PhotoWebMax Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I need to chat less and read more... I have spent some time touring through the forums. The conversations go deeper than I first thought. I bet there must be a treasure trove of great info buried in the forums. So, I am betting many of you must have a mental list (or memory) of the top forum threads that inspired learning? If I so I love to see your list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmgujju Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 For Custom Front-End Login System: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/1716-integrating-a-member-visitor-login-form/ I still go there to revisit code whenever I am working on custom login. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongondo Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I could also post all my PW bookmarks but that would probably break the forums! So, I leave you with my all time favourite treasure trove (OK, so they are not part of the forums but everything hinges on this) The PW API docs: http://processwire.com/api/ (especially $page, $pages, selectors and the cheatsheet)... Sorry if I am repeating myself! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
einsteinsboi Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Oh wow, where to start?? I started bookmarking threads and then I gave up very quickly because the whole forum is a treasure trove Like Kongondo, my one bookmarked and favorite page that I return to again and again is http://processwire.com/api/ I also spend a lot of time in the FAQs, API & Templates, and the Modules/Plugins sections of the forum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I think probably the most important tip is to use google site search to search the forum, rather than the inbuilt IP.Board search which is often not great at all. site:processwire.com/talk "your search term" Obviously the quotes are always needed, but are a great idea when trying to search for an error message you might be getting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martijn Geerts Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Up to a few moths ago I read all forum posts, but lately I can't keep up. 3 reasons for this: 1) Not much spare time, but the most important 2) ProcessWire has a growing community, ways more posts then a year ago. 3) lot's of things to checkout like new modules. @einsteinsboi has it right that he points to the /api/, and look at @adrians posts, search the forum with google. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwired Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hi There is also an api cheatsheet: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/3757-cheatsheet-e-book-for-offline-use/Made by Somahttp://cheatsheet.processwire.com/Converted to pdf by Vineet Sawanthttps://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/86357215/Cheatsheet_1.1_v0.3.pdfConverted to docx by k07nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/fyt2z72vkwdm358/Cheatsheet.docx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horst Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I cannot tell what threads or posts I best like, it would end up in a list greater than 20 or more. But I can share a little trick I use to quickly find some of them via google: site:processwire.com/talk (one or more names of users that took part of the conversation) AND ("wordphrase that was in a post there, at best a long one", but need to exact!) OR (a very individual word, if there was any) OR (common keywords) So when I need to know how to setup an apache server for best caching / compression I search for buttock (top, not buttock!) with or without willyc: search->buttock Yesterday gebeer needs to know from where a page->render() function was called. My remembered keyword was "caller", and I know that it isn't talked very often about that: search->caller A search for younger + foxes do result in a single thread, where as the terms old + foxes is a little bit more common 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Knoll Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 A great thing would be a processwire subpage in the style of github gists to save helpful code snippets (simple gallery navigation, reset admin password, ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soma Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Too complicated You don't need to enter site:processwire.com/talk "keyword" in google search. I always just enter the search right in the browser adressbar like: processwire.com soma is best works in all browsers and I use it since many years.

diogo Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 so "processwire.com soma is best" is simpler than "pw diogo is best"? hm... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongondo Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 @Horst, I use a similar approach in Google. If I remember some keywords from the post, I add them to the query including the names of people I knew commented... I use the omni bar if I know I have bookmarked something - shows my bookmarks... or use the extension searchmarks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martijn Geerts Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 search: "site:processwire.com/talk/ soma or diogo" result: "Mixed Joss with Soma - ProcessWire" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soma Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 @digo, I wasn't responding to yours, which I haven't really recognized at that time. EDIT: after all it doesn't really matter for me, I only enter "p" and the autocomplete does it's job since processwire.com is most visited.

einsteinsboi Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 uuuuhh... ooopss, silly me I didn't realize it... (but I knew) There's something suspicious with that name.... Sorry bout that @einsteinsboi. No worries Martijn, doesn't bother me. I know my username is a bit misleading (and/or suspicious ), but I've been using it too long all over the web so I'm used to being mistaken for a 'he'. I suppose it's better than being mistaken for an 'it' When searching the web for processwire stuff I just type 'processwire' and then whatever I'm looking for, that way I get results from both the processwire site and other places where people may have posted questions or answers or posts, e.g. Quora, etc. I find that more effective than just using the "site:" trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
