purwa Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Hi all a quick question for you (except for Ryan LOL). I know processwire from cmscritic.com
adrian Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Same here - I remember googling "best open source cms" and ending up at cmscritic.
Martijn Geerts Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 One suggested ProcessWire above MODX. Pitty I don't know which forum and which post.
SiNNuT Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I believe it was late 2010 after googling for something along the lines of 'php cms custom fields'.

Manfred62 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 the first rumours heard in a Modx forum. After Marc (mademyday) changed to PW, I tried it and... never looked back.
mr-fan Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I've get it from a german podcast: http://workingdraft.de/99/ and found some companion from the last CMS i used here and so my startingpoint is now, but i'm really impressed while testing PW!
yellowled Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I got a Skype message from Marc suggesting I check it out. We had been exchanging our evaluations of various CMS back then (this was when PW 2.1 was current, I think), so he knew what I – we both, actually – was looking for in a CMS. 1
Nico Knoll Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I've looked a lot around tested like 20 different CMS (and wrote like 20 custom CMS - that's how I learned PHP) but never found the perfect. I knew I was looking for a CMS which is modular and not as bloated as WP was (and is). Then I read a tweet from @smashingmagazine with a link to processwire back in 2011 and knew I was home after playing around with it.
Joss Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Matthew found it and then told me he would break both my legs if I did not abandon Joomla at once and start using it. 6
PhotoWebMax Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 There is increasing web and water cooler chatter about MODx and Processwire. I am a MODx guy and sort of stumbled onto this. I looked casually at the PW forum and suddenly noticed that Kongondo was over here. I really paid closer attention then as Kongondo was a very highly respected member of the MODx forum. Since then I cant help notice how many MODx refugees there are over here... 1
teppo Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Hear me out, guys! Based on extensive user surveys and after tremendous amounts of solo brainstorming (and other other proven methods, such as wearing all of the six thinking hats simultaneously) I've just come up with a new marketing strategy (and slogan) that will most definitely make us unbeatable: How's that for a slice of fried gold? .. and on a more serious note, I've also got tremendous amounts of respect for Kongondo and his work here. Never visited MODx boards and still don't know what the heck Wayfinder is, but he's done some pretty awesome stuff here too In my case it was Antti who threatened to break my legs brought ProcessWire to the company we both worked at back then. Ryan's video was my first contact with the system itself and the thing that really convinced me that Antti wasn't just delirious -- this thing actually looked great! 11
Ivan Gretsky Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I was and still am a joomla user. After trying to fix joomla with something like Seblod and reading about Drupal complexities and performance issues on shared hosting, started to look into MODx. Actually i liked it a lot (except the thing that you have to store all your templates in DB or something like that). The intro videos to MODx and documentation were quite attractive. But i never got into it too deep... I found a link to PW on AlternativeTo website, as it was something like the 4th opensource item in the list for the CMS tag. I watched Ryan's intro video and thought like "Could this really be the one?" I am still not "fully converted" to PW, but it is "the one" i wanna be "converted to". So my answer is http://alternativeto.net/tag/cms/. By the way, go there and rate PW so more of my kind could find their way.
Joss Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Hi Ivan Nice to see someone else who has been the Seblod route get here! PW is everything I think Seblod would like to be, but probably never can be. 1
marcus Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 After Marc (mademyday) changed to PW, I tried it and... never looked back. Yepp, that article was my first encounter with PW as well.
kongondo Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 <off-topic>LoL. Guys please, I'm gonna need a bigger hat soon if this carries on </off-topic>
Joss Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 <off-topic>LoL. Guys please, I'm gonna need a bigger hat soon if this carries on </off-topic> oh, I am sure we can solve that problem ...... one way or another. 3
