TemplateFieldWidths by Robin S

Quickly set the widths of inputfields in a template.

Adds a "Field widths" field to Edit Template that allows you to quickly set the widths and "required" state of inputfields in the template.

The module also adds a similar field to the settings of Edit Field for Repeater, FieldsetPage and Repeater Matrix allowing you to quickly set the widths and required state of inputfields within the Repeater/FieldsetPage field, or within each Repeater Matrix type.

Note: widths/required are only saved if the edit form is submitted with the "Field widths" field in an open (non-collapsed) state.

Since v0.3.0 you can toggle the required state by clicking the asterisk icon.

When setting up a new template/repeater or trying out different field layouts I find it a bit slow and tedious to have to open each field individually in a modal just to set the width or required state. This module speeds up the process.


  • You can set the default presentation of the "Field widths" field to collapsed or open.
    • Widths entered into the "Field widths" field are only applied if the edit form is submitted with the field in an open (non-collapsed) state.
    • "Collapsed" is the recommended setting if you think you might also use core inputs for setting field widths in a template context.
  • You can choose Name or Label as the primary identifier shown for the field. The unchosen alternative will become the title attribute shown on hover.
  • You can choose to show the original field width next to the template context field width.

Install and use modules at your own risk. Always have a site and database backup before installing new modules.

“We chose ProcessWire because of its excellent architecture, modular extensibility and the internal API. The CMS offers the necessary flexibility and performance for such a complex website like superbude.de. ProcessWire offers options that are only available for larger systems, such as Drupal, and allows a much slimmer development process.” —xport communication GmbH
