Oh, not so sure about that. At least if they knock at my door I can weld their face onto the front of my fist. (honed to a nice hard surface by near on 50 years of piano and guitar and weekly trips to my allotment) Online, anyone can have a go, and stay more or less untraceable to the majority of people. If you are going to try and con me, at least have the guts to do it to my face - even if I do resemble Hagrid ....

This is very true - they just have to get you when you are distracted.... It is ironic that the principle these scammers use when it comes to number crunching and the likelyhood of getting away with it is identical to that used by direct sales companies. The internet may not have created the conman, but in its attempts to be this wonderful, free world that Tim Berners Lee dreams of, it sure has given them an easy ride!

That I don't know, I am afraid - there may well be something in this forum, however. I am never sure about the security of being able to reset everything, at least not without a lot of hoop jumping.

One day I will get round to inventing the proper text editor for the proper creative environment - it only works on the back of a fag packet. Trouble is, by the time I get round to it, no one will be smoking! (Probably ought to invent an OS called Fag Packet, really - or Cigarette, for our confused and blushing American cousins....)

As fancybox is a jquery plugin, it is nice to stick with the same system. Look through the jquery docs for things like addClass and so on - very simple stuff. By the way, the modern version of Fancybox is quite restricted when it comes to licencing - it is free to use on non-commercial only, http://sites.fastspring.com/fancyapps/product/store However, Colorbox is definitely free! http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox/

It really depends how open you want it. Allowing completely anonymous posts can be a bad thing, so insisting that people have to at least have some level of registration, albeit through FB or Twitter, means at least you can sort of moderate against them. It might also be worth looking at the Disqus API to see if you can add that into your registration system https://disqus.com/api/docs/

You can add just about anything with jquery So I tend to use this $('.blog img').closest("a").addClass("fancybox ").attr('rel', 'group'); This looks at a container div with the class .blog (which is worthwhile so you only apply this where you want!) and then looks at something with an img tag and then goes to the closest a tag (the one wrapper round it) and adds a class and an attribute Okay, so martin has done it the other way up to me!

I suppose the point is that the current system allows different actions for creating a new page and editing an existing page so you have fine grained control. It works well enough, but rather confusing!

Yep, I have just started reformatting now, it will only take a couple of minu...

Just had a phone call from someone claiming to be from my broadband supplier and saying that I had a major terrible fault with my computer. I spent a happy five minutes tricking him by getting him to guess which company I get broadband from (he tried five different ones), asking what type of computer I had (he got that wrong three times), and finished by telling him he was a criminal and a fraud and when I got hold of him I would plant him in a very deep hole indeed – I made the latter bit last several minutes and did not repeat myself once. He eventually hung up. However he did try very hard. He said that he was from a Pakistani company set up by the UK Government to deal with problems. He tried to tell me that If I did not let him help me they would have to shut down my computer remotely and it would delete all the files (I was a danger to the system) and a whole pile of other scare tactics. He was very convincing, or would have been except I recognised this as a fraud immediately for a couple of reasons: 1. If you have viruses or anything else on your computer, your broadband supplier won’t know and are really not interested – it won’t affect them and they see it as your problem. 2. If your broadband supplier needs to contact you because they are doing work, they will either post a letter to you or, more likely, not tell you at all and you will find your service is interrupted for a while as a surprise. Suppliers have hundreds of thousands of customers, it is not practical to phone them! 3. The chances are that your broadband supplier will NEVER phone you – just like your phone supplier never phones you. So the odds are that it is a scam. Ah, that was three reasons. So, if anyone calls claiming that they have detected a problem on your computer, do one of two things. 1. Hand up immediately (the best thing to do) 2. Give them a really nasty lecture on what a complete low-life they are and how if there is a god they will go to hell. It will get rid of several days worth of frustration and stress and make you feel lots better! I wonder if I can get him to phone me weekly?

Having a problem with the new admin theme. If I create a tab field and import it (and its brother) to a template, then click on it to edit the label, it does not display anything useful in the modal. Can anyone replicate? EDIT: Okay, not to do with the theme, something else is going on with 2.4.1

Change studios - I only allow Ray-Ban Wayfarers to be worn.

Ah, he put one dot too many?

Are there other reasons they need to register with your site? You can see the way I use discus on one of my WP sites here: http://www.pebblesthepuppy.co.uk/spring-is-springing/ On a new blog I am working on with PW I am not using comments at all in the traditional way - I don't want the hassel of moderation - so using the new systems with twitter, I will simply embed a twitter feed dedicated to the post. Twitter can have the moderation and spam issues rather than me! On the PW comments system, it is not nested as it is, but there is no reason you could not change it so that it was, I would imagine. The comments are just pages with child parent relationships after all. (bit beyond my programming ability, though) EDIT: Just saw this: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/2623-comments-core-reply-feature/

The PW system is a proper commenting system. The advantage of something like Disqus is that they dont have to register with the site or with Disqus as they can use their twitter, facebook (and a couple of other) logins.

The reason I ask is because editing a page is not creating a new one, if you see what I mean. No new pages is about what you can create where as the parent child relationships are about what a particular existing page is allowed to be.

Do you mean when you create a new page you can use the sitemap template when creating or use it when editing the settings?

There is a comment system as part of ProcessWire https://processwire.com/talk/topic/696-quick-guide-to-the-comments-system/ Or you can also use system like Disqus - they have a simple snippet that you can add to your templates, if I remember right.

Okay, I think this is to do with how Ryan has set up the demo. Just checking on a site I am currently working on, I tend to restrict what children as well as what parents. If you edit a page and the parent template does not have a restriction on templates for children, then you will get all the choices ... er, I think. If you go to one of the architects and look at the settings you will see that you can only choose architect as the template. That is because the "architects" template has a restriction on children

That is because of the way the family structure is set up on the Skyscrapers demo. If you look at the settings of the actual templates, most of them either cannot be used for new pages or have to have a specific parent. So the only option left for a child of the homepage template is basic-page.

You could do worse than show him Ryan's villa site (https://processwire.com/talk/topic/5335-another-villas-site/) - it is complicated and very big and has to cope with a lot of interest. Also, there are a lot of editors updating the site (the villa owners).

Oh, I have several of my own.
