thomassausen Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Just for training I rebuild my old portfolio-site with ProcessWire. I moved the site from ExpressionEngine to ProcessWire and it was pretty straigthforward: http://2011.thomassausendesign.de/ Ok, it was not a great or difficult site, but my first try.

Joss Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi Thomassausen That is a great way to start - and a nice clean site, by the way. I am just doing a similar exercise on my own portfolio site .... though I keep getting distracted playing with functionality that the site will never use!

thomassausen Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 At first I wanted to rebuild http://2012.thomassausendesign.de/ but I had big problems with the slider. In EE I could build the slider with some options, take a look at the EE-admin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewSchenker Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Greetings Thomas, Very nice new portfolio site! As Joss said, very fresh and clean. Also, clear and attractive palette choices. What kind of trouble were you having with the slider? Thanks, Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomassausen Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Look at the screenshot, I created lots of options in the backend to make this slider working. So in EE I have one slider-channel with these custom fields and options (screenshot). Each slide is an entry within the channel. I used this plugin http://pixelandtonic.com/matrix to create unlimited number of static fields. Just click on plus and there you have a new row. Each row is a layer of the slide.

apeisa Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 That should be easily doable with repeater. Or using pages as slider items and just choosing active ones using page field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diogo Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 You could do the same thing in PW with repeater fields, but IMO the values that you have on these fields should be decided once in the design process and kept in the code. What's the point of sacrificing your website performance by having all this info in the database? @apeisa, same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The ProcessWire equivalent would be repeater fields: http://processwire.com/videos/repeater-field-type/ And you could easily set field widths to have a layout similar or indeed slightly better than that interface But yes, what diogo said about coding it without storing settings in the database is also very relevant. EDIT: Stop replying so fast you guys, I'm having a slow day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Kiss Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Oh you guys! In case you didn't know Thomas, ProcessWire has this repeater field… oh, well Good work, good selection for first site, and until you are all like 'pretty straightforward', it's going good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
