New version uploaded! Solved some of the major headaches and changed the look and feel a little. PLUS - Updated to Bootstrap 2.3 https://github.com/jsanglier/Bootwire-Admin EDIT Had to roll back the JS of Bootstrap as there seemed to be something odd going on with (possibly) the JQuery installed in PW. It might need 1.9+ Of course, the only affect was the Modal Save and Cancel buttons that have plagued me previously - typical!

HI Roelof are any other directories empty? In other words, has this installed properly? I wonder if your installation is missing bits....

Sometimes just commenting out Options +FollowSymLinks is all you need. Though, when I have had that problem, I have needed to comment it out of htaccess to install in the first place.

Yep, got one of those.

Is this on an already installed, previously functioning installation?

Interesting.... The gitignore file was automatically created by the windows github prog, so I didn't actually add anything to it. I have removed gitignore and gitattributes for the moment and will try again later Joss

I am having a problem with one of my own profiles when installed using the Github download. It is the same trouble others have had of not being able to login to the admin once installed "appear to have been forged" Checking permissions on folders things look ok... However, if I install using the local github folder version, it installs perfectly fine. This is being installed on a local server running Virtualmin - normal 644/755 permissions and so on. Is something happening with GitHub, or perhaps the various gitattributes/gitignore files or something? I noticed a thread where someone was having a similar issue with Soma's blank profile. I really don't know much about Github. Joss

Oh rats. Updated

Update: The menu system on the Bootwire Starter Profile is now fully functioning with unlimited sub-menus. DOWNLOAD: https://github.com/jsanglier/Bootwire-Starter-Profile However, to use this as a properly responsive system that works with touch devices, I do not suggest that you use sub menus, but just the main dropdowns by limiting the scope of your pages. If some kind person would like to check the download and let me know if it is okay, I will then add it to the Modules. Joss

Okay - I will update my install. Thanks again Soma Edit: The Nav2 and dropdown-menu2 need to be changed to nav and dropdown-menu or it wont work.

Absolutely fantastic! Not sure what else to say really Right, well that make the Bootstrap basic profile complete, since that was the last element to get properly right. I will also post this on the wiki to replace the current, out of date version that is on there. Next thing is I need to study it and understand how it works - and so I will learn a little bit more..... Thanks mate Joss

Okay, it now works and the top level <li> get the active class when their link is active. However, they are not yet getting the class if a child is active. This is using my old menu: http://pwdemo2.stonywebsites.co.uk/about/about-us/ When the sub item is clicked the parent gets an active class, this is not happening with the new menu ..... yet! This is the complete code so far, thanks guys! EDIT: Of course, the home page doesn't get active either because it is outside of the loop.... <?php /* * Thanks to Netcarver and Soma for sorting this out for me */ $homepage = $pages->get("/"); function renderChildrenOf($parent) { $output = ''; $children = $parent->children; foreach ($children as $child) { if(count($child->parents) == 1){ $atoggle = 'class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" '; // The toggle for the top level <a> tags when there are children $dropclass = ' dropdown'; // The class for the top level <li> tabs when they have children } else { $dropclass = ' dropdown-submenu'; // The class for lower level <li> that also have children } $class = ($child === wire("page")) ? " active" : ''; // Makes the top level <li> acive when on that page // If this child is itself a parent, then render it's children in their own menu too... if (count($child->children)) { $output .= '<li class=" ' . $dropclass . '' . $class . ' "><a href="' . $child->url .'" '. $atoggle .'>' . $child->title . '</a>'; $output .= '<ul class="dropdown-menu">' . renderChildrenOf($child) . '</ul>'; $output .= '</li>'; } else { $output .= '<li class=" '. $class .' "><a href="' . $child->url .'" >' . $child->title . '</a></li>'; } } return $output; } // Setup the start of the top-level menu... $menu = '<ul class="nav">'; // Append something for the homepage (as menus usually squish the root node in with its children anyway)... $menu .= '<li><a href="/">' . $homepage->title . '</a></li>'; // Set the ball rolling... $menu .= renderChildrenOf($homepage); // Close the top-level menu... $menu .= '</ul>'; // Show the result to the world... echo $menu;

One last thing! I can't get this to work: $class = $child === $page->rootParent ? " active" : ''; I need to put the class active into the first level (only) <li> tags when the page is, umm, active. But this doesn't seem to want to work in the code by Netcarver above. It isn't returning anything.

Okay, now that has got me much closer!

Hi Netcarver Okay, I am a bit of the way there. What I need to do is say something like: If the child <li> is a child of the homepage (or belongs to the toplevel <ul>), then $dropclass = ' dropdown'; else, $dropclass = ' dropdown-submenu'; I will need to do similar to the <a> tag that needs to go within the li I Basically, the first level of <li> that have children need the class "dropdown" but lower levels of <li> that have chidren need the class "dropdown-submenu" Likewise, the <a> of top level <li> that have children need a class, where as lowever level ones need something else Sorry I have been so slow on this! Joss

Ah, that is a good point. The files could just be in a subdirectory to the module and then just copied.... a bit obvious - why didnt I think about that???

Ta!

Thanks Soma! That at least gets me part of the way there. What about creating actual files (complete with content)?

I was thinking about creating myself a module to short cut certain site development. For instance, on a basic brochure site , it would be common to have a small news section that would vary very little from one site to another. So, all the module need to do is a one-off process on installation: Create: A bunch of fields using standard available field types, A handful of templates using the fields A few template files and some inc files in a separate folder (which may or may not exist yet) A few pages to weld it together. As I said, this is just a development short cut - you would still have to work it into the site, but it would reduce the work load. I suppose the result would be a skeleton module that could be used to create lots of variations of the above. The trouble is, I am not sure how to do the install functions for the above - especially the creation of actual files and/or folders. Any clues? Joss PS: Oh, I suppose an added function could be that you could get it to check if a particular field type existed (for instance, crop-image) and if not, download and install it!)

Interestingly, I was writing a script today with a client using Google docs, er, Drive. It was a bit of a fight editing exactly the same text at exactly the same time, but rather fun too! We ended up adding a skype connection so we could yell "stop doing that!" at each other.

Wow, he did that without taking a breath!

Joshuag You might want to look at what I have done (er, am doing) with a bootstrap profile http://processwire.com/talk/topic/2411-bootwire-basic-twitter-bootstrap-profile/ Basically I am creating two - one that has bootstrap installed and then demonstration pages showing how some of the bootstrap elements work in this environment (which is actually straight out of the box, but it is nice to show it anyway) Then the second is the same things with just about everything removed - almost no fields, only a couple of template files, no content, just ready to go and put together so that more up-to-date bootstrap versions can be just dropped in place. The only extras in there is the standard Bootstrap menu system wired into PW and basic demo carousel and accordion files to save people having to mess around with these. So, that is the profile that is really useful to people - the first is just a reference. Joss

There is something about working with PW that seems to be encouraging people towards nice clean design. A great example!

$goodvar = stripCrapCopy($dodgyText, goodText, en-GB);

I am using Sublime rather than Aptana now - it is a memory hog issue (Aptana is huge) But I do miss some bits and pieces. Although I have the folder tree plugin, I miss the full file management you have in aptana - I cant copy and paste from Explorer into Sublime like you can with Aptana, for instance. Also, Aptana has a very powerful and built in syncing system that is much more full featured than the SFTP plugin for Sublime. I find I miss all the various additional reporting screens you get with Aptana/Eclipse much less than I thought I would. And Sublime is one hell of a lot faster - no typing lag (you get that with Aptana when you have a lot of projects). So, I will probably stick to Sublime now unless I am running on a very powerful box.
