Greetings to all of you gorgeous people here. I have stumbled across ProcessWire while looking for functionality info on MODx Revo and I felt in love with it. As far as I am not a programmer and have enough books to read and learn throughout my IT job, I was looking for something to be easy (for starting) and that can let me have fun and learn something extra. To make the learning memorable, I am always diving into the matter so following my habit in PW too, I decided to pick up a more complex HTML theme and make it dynamic using PW. Am I a programmer - well, I can read and eventually modify some code, but to write it from scratch - not anywhere close. Am I an HTML guru - not exactly, and that is why I decided to grab a theme I like and play with it. My only requirement was to have a well written and fully validated responsive theme. So I found THIS ONE and plan to work with it (already purchased to support the developer). I am planning to share my approaches and the progress so would appreciate any shared thoughts, advice, and even some criticism if you see me getting into a wrong direction. Having done most of the project under ModX it should not be that difficult for me to have all the bits and pieces in place. Where I am not sure yet how that would be done are the pull up of the latest posts/comments, the categories with listings, search, and some other stuff. What I found great in PW was the fact that it already has a fully working theme that I can dissect, read through a zooming glass and take some code from there. My first question is - which way should I go for the repetitive pieces of code (chunks) - should I create an include folder in site/templates and put all my pieces as XXXX.inc or I should just add those in the database as templates with no file assigned to them and set as not searchable etc. I would appreciate if you share your best experience and give some info why that is the better option so that I can understand the approach and turn it into a proper habit. Once I have this cleared out, I would start documenting the process so any corrections or better approaches can be suggested. Wish me luck on that journey and let's make it happen together. Shall we?

Hi, I think this is my first topic, even though I've been working with PW a few years. But now, I'm trying to restructure my way of coding, cause many templates (like activities for birding societies) are re appearing in multiple different websites. Since this, I've been working on redo this into a module, but as far as I have read I cannot store the templates (related to specific module) in the module's folder. It has to be in the templates folder?

Hello! I'm currently trying to create a navigation menu using list items and I'm having issues pulling children pages properly and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. The code below was modified from the default (intermediate) template that outputs child pages of the main page. (Home -> About, SiteMap). But one of the children (About page), also has 3 child pages and I'm not sure how to also get those 3 additional child pages to display as well within the same foreach statement. Because of the way the menu is structured I would need to change the output of the HTML for any Child Page with additional Children (it nests underneath in the nav). Currently only Home, About and Sitemap appear and I want to also include the child pages of About nested properly within the navigation. Current code, only accounting for Homepage and it's children. Works great and as expected: Home About Sitemap <!-- START SIDEBAR MENU --> <div class="sidebar-menu"> <!-- BEGIN SIDEBAR MENU ITEMS--> <ul class="menu-items"> <?php // top navigation consists of homepage and its visible children foreach($homepage->and($homepage->children) as $item) { echo "<li class=''><a href='$item->url'><span class='title'>$item->title</span>"; // Grab first two letters of page to output for menu icon and set active class if($item->id == $page->rootParent->id) { echo "</a><span class='bg-success icon-thumbnail'>"; echo substr($item->title, 0, 2); echo "</span></li>"; } else { echo "</a><span class='icon-thumbnail'>"; echo substr($item->title, 0, 2); echo "</span></li>"; } } ?> </ul> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> <!-- END SIDEBAR MENU --> Modified not working markup trying to also nest children of a child: Home About Page1 Page2 Page3 SiteMap <!-- START SIDEBAR MENU --> <div class="sidebar-menu"> <!-- BEGIN SIDEBAR MENU ITEMS--> <ul class="menu-items"> <?php // top navigation consists of homepage and its visible children foreach($homepage->and($homepage->children) as $item) { echo "<li class=''><a href='$item->url'><span class='title'>$item->title</span>"; // check if a top navigation item's visible children has child pages // if true, change markup of top navigation item to account for nested children if(($homepage->children)->hasChildren()) { //change menu item to menu item /w sub-items echo "<li class=''><a href='javascript:;'><span class='title'>$item->title</span> <span class='arrow'></span></a><span class='icon-thumbnail'><i class='pg-form'></i></span>"; //loop through the top navigation child's children pages and output them as nested menu item foreach($child->children as $childitem) { echo "<ul class='sub-menu'>"; echo "<li class=''><a href='$childitem->url'>$childitem->title</a>"; echo "</a><span class='icon-thumbnail'>"; echo substr($childitem->title, 0, 2); echo "</span></li></ul></li>"; } } //step back out and continue listing Homepage Children pages if($item->id == $page->rootParent->id) { echo "</a><span class='bg-success icon-thumbnail'>"; echo substr($item->title, 0, 2); echo "</span></li>"; } else { echo "</a><span class='icon-thumbnail'>"; echo substr($item->title, 0, 2); echo "</span></li>"; } } ?> </ul> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> <!-- END SIDEBAR MENU --> Any insights would be appreciated! I'm also sure the php code itself can be refactored better but still learning for now.

I enabled language support and now I get "Trying to get property of non-object" for lines like: <p><?= $page->text ?></p> The content is still available in the backend. On another page I get text from the frontpage with: <?php $somepage = $pages->get(1); ?> ... <p><?= $somepage->text ?></p> This outputs the text although on the frontpage it doesn't. I also do this on the header. On the frontpage I added some fields that are thus "shared" among all pages the content fails with the error for `<?= $page->text ?>` but not for `<?= $pages->get(1)->text ?>`. On a third page everything works as expected All three pages have different templates. Additionally if the field is wrapped with frontend editing like so: <p><edit text><?= $page->text ?></edit></p> The page source will end up like this: <p></edit></p> Before having to dig deep into this: Any idea what it could be? I var_dumped $page and that gives an object.

Say I have a field for an unordered list. I need to have such a list twice on the page with different list items. Ideally I would create one field that can take html and only allows for <ul> and <li>. I can add the field to another template. But it seems I can't add that field twice to a template or am I missing something?

Hi all I am looking for a good solution to give my content area more variety. In output, think of the WordPress page builder plugins. I really like you can put together the content depending of what you want to say (visually). In other words, I don't like pages with one content column (text from top to bottom, maybe an image floated to the right, etc.). I know you can create different templates and use them. But still you are stuck to exactly those templates and their repetitive content flow. I had a look at the PageTable field and that was kind of what would be a good solution. I thought I create just content blocks (like a slider, accordion, two/three/four column block, parallax block, etc.) and put them on my pages together as I like. However, those blocks are stored as children and may interfere with actual children of that page, don't they? Any suggestions to get more rich content areas?

Hi, Just started using PW and really love it. I've started to create my own template and was hoping I could get some advice on how best to go about my project. I've created a one page website which uses HTML, CSS and Javascript and want to convert this over for use with PW. The concept is fairly straightforward, it's a series of module blocks of HTML which I can move to alter my layout. Here's an example of the structure: Header Page1 Module1 Module2 Module3 Page2 Module1 Module2 Module3 Footer Page 1 and 2 are essentially <div> containers and each module is also contained in it's own <div>. My understanding of PW is the code for each module I've created would get wrapped into various custom Template Files which could then be positioned as required within the page Template. Is this correct? I plan to use this layout for multiple sites so I also wanted to know if it was possible to create the module blocks in such a way that they could easily be installed/ported across to another site? Any advice or links to creating this setup would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys.. I was wondering.. How do I render or output simpel <input> markup?? The list output that InputfieldForm makes is tomutch.. Im loading a template (without file) and I want to output the same fields as a form in the frontend.. Thanks for all your work...

Hi I'm now understanding the basic of PW but for this one, I have no idea where to begin. I have 2 pages : publication and member. I want to add publications (automatically as I created them) to its member. Since I have hundred of publications, I want to create them using csv import. I used a specialised software to export them in the way I want. The format would be Name LastName1, Name LastName2 (2016) Title. Journal. Vol:Number. Url. I have variable numbers of authors by publication. My member's template have the title containing "Name LastName" and have a pageField "publi". How I can achieve that? I read in the forums I could assign page to a field via hooks. But I'm not sure what I should do. Also a more design question, do I should create all authors as unique fields? How I can create the good number of those fields? Or can I just create 1 author field in publi's template and search inside this value? Also for the others fields, do I should create them individually if I want to output this specific markup (italic, bold)? Hope it is clear... Thanks Mel

Module: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/ajax-intercooler-js/ Repo: https://bitbucket.org/pwFoo/ajaxintercoolerjs AjaxIntercoolerJS module features integrates IntercoolerJS async CCS ("loadCSS") and JavaScript load / update optional disable async css / js handling for blocks, sidebar, ... Intercooler X-IC response header support support / hook $session->redirect multiple X-IC-Trigger handling multiple X-IC-Script handling Usage Basics It's a autoload module, but you need to enable it inside of your templates, because scripts and dependencies ("JqueryCore") have to be loaded too. You can enable / load it global inside of the TemplateFileHelper controller "_layout.php" $ic->enable(); Some changes are needed to your main template "_layout.tpl". <!-- IntercoolerJS needs a target with ID "pageContent" for (async) page content --> <div id="pageContent"><?=$pageContent?></div> And your navigation links need some IntercoolerJS attributes like that. <a href="..." ic-get-from='/url-to-load' ic-target='#sidebar'>...</a> Your just use and hook MarkupSimpleNavigation. $nav = $modules->get('MarkupSimpleNavigation'); $opts = array( 'show_root' => true, 'item_tpl' => "<a href='{url}' ic-get-from='{url}' ic-target='#pageContent' ic-push-url=true>{title}</a>", 'item_current_tpl' => "<a href='{url}' ic-get-from='{url}' ic-target='#pageContent' ic-push-url=true>{title}</a>", ); // optional modify a specific link to use another target. For example "#sidebar" $nav->addHookAfter('getTagsString', null, function($event) { $link = $event->arguments[1]; if ($link->title == 'sidebar') { $event->return = "<a href='{$link->url}' ic-get-from='{$link->url}' ic-target='#sidebar'>{$link->title} (sidebar)</a>"; } }); // render and set as _layout.tpl template var $layout->set('navigation', $nav->render($opts)); Disable CSS refresh (remove "current" styles and load the new one) The current loaded page css shouldn't removed if the sidebar is updated. So it's possible to disable the asyncHandler inside of the "sidebar" template. $ic->asyncHandler(false); Quick and dirty FrontendUser integration You just need a PW template file like that. $fu = $modules->get('FrontendUser'); $fu->login(); $button = $fu->form->fhSubmitBtn; $button->attr('ic-post-to', $page->url); $button->attr('ic-target', '#pageContent'); if (!empty($_GET['logout'])) { $fu->logout($page->url); } // Workaround until IntercoolerJS 1.0.1 release if ($input->post['ic-trigger-name']) { $input->post[$fu->form->fhSubmitBtn->name] = $input->post['ic-trigger-name']; } $processed = $fu->process($page->url); if ($processed && !$user->isGuest()) { // $processed == false if login failed (not submitted / login successful == true) echo "Hello $user->name!"; echo "<a href='$page->url?logout=1'>Logout</a>"; } else { echo $fu->render(); } X-IC Response Headers /** * Set x-ic-trigger response header * @param array $array One or more events with related data arrays */ public function trigger($array) { $json = json_encode($array); header('x-ic-trigger: ' . $json); } /** * Set x-ic-script response header * @param string $js Valid javaScript code */ public function script($js) { header('X-IC-Script: ' . $js); } /** * Stop current / parent element Intercooler polling */ public function cancelPolling() { header ('x-ic-cancelPolling: true'); } /** * Resume current / parent element Intercooler polling */ public function resumePolling() { header ('x-ic-resumePolling: true'); } /** * Set current / parent element Intercooler polling interval * @param string $interval */ public function setPollInterval($interval) { header ('x-ic-setPollInterval: ' . $interval); } /** * Set x-ic-refresh response header * @param string $pathCsv Comma separated paths to refresh. */ public function refresh($pathCsv) { header('x-ic-refresh: ' . $pathCsv); } /** * Set x-ic-open response header * @param string $url New window / tab address */ public function open($url) { header('x-ic-open: ' . $url); } /** * Set x-ic-redirect response header * @param string $url Redirect destination address */ public function redirect($url) { header('x-ic-redirect: ' .$url); } Wrapper for X-IC-Trigger Add a event trigger with event name ($event) and parameters array ($array). "addTrigger()" method is a wrapper for usage with multiple event triggers. Native method for a single execution is method "trigger()" $ic->addTrigger($event, $array); Wrapper for X-IC-Script String of javascript code for client side execution. "addScript()" method is a wrapper for multiple usage of "script()" method. $ic->addScript($javascript); $session->redirect is hooked! The module hooks $session->redirect() method for ajax calls. It's needed to execute redirects by IntercoolerJS X-IC-Redirect for ajax calls. Used for the FrontendUser integration.

Module: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/template-file-helper/ Repo: https://bitbucket.org/pwFoo/templatefilehelper/overview TemplateFileHelper module features add global controller and template to current page by a Page::render hook Manage global ($layout) and current page ($view) styles and scripts with a $config->scripts / $config->styles context mapping. So $config->styles / $config->scripts works fine too load sub-templates with a controller file an array of data to fill template variables just an html template Ajax page load in mind Usage Global layout A global controller / template is added by a Page::render hook. /site/templates/_layout.php // controller /site/templates/_layout.tpl // view / html template Example _layout.tpl <!doctype html> <html lang="de"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>TemplateFileHelper Processwire</title> <?=$styles?> <?=$scripts?> </head> <body> <div id="nav"><?=$navigation?></div> <div id="pageContent"><?=$pageContent?></div> </body> </html> Example _layout.php // MarkupSimpleNavigation $nav = $modules->get('MarkupSimpleNavigation'); $layout->set('navigation', $nav->render($opts)); // Global and current page styles $styles = ''; foreach ($layout->styles as $style) { $styles .= "<link href='{$style}' rel='stylesheet' class='global'>"; } foreach ($view->styles as $style) { $styles .= "<link href='{$style}' rel='stylesheet' class='current'>"; } $layout->set('styles', $styles); // Global and current page scripts $scripts = ''; foreach ($layout->scripts as $script) { $scripts .= "<script src='{$script}' type='text/javascript' class='global'></script>"; } foreach ($view->scripts as $script) { $scripts .= "<script src='{$script}' type='text/javascript' class='current'></script>"; } $layout->set('scripts', $scripts); Current page The PW template of current page will rendered inside the global view by Page::render hook. /site/templates/basic-page.php // controller /site/templates/basic-page.tpl // view / html template Example basic-page.tpl <div><?=$contentHome?></div> Example basic-page.php $view->set('contentHome', 'Simple output...'); echo $view->render(); Output (for example to debug) is possible too. echo "My PW template file output..."; $view->set('contentHome', 'Simple output...'); echo $view->render(); Sub-templates It's possible to use sub-templates / chunks inside of a PW template / controller. Sub-template with controller / view files $part = $view->load('parts/test1', 'parts/test1'); // relative to /site/templates (view = .tpl, controller = .php $part = $view->load('parts/test1', true); // same as above. "True" instead of write identical path / file twice $part = $view->load('parts/test1', 'parts/test1_controller'); // view "parts/test1.tpl", controller "parts/test1_controller.php" Sub-template with array data $part = $view->load('chunks/test1', array('variable1' => "value1", 'variable2' => 'value2')); Sub-template just a html chunk $part = $view->load('chunks/test1'); // view file /site/templates/chunks/test1.tpl PW template file as view Because direct output inside a PW template file is possible it also works without a view. Example: PW template without viewTested with the FrontendUser module quick and dirty... $fu = $modules->get('FrontendUser'); $fu->login(); $button = $fu->form->fhSubmitBtn; if (!empty($_GET['logout'])) { $fu->logout($page->url); } $processed = $fu->process($page->url); if ($processed && !$user->isGuest()) { // $processed == false if login failed (not submitted / login successful == true) echo "Hello $user->name!"; echo "<a href='$page->url?logout=1'>Logout</a>"; } else { echo $fu->render(); } Scripts / Styles context The module itself takes care about the global (inside _layout.php) and "current" (inside PW template file). Just use PW $config to set styles and scripts. $config->scripts->add('...'); $config->styles->add('...'); You can also force the context by use the additional global api variables. $layout->scripts->add('...'); // global context $layout->styles->add('...'); // global context $view->scripts->add('...'); // current page context $view->styles->add('...'); // current page context

Hi Guys, I am trying to create a folder structure in templates folder because i going to have a huge list of templates so for future use i want to create a folder structure in template folder so returning user can easily find and modify them according to requirements. e.g i have few templates for pages and few templates which i am going to use in templates as includes files. i am calling them BLOCKS. so i want to create block folder into the template folder but in admin panel when i am adding new template it's not picking up block1.php file which is located in Templates>Blocks> ... Is there any option so we can enforce PW to pick folders from inside a folder in templates folder. Regards J

Dear all, I have the following situation: There's a template with a PageTable field. All the PageTable elements may have different templates - let's call them element templates. These element templates use specific stylings and scripts. E.g., one element contains a contact form (built with FormBuilder) that needs form-specific CSS and JS. The page elements are not direct children of the page. They're attached to a separate page that serves as an element container. But that's just an aside. I general, when it comes to rendering my pages, I am following the "delayed output" strategy suggested by Ryan. Now my question is this: When I render the (main) page with all its PageTable elements (with possibly different templates), how do I include all the elements and their templates in the rendering strategy? Of course, in my (main) page template I could simply iterate over the elements and render them. However, at the time of rendering these elements, I haven't included their custom styling and script requirements yet. I should somehow do that before so that such specific stylings etc. can be included in the <head> section of the generated output. I hope you understand what I am trying to convey. I just want to do it the beautiful way, or the PW way Any suggestions are appreciated.

I pushed an initial (testing) version of TemplateFileHelper to bitbucket. https://bitbucket.org/pwFoo/templatefilehelper/src/ The autoload module extends TemplateFile instances with API vars $layout and $view $layout -> global layout instance of TemplateFile to set layout placeholders ($layout->set(...) or global scripts / styles. $view -> current page instance of TemplateFile to set the current page placeholders and current page scripts / styles. load() method Load a template / view with additional controller (php) file as subTemplate. Returns a TemplateFile object to render / output Each sub-template controller have access to API Vars and $subTemplate (current TemplateFile instance, $subTemplate->set('placeholder', 'My value...')). Load site/templates/chunks/test1.php controller and site/templates/chunks/test1.tpl view: $part = $view->load('chunks/test1'); echo $part->render(); chunks/test1 example <?php // chunks/test1.php - controller $subTemplate->set('var1', "Subtemplate variable output..."); <!-- chunks/test1.tpl - view --> <div><?=$var1?></div> scripts / styles properties FilenameArray like $config->styles | scripts. It should help to organize scripts / styles with ajax in mind (global / current page only). // current page script $view->scripts->add('js-file.js'); // global / layout script $layout->scripts->add('js-file.js'); You have to handle the output yourself by two foreach loops inside your _layout.php / _layout.tpl files (non ajax calls scripts and styles should be in layout head section). foreach ($layout->scripts as $globalScript) { ... } foreach ($view->scripts as $currentPageScript) { ... } IntercoolerJS module will take care about async / ajax handling of (custom page) scripts and styles. hook Page::render hook after page render to load and add the global layout. The current page template (PW template file == controller) just handle the currents page code / view. Global layout / controller / view is moved to separate files (default: _layout.php controller and _layout.tpl view). Just use $layout->set(...) to fill the _layout.tpl placeholder variables inside the _layout.php controller file. configurable module Some settings are available... Global layout (view + controller) file name (default: "_layout") Current page content variable (used inside of the _layout.tpl view to output current page content, default: "currentPageContent") View file extension (default: ".tpl") Controller file extension (default: ".php") It will be a dependency of the planned IntercoolerJS module which adds ajax page calls, async scripts / styles handling (current page scripts and styles...) and need a defined template handling to work...

Hi Guys, something I'm wondering about: is there any easy solution to show the template (or template label) within the page tree in the backend. The reason I'm asking is because we have a page tree consisting of many different pages and templates on the same level. For editors it would be nice to be able to see what template each page has without having to navigate into the page... Cheers, Kurbel

Hey there, I need to temporarily disable the template cache within template context. Since throwing a Wire404Exception effectively holds up the template cache I think it should be possible somehow. Anyways no luck so far ... I basically wan't to handle all kinds of errors myself and return a error message as json within the catch blocks of try & catch. If i just throw the Wire404Exception I'll get html with a json header. (Template is set to return json because otherwise I can't define the header when using template cache) Just throwing a Wire404Exception all the time is no real solution thought. It's dirty and not every error is a 404. Thank you for your help in advance

I am manually duplicating a 2.7.x site in a 3.0.33 installation, and have run into a couple issues. First, with my language support, a couple of my languages (German, Finnish, English) have the correct url segment (de, fi, en). The rest (French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish) all have their url segment showing as 'en' even though I have set them properly under Setup / Languages (I even tried to change these and it did nothing). Second issue: as I create a page of a certain template, the Title and name I input on the initial creation/template selection page is not saved, and instead I get an auto-gen'd name and the title is blank after I click Save. I haven't experienced this with any other templates, and I don't see anything odd about the template settings. If I didn't have a couple hundred of these pages to add to the site, I wouldn't mind figuring it out later, but with that quantity I'd like to sort it out at the start. Creating the page (the template is auto-selected because of the parent page): Then after it's saved, the Content Tab has no Title entered and the Setup tab has the default name: Appreciate any insight from someone who may have run into this already! Thanks!

While the implementation here is specific to InGo product functionality, we thought we'd share it here generally as well because the approach and use of templates, fields and other aspects of the implementation might be useful to others trying to incorporate third-party widgets into your pages. Enjoy! Integrating InGo Into a ProcessWire Site

I am wandering to find out if it is easy something like: "..., sort=template, ..." or "..., sort=template.name, ..." for sorting the pages by their template name in selectors result. When it will be useful: 1. My clients were asking to display the professors first, then doctors, then students in the paginated staff list. 2. Other clients requested to display products pages first in the site search results. I know I could use two search selectors and to concatenate their PageArrays but it will be more complicated with the pagination. I could use a dropdown with "search in products", "search in site" too.

After getting a lot more confident with my php skills, I thought I would try condensing my file structure by using the _func.php in my templates. I thought this would be a great way to cut down on my includes (Currently at around 12). However, I ran into a bit of a snag. From my reading, I understand that $page is not a global variable, and that I could use something like: $pages = wire('pages'); to get the desired result. However, I must not be using this right :). Here Is what I have: function basicPage(){ $pages = wire('pages'); $output = ""; $output .="<div class=\"container\">"; $output .="<div class=\"row\">"; $output .="<div class=\"col-md-12\">"; $output .="<h1><?php echo $page->title; ?></h1>"; $output .="</div>"; $output .="</div>"; $output .="<div class=\"row\" id=\"tinyInfo\">"; $output .="<div class=\"col-md-12\">"; $output .="<ul class=\"about\">"; $output .="<li>{$pages->about}</li>"; $output .="</ul>"; $output .="</div>"; $output .="</div>"; $output .="<div class=\"row\">"; $output .="<div class=\"col-md-12\" id=\"maincopy\">"; $output .="{$pages->maincopy}"; $output .="</div>"; $output .="</div>"; $output .="<div class=\"row\">"; $output .="<div class=\"col-md-12\">"; include './includes/slider.php'; $output .="</div>"; $output .="</div>"; echo $output; } This doesn't seem to be outputing anything into my template. Have I missed a crucial step here, or is the "output" method I have chosen not even a great way to set this up? I understand includes wont work this way, but if anyone has suggestions on this I would gladly like to hear them. Sorry for a post with so many questions, but I am just stumped.

Hi Still on my quest to build my website. Since now I know how to basically display fields, I'm now at a design' step. I know I can do, what, and how, I want using PW, but there is so many possibilities! Could you help to choose the more efficient technique and/or point me pro and cons of each of them? My page is a classic team page Team Some text Director 1 (photo+text) Director 2 (photo+text) Other members ~35 photos separated in differents categories (photo, name and position title) Some text Method 1 : a page for each section. Pictures uploaded in one field, as described here. Using photo tags to create the different sections and description for name and position. Method 2: each person is a page. A field "category" will be added to displayed them correctly. Method 3 : repeater but I'm not sure yet how it works and his advantage or inconvenient. I have 35 photos to upload for now (one time upload, after I will add/modify only 2-3 by year). I was thinking using a module to batch Import via CSV to create pages (which seems to speed up with method 2) (However, I don't know if it's working for images). On the other hand, method 1 is also easy for uploading pictures in 1 click. However, adding description in batch seems more complicated and less easy to maintain (more clicks to see them). Also, subsidary question. If I want to re-use some pictures in an other webpage, is it easier to reuse from this page or just reupload and recreate a child page in an other page? Do I miss something? Thanks Melanie

Hi I read tons of posts/tutorials about categories and variations on the same subject. However, I think there is something I don't understand or just use a wrong design. Does someone could kindly explain where is my problem? Directory (basic-page template) -- Category (links template) --- Link 1 (repeater) I have no problem to output the content of the repeater on his own page of category. However, my problem is to list everything on the directory page. I suppose I can do a $page->find("template=links") but it make no sense to add that on a general basic-page template. Or do I should have a specific template for the parent page? Or some kind of function I can reuse? (I have the exact same problem for my gallery page with a category and their children) Thanks. Mel Links template $content .= $page->render('links'); /Fields/links function renderLinks($page) { foreach($page->links as $link) { echo "<h2><a href='{$link->http_link}'>{$link->title}</a></h2>"; echo "<p>{$link->summary}</p>"; echo "<p><a href='{$link->one_image->url}'><img src='{$link->one_image->url}' alt='{$link->one_image->description}' ></a></p>"; } } $content = renderLinks($page);

Hi, So, first question... To learn how to use PW, I tried to build a really basic news system. So I created a news template with 4 fields - title, date, summary, image. Done. After, as I was not sure I started from basic-page.php and tried to modify by using HTML from my old website. After many trials and errors, I succeed to display something. <?php namespace ProcessWire; $content = "<article><h2>" . $page->body . "</h2> <header class='news-meta'> <strong>Date : </strong> " . $page->get("publish_date") . " </header> <div class='news-content-text'> <p>". $page->get("summary") . "</p> </div> <div class='article'> text </div> " . "<p><img src='" . $image->url."' alt='". $image->description . "' ></p> </article>"; //image doesn't work!! // If the page has children, then render navigation to them under the body. // See the _func.php for the renderNav example function. if($page->hasChildren) { $content .= renderNav($page->children); } // if the rootParent (section) page has more than 1 child, then render // section navigation in the sidebar (see _func.php for renderNavTree). if($page->rootParent->hasChildren > 1) { $sidebar = renderNavTree($page->rootParent, 3); // make any sidebar text appear after navigation $sidebar .= $page->sidebar; } So my questions : I don't like it, way too much concatenation and I'm lost between " and '. How I should do that? Why this template is not similar to main.php with a part in php and one in html? In fact, my problem is that I'm not sure how to mix them Why page->body doesn't throw all fields of the template? More specifically, what is it? I can't find it in the cheatsheet... Why basic-template.php have an open <? php but any closing bracket? Thanks!! Mélanie

Good day. Short Version: How can I redirect a template that doesn't have a .php file back to its parent? ------- Detailed Version Question: I have a a template that doesn't have a php file. The template is basically used to hold other templates. For instance, I have a php file called business-directory.php which display's all (child) businesses from the business categories template. Business Directory business-categories (2) ABC Fence Roper Cattle So, if a user goes to /home/business-directory/ it fetches and displays all children from business categories. However, if someone manually types in /home/business-directory/business-categories/ I want to redirect them back to the parent 'business-directory'. (without having to create a .php file called business-categories.php) I was looking at the template settings for 'business-categories' and came up with what you see in the photo. I basically toggled off View Pages for guests to get the URL options, saved it, then toggled back on View Pages for guest (everyone) and it still retains the URL for the redirect. This below seems to work as long as the page is not moved. I tried putting in $page->parent->url;, but got an error that this was a 'Forged Request'. Any suggestions?
