I spent a few hours this morning making an MCP module for ProcessWire similar to Laravel Boost. I'm going to call it Octopus. In just 2-3 hours with Opus 4.5, I'm already what feels like being done with 90% of it. I'm going to finish the remaining 90% (heh) as I work on various projects to actually test it. I will have to figure out the best way on how to provide ProcessWire documentation to the MCP (hence why I'm on this thread), but even without it, Opus 4.5 is insanely good in following ProcessWire conventions, even with little context! The hype is real. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Screenshot attached.

@BrendonKoz The problem with that option in the screenshot is that while it ungroups the taskbar items, it keeps the "text" part of it, which I don't want because it's not necessary for me and I like to have a lot of windows open so I want to conserve horizontal space. Windows 10 used to have that option, but they removed it in Windows 11. That's why you have to use this Windhawk mod I mentioned in the readme: https://windhawk.net/mods/taskbar-grouping A registry setting alone won't fix it unfortunately. Come on Microsoft!

next effect: mapping of fieldnames to true columns names has also be handled by overloading getMatchQuerySort() of FieldType private function mapColumnNames($fieldName) { $subfieldMap = [ 'date_from'=>'data', 'date_to'=>'to']; $col = array_key_exists($fieldName, $subfieldMap) ? $subfieldMap[$fieldName] : $fieldName; return $col; } /** * adapts the getMatchQuery() of the parent by mapping the column names */ public function getMatchQuery($query, $table, $subfield, $operator, $value) { return parent::getMatchQuery($query, $table, $this->mapColumnNames($subfield), $operator, $value); } /** * adapts the getMatchQuerySort() of the parent by mapping the column names */ public function getMatchQuerySort(Field $field, $query, $table, $subfield, $desc) { $col = $this->mapColumnNames($subfield); // return PW internal sort query string return "_sort_{$field->name}_{$subfield}.{$col} " . ($desc ? 'DESC' : 'ASC'); } Welcome to the PW reverse engineering club - Happy hour wednesday 17-18 pm

Until we get an "official" media manger module we need to make some workarounds. Let me tell you about my personal solution for this: I am using the FileMover module from @Robin S for copying images from a global "media library" field (that is placed inside a dedicated "media library" template ) to any of my image fields. Please have look at robins comment here where he extended the functionality of his module through a hook. In this case you can open the image library page through a modal with a click from any image field. There is also a small screencast that shows this – for me this is a really good workaround. Please have a look for yourself and give it a try (and some credits to robin!).

Thanks for this @maximus - timezone DST changes are definitely an annoyance in development. I am curious though why you have a limited set of timezones available, rather than the complete set? I feel like it might be particularly problematic if you rely on a service like https://ipapi.co/ to determine the user's timezone from their IP address. Many of the timezones returned from that are not likely to match your list. I can see that the way you have organized them makes it much simpler for user selection, and maybe that is your primary goal but I still wonder about how it might impact its functionality.

@thei Glad you got it working. It should be possible to use an array for this, but I might be forgetting something about it, as I think it's been a long time since I used one for this. In any case, it's definitely better to use a WireData object (or one derived from it) because ProcessWire can track changes to the properties in the object. Whereas there's no change tracking built into an array.

I have a website where the client can set different colors via input fields on a page in the backend. I want to make use of those colors as CSS vars to use them in my stylesheets. I am doing it this way: <style> :root { --primary-color: <?=$globalSettings->bg_colorcode?>; --secondary-color: <?=$globalSettings->font_colorcode?>; --tertiary-color: <?=$globalSettings->titlefont_colorcode?>; } </style> Then I can simply "grab" those variables in my stylesheets: header { background: var(--primary-color); } I am using UIKit and LESS and this is working for me.

Hi @kongondo Happy New Year. It's been a while since anything has happened here on the subject of ‘Next’. Since there are two major projects planned for this year where I would be needed for MM, I wanted to ask what the status is? 😊

Thanks, I have resolved the layout issue now by changing: <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css"> to <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php echo $config->urls->templates; ?>css/style.css" /> and similar for plugins

Thanks, Christophe, it works like a charm!

When I try it shows the default site always.

Safari, Firefox, Chrome... But it is only one particular site that makes problems, all others are fine. I tried to switch the Ui theme but with no success

Similarly, custom page classes suffer from the same limitation. Their files can only be dumped in one directory, we have no options to organize them. I have also tried various workarounds ever since I started using ProcessWire, but none of them came even close to some sort of proper native support.

I can confirm that $image->removeVariations(["width" => 201]) works as expected. In your case with foreach ($image->getVariations() as $variation) { if ($variation->width === 201) $image->removeVariations(["width" => $variation->width]);

Happy 2026 Ryan and everyone, too! @ryan This issue is none of the above, and might be overkill for a GitHub issue, and could already be fixed in the current dev, but it exists in 3.0.251. That's a repeater with an image field, probably with a z-index issue. I did't want to update the site just to see if it's already fixed, but it would be nice if it were fixed in the next major version.

Happy 2026 everyone! 🎉 TL;DR: I made 2048 game for ProcessWire admin. Install it, ignore your inbox, get high scores. Why? Because it's January 1st and: ✅ You're probably hungover ✅ Nobody expects you to work ✅ You're definitely checking your admin anyway ✅ Why not play some 2048 while you're there? What's inside? 🎮 Classic 2048 (arrow keys or swipe) 🏆 Leaderboard (compete with your team!) 🔊 Sound effects (mutable, we know your head hurts) 📱 Works on phone (for bathroom breaks) ⚙️ Configurable grid (3x3 to 12x12 if you hate yourself) Download https://github.com/mxmsmnv/Process2048 Install Upload to /site/modules/Process2048/ Modules → Refresh → Install Setup → 2048 Start procrastinating! Screenshot: Cheers 🥂

@netcarver That is really odd. I couldn't think of how that would have happened and then I remember that I pasted "Thank you" in 11 languages (6+ years ago). Looks like the spam filter doesn't like polite conversation 😆 Thanks for jumping in and fixing!
