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.

Over in the uk, Cute used like this is saying it is good. Possibly a London thing ... not sure.

Thats kind of cute!

Er, not sure how to do this, but as a work around you could use a bit of jquery to insert a hide this tab class if the user has a certain role. That would work a little more generally, perhaps. But feels messy

Mine has taken one look at the rain and gone under the covers.

Have you edited the access permissions for the settings page template? You can change whether a particular role can edit, view, create pages based on template or add children. Delete is something you can do globally for the role it self If you need to mix and match permissions, you can add more than one role to any user. So you can set different roles to have different permissions depending on template, the just add those roles to a user as you need.

Yes, my way round it previously has been to make parent items nothing. You can actually add a bit of code so that that if an item has children then $childUrl beomes # I added this to a foundation version (based on a later version of the bootstrap menu, I think - cant quite remember now) $has_children = count($child->children) ? true : false; if($has_children && $child !== $root) { $class .= 'has-dropdown'; // sub level Foundation dropdown li class $childUrl = "#"; // stop parents being clickable } else { $childUrl = $child->url; // if does not have children, then get the page url } But repeating the parent item as a child would be the ultimate - then use media queries to show or not to show. That way you can preserve your tree structure but still have it work. I have to say, I am tending to avoid complicated menus entirely now.

Currently, if you have a header item called About Us that links to a page, if it has a child, the item cannot be linkable because that wont work on mobile devices. What would be nice is in those circumstances to duplicate the About Us link and make it the first child of itself. So you get: About Us About Us Child

If you want multi level navigation, the system on Foundation works better since it allows a way to navigate back through the levels. But a useful fix you have done here.
