ha - if you used my foundation profile, it still had the PW specific bits in there!

I will have a look at those, chaps. I just chatted to Rackspace and they thought I could run a 4gb linux server for, perhaps, 2 weeks (that would be about 42 pounds) and then take an image and restore it to a 1 gb at 3p per hour. Though, if it calmed right down, I would be tempted to dump it and put it on a shared.

Hi opalepatrick When you align it adds a style to the element that floats left or right. In the original download for PW in the styles css you have the following: .align_left { float: left; margin: 0 1em 0.25em 0; } .align_right { float: right; margin: 0 0 0.25em 1em; } .align_center { display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } Those are the styles used in the editor which you can customise as you wish. If you want to add more style information you can use JQuery to addClass to your element as part of your template. I normally make sure that when I do a template, where I am using a RTE field I wrap that in a div with a unique class or ID so I can identify things like the <a> element that is wrapped round the image and add various bits to it. So, for instance, if I were using fancybox and needed to add the class and the group attribute, I would wrap the output in a div called blog then use the jquery $('.blog img').closest("a").addClass("fancybox ").attr('rel', 'group');

Of course, there is the point that BS 3 works with IE8 (more or less) where as Foundation 5 doesn't Interesting going through your lists, Beluga ... I like the brave ones that are compatible with IE5

Down that path lies madness - trust me, I have been doing this (surviving this? ) for 35 years. Anyway, you will find out at the end of the month when the book comes out.

Thanks, I will go an look. It is just the possibility that in the first week the celeb will get 500,000 hits and then in the second, once everyone realises that all the revelations are in the book not the site she will get 10 hits. And yes, whatever I do, I will use the pro-cache module.

Without going into any details (I actually can't) I might have to build a simple site in a hurry for a medium level celeb. The site will be to support their autobiography which may cause some headlines (or not - difficult to predict) The website will just give a bit of background to the book, have some embedded videos (probably YouTube hosted) and some photos that did not make the final edit of the book. Knowing celebs, there will not be much money kicking around! The problem is that if this hits the headlines, the site could gain a lot of interest for a few days or maybe a few weeks. But the chances are that after that, interest in the actual site will fall away more or less completely. Without the controversy, this site could probably sit happily on a shared solution - but if this takes off, that might be problematical - but only in the very short term. So, how do I get round this? Going to a dedicated server for a year's contract would be silly, but starting on a shared might also be a problem. Ideally, I should be on a powerful server for the first month, see how it goes, and down grade to a shared. Any ideas on how I can plan this out would be wonderful - I have never encountered this before. Joss PS: UK Users - Just stick with the technical and do not worry about the celeb! However tempting that is.....

Hey, I still like Corel Webmaster Suite! (Think I have cracked that joke before)

I am more familiar with Bootstrap than Foundation - but I did enjoy playing with the SASS on foundation. It does have some advantages. If you have a complicated menu structure, Foundation's menu solution is nicer than Bootstrap, and you can play around with the media breaks in a different way (they calculate slightly differently) However, Bootstrap feels a little less clunky. To be honest, I think with both of these you need to decide what you are actually going to do and then only build the bits your really, really need. If that means you are only using the grid system, then maybe they are not the best. But if you like all their components and want to use those, then they start coming into their own. To be honest, good designers have built great sites with most of the solutions out there, so you can probably be too picky!

Sorry, haven't got a multi site set up to test with. On the field input tab where you are using TinyMCE, the spell check is referenced with a path (third party plugins) - does it work if you change that path?

Thanks Sanyaissues - that is new to me.

Ta! I am about to rebuild that site actually. I haven't had any speed issues with either of the frameworks and I tend to use quite a few of their components. Having said that, I might also look at some of the grid only responsive frameworks that are around like Pure as this site might use a few independent plugins

I have just been asked by a radio celeb to design them a site to accompany their forthcoming autobiography (which is destined to be very controversial and upset a lot of people) (Note - I have been asked not because I am the first stop for celebs, which I aint, but we used to work together many many years ago as juniors in the business!) So, the site will need to be a) quite flashy, b) simple to understand (cough) and c) probably robust. I also might have to move it in a hurry if it is very popular (cant tell with celebs - some will get thousands of hits, many will get five, on a good day) However, that is not the issue, I could make it with Bootstrap 3 or I could make it with Foundation 5 ... but which? If I was brave i would try Edge Reflow, but I haven't even opened that yet!

Hi icreation Actually, this should not be a problem at all. The PW resizing actually creates a new image, it does not just change it with CSS, so you do not end up with any css conflicts. However, with Bootstrap 3, for the image to be responsive you need to add the class img-responsive to the img tag - unlike Bootstrap 2, it is not responsive by default. If you are just allowing them to upload an image, then you can simply add this to the image output on the template. If, you are allowing them to add an image via one of the RTEs then you can still add this using a bit of jquery to add the class.

One other small thing is that Ametys is a Java application. Having worked within two other java applications and been involved in their communities, they are a very tight knit and mutually supportive bunch. The Java communities are like a hidden part of the developer community, sometimes - or it can feel like that. When I started looking at Liferay, it was like I had found an entire new world. Here were hard working developers who said things like "yes, heard of Wordpress - never used it though so I haven't the foggiest" or "Joomla - is that still around?" And there tends to be a general distrust of anything PHP which many see as a security risk waiting to pounce. So, if Ametys got a lot of support from the java community, it would not necessarily be very obvious. Anyway .... probably enough of this subject now! There is the potential in the next couple of months of a few more people turning up to these forums looking for help and advice, so adding to any documentation might be more productive than moaning about a competition we just won! There, I had to say that - as an old fart of a bear, I kind of saw it as a duty! (or perhaps just a bad habit) Joss

Did you? I lived in Cambridge for a few years, though I didn't stray much into Norfolk - strange place that .........

Okay, About time I put the lyrics down - you have to appreciate that I ad-libbed the entire thing at the time, playing the piano at the same time. Now are you wired? Soma's got the code, gonna make it right He's gonna program all damn night Diogo's got php on his mind Got stuck in a loop, he's in a bit of a bind Pete keeps panicking! His forum just broke He hopes all the others Just think its a joke They're all at Processwire They're living the Processwire Dream I've got it wired Processwire... Ryan is watching He knows that its true ProcessWire can kill the blues Its so real, it feels good! Processwire underneath the hood...

You have just read the entire thread in order? I am impressed!!!

Oh Good! I can now put my twitter account back to sleep - I very rarely use it! I notice that the next competition has already started and Ametys CMS has hit the ground running with 620 votes. Good luck to them!

Oh good! YAWN

Well, to start with I suggest you go play with one of the tutorials. http://wiki.processwire.com/index.php/Basic_Website_Tutorial This is a pretty thorough one which demonstrates some very basic use of php and so on - it walks you through it very simply, so you wont get lost. The chances are, if you have some basic understanding of how this works together, then you will find you learn faster than you think. The advantages are that even though you have to actually get your hands dirty rather than use plug-and-play addons, the resulting site is much leaner, faster, more efficient and far more maintainable - after all, you will know every nook and cranny of it! So, play with that tutorial, maybe try the news one after which is also on the wiki site, and see how you get on. Good luck!

Ah, well as it happens, it was them that wanted it changed from 0.9 to 0.8 I meant to mention that for their news, or "notices" as they call it, they decide manually what gets shown on the front page (only will show 4) and what gets featured in the carousel on the noticeboard. The rest of the noticeboard page is all those articles that are NOT featured, though they may be on the front page. This is just because they have some issues which don't seem to want to go away, so they want to keep those articles up the top all the time. It is not heavily managed, but just enough to give them a little bit of versatility without swamping them with option. This is actually one of the more important points about something like ProcessWire - the ability to develop the settings the client needs without lumbering them with a huge amount of default options that they will never use and make their UI look messy.

Okay, so suddenly the number of votes shot up - their's rather more than ours .....

Retweet it!

And by fishing, I mean the sort with a line, hook and dinner attached to the end. http://harlestonanglingclub.co.uk/ I haven't done any of the content this time - it is all the clients work directly onto the site, including any images. It is mostly a pretty straightforward website with a few bits and pieces. They can change the main header image as well as the large site background image. They can manage the slideshow of course. There is a link system with categories that automatically generates a list of places that also sell tickets. Repeater fields are used for things like the ticket prices tables. The fixture list is a bit of fun and thanks to various people here for helping with that a few months ago. It automatically sorts into Years, then months, then days. Graphically, all I did was create their main header banner and a map on the contact page. Since the "management" have a pretty dry way of writing, my main concern was to give the site a lot of air and openness to try and take away from that a little. The site was built with Bootstrap 3 in about two days or so. It has taken nearly three months to get the content sorted out I had one amusing issue. When I uploaded to their host (having persuaded them to upgrade from the Zeus server they were still on), I discovered that the page name for the admin I had chosen, happened to be one of a pile of aliases the hosts use for their control panel. So I could not login. Oops. Thankfully, changing the page name in the database solved the problem.
