🤯 this might actually be the solution to everything wrong in my modules. I am not sure if I already read about it here somewhere but couldn't find it when looking up module theming/styling. I will give this a try. Might have to try a few variations as most projects, even new ones, still use the old styling.

I solved this warning (PHP 8.4, ProcessWire 3.0.255, MarkupSimpleNavigation 1.3.7😞 Warning: Undefined array key 1 in /homepages/site/assets/cache/FileCompiler/site/modules/MarkupSimpleNavigation/MarkupSimpleNavigation.module on line 313 With this change in MarkupSimpleNavigation.module on line 312 - 316: if($this->iteration == 1) { $out .= "\n" . ($this->outer_tpl[1] ?? ''); } else if(count($children)) { $out .= "\n" . ($this->inner_tpl[1] ?? '') . "\n"; }

In case it is of interest to someone: https://www.youtube.com/@IBMTechnology I viewed one of the videos presented by Martin Keen the other day and thus discovered this channel. There seems to be a lot of good videos about different aspects of AI and other subjects. I haven't started yet with AI, I'm just slowly trying to understand how things work. As soon as I can I'll try to use it locally. In reality the first (specialized and local) one(s) I'll probably/perhaps try will be while using DaVinci Resolve Studio. For the moment the only one I've started using a few times is Leo on the Brave Browser (On another subject, I just discovered yesterday by accident while using the mouse that it is possible to split the view with (only) 2 visible tabs, unlike with Vivaldi where there are more options. I hadn't even searched if it was possible. And I've just discovered it is now possible with Firefox, but also only with 2 tabs.). I had found about Aider a few weeks or months ago, it seemed really interesting.

I’ve just uploaded a new version of NativeAnalytics 1.0.20. This update mainly focuses on monthly reporting, privacy options, engagement tracking improvements and some smaller admin UI refinements. Added / improved Added optional monthly email reports Added Send test report now option in module settings Added report preview before sending Added optional PDF report attachment Improved page-level analytics summary inside Page Edit Added a setting to show/hide the Page Edit analytics summary Improved spacing and styling of the Page Edit analytics block Improved engagement event tracking, especially form submit tracking Added better cache-busting for updated tracker/admin assets Added module info files so the ProcessWire modules directory and Upgrade module can detect the version correctly Added support links to the module info array The module should now also be upgradeable through the ProcessWire Upgrade module once the modules directory has refreshed the latest version. The current version is 1.0.20. Special thanks to matjazp for testing the module and reporting useful issues along the way. The feedback helped a lot with polishing the module and making it more reliable in real-world use. P

Sorry for late reply. Is this something new, did you upgrade the module or is this new install? AIOM doesn't inject admin bar, I guess it should be there, if you have permission to use it (I don't know the module). Is it better if you don't use html minify option? Empty cache just remove css/js files so they are regenerated next time. Will take a look when I have more time.

That's why GitHub Issues exist. 😄

I recently started to use more desktop apps, in this case OpenCode Desktop, which is quite similar to OpenAI Codex and the Claude Desktop app, but actually available for Linux. One great feature is Git worktrees support. They just work with NextJS, AstroJS, HonoJS but not with ProcessWire in my DDEV setup. I'm not sure if anyone else already found a great solution or maybe even built a module, script or anything like that (and I couldn't find anything) to support Git worktrees in DDEV environments with almost no manual intervention, so... I asked my agent to help me. I just pushed the inital/experimental version to Github. I tested it quite a bit with two projects locally in my setup and it works on my machine. https://github.com/webmanufaktur/processwire-ddev-worktree This is more like a proof-of-concept than a stable release. In case you want to test it, maybe don't. Or at least not with important projects. There might be plenty of edge-cases it won't handle right now or even break things on your machine. But it just solved a pretty big problem (for me) I ran into today. Look into it, feel free to fork it or send a PR.

Thanks for the kind words! I have a month's worth of modules, not as big as Collections, Ichiban, or Context, but very useful. Usually, when I run into a problem, I try to solve it right away using a module so that other users can use it in the future.

Another findRaw() deprecation which will throw an exception from these new core updates. If you try to do "image.filename" or any other image subfield, you'll get: ProcessWire\\WireException: Unknown column name(s) for findRaw: image.filename Just use "image" and it will work.

I’ve been using `TextformatterVideoEmbed` for YouTube/Vimeo embeds and made a small local patch that seems generally useful for generated iframe output. The change adds two attributes to generated iframe embeds when they are not already present: ```html loading="lazy" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" ``` This is independent of any consent/privacy module. It simply improves the default iframe markup produced by `TextformatterVideoEmbed`. The intended behavior is: - add `loading="lazy"` to iframe embeds by default - add `referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"` by default - do not override either attribute if it already exists in the iframe markup - keep existing embed behavior unchanged otherwise Example implementation pattern: ```php if(stripos($embedCode, ' loading=') === false) { $embedCode = preg_replace('/<iframe\b/i', '<iframe loading="lazy"', $embedCode, 1); } if(stripos($embedCode, ' referrerpolicy=') === false) { $embedCode = preg_replace('/<iframe\b/i', '<iframe referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"', $embedCode, 1); } ``` Reasoning: - Native iframe lazy loading is now widely supported and helps avoid loading off-screen video embeds unnecessarily. - `strict-origin-when-cross-origin` is also the modern browser default in many contexts, but making it explicit gives generated third-party embeds a safer baseline. - The change is low risk because it only applies to iframe markup and skips attributes already present. Would this be suitable as a small PR to the module? If preferred, it could also be exposed as module config options rather than hardcoded defaults.

Hello everyone, We're slowly working through our site and moving things into modules for antarctica.gov.au, in the process we hope to open source some handy things we've built over the years. As we operate in Microsoft heavy corporate environment, we've noticed more and more strange looking links getting pasted into our site. These are Microsoft protected links and are a 'intercept' link that attempts to check the link is legit before letting the user proceed to the original URL. These links get automatically made when a user copies a link from Outlook/Teams/Office. The issue is, these links leak data in the URL parameters, including the email address of who has copied the link! Hence, we wrote two companion modules to find and format these links. First is TextformatterMicrosoftProtectedLinks which formats the links at render time. Second is FormatMicrosoftProtectedLinks which replaces the link with the original URL when saving the page. We provided both modules as it depends on your preference. Some people like to leave the page content as the original (including the protected link), others like to replace this. Let us know if you notice any issues using these modules.

There is a panel on tracy to see all the database queries executed, maybe something there?

Dear @Nomak, your project sounds straightforward and well-prepared. Since you already have a fully completed design and will handle the backend yourself, I can focus entirely on delivering clean, responsive, and high-performance frontend code. Here is why I am a great fit for this project: Location & Legal: I am based in the EU (Germany) and will provide a valid EU VAT ID for proper, hassle-free invoicing. Experience & Modern Tech Stack: I have been working in web development since 1995, meaning I understand the core of the web inside out. However, I always stay on the cutting edge. For modern, responsive, and maintainable styles, I highly leverage Tailwind CSS, alongside clean HTML and robust JavaScript. Efficiency through AI: I actively integrate modern AI tools into my workflow, which allows me to speed up the development process, optimize code efficiency, and deliver high-quality results faster. Responsive Execution: Ensuring a seamless experience across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices is standard practice in my work. You can convince yourself of the quality of my work by taking a look at my portfolio: 👉 dotnetic.de/referenzen I would love to realize this project with you. Let’s connect to discuss the details and the design template. Best regards, Jens

How much RAM does your new M5 Mac have? Hopefully you got 96 or 128GB if you're looking to run local LLMs. A lot is happening in this space; see DwarfStar 4: https://github.com/antirez/ds4

Yes, I have a day job, and it's not programming. I work on it mostly in the evenings after work.

Fantastic. Thank you.

Hi everyone SEO NEO is ready if anyone is available for early testing. I have been testing on a fictional purpose-built site to stress-test multilingual content, URL segments and a heap more. If you'd like to try it on your next real PW build, please DM me, and then we'll work quickly towards the general release and availability via PW modules and GitHub. Cheers, and have a great weekend 🙂 P

Hey Brendon This took me back. When I first started freelancing, I distinctly remember a period where I felt the same. It was impossible to keep up, know everything, have time to stay current and be in a relationship. And for a brief while, I was trying my best to do all those things. Two revelations really helped me relax and enjoy life and stop stressing. 1. A friend reminded me that my relationships were more important than my work 2. I realised the most important challenge is knowing what I don't need to know So, to clarify number 2, it was a case of switching from: I need to know Adobe Flash, Actionscript 1, HTML and CSS, PHP (3), JS, Dreamweaver etc etc etc to I don't need to be an expert in all these fields. I just need to know how to solve the client projects in front of me. If I don't know something at the time, I'll learn, buy a book or suggest an alternative. So I hope that helps. I notice you're looking for a system to cram it all in, but the thing that actually helped me was accepting I couldn't (and didn't need to). So don't sweat. It's funny because lately I had to remind myself of my 2000 AD self. I began to feel with AI and AI Development that there's no way I can keep up. I've been bookmarking 50 pages a day (but reading none) and can occasionally feel burnout approaching. So I'm going to relearn to calm down a bit, because that girlfriend from 25 years ago is now my wife, I have a good freelance business, and the most important things are relationships, health and peace of mind. Everything else is a bonus and worth chasing, but not at the expense of the fundamentals. Also, you mention your friend's life, but you're measuring yourself against someone you're painting as superhuman. That could easily be a confidence and happiness killer right there, and unlikely to be helpful.

Many thanks @Ivan Gretsky.

Can you provide more info? You edit some css file and want to insert "overflow:hidden" and then happens what?

Thank you for your reply. That puts my mind at rest, I'll just sync the times in my local config.php as you suggest.

Hi everyone, Every site I've launched eventually had a database incident — corrupted table, failed migration, bad deploy. Having a reliable backup system that runs automatically and stores offsite is non-negotiable. This module is what I use in production. GitHub: https://github.com/mxmsmnv/ProcessDbBackup What it does: Three independent backup types — Regular, Weekly, Monthly — each with its own LazyCron schedule and retention count Admin home widget — shows status (🟢 OK / 🟡 Outdated / 🔴 No backups) per type with "Create now" buttons Backblaze B2 upload — optional offsite storage after every backup, keep or delete local copy Chunked upload — upload .sql.gz from your computer in 2MB chunks, bypasses upload_max_filesize entirely Streaming restore — reads .gz line-by-line, flat memory usage regardless of dump size Partial restore — select individual tables from a backup Pre-restore auto-backup — safety backup of current DB before any restore Backup integrity verification — gzip check + SQL structure validation Lock file — prevents concurrent backup processes Exclude tables — skip cache, sessions etc. from all backups Storage protected with .htaccess deny-all Backup methods: mysqldump (preferred, InnoDB-safe hot backup) with PHP PDO fallback. Restore via mysql CLI with PHP PDO streaming fallback. Requirements: ProcessWire 3.0+, PHP 8.0+, zlib, PDO. mysqldump/mysql CLI optional but recommended for large databases. MIT License.

Hmm, not the best solution. 😅 I've tried it about 30 times already today.

Those "top bar features" are welcome, and so are the "library and inputfield" additions/changes. Thanks @Peter Knight!
