Hi, I'm facing the issue where a customer has only 1GB of RAM on its server available (and doesn't want to upgrade). They have a few large files (videos) that they want on the website but when uploading via the processwire backend the progress bar gets stock after some time (assuming because it ran out of RAM). I see that files are saved to site/assets/files/1048 and 1048 being the page id. I tried uploading the files via ftp (to avoid the shortage of RAM) to the same folder but the images don't appear in the files field. I'm assuming the files field is just an array with the file names that are then searched in site/assets/files/1048 . Is there a way where I can have the field look for other files in that folder and have it automatically added to the array so it appears in the files field of the page? My attempt didn't work and I didn't quite understand why: $directory = "../../files/1048"; // files uploaded here via ftp $page->of(false); foreach (scandir($directory) as $file) { //go through all files if ($file !== '.' && $file !== '..') { echo $file; $page->file->add($file); } } $page->save(); $page->of(true);

I have used Cyberduck for a lot of time, and well, it does the job. Keeps my bookmarks, easy to use and allows a custom text editor. But I am always looking for tools to make my workflow faster and painless. Do you guy have a recommendation to change to another client? Maybe due to featurewise benefits? For example, the file sync in Transmit looks promising. Forklift also looks promising. Anyone working with these? Note: I have tried sync with Cyberduck, but for some reason, I can't never get it to work correctly, or as I expected, one time I even replaced my whole folder with empty files. (I probably did something wrong myself, I know)

Hello, So I'm working on a PW project in a shared hosting like Hostgator. For this to work you need ssh access, and of course git. I always have problems working with FTP, I feel my productivity decreases when using them, also you have no control over changes that are made. So a single file deletion could cause a big catastrophe. The first thing you have to do is cloning the PW repo, and checkout to dev branch Here we clone the repo, use the dev branch. Delete the entire PW git directory and initialize a new one $ git clone https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/ $ cd ProcessWire $ git checkout dev $ rm -rf .git $ rm .gitignore $ git init $ git add . $ git commit -m "Initial Commit" Note: The file .gitignore from the dev branch have some files that you want to be commited, like /sites. I recommend deleting that file and create a new one. Ok, now we need to configure our remote repo inside the shared hosting. You need to login using a terminal. Linux and Mac have ssh already installed, if you are in Windows you can use Putty. ssh username@domain.com -p 2222 ... Enter your password: ********* Now we need to authorize our computer in the hosting, so we can push the commits. We need the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub located our computer. A more complete guide for generating such keys is available here. Then we will copy the contents to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. create the authorized_keys in the hosting if not exists using touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys The next step is creating a new repo and configure some hooks in our server. $ mkdir www/processwire $ cd www/processwire $ git init $ git config receive.denyCurrentBranch ignore $ cd .git $ cd hooks $ touch post-receive The contents of post-receive hook should be. (this is a ruby script, but could be any language available on the server) #!/usr/bin/env ruby # post-receive # 1. Read STDIN (Format: "from_commit to_commit branch_name") from, to, branch = ARGF.read.split " " # 2. Only deploy if master branch was pushed if (branch =~ /master$/) == nil puts "Received branch #{branch}, not deploying." exit end # 3. Copy files to deploy directory deploy_to_dir = File.expand_path('../') `GIT_WORK_TREE="#{deploy_to_dir}" git checkout -f master` puts "DEPLOY: master(#{to}) copied to '#{deploy_to_dir}'" # 4.TODO: Deployment Tasks # i.e.: Run Puppet Apply, Restart Daemons, etc Now we make it executable using chmod $ chmod +x post-receive With all that done, we should enable a passwordless login so we can push without a password prompt on every push. In our local machine look for this file ~/.ssh/config And add this text (Change your-domain.com and port as needed) Host your-domain.com Port 2222 PreferredAuthentications publickey Now we should go to our project directory and add the remote host with $ git remote add hosting user@domain.com:www/processwire $ git push --set-upstream hosting master This should do the trick for commiting changes and upload files without ftp. Now we must install Processwire and then pull the changes. Go to your domain and start PW setup. once you are ready installing processwire, you need to pull changes that PW installer made. Login to your hosting via ssh and commit the changes that installer made. $ ssh user@domain.com $ cd www/processwire $ git rm $(git ls-files --deleted) $ git add . -f $ git commit -m "Initial PW Setup" When that is ready go back to your local machine and pull the repo. $ cd Processwire $ git fetch $ git reset --hard hosting/master Now we are finally ready to start working with PW in shared hosts or other machines that have ssh enabled. simply makes changes like $ touch site/templates/welcome.php $ git add . $ git commit -m "Added welcome.php" $ git push Now if you have some problems you can zip the setup using $ git tag -a v0.0.1 -m "Initial PW Setup" $ git archive --format=zip --output=pw.zip v0.0.1 And download the file and work from there Thats all References: http://www.arlocarreon.com/blog/git/push-git-repo-into-shared-hosting-account-like-hostgator/ http://ahmadassaf.com/blog/miscellaneous/how-to-use-git-to-host-and-push-projects-on-shared-hosting-services/ http://motorscript.com/setting-up-a-remote-git-repo-on-shared-server-like-hostgator/ http://krisjordan.com/essays/setting-up-push-to-deploy-with-git http://git-scm.com/book/en/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks
