ljones Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 My second Processwire site is a complete redesign of a Wordpress site: http://thecarterbuilding.com Also using the www.getskeleton.com framework to make the site look good across phones, tablets and large and small monitors. In fact, this site was designed first and foremost for mobile viewing, as many potential clients are more likely to discover this building by walking or driving by. (If you are viewing this site on a computer you can resize your screen to see it adjust to fit the window.) It was much easier to integrate this framework in Processwire than as a Wordpress theme. Also, Processwire was much better suited for the online directory than Wordpress was. I have all of the tenants as children under the Directory page, and although they don't show, thery are there, and can be developed into an expanded detail page if needed in the future. Used Ryan's CSV plugin to pump the pages in...Very nice and a HUGE saving of time. https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ImportPagesCSV#readme Also the community is awesome. When I got stuck on my PHP coding of the directory page, several senior members had posted various solutions for me. Much thanks to Soma for rewriting my code (See: http://processwire.com/talk/index.php/topic,672.0.html) I think Processwire is the perfect solution for sites with staff directories or any other tabular data where you don't want your client to break the layout in a WYSIWYG edit window, which is very difficult to do in Wordpress. I have found some more advanced themes that make a good attempt, but the required shortcodes and backend edit-windows tend to overwhelm clients. (I have not totally ditched Wordpress for blog-centric sites.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcC Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Nice job! I enjoyed learning about the building and browsing the tenants (are you using Textile? 13a looks like a syntax issue with a Textile hyperlink). I enjoyed using the CSV module as well; it saves a lot of time, doesn't it? Always nice to see different examples of Skeleton sites, too. Thanks for sharing.

ljones Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 No, I did not use Textile; I used the default TinyMCE. I think the text in 13a was how the tenant supplied the data and it came in like that on the CSV import. Now that you point it out, it does look a little awkward, so I think I will clean that up. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
