Hetzner is quite cheap and reliable, and they make it easy to change PHP configurations. I also like their transparency with prices and communication. The control panel is admittedly not very attractive or intuitive, but we can't have it all, can we? 🤷

@MrSnoozles sorry, I have to correct myself here. I should have written that MariaDB and MySQL are generally interchangeable. There are different features since the very beginning, but they are very specific. It seems like, though, MySQL 8.0 has some bigger differences. Concerning JSON functionality. For what I understand, the difference is how JSON is stored on each of them. MySQL stores JSON as binary objects, and MariaDB as strings, but the functionality is (again) generally similar.

MariaDB and MySQL are interchangeable 🙂

Hi @houssam, welcome to the forums. Would you like to present yourself? How did you hear of ProcessWire?

Lately, I can’t stop listening to Aldous Harding. Also while programming ?

Just used this for a field holding private keys. Perfect! Thanks @Robin S ?

The database was named by the developer, or even the hosing server. If you have access to the hosting control panel, you might be able to upload files via FTP. In that case you could upload a "test.php" file to the root directory of the site (this directory would contain the "wire" and "site" directories and the "index.php" file) with the following code in it: <?php include("index.php"); echo $pages->get(2)->httpUrl; Than you can open the url http://mywebsite.com/test.php and the answer will show up. I also attached the file so you can download it ? test.php

Clearly I didn't make my point efficiently. I would hope the heavy use of emojis could even point out the lightheartedness of what I was writing. I referred to Cargo because people were talking about it, the idea was not to defend it on this particular situation but to try show a different side of it that people might have missed. To make it clear, I do agree that it's not the best tool to use for a client, and I admit that I went on a tangent to the conversation. That said, I would like to point out one or two things: Wow, I have to say, I'm finding it really hard to believe this whole paragraph, but this statement is particularly mind boggling. Of course I believe what you're saying is true, but, being originally a graphic designer myself and having worked for the web with many others, all I can assume is that you are meeting the wrong graphic designers. Graphic design, or design in general, is not just about artistry and creativity, but a very technical craft. I genuinely feel that you are not paying the same respect to another profession as you are demanding for your own.

I have to chime in here to say that I love the Cargo website myself ? I think we should take our developer hats off when thinking about this kind of page builder. In the case of Cargo, it's not even aimed primarily at professional designers, but artists in general. We are talking about people with a strong desire to experiment visually on their own website, and who may not have the money to invest upfront on a more robust tool. For them, the subscription plan that Cargo offers is quite nice, especially because they don't have to pay while building the website. Just browse through their site directory, and you will find some real gems — they might not appeal to you, but there are some very interesting solutions. I actually think the people at Cargo did a pretty good job at simplifying the job of building a website, with some original solutions for common problems. Just as an example, there is no concept of header and footer. Everything is a page (where did I hear this before? ?) and if you pin them, they appear on every webpage of the site. Because it works in such a different way then we are used from web dev and other page builders, it needs some tinkering before you get the hang of it. But we have to think that for someone who never built a website before, that doesn't pose a problem at all. Ok, enough ranting... just want to add that I also love their newsletter (don't expect any technical stuff there), that I open religiously every week, even if I don't use the service ?

All props to Jan! The PW people are definitely not an easy crowd for a page builder, but PAGEGRID is very well integrated in the system, with all the content that you add to the page saved as PW pages (a bit like with repeaters). Also, with PAGEGRID being just a PW field, like any other, you don't lose any of the flexibility of PW. It's not for everyone — it won't appeal to pure developers that don't care so much about design, and because it requires some knowledge of how CSS works, it may also not appeal to designers who don't care at all about the platform. Hopefully, there will be enough people in that middle who will appreciate it ?

Thanks again for catching the font issue @monollonom! Actually it was not Haas Grotesque causing the problem with the vertical metric. The problem was that the font was not loading at all, probably due to the file being corrupted and you were probably seeing the Helvetica present on your computer. This also must have happened when transferring the site to the server. Thanks again!

Thanks Ryan! We just take the vertical scroll position and convert it to translateX values on the rows, using requestAnimationFrame() to make it smooth. Well, PAGEGRID is doing it ?. There was a second <html> added by $config->prependTemplateFile. We forgot to remove it when we moved it from local to a new install in the server ? Thanks for catching this! Thanks Romain! Thanks for catching the problem with the font. For now we added a max-height only for Firefox using @-moz-document url-prefix(). We'll see if there's another version of Neue Haas Grotesk that doesn't have this problem.

Hey! I would like to announce that there is a new ProcessWire powered collaboration between me and Jan Ploch ? @jploch. When I moved to Hamburg, I contacted him through the forum and we ended up working at the same shared office. Meanwhile we collaborated on some projects and then started our own company (a GbR, in Germany). We named it KONKAT Studio. Now we are publishing our brand new website konkat.studio As you may know, Jan developed a page builder for ProcessWire called PAGEGRID. At first, we were going to develop our website the usual way, but then we decided that we should take PAGEGRID for a spin and beat the hell out of it, to see what we could come up with ? We had this idea of three rows scrolling in different directions, and because PAGEGRID has scroll animations built in, we managed to do it all without writing a line of code. We may write a case study soon for those who are interested.

There's pretty much always a sensible reason when it comes from Ryan ?
