This looks great @psy. Going to try it out later this week.

You're absolutely right. I know where you're going with this. 😄 Is it breaking? I guess not by definition. It now requires PHP>=8.0, ProcessWire>=3.0.0. So you can't update it on older install, and it's not changing any features or API calls, so it still works with same code when you update. v2.0 would mean it has new features or breaking API changes. This is just a "maintenance" update.

https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB10014.html "...examines nonviolent...", like: Reposturing bombers within easy striking range of key Russian strategic targets... Reposturing fighters so that they are closer to their targets.. Deploying additional tactical nuclear weapons to locations in Europe and Asia Repositioning U.S. and allied ballistic missile defense systems... The United States might goad Russia into a costly arms race... Lot's of nonviolent means, for sure. And it was all published on Apr 24, 2019. It is not even a secret.

I'm using github copilot now since 6 months to do all sort of testing and playing around with various projects. It offers a lot of the different agents, but it's mainly for use with IDE like VS code. I like it a lot and am always surprized at it's capability. Claude is able to help me A LOT updating a very old big online shop to the latest PW (currently local dev only) It has access to powershell to do db stuff and it understood PW very well without much help or special skills. Tho it's great to have it specialize for PW for sure. So I can't use Claude models and some of the others with my github copilot API endpoint with AgentTools, but it allows me to use gpt-4.1 and gpt-4o for free which is cool for simple stuff like engineering and migrations. I'm testing it locally currently. I now also made an account at Antropic to use that as well in case I need it. I have a local docker environment with php, mysql and apache running in a container. Claude had to adapt the pw-at.sh script quite a bit to make it work. I have no clue about this stuff, but it's working now. Thanks very much for the AgentTools module.

Welcome back Soma, nice to have you here again, after such a long time.

Sorry for confusion Soma. I meant that post on Tuesday was my first for a long time. Everything has been running fine with my PW sites for years so I haven't been here and that's what I meant. But now I have this problem ..and others. But for now I am concentrating on solving this one I posted above on Tuesday. I'm going back to basics and trying to find out why it works on my localhost but not on the live server. A clean install of the latest PW 3.0.255 blank site profile does work on the live server. During that I saw that the SQL storage engine is innoDB by default (good thing) but my sites were always myISAM but I think you're right - it shouldn't matter when importing a d.b. The wireRenderFile undefined is strange because I can find the function in the core files on the live server so file is not missing. I will continue playing and report back any progress. Thank you Soma for your interest.

A few tweaks and a major improvement to the d() and db() calls from the Console panel - these now make use of Tracy's Lazy loading option so the DOM is not populated with huge nested objects - it gets generated dynamically as you toggle open each element with the object. This should solve the massive browser slowdown I am sure we've all experienced at times when dumping lots of large objects. This together with the change from localStorage to IndexedDB has made a huge improvement to the Console panel.

PromptWire 1.7.0 is out with 4 new MCP tools, bringing the total to 40. Latest tools are listed below. I haven't 100% fully tested a site sync yet, so always back up your existing site, database and files. pw_site_compare compares your local and remote sites across pages, schema, and template/module files. Pages are matched by URL path rather than database ID, so it works reliably across environments with different auto-increment sequences. You can exclude templates (e.g. user, role, licence pages) to focus the diff on what you actually intend to deploy. pw_site_sync (my favourite) orchestrates a full deployment in one operation: compare, back up the target, enable maintenance mode, push schema, push pages with their file/image assets, push template and module files, disable maintenance. It runs in dry-run mode by default so you see the full plan before anything is touched. Scope can be narrowed to just pages, schema, or files. pw_maintenance toggles maintenance mode on local, remote, or both sites. A styled 503 page is served to visitors with appropriate Retry-After and noindex headers. Superusers and the PromptWire API bypass it, so you can verify changes and keep the agent working during a deployment. pw_backup creates database dumps (using ProcessWire's WireDatabaseBackup) and zip archives of site/templates and site/modules. You can list, restore, or delete backups from either environment. The backup directory is auto-protected with .htaccess so SQL dumps are never web-accessible. HTTPS enforcement. The API endpoint rejects plain HTTP with a 403 before the API key is checked. PROMPTWIRE_ALLOW_HTTP in config-promptwire.php bypasses this for local dev only. Autoload change. The module is now autoloaded to intercept front-end requests during maintenance mode. The cost is a single file_exists() check per page load. Documentation updated across all pages at peterknight.digital/docs/promptwire/v1/

Thank you for this module. 🙂 TinyMCE support would be great.

Sorry, haven't tried them yet.

Hey everyone! I'd like to share Start - a module that replaces the default ProcessWire admin home screen with a configurable personal dashboard. The problem it solves As your ProcessWire install grows, the Setup menu gets long - on smaller screens it overflows and you end up scrolling just to reach the tools you use every day. Start is the fix: think of it as the Windows Start button for your PW admin. Pin exactly what you need - modules, pages, whatever - and get to it in one click from the home screen. The result Features Two view modes - list and icon grid, preference saved per-browser Visual drag-and-drop editor at /setup/start/edit/ - reorder groups and links without page reloads Font Awesome 6 icons - 1887 icons with a searchable popup picker PagePicker - browse the full page tree directly from the URL field Example button - auto-populates with your installed Process modules and their FA icons Widget on the default admin home page Access control via start-dashboard permission Fully translated editor UI — 20 languages including RTL support for Hebrew and Arabic Supported languages English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Polish, Ukrainian, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Czech, Finnish, Korean, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Hungarian. Installation Install like any other module — upload or place in /site/modules/, then install via Modules → Refresh. A Start item will appear under Setup in the admin menu. Make Start your admin home screen (optional) By default Start lives under Setup. To make it open whenever you click the admin logo or navigate to /admin/: Go to Pages in the admin menu Find the Admin page and click Edit In the Process field, select Start from the dropdown Save Links GitHub: https://github.com/mxmsmnv/Start

Hi @poljpocket and thanks for your response. I did make the backup with the same module as you suggest. The is JSON content at the end of the file as follows: # --- /WireDatabaseBackup {"numTables":140,"numCreateTables":140,"numInserts":19412,"numSeconds":1}

I tried integrating Columns, but it had issues with drag-and-drop blocks. So I released the beta version without it. The most important thing now is the stability of the beta version so we can move on to adding other features. Roadmap: Dark theme - there is a bug now, you need to change the reverse colors Localizing text in the editor so that it looks native on websites with a different language set in the admin panel Multilingual support - for example, for websites from Switzerland and Belgium, this is more relevant. Gallery (Slider) - the ability to upload multiple photos at once Textformatter support to allow connection to other text processors Columns plugin for adding column view If you know what works poorly or doesn't work at all, and would like to add something, I'd be happy to hear your suggestions!

New v5 namespaced version is released:

@poljpocket @maximus Thank you both for the detailed information. It’s exactly what I was looking for. It makes perfect sense that with PW there’s no need for regular updates. That can be a real advantage for the client, since it allows more time to be spent on improvements and smaller refinements instead. I’ll incorporate similar plans as well.

Welcome to the dedicated MediaHub community support and discussion forum. Big thanks to @ryan for setting this up. Really appreciate it! 🙏 This will be the main home for MediaHub support, discussion, feature requests, and general chat. If you have a question, spotted a bug, or simply want to share how you're using it, please post here. I hope that it'll help build up a searchable knowledge base for everyone. Other ways to get support: Private email (for anything sensitive or account-specific) GitHub issues (coming soon - dedicated repo for confirmed bugs and feature requests you'd like tracked) Looking forward to the conversations ahead. And thanks to everyone who's been testing and giving feedback so far.

I have it in a Controller file in renderSomething() method called from render(). Function or throw - doesn't matter. I moved this code to init() and even to wireframe.php. The issue is the same. The server returns a 404 code but doesn't redirect and shows an error page. I have tried this on two other sites with Wireframe. And the behaviour is different there. If i put the code in wireframe.php there, it gives me a 500 error. But in controller it works ok and shows the 404 page. Those 2 sites are not multilingual and not so heavily modified... Can you suggest a way I can debug further? I have found the issue. The template of 404 page was changed to a template that caused an infinite loop. Sorry for bothering you @teppo. But natural intellect also needs prompts and you helped me with a one)

I haven't used ProcessWire for a few years and wanted to reinstall it now... But the installation page is asking for a DB socket... I've never had to enter something like that before, there's no explanation of what it is, and ChatGPT doesn't know what I should type either... I'm using MySQL on Windows Laragon

Version 2.3.15 includes 9 new validation rules for ZIP folders and a new possibility to remove automatically added notes on certain validation rules (if needed). You will find more information about these changes in the CHANGELOG.md.

It's nice to see that there are more alternatives now. Maxon released Autograph for free too recently. Not sure how they are going to monetise though. https://www.maxon.net/en/autograph

The structure you want is actually slightly different from what Option #1 describes, but it's achievable. Option #1 assumes all sites share the same web root — the multi-site switching happens via index.config.php in that single root. Your setup (separate vhost docroots) requires a different approach. The cleanest way to do this with separate docroots: In each domain's docroot (/domaintwo/, /domainthree/, etc.) you only need: A symlink (or include-based) index.php that bootstraps from domainone's /wire A site/ directory with its own config.php, templates, modules The trick is the index.php in each secondary domain. Replace it with something like: <?php // /domaintwo/index.php $rootPath = '/var/www/html/domainone'; chdir($rootPath); require($rootPath . '/index.php'); And in each domain's site/config.php make sure $config->paths->root isn't hardcoded — ProcessWire resolves this dynamically, so it usually just works. You also need to copy (not symlink) .htaccess from domainone to each secondary docroot, since Apache serves it per-vhost. No index.config.php needed since routing is handled by vhosts at the server level — each domain already hits its own docroot. So the final structure: /domainone/wire/ ← shared core /domainone/site/ ← site 1 /domainone/index.php ← original /domainone/.htaccess /domaintwo/site/ ← site 2 (own db, templates, modules) /domaintwo/index.php ← bootstraps from domainone /domaintwo/.htaccess ← copy from domainone Each site/config.php points to its own database. Works cleanly without symlinks to /wire (which can cause issues with __DIR__ resolution in some PW internals).

AgeWire has been updated — here's what's new since the original release. Multi-framework support The module now supports four CSS frameworks. You pick whichever one your project already uses: Vanilla CSS — fully self-contained, no dependencies, no CDN required Tailwind CSS — the original experience, 13 themes and 4 animations (unchanged) Bootstrap 5 — renders using native Bootstrap card, btn, form-control and alert classes UIkit 3 — renders using native UIkit card, button and grid components Each framework has an independent CDN toggle. If you already load Bootstrap or UIkit in your templates, just uncheck it and the module won't load anything extra. Security fixes CSRF token is now validated on every verification POST Fixed a bug where ProcessWire would render the full page HTML after the JSON response, causing JSON.parse errors in the browser. The AJAX handler now calls ob_clean() before sending JSON to discard any buffered output Strict date parsing with DateTime::createFromFormat — relative strings like "tomorrow" or "-18 years" are rejected Redirect URL validated to http://, https://, or site-relative paths only Custom CSS field sanitized against </style> injection JS console.log output is now gated behind $config->debug — no noise in production Admin UI The config page is now a two-column layout. General Settings and Framework & Theme are open side by side on first load. The rest (Modal Content, Date Picker, Agreement, Exclusions) are collapsed into logical groups — much less scrolling. PHP 8.2+ The module now requires PHP 8.2 and uses typed return types, match expressions, str_contains, str_starts_with, and unnamed catches throughout.

@LexSanchez Thanks for sharing, but please follow the "The forum language is English. We really appreciate the effort everyone makes from countries around the world to post in English. After careful consideration and experience on other forums, it makes sense to have one common language for discussion here so that ideas can be shared and not missed in language-specific forums - the same applies for debates that might get out of hand as we do not want to miss those either."

I've ran into the exact same issue, and couldn't find a satisfying solution. I would be interested also to learn if anyone has found a way around this limitation.
