript" async="" src="//r.skimresources.com/api/?callback=skimlinksApplyHandlers&data=%7B%22pubcode%22%3A%2228566X866039%22%2C%22domains%22%3A%5B%22twitter.com%22%2C%22invisionpower.com%22%5D%7D"> skimlinksApplyHandlers({"merchant_domains":[],"guid":"5f75d4d27f216d63a53bcc563d9a25c8","country":"US"}); </script> It also loads some style sheets. By the way, I see this stuff in a lot of sites, not just ProcessWire. Am I the only one seeing these? It seem that these links are appearing for everyone. Is it a browser issue? Thanks, Matthew

Hello Everyone, This seems to have something to do with the Skimresources thingy that somehow gets included with ProcessWire. The links appear and disappear with apparent randomness. Notice: the words "forum software" also create an automatic link -- often to vBulletin, but today it is going to sheetmusicplus.com. What's going on with this? Matthew

Greetings, Glad I'm not the only one... Sometimes Happy New Year links to Amazon products. Sometimes Happy New Year links to Zombo.com In one case, Happy New Year links to the Web site for Yale, South Dakota. My favorite is the link to the Haiti News Network (http://anselme.homes...m/AFPHAITI.html). I thought this site was a joke, then realized it is an actual site for the Haiti News Network! And on and on it goes... Thanks, Matthew

Hey Didjee, Looks terrific. Great show of ProcessWire's capabilities. I also browsed through your "online" portfolio and like the bright, colorful, "big screen" feel to everything you do. Even in Dutch, I get pretty clearly what's going on. Thanks for sharing, Matthew

Preview Intranet Application – Office Management
MatthewSchenker replied to Luis's topic in Showcase
Hi Luis, I get it... I'm just very happy to see such an deep application developed with ProcessWire. Keep us updated on your progress, and I look forward to the case study. Thanks again, Matthew -
Greetings, First day of a New Year here in New England. OK, why are all the occurrences of "Happy New Year" being replaced with links to Amazon items? Thanks, Matthew
-
Happy New Year from New England! It is about 10:00 PM here, and my partying is done (I have a four-year-old sleeping down the hall). Looking forward to lots of new projects and community connections with ProcessWire in 2013. Thanks, Matthew

Greetings Luis, Don't know how I missed that! It looks terrific. I've joined the active discussion already in progress. Thanks for sharing, Matthew

Preview Intranet Application – Office Management
MatthewSchenker replied to Luis's topic in Showcase
Luis, Amazing application! Really makes it clear how deep ProcessWire can go as an app builder! I would be thrilled to take part in testing and documentation. There are many interesting elements in this application, but the two that stand out for me right away: - Data tables - Customized entry forms Thanks, Matthew -
Greetings, Ah... OK. I did not make the connection right away. This is very impressive! I'd like to take a closer look at how this works. Thanks, Matthew
-
Greetings, I came across this intro video of an "office application" made with ProcessWire. Not too much information on it, but what's shown looks very interesting... Here's the link: http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=d6lWyfk53mg&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dd6lWyfk53mg Anyone know what this is about? Thanks, Matthew

Hey Luis, It's so easy to just go with the iMac, but it's hard to ignore that you can get what seems like a stronger system with a Mac Mini. The one thing I am not sure about is the idea of shared versus dedicated graphics memory. The Mac Mini has shared and the iMac has dedicated. Does this really matter for Web work? Another issue is upgradability. Apple has pushed "elegance" about as far as you can go in 2012, but the new iMacs are hermetically sealed systems, whereas the Mac Mini is designed for internal access. Thanks, Matthew

Hey Everyone, I am currently searching for my next desktop system to replace my 2007 iMac. Since people here are all using our systems for similar purposes, opinions here are valuable... My two main competitors are... Option 1: 27" iMac Option 2: Mac Mini with Dell 27" monitor I was all set to get the new iMac, but then I compared specs and realized I can get a supercharged Mac Mini for hundreds less (saving about $600 by getting a Dell monitor). But are there internals with the iMac that make it better, especially when running Adobe's suite? After all, it seems like every design studio I glimpse at these days is using iMacs! Both systems lack a CD drive, which I find bonkers. But let's leave that aside. I have a MS PC already set up, so for this particular station I am only looking at Apple stuff. Opinions? Thanks, Matthew
-
Greetings, Excellent theme! I have been trying out this one, as well as Marine, MetroWire, and Teflon. There is something I really like about each theme, so it's difficult to choose just one. It's so impressive to see so many great theme contributions. Personally, I still like the default theme. But for clients, these other themes could help out a lot. Thanks, Matthew
-
Hey everyone, Thanks for all the input, opinions, advice... It's great to hear what ProcessWire people are choosing. I agree with Ryan that for the money it often makes sense to jump to a dedicated server. When you consider the cost on a yearly basis, it makes more sense. Since clients pay for hosting, it takes care of itself when getting the best resources possible to support your projects. Joss: I'm looking at dedicated severs to build my own shared resource center for clients (i.e., I am hosing them on my dedicated seever). Joshuag: yes, I considered MediaTemple and like the options they offer. But when I was reading some reviews they seemed to be a mixed picture. Thanks, Matthew

Greetings, This is really interesting to me. I am finishing up a site now where I need to create slideshows from submitted pages, but (as often is the case) not all of the pages have high enough quality images. I solved the problem by creating a checkbox field that I (or the client) can use to manually choose whether the page is included in the slideshow (I added a note to only check the box if the image meets certain criteria). There are advantages to the checkbox approach: the client can have a lot of flexibility to decide which pages are "featured." But it would be really neat in some cases to automatically exclude pages that don't meet the requirements for a slideshow... Seems that every day another example of ProcessWire's flexibility comes to the surface! Thanks, Matthew
-
Greetings Everyone, Another question that comes up is whether to go with dedicated or VPS for host management. I really like managing all my clients from one place. I have assumed dedicated is the way to go, but it seems that VPS has become a stronger option in recent years. Looking at KnownHost (for example), it's possible to get a top-level VPS host-management arrangement with more resources than some dedicated environments, at a far lower cost. Opinions? Thanks, Matthew

Hey Ryan, OK, thanks! It would be fine with me if you got a commission. But I'm glad I asked, so there won't be any confusion about your endorsement. I'm going to contact ServInt after the holiday madness. Thanks, Matthew
-
Hey Everyone, Thanks for the input on lots of great options. I'm leaning towards ServInt because of Ryan's endorsement. If people here choose ServInt, I hope Ryan (ProcessWire) gets some kind of commission! I want to emphasize again that HostGator has been excellent for me. In two years, I have never had any downtime, and they are always available for help within minutes of opening a chat window. My reason for switching is because of an assumed need for stronger resources as I go forward with some large-scale sites. Also, I'm only looking at managed dedicated servers, not VPS or individual hosting plans. The idea of a self-managed server is attractive, but not sure if it's practical to deal with that when managed plans are not much more cost annually? Analyzing price, ServInt and Hostgator are fairly comparable. But ServInt appears to have better systems for the price. It's interesting... So many choices in the development/design world. But choosing a long-term hosting setup can be more difficult than other decisions. Thanks, Matthew
-
Greetings, Currently, I have a dedicated server from HostGator, and I have not had any trouble at all with them. But with my current agreement coming to an end, and my projects expanding, I feel it's important to loo around before I sign on for another year. I see that Ryan strongly endorses ServInt. This endorsement tells me a lot. I am therefore leaning towards ServInt. But I have a lot of respect for the people in this community and would be curious to hear what other people here think... Thanks, Matthew
-
Totally, absolutely agree! I am a strong believer that a "culture" builds up around a project. It's a subtle thing, but a certain kind of attitude from the start attracts like-minded individuals, and that gathers greater momentum over time as it perpetuates with new members to the community. There are other great communities that I think have similar energy: Laravel and CodeIgniter, for example. But ProcessWire has an extra dimension even above those greats. It's up to us to make sure it keeps going! Thans, Matthew

Hi Everyone, Follow-up question: what's a good way to refer to the ProcessWire framework? Of course, the whole system is called ProcessWire. Just wondering if, for clarity's sake, we might refer to the framework (for example) as the "Wire Framework," or something like that. This might seem like a technicality, but my thinking is that it sends a message that there is a framework underlying the system. As ProcessWire gets discussed and blogged about more in the future, this distinction could help convey a degree of meaning to developers and designers who recognize such things. What's the "official" name? Thanks, Matthew
-
Hey kongondo. Welcome! I used ModX a bit, and I have a lot of respect for that CMS as moving in the right direction as far as offering a clean and open development environment. But once I started using ProcessWire I realized that even ModX does not have the flexibility of this framework. Everyone who knows ModX knows about Wayfinder. So it is an honor indeed to have you here! Thans, Matthew

Greetings Everyone, Picking slideshow scripts can be time-consuming. So many great ones, but I always look for the ones that have the simplest markup for dynamic content. As interrobang suggests, Flexslider is excellent. I use it in a lot of sites. Another excellent one is BxSlider, which also allows a great variety of content: http://bxslider.com/ In my recent sites, I have been using both Flexslider and BxSlider Thanks, Matthew
