Hey all, newbie to ProcessWire here with a few simple questions.
I am primarily a designer, but I know how to code my own design. The only time I work with PHP is when I build custom checkouts with Stripe, save orders to the database, query for valid coupon, etc.
So mostly basic stuff. Here is my current use case.
I have an existing web site that is vanilla HTML/CSS/JS that only touches the backend on checkout/creating order. The client wants me to add four new languages on top of default english.
Since I never ever want to go through the pain that is manually doing this in all of different places I decided to use CMS for this. I already looked at ProcessWire in the past, but in the end always resorted back to either CouchCMS or PerchCMS because both allowed me to leave my HTML as it is. No theming or PHP, just add custom tags to render/output content and that is it. Of course you can use PHP in both, but you can do a lot of powerful things with just custom tags.
Back to my question. What is the best way to proceed with adding ProcessWire to my existing site. There is no blog here, no articles, etc... nothing that is generated dynamically. I just want to be able to manage all translations from one central place.
From what I read, one way is to replace all html files with php extension, add that to templates folder and create pages from those templates. Then using the language fields mark those for editing in the backend.
Your thoughts?
