I was just wondering what a mixture of Portuguese and Dutch sounded like, but realised I probably sounded like that back in my drinking days....

Ah, I keep forgetting you are up in the North Western wilderness. Warm here today, even warmer over the weekend. Lots done on the veggie patch. http://www.foodloversdiary.com/allotment-diary/2014-and-the-allotment-is-go/

Well, that all depends in which timezone you thought your were in when you thought you posted that.

I'm a processwire user .... and an MS Office user and an Adobe CC user. As much as possible I try and stay on one platform otherwise my old brain gets very confused.

I did last year for fun (and a couple of others) - but my benchmark is that it has to be usable by the rest of the family without them learning anything at all. My "teens" have zero interest in anything to do with computers beyond using them and having the same dancing gnomes as their friends. I also use Onedrive, but I actually edit on the full version of office because not all the writing tools I need are on the web version. I think there is also an issue about installing software - with windows and mac there is the assumption (a good one) that when users install stuff they do no want to know anything about the tech side at all. They want to hit one button and go. That is not consistent with Linux at all - with some software it is as simple as Windows, then with others you suddenly need to add repositories, find dependencies and so on and so forth ... at the end of which my lot have gone off clubbing and want nothing more to do with it.

The main problem for people transitioning to Linux is it simply does not have many of the applications they want, like MS Office. Even with Libre Office working hard to make itself more up to date, the gulf between it and MS office continues to grow - it is one huge achilles heel. And Mac's have made it even worse for Linux - people like not only the interface and the drop-in App style method of working, but they like the entire culture that goes with it. I know Linux purists tend to poo-poo that side, but actually it is really important to people on a device that has become so much part of their lives. They want it to be slick and cool like they want their games consoles to have pretty boxes or want their cars to talk to them. People like fashion, they like trendy, they like the "in thing," and that is not a bad thing, it is human nature. People wont buy because something is more stable or is technically more pure, they will buy it because it is capable of doing really silly, fatuous things when you turn it on. You don't buy an Armani shirt because of the stitching, you buy it because you want to tell people you wear Armani. Ubuntu is not Armani - though its stitching is probably great.

I had a similar problem about a year ago on a non-pw site. It turned out that MySQL had crashed/corrupted on a shared solution and the hosting company had rebuilt it but something had gone wrong and not all the tables were complete. Took me two weeks to get them to admit that the problem had been their end. (Which is slow for me .....)

Cant quite think how to do this, but since this is based on a count, if you check to see whether your count is above or equal to the value when pagination kicks in, then if it is, display the pagination. What I am not sure about is what happens on page two....

I am enjoying House of Cards - As good as the original series, and that takes some doing.

One of the main reasons for creating a Wiki from scratch is because what is needed really isn't quite a wiki at all. In its trues sense a WikiWikiWeb (the first one) is a collaborative anarchic information repository that uses a common markup system and has no editorial structure. That is great if you want to create a Wikipedia clone (and have all the headaches that go along with it), but not necessarily much use if what you want is a formal document (articles are documents) repository with submission, editorial and publishing protocols. If you want the first, use Wikimedia or one of the thousand and one similar versions out there. If you want something more structured, then designing one from scratch could be very interesting. I am sure you will get lots of advice when you need it!

Send me a rough script and the original .....

You really need one of the more Ajax knowledgeable people round here to make this work properly. I am not sure how it could count as an extra pageview, or whether it does on Pinterest - that side of it might not be an issue for them and from the SEO point of view, it is not how many times a page is viewed, but rather whether the page is linked to from other sites. The link that you click will, from the search engine's point of view, be just an ordinary link - it is the JQuery that will then use that link to create the modal and so on. If you are looking for stats on what is clicked (which is different from whether it is good SEO or not), then you could create a field for your template that is for hits, and then have it add one each time you click on the link. This is an old post from Ryan http://processwire.com/talk/topic/245-automatic-visit-count-5k-visits-a-day/?p=1661

Yes, they look the same for me too.

Something you wish to tell us?

Just a small point, unless you are absolutely wedded to the idea of having a number as a title (which does not seem very SEO friendly to me), don't forget that each page also has an ID number. Now, although they may not be sequential, (if you have created another page in another section of site) they will be in numerical order.

Saw this on stackoverflow, not sure it helps: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5080495/mode-rewrite-with-without-trailing-slash-on-end-of-url

There was, but it had to be admitted to a warm, happy and noticeably secure place for rehabilitation.

That is odd. I normally delete cache by clicking on a delete cache button. Must try the face slapping technique - though I might need a volunteer (wouldn't want to use my OWN face!)

The default "Home" page (and Home in my list above) IS root. It is your landing page, so put whatever content into that page/template that you want people to see when they first land. You dont need to put /home/ on your URL to get to it - it is accessed with "/" No one turns it off or removes it, just changes it to do what they want it to - after all, every website has to have a landing page. Then just develop the rest of the site from there. As I said, the way the menus work normally is that home (the site root) is shown as the same level of its immediate children. You don't have to stick to that, of course, but it is the easiest way of doing it.

The way the processwire table structure works will not be an issue for you - I am sure if Ryan has time he will give a proper technical description of what the actual query looks like, but because MySQL is a relational database, it is designed to relate multiple tables together within one query to produce a dataset, so not a problem. MySQL can be behind a certain amount of slowness behind a website with any system, however, as can PHP - obviously by using additional processing you are asking a server to do more work. This is why with any system caching is so important. As mentioned above, Pro Cache is incredibly fast, but even the normal template caching is pretty impressive. However, aside from all that, with the PW API, you wont actually have to worry about how the database queries are made - you just get on with constructing the site how you want. The "lean and mean, fat reducing" API will do the heavy lifting for you. It makes the George Foreman grill look like a toasting fork! (Sorry, was that too obscure?)

ooh, better find my own self portrait then. This one was made from plasticine:

He was obviously a very wise man.

They dont seem to offer the service in the other direction.... Actually, when you go through the lists they dont have processwire listed, so this is obviously a dodgy search engine catch page.

A bit of a giveaway is if you look at any of the other conversion services, they all say exactly the same thing, just with a different product inserted.

You want to READ about it? Sorry, I am having real problems with that concept....
