    Freeing the Captcha

    With Ticket Master announcing that they have dropped reCaptcha in favour of an advertising solution (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21260007) the question is, what do you do? Do you just have captcha on signup forms or on everything? Do your clients prefer to advertise their email address and cope with the spam? Have you a great alternative that does not annoy my mother... The days of trust have gone on the internet, but does the current trend of putting up brick walls everywhere risk isolating businesses? What is the best policy? And where a technical solution is required, which is the best one?

    Cart Keeper

    Yeah, new to me too - though they seem to have been around for some time. The potential is going to dump his copy on a cd so I can install it - Then I will know more. I had a very brief search and I haven't found any themes or templates from third parties.

    Cart Keeper

    I have just had a potential client call who wants a refresh of their existing shop (not a major change) They are using a software called Cart Keeper Anyone heard of it and know anything about it? And if so, what is it like to theme? It is proprietary, so I cant just down load it. Joss
  4. Thanks Soma. I think your second code is the best work-around!
  5. The problem is that although it is unviewable, it still ends up on the menu. Oh, and good morning! Edit - I mean, the front end menu
  6. I am getting a bit of strange behaviour (that I admit I have not tested properly - I am short of time at the moment) If I create a new page as a child of "home" and choose a template that HAS a template file, then after pressing save, the page is UN published. Good! However, if I create a page as a child of home and choose a template that does NOT have a template file, then after pressing save, the page is PUBLISHED. Not good! This is on the dev version of PW, by the way. Am I missing something? (I usually am)
  7. Welcome, Alex Hey, you would be amazed how you can contribute - sometimes just asking questions gives some of the more experienced developers an excuse to pour forth their knowledge! Cakes look good! (and dangerous for my waist line) and the site seems properly responsive (which is slowly becoming mandatory, I think). I like it. What are you using for the shopping cart?
  8. Having just used this article to simplify some of my own code, I have written up a full tutorial on the wiki using the Bootstrap Collapse plugin as a case study http://wiki.processwire.com/index.php/First_Child_in_a_loop Joss
  9. *hides treasured copy of FrontPage 2000* Well, there is method in my madness: Saw: Cut Brush: Paste Hammer: Delete Pot: File server
  10. A nuisance with me though - I always have to wade through the list of errors I create myself; I don't need chrome adding to my woes.
  11. Once upon a time, yes - or with me, in some hotel bar in Soho (I used to live there). These days - well, suffice to say, my liver loves me again!
  12. Oh, that was the draft, you will be glad to know
  13. See what I mean? When I used to do those programmes for Finnish Broadcasting, some of the words used to be the full length of the line. Even Erkki Toivanen (who was Finnish) used to fall over them. "Stupid language!" he used to say. "Who's idiotic idea was it to base the written version on Hungarian!!!!" (or whatever it was based on - long time ago this!) And he was the script writer too.... PS: I should add a little apocryphal story I was told at a party held by Finnish Broadcasting at the Finnish Consulate - one of the most drunken affairs I have ever attended! (This was over 20 years ago, so I hope I do it justice) "Once upon a time, the Finnish people were the happiest people in the world. They loved the cold, they loved the snow and ice, and they were very fond of Reindeer and Vodka (though not necessarily in that order). "Then one day, a very clever Fin said 'We have all this knowledge about Reindeer but we have no way of writing it down - and after all the Vodka, are in severe risk of forgetting it all! Lets invent a written language. "And so they looked for someone who could help, and they found this lovely old chap who had been a teacher in a far away land. They asked him, did he know any written languages and could he invent one for them? Of course he could, he told them, and went away to do it. "The Fins could hardly wait. Perhaps it would be like their Anglo Saxon friends - very clipped and to the point - or like the odd Frenchman they had met with his soft tones and latin. "So, they asked the old man when he arrived with his new dictionary. What language is this based on? "Hungarian. "That was many years ago and now the Fins are sad and fed up with their written language and the amount of vodka they drink has gone through the roof. "They still know a lot about cooking reindeer, however."
  14. Er, is it safe to? I just need to change one little thing in it - I realised that I still have a list of demo images in the Starter version! (oops)
  15. foreach ($accepted as $corrected) But, to be fair, when the Finnish use compound words, they do not put any nice clues in - for instance, where to take a breath!
  16. Well, if English were made to work like Finnish it would be foreach($blocks as $thewordthatmeansthosethingsthathurtlikehellwhenyouhithem)
  17. There is one? Oh, I will go look Interesting set of errors in chrome, by the way, which seems to object to the iframe: Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL I gather this is a common Chrome problem, however. Oh yeah!!! Okay, scrub my previous post.
  18. And there I was thinking I was making a joke! foreach($blokes as $bollocks)
  19. haha - Very sadly I tend to be surrounded by assorted espresso machines, Cafetière, kettles, tins of Illy Oddly, I don't actually drink much coffee, but I like nice coffee when I do.
  20. School? Okay, I think I can remember something about a school somewhere ... North London, I believe. I had to do an O-something in Woodwork, I think.
  21. Oh, its just a flyer - something silly to get started. I will follow up with a more serious one in a few weeks. It is very ... British!
  22. Yeah, but how many times do you check them for English Grammar, like wot I did?
  23. Okay, getting it working properly now, with all kinds of variables. This is what the fuss is about (not finished yet) Basically, everything on the page (apart from the long text bit) is a block from a central library. The blocks can have different themes, videos, text, icons and so on. THings like titles can be swithed on and off. For desktops, the blocks on each row are equalised in size (but that turns off for tablet and phones because it messes up)
  24. I would just settle for some work!
  25. Just a note if you are wanting YouTube to be responsive (which it is not out of the can) Then I stole this from http://avexdesigns.com/responsive-youtube-embed/ Add this css somewhere: .video-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; padding-top: 30px; height: 0; overflow: hidden; } .video-container iframe, .video-container object, .video-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; } The do this to your poor body block: <div class="video-container"><?php echo $page->body; ?></div> Obviously this probably only works neatly with just ONE video! Hmmm ... perhaps an alternative module-field type that is just a text box might be a good idea for this.
