Build great stuff with ProcessWire in five simple steps

Create a blog system with ProcessWire

Here we go again. Five simple steps to do this with ProcessWire. Download and install ProcessWire. Th$e->  

Create the fields you want for a blog entry. Example: Make a title(default), a body and an images field. 

Add those fields to a new template called entry. In the /site/templates/entry.php file output your HTML for the fields.

Make another template, called entries for example. You don't need any fields here.

Add (or customize) the following code into the template file for entries.php . This will output all pages with "entry" as a template and link to the full blog post.

<? foreach($pages->find('template=entry') as $e) { echo '<a href="{$e->url}">{$e->title}</a><br>';}

Create a page with the entries template, calling it "blog". Write your entries by creating new pages with the entry template.

Done. This is just a basic example. You can extend this further with headlines, preview text for the entries and thumbnails.

Making a multi-language website

Download and install ProcessWire. Then:

Install the modules you find under the Modules-> Core -> "Language" category. 

Go To Setup->Languages and add new languages. Please note, that the default one is also the default language of your site.

For every field type Text or TextArea change the Type to TextAreaLanguage or TextLanguage. (e.G. body with TextArea becomes body with textAreaLanguage). You fields should now see multiple tabs for each language, if you edit a page.

Go to the root page (/) and look under "Settings". Setup an URL for every language, e.g. en,de,ru,... . Example: http://take.ms/34Tq5

Create pages and fill in the content. You can build a front end language switch as described in Ryans API Language page.

Maybe we can make a website, with 5-step ProcessWire Tutorials.
