Processwire Ghost Blog Clone

[clsource]

Hello, 

I made this clone of the Ghost Blog System (http://ghost.org)

for demo of the Wire Render Pattern as well as a multi language site and menu system.

https://github.com/NinjasCL/pw-ghost

As always MIT licence.

Thanks a lot for sharing! I will definitely take a closer look at it as soon as I have the time.

Very interesting template setup with all the params and helpers, @clsource! 

[clsource]

Now you can see a fully functional website using this profile

http://ninjas.cl

@clsource I have installed the profile, however, I ran into two issues:

Quote

Notice: Undefined variable: canonical in /Users/guru/Documents/MAMP/playground/pwclone_loc/site/templates/views/default_view.php on line 4
MENU

And most importantly: the home page is the only one that works, otherwise I get "Not Found The requested URL /[ANY-PAGE-REQUESTED]/ was not found on this server." errors.

Why? Thanks in advance!

[clsource]

See if the htaccess is active.

normally Processwire installer transforms htaccess.txt to .htaccess

About that line 

if (!$canonical) {
    $canonical = wire('page')->httpUrl;
}

maybe I should change to isset or not null?

Morning,

I shouldn't have installed anything right before going to bed  – Of course, it was the missing .htaccess file which I renamed to .htaccess.txt, so I managed to only prefix it with the dot... no comment

About the !$canonical issue, I changed it to isset just to make sure I do not get any php error reporting, but to tell the truth I have not yet taken a look at the code at al. I will do so in the following days, because I'm interested in your Wire Render Pattern.

BTW, one more issue to solve: are you sure that ghost/ghost.writer123 should let me in? It does not work, login fails.

[clsource]

Odd.

Well you can always change the admin password

$u = $users->get('ghost');
$u->of(false); 
$u->pass = 'your-new-password';
$u->save();

put that in the _init.php or another place. (later remove it when its done  )

[szabesz]

Thanks for your help! It was another error I made. It was the value of $config->userAuthSalt that I did not copy over from your config.php.

[szabesz]

@clsource It's me again  You might want to add a "Cover image" to the About page too, otherwise we get "...Trying to get property of non-object in..." notices. It might even be good thing to first test if an image is uploaded or not, but this might be overkill since – in the case of a real site –, no one should forget to upload an image which is an integral part of the overall design.

I think it should be :

if (!isset($canonical)) {
    $canonical = wire('page')->httpUrl;
}

You intention was to use wire('page')->httpUrl when canonical is not set/defined, right? The only page where it is set is the Author's (author.php). If I'm not mistaken...

[szabesz]

Actually, I've found that the Author's page (such as /authors/lewis.carroll etc...) also generates varous Notices because of the "missing cover image" and also because of if(!$title), if (!$description) and others.

 

[clsource]

I should check those.

What version of php are you using?
What is your config for error reporting?

Thanks

[szabesz]

I use PHP 5.6.10. I always set E_ALL in a development/testing environment (this is the case right now) so that I can tackle anything that is being reported

[clsource]

I was using PHP 7.x
maybe thats why I didn't see those errors.

I'll check with 5.6.

[clsource]

I hope now it does not shows any more warnings

Please get the latests changes in the github repo 

thanks

[szabesz]

No sign of any warning/notice anymore. Thanks a lot! I will probably turn this profile into a Foundation 6 based "base profile" of mine, in order to jump start my future projects.

[szabesz]

@clsource I found that namespace Processwire; is missing form _main.php which can lead to Fatal Error when the compilation setting of a template is set to either Yes (template file only) or No (disabled compiler).

[clsource]

Fixed. Thanks

The thing I love about my Ghost blogs is the writing UI: Write Markdown on the left, and it appears fully rendered on the right. It also has the coolest while-you-write image upload utility I've ever seen.

That's not covered by pw-ghost, right?

Not having Ghost's writing UI isn't a deal-breaker, and I can't wait to try this out. If I could replace my Ghost blogs with a ProcessWire equivalent, I'd love to forgo the chore of maintaining a Node server!

Sure, it's a gfx only design clone to demonstrate @clsource's Wire Render Pattern:

There's a (node-based) clone of just the editor, so it could be created/added: https://github.com/durgesh-priyaranjan/ghosditor But one would need to strip out all the express(?) parts of it and replace it with php/pw code.

Gee, this part sounds familiar

[LostKobrakai]

 This does also have a side-by-side view (at-least in fullscreen mode). I think it's even configurable.

[Macrura]

yes, it works on default theme (needs some CSS adoration on Reno)
