Ha! A couple of years ago I got a call from a station saying a client had a jingle which needed an edit on it - some old thing they had used for years. So I said to send it over. When it arrived, not only was it some thing I had composed years before for a different client and so was not licenced for them to use, but it had never been licenced for any of the stations they had been on and the singer's licence had run out ten years before. I did quite well out of the ensuing letter from my lawyer...

Yes, it goes with their beta test site: http://m.bbc.co.uk/news?view=beta And of course, being the BBC where you do not develop anything unless you spend a fortune reinventing the wheel first, they have an entire website dedicated to talking about responsive news http://responsivenews.co.uk/ Just for interest, anyone got a neat little class for PW (using the API) where you can define cached images in a responsive environment?

I suppose one day in one version or another, people will start making templates for ProcessWire. But I rather like that there are none currently. Not that I ever used templates with Drumlapress; I have always had a problem with being hogtied.

I have to say, I have not had a problem with MySQL/MariaDB on proper business shared hosting, which is very cheap these days. It is worth using caching where you can and I bung most sites through Cloud Flare (just the free version) and that helps a bit. I can't see me using SQLite in a hurry. Strangely, where I have had the odd MySQL slowdown, it has turned out to be me ... (Embarrassed cough)

We used to get this at the studios where one client would tell another client that they could act as producer, effectively cutting us out - it happened a few times. Every time it happened, however, the final result was dreadful, but still there was little or nothing we could do about it, other than refuse future business. But in a competitive world, that does not amount to much. As for your ex client - this is rather common with Wordpress in particular, but honest people will at least put "template by...." at the bottom. In my old job (films and productions) it was expected that everyone involved would get a credit, programme space allowing. The longer the list of credits, the more professional it looks, to be honest, though that does not work so well in the purely corporate environment where space/time is at a premium and the client has legitimate worries about diluting messages. The best version of false claiming of credit I ever came across was a turkish voice over who recorded a voice for a corporate video with a colleague of mine. Because the colleague was a little new to the job, I had a quick listen and was very surprised to hear a bit of extra voice over at the end which had no matching original English. A quick check with another voice over and we confirmed that the Turkish chap had given him self an audio credit for writing and producing the video (which he hadn't) and even gave out his phone number. Needless to say, he never worked again in the very lucrative foreign voice over field - it is a very small part of the industry and the story did get round pretty quickly. (Having a secretary with a drink problem and who could not keep her mouth shut had its advantages!)

HI Adrian - yes, I have it working above root too. I have used it for myself for several years now as Ajaxplorer, though it is a little more solid now; previous versions were proving to be a real pain on Safari. What I really wanted to get them to do was use the password system since then that gave them access to all their files going back years and stopped me having to put up with "I cant find that thing you did back in 1872...." But, it just seemed to be a bit too techy for young Radio station sales people. There has to be a lesson in there somewhere!

I have tried both Pydio and Own Cloud with clients to try and find out what they prefered. Annoyingly, they almost all said "can't you just email us a link to a zip file? I can never remember my password." Perhaps they are right - we can over engineer this sometimes.

One of the issues I have had with sync in the past is that I have found I have to be very, very organised to make sure that I don't accidently erase some important edit through the sync process or find I have to make a choice because the system has noticed that the remote version is newer than the edit I am currently doing - a particular problem with collaborative working where I have had exactly that problem. Generally, I have found myself falling back to a less clever system of simply storing something that I need to access/edit remotely in just the one place as a single copy - I always then work on that version directly in some way. Mind you, working from home these days has reduced the problem enormously!

Ah, unseasonably warm round here - my allotment is sprouting too early, which is a nuisance since after all the rain we have had in the UK, it is also too muddy to dig! Oh well, back to the typewriter then!

Hi Totoff The WD My Cloud comes with several utilities (including for backing up which ever computers are on the network), but I have not used them. Some more basic info here: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/network/networkstorage/ I am not sure whether there is sync or not in the way you are looking for it.

Yes, I did install a linux desktop last year just for fun and It worked okay. But for my family who not only are not very computer literate but have no intention of becoming so (and neither should they have to), they took one look at it and went, no thanks - back to Macs and Windows 7/8 they went. Obviously, from my point of view, the major DAWs and other production software that I use for my work simply do not run on Linux anyway. Kongondo makes a good point about Outlook and Office - I have used Thunderbird for years, but when my version broke I thought I would try outlook since I use office 365 already. And outlook is so much slicker that I have stayed using that combined with Onenote (which I love) ever since. Anyway, enough thread hijacking! Sorry.....

You surf cute animals? Is that legal where you are? I would think using a surf board would be kinder.

I must admit I spend about half my life writing and I hate Libre Office - it feels as clunky as anything and very dated to use. I have it to keep compatibility with my daughter who is writing a thesis that I am helping her edit. Not a linux lover either for desktops, but it is great as an easy server set up - I have it on an ancient old Dell that fell out of use.

7. I am not a number! (Damn, I wanted that to be number 6....)

I must admit that last year I forked out for a WD My Cloud disc with 4tb space. It just sits on my local gigabit network and is available from the outside world as well, so the kids use it from college Seemed easier. There is a bigger version with multi discs and raid, but I didn't have the spare cash.

You can also just zip the entire site up, put it in the new location and change the DB values in config.php. I always work like that - I develop on an old box locally that is set up with ubunto and virtualmin so that I am always developing as a root installation and then just move the entire thing to wherever it is needed. Much easier for a non-tech like me. I never use export profile to move a site, just to create profiles for multiple use. Edit; oh, yeah, I forgot you need to export/import the DB ... But quick and easy to do.

Heh, just reading Felix's post, maybe you should require all voters to send a video vote so you can see who they are and who is in disguise! (joke)

Yeah, not too sure about "or else" Sounds a bit threatening!

Maybe your fastest approach would be to shove in Bootstrap 3 or Foundation. This is Diogos suggestion in Bootstrap - sorry, bit off the cuff so it might have a typo or two, <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-10> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-2"> Left Column </div> <div class="col-md-8"> Middle Column <div class="col-md-2"> </div> </div><!-- /row --> </div><!-- /col md 10 --> <div class="col-md-2"> Right had column </div> </div><!-- /row --> The main problem is that on smaller devices The rows will rearrange in the order: Left Row Middle Right Row Which is not helpful as you really want the middle to be the first thing you see (and why this sort of layout is problematic) However, Bootstrap also allows you to hide divs or make them visible in different devices. So, you can actually do FOUR columns, with the first and the fourth having the same info but hidden or shown depending on your need. So, an easier way would be: <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-2 hidden-sm"> </div> <div class="col-md-8"> </div> <div class="col-md-2"> </div> <div class="col-md-2 visible-sm"> </div> </div> Sorry, best I could come up with in 5 minutes

The first thing you should probably define is how much data you want to wade through. The more information you ask people about their nominations and votes, the more you have to collate; too much data and the result becomes unmanageable and possibly meaningless. So, maybe start by mapping out what data you need from the forms (however they are presented) and what of that data can be collated automatically and which needs to be read and judged. Once that is established, then there are a ton of creative minds on here who will gladly come up with probably far too many alternatives!

Have you tried with a different browser, just in case your are throwing some sort of error. Also, perhaps check the console in Chrome to see if there is anything odd showing up. Sorry, mine seem to be working.

If I end up whistling The Dam Busters March everytime I see the PW logo, I am blaming you .... Cabbage crates at four o'clock, whatho???

Which admin theme are you using?

Just sneak this old thing in: http://processwire.com/talk/topic/2296-confused-by-pages/

How are you planing to use ids? Since everything is a page, everything gets a unique ID. Though not starting from zero for each item. But that is not needed in PW for controlling data.
