Fun fact about SVGs: Internet Explorer will not scale <img> SVGs properly if they don’t have the viewBox attribute. I’m not sure if it was Inkscape or the optimizer I used, but my SVGs were missing this, and I had to edit it in for IE:

width="1024" height="512" viewBox="0 0 1024 512"

Without viewBox, the image would remain 1024x512 in IE, but it won’t scale it down and clip it to the <img> tag’s dimensions instead.

I have been finishing up a scoring system for an Observed Motorcycle Trials Series.  Our first event is March 28th and will see how it works in real life.  I had some beta testers finding bugs and other unintended consequences and I think we are ready.

I had lots of help from a PW forum member and am still tweaking some features.  I had spent some time switching the templates over to a bootstrapped template but found my CSS tables I was using just didn't render well on mobile devices so I went back to the original template styles.

Waiting to start a restaurant site using PW with a online reservation system.

Hello,

In Firebug, the rule is:

body {
    background: url("images/bg.gif") repeat scroll 0 0 #e4ebee;
}
In the css file, it's different.
Wouldn't it be "better" to precise repeat-x?
Otherwise, it can also repeat itself on several lines under the footer.

I've begun working on my personal site (focusing on my obsessions, pizza & music), plus starting to build an intranet for the mental-health non-profit where I work.

The intranet will feature a knowledgebase (to be imported from MediaWiki), training materials, and will give me a chance to offer a sane alternative to the current "zillion Excel/Word docs scattered across the network" approach. I'm hoping to learn enough about XML and JSON to bring in employee info from ADP, and automate the reconciliation of a 300-page monthly Verizon bill via EDI.

Plus, we're moving from an undocumented custom-built client database to an industry-standard Electronic Health Record. Developer of the current DB can't even provide a list of content from all the dropdown fields, so I've been grabbing the list elements from Firebug and pasting into a PW text field to strip HTML. In the process it's getting me to model the current DB so we don't repeat the same mistakes in new one.

I transitioned several of my older sites to ProcessWire.

I have a multi-artist gallery website in planning. Will display paintings, drawings, sculptures from local area artists. Later will sell direct online. Materials, canvases, brushes and classes. Pretty cool. Very excited about this one!

A local comedian contracted me to build his fan page. This will be great creative fun!!!

And then I have a personal project that I have been working on (for years it seems) and PW has provided me with the tool kit to build it. It will be a multi-site. First one :)

Looks great Nico. I've been using a custom one here that matches AdminThemeReno. I've been meaning to get it out there, but yours looks great, and would likely go well with any theme. Looking forward to checking it out.

*assuming you will release it. ;)

Recently completed a bunch of ModX to PW conversions and a couple new smaller sites in PW. Some highlights:

http://www.edibleisland.ca

http://www.claddaghestates.com

http://tofinofishingclub.com

Currently working on a massive ModX to PW conversion of a Food Industry related site that has over 50,000 pages and a lot of custom functionality.

Also working on a new membership site in PW. Front-end membership functionality in PW is driving me crazy and is PW's weak spot (IMHO), but that's another topic.

Working on a smaller oil industry related site.

Lastly and more exciting is a large web app conversion I'm doing from ModX to PW. More of a complete re-write really. It's exciting to be able to leverage the power and ease of PW where before I was handcuffed by ModX when I first built the app.

And if all that wasn't enough, I'm still squeezing in the cracks smaller ModX to PW conversions.

Lots on the go!

we're currently working on a campaign website for the German wheelchair sports association, a website for a real estate investment company and one for a local castle. All to be released in the next 2 weeks. Afterwards there are several more waiting. Good times atm :)

I pushed it on GitHub in an alpha state: https://github.com/NicoKnoll/LightWire-Skin

Feel free to try it and send me PullRequests or ideas.

can't figure out how to install lightwire:

1.) Create skins folder in /site/modules/InputfieldCKEditor

2.) upload skin into folder lightwire

3.) add config.skin = 'lightwire'; in confg-body,js

but this doesn't work; any help on installing skins would be appreciated!

@Macura: Try to upload it directly into /wire/.../CKEditor (like here: http://monosnap.com/image/dETfuhFapWn79p36bIwmAsR6ANGNHc) and use the config.js to change it. Should look like this afterwards: 

/**
 * @license Copyright (c) 2003-2014, CKSource - Frederico Knabben. All rights reserved.
 * For licensing, see LICENSE.md or http://ckeditor.com/license
 */

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config ) {
	// Define changes to default configuration here. For example:
	// config.language = 'fr';
	// config.uiColor = '#AADC6E';
	 config.skin = 'lightwire';
};

And change the config.js in site/modules, too.

@Macrura: This works for me every time:

  • Install the skin into site/modules/InputfieldCKEditor/skins/lightwire
  • In config.js, use the following:
CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config ) {
    config.skin = "lightwire,/site/modules/InputfieldCKEditor/skins/lightwire/";
};

By doing this, we need not put anything into wire/modules.
