    As I understand it, running git pull on the old repo under ryancramerdesign will automatically redirect to the new repo, so maybe that solves the entire problem.

    Exactly. I moved wireshell from my private account to an GitHub organization and everything got redirected.

  2. I think we should collect these keyboard improvements, put them into a Pull Request and point them towards "core", 2.8 and 3.0.

    For example: One could make the Page List in Admin (both Reno and Standard, they share the same code here) way more keyboard accessible with a few lines of code. I have this prepared but originially wanted to make further improvements on links' and buttons' focus styles, but don't find the time to finish it to match my aspiration.

    ProcessWire's admin themes deserve an accessibility boost :)

    PS: Not just admin themes, the standard themes should lead by example as well :)

    PPS: Just saw Ryan tagged it as "ToDo", yay O0

  3. Ah, you're using MAMP (Pro?). Try the following:

    * Main window › MySQL, tick checkbox "Allow network access" (I got the German version of MAMP, don't know the proper translation), restart.
    * In ProcessWire's /site/config.php, replace localhost with 127.0.0.1

    This is also an issue I found while working on wireshell with that particular MAMP set up.

  4. "jQuery-Based API" - that's where the comparison to jQuery bears potential for misunderstanding. A few people seem to skip the word "inspired" and make PW accidentally JavaScript-based. As a developer reading that list, not knowing PW, I would be rather alienated.

    Just thinking out loud - could we as the community find a one line pitch for ProcessWire's API that evenly matches without causing misunderstandings like these? "PW comes with an easily approachable and powerful API"? I know, neither short nor "sexy". But precise  ^_^

    /edit: When pitching PW to my customers (or potential ones) I compare it to "modelling clay" - a thing/tool that can be shaped in any desired form. Just ignore the shortcoming of this comparison, the connotation of "toy" ;)

  5. I am doing a simple translate English to French for a contact form using the code internationalisation syntax. Your Name, Your Email, Your Comments. I have used: 

    __("Your Email")
    

    for instance. Then I added French to languages under set-up>languages and added the template. The fields show up in English. I add some translations. Change the profile to French, view page, everything is still in  English.

    Bear in mind this is the first time I have done this, what am I missing?

    When you view/check your page frontend, are you still logged in?

    Try to view your page in another browser (or a private tab), where you can make sure that you aren't logged in (probably with a user whose language is set to English)

  6. Hi y'all,

    I recently had an enquiry regarding a possible web design job from a potential customer based in Britain. He also asked whether I'm offering webhosting (I'm not), but I want to at least recommend a handful of hosts.

    Problem is, I got no overview of UK hosters at all (just more or less for Germany). Googling would surface the ones with the best SEO departments, bot not necessarily the best ones :D

    Fellow British ProcessWirers, do you have any recommendations for me? Nothing fancy; we're talking about shared hosting, a small business site, hopefully on ProcessWire, here.

    Cheers!

  7. I'm also coming from MODX-land. Years ago, discovering MODX was like a salvation, because it was not biased in any way or didn't forced any particular output, but stayed behind the curtain and abstracted all content away into a nice tree of resources. Whether these resources would become pages or just parts of them, or something completely different like xml nodes didn't matter, and that was quite a relief coming from "everything is either an article or page, since I'm a blog system at heart" WordPress. But in the end MODX had its oddities [[LikeThis? stuff=`notintuitive_at_all`]] and the MODX team decided to put that very odd, editor-unfriendly, buggy and slow backend in Revolution. Then again, discovering ProcessWire was like a salvation...  ;)

  8. Regarding the date itself, and regardless how we celebrate (by deny oneself coffee, WTF?!): We could ask Ryan if he could pinpoint the day of his first commit for PW or its predecessor  O0

  9. Good morning, wireshell 0.5.0!

    This great justb3a-driven update to wireshell add some more goodies to our little command line companion, such as:

    • ProcessWire core update via command line
    • Page command context: Create, List, Delete pages from wireshell, empty the trash. Listing can start at ID 1 or any other page/ID
    • Adds backups of image assets to backup command context
    • List all available templates, including system ones
    • Delete templates via wireshell
    • Clone fields via field:clone
    • wireshell runs now from everywhere within your PW installation, not just its root folder
       

    As always, further documentation can be found on https://github.com/wireshell/wireshell

    Keep in mind that we're still on a version number below 1, therefore in an experimental state - use wireshell with caution and backup before critical operations. Also, drop us a line if you run into dependency problems (such as trouble with symfony/console).

    Happy CLIng!
