Hello Processwire-Community, i just wanted to greet you because i think its a better way to introduce myself. I didnt found a better Thread to do this, so i think im not wrong to post this here. If i missed the specific Thread, then dont mind moving my ass there. First of all, im German. Im 19 years old, very young and i have no idea how i found processwire. Maybe its because other CMS-Systems seems a little bit too packed for creating my stuff. If i wanna program something, i want to know why i writed this and where my mistakes are. Only then i can improve in this matter. So, with this in mind, i picked Pw, because most user say it gives a wide freedom to do stuff you wanna do. I already started with my project, but there re some questions rolling in my head, so i wanna ask them here. If you have knowledge about it, i would appreciate it if you could give me an answer. If not, post some random bbcode-spam under this thread and think of something joyful . 1. Processwire gives the option to create pages and so on. Its useful, yes, but what if i wanna display only the content of a .php-file over the URL and place it in my template? So that i dont need to write my whole template for every .php-file that i include? 2. And while we are at it: how does the parent- and child-system work with the URL? If i, say, make an "foreach" for every link i have posted in a database-table called "navigation_links" and now get the ROOT-path + this link, how can i tell processwire to accept it? If use use it like this: and try to use it, it says to me "404 not found", but i just navigate it to the .php file i have created in my folder. 3. @ryan: i have read your post about the login-example here: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/107-custom-login/ . if i wanna use this as an external .php-file, it works. But i wanna use it as an component on my site. For this, there is a little problem: First of all, if i click on the Login-button, it does nothing. The Page stays where it is and doesnt redirect me to a page called "login_successful.php". Second, if i watch in the database the session_throttle, it lets me stay in the attempts and the date. So the Informations didnt get transmitted. Here is the Code, i would appreciate it if you could give me help with this. Maybe im missing something. Please remember im just testing the functions. I will change it until i have my results.: /templates/login.php (Makes decisions if a User is LoggedIn or not and includes the file i need) <?php if($user->isLoggedin()) { include("loggedin_form.php"); } else { include("login_form.php"); } ?> /templates/login_form.php (Gives a Form to write username and password and transmit it) <!-- This Form gives an login-form to login or register to the site--> <?php if($input->post->user && $input->post->pass) { $user = $sanitizer->username($input->post->user); $pass = $input->post->pass; if($session->login($user, $pass)) { $session->redirect("login_successful.php"); } else { $session->redirect("login_unsuccessful.php"); } } ?> <div id="login_form"> <?php if($input->post->user) echo "<h2 class='error'>Login failed</h2>"; ?> <form action='./' method='post'></form> <input type='text' value="Username" name='user' /> <input type='password' value="password" name='pass' /> <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Login' /></p> </div> Register will follow later, i will use another table for that. 4. If i wanna use an function-library, which folder-structure is identical to my components-folder and wanna limit every component i have in it to the "function" folder and dont allow other functions to work unless i say it in an "func_global.php", how can i do that? Over URL? Or do i need to make an attempt for everytime i call my component to search in the function-folder for a folder with the same name as the folder my .php file is placed in? This seems a little bit too much coding, so if someone has a better idea, please dont mind posting it here. I would appreciate it. This seems enough for the start. Sorry for my bad english, i still need to learn stuff. But its better to ask than never know it. With Greetings, JamesHemmingworth
