Hi all, a small confession from the frameless corner of the PW universe: in the last 15 years we've spent way too many evenings doing the same FTP-shuffle on shared hosting. Delete everything in site/, drop the DB via phpMyAdmin, re-upload, run install.php, log back in, find out the bug we were chasing only reproduces after a reset, sigh, repeat. The reason we do this on real hosting at all is that the gnarly bugs in modules-under-development never show up locally — AllowOverride, mixed file ownership, mod_security, you know the drill. But "let's test cleanly on the real server" and "no SSH access" don't combine well. So we built ProcessWireReset: a module that wipes a PW install back to clean profile state from inside the admin. No SSH, no FTP, no phpMyAdmin. Click the button, log back in, you're at a freshly installed PW with your superuser intact and any modules you marked as keep re-installed automatically. A few things worth knowing, since destructive modules deserve some care: Modules to keep + Directories to keep. Two fields in the config: one picks which modules survive (transitive dependencies included), the other is a free-form list of paths under site/ that should be spared by the cleanup — handy for things like templates/RockIcons or assets/backups that live outside the module directories. Custom tables go into a snapshot. After the reset you can pick which module-specific tables to restore. Auto-restoring everything turned out to fight with re-installed schemas more often than we liked. The reset can crash mid-way — a kept module's install() can fatal in surprising ways. The confirmation modal hands you a one-time recovery URL with a 256-bit token. If the worst happens, that URL gives you a clean reinstall with your original credentials. Belt, braces, and one extra strap. It's interactive only. No cron triggers, no CI hooks. The destructive button has a real human in front of it, on purpose. Pairs nicely with GitSync: If you're already using our GitSync module, ProcessWireReset is the missing other half. GitSync pulls a fresh module version from your GitHub repo into the live install at the click of a button — but it doesn't touch the DB or re-run install(). After a GitSync pull that changed schemas, fields, or admin pages, the previous install state and the new code drift apart. Hit Reset, the module is removed and re-installed cleanly from the freshly pulled code, and you're testing what you actually shipped instead of a frankenstein of old DB state and new files. That GitSync → Reset → test loop is what we use daily on shared-hosting test installs where SSH isn't an option.

Treat it accordingly. Curious to hear what you build/break with it. Bug reports and pull requests welcome. Cheers, Mike

if you are dealing with something mission critical I would probably avoid getting AI involved in live running copies of the site. Personally I'm comfortable with using it in my projects, but for your situation I would wait awhile, as this is all very new and somewhat experimental.

I will most definitely be watching this progress. Thank you!

That answers my question perfectly fine. You understood me here.

I might repeat myself here but: 🤯 The idea and concept of collections in addition to the interface. That's a great one!

I feel that! But it became way better than it was a few years back when the world was going nuts. The things I changed in the last 12-18 months: getting all the regular vitamins and supplements for someone my age getting additional supplements that help my brain to keep working checking in on gut health and eating less/none heavily processed foods checking calories and protein in-take - fixing both and removing empty carbs and calories getting back to the gym - first only cardio, now additional strength training All the above helped me to not being stressed out everytime and all the time. I couldn't care less about things thrown at me these days. A full day with meetings, a workshop, and a coffee with friend somewhere in-between, and of course the usual time at the desk don't affect me in a negative way anymore. I don't know how the math works here, but these days I have enough hours each day to have plenty of time, even time to balance everything out. PLUS the weekends for side-projects, fun, friends, family, and just things.

I'm blown away by this. 🤯

Thanks Adrian, once again.

Sounds just about right to me, yes. At least for my use cases that would be a big leap forward; it would put me/us to control of when and where scheduled tasks run 🙂 I do like the database approach of WP cron because it gives me clear view of the landscape, so to speak, but honestly that may not be necessary at all. And perhaps something very similar can already be achieved.

I think today represents an important milestone in running a good model locally. See what Antirez (creator of Redis) has released. Tweet embedded below. Does anyone have an Apple M3 with 128gb RAM? I'd be interested to hear how it goes if you run it.

ProcessWire is more alive than ever.

Fix is confirmed. Installed the latest version from Github and it's working as before. 🎉 GLM is pretty nice. Feel free to test it a bit more using that key.

Working with AI in PageGrid Inspired by projects like AgentTools, I began investigating how well an AI could handle PageGrid’s native PW structure (Pages, Templates, and Fields). The results were surprisingly good and with a few targeted optimizations, the workflow has become remarkably solid. With the latest updates, an AI agent is reliably able to create and design PageGrid layouts, create new block templates, or perform content updates. To teach AI how to "speak PageGrid", I created a small AGENTS.md file that acts as a central hub. I’ve then added specific "skills" in separate .md files for various tasks ensuring the AI only loads the documentation it actually needs. This approach is highly optimized to minimize token consumption, allowing even "smaller" models like GPT-4o mini or Claude Haiku to produce error-free migrations. To make this possible, I also introduced dedicated Migration Functions that allow the AI to programmatically add items or set styles. For CLI-based projects, I highly recommend the AgentTools Module to streamline the integration. Beyond CLI support, AgentTools also provides a native AI interface directly within the ProcessWire backend editor. Getting Started Install the lastest version of the FieldtypePageGrid module (try for free). Tell your AI agent to read the PageGrid agent guide first: That file gives the agent everything it needs to understand PageGrid and routes it to the right documentation for your task. What You Can Ask the AI to Do Build or modify a layout Create pages with blocks, apply styles, set up responsive layouts using CSS grid columns. Example prompts: "Create a landing page with a full-width hero section and a 3-column feature grid below it." "Add a text block and an image block side by side inside the first group on my homepage." "Make the hero block have a dark background and white text, with 60px padding on desktop and 24px on mobile." The core advantage here is that the AI doesn't write your frontend code from scratch. The HTML and logic are already defined in your PageGrid Block Templates. The AI simply acts as an orchestrator, assembling these blocks and applying styles. This ensures the output remains clean, semantic, and easy to maintain via drag-and-drop later on. Create a custom block template Define a new block type with custom fields and register it with a PageGrid field. Example prompts: "Create a custom block called pg_testimonial with a quote text field and an author name field." "Create a custom card block with a title, description, and link field, and add it to my homepage PageGrid field." Write a site template Render a PageGrid field inside your own PHP template file. Example prompts: "Show me how to render my PageGrid field inside my home.php template using markup regions." "Generate a site template for pagegrid-page that includes the PageGrid output between the header and footer." Docs Documentaion

I've just updated the AdminNeo core and included two new plugins: GeminiSqlPlugin and OpenWebUiPlugin for inline prompt based SQL command generation. I haven't tested the OpenWebUiPlugin one, so if anyone has any problems with it, please let me know.

Thank you. This could have saved me a lot of time, I appreciate your input. I will try this out.

Hello @rushy, I think it only matters if you want the correct created and modified timestamp when creating or editing pages. I don't think there are any further implications. You could try this script in your config.php. It worked for me:

Thx for the kind words 😊 – and thx for the catch, I really wonder why I never noticed this before, it's kinda obvious 😅 Should be fixed in new version 1.6.1

I did not know that, never clicked a link in the title column, always on an upgrade link, if available...

Hello, everyone. I was wondering if it wouldn't just be better to switch TinyMCE with SunEditor instead as the "official" WYSIWYG editor of ProcessWire. It's licensed under MIT and it outputs cleaner code. I'm not a developer, so I'm afraid I cannot create a module and implement it myself. I don't need it personally, but I'm sure there are people (clients) who do need a WYSIWYG editor.

Thank you for your advises and corrections. I think we're done with this issue.

I not owned module. I think not good idea storage 3 files 🙂

@AndZyk Uiii, very nice. Was just wondering if it could get official that the core files are inside the vendor directory.

Hi everyone, Built this for a financial news site that needed live stock quotes embedded inline in editorial content. Drop a ticker into any text field and it renders as a live badge with price, change, and direction - clicking opens a full detail popup. GitHub: https://github.com/mxmsmnv/Stocks What it does: Live price badges - ticker, price, change amount/%, direction arrow; click opens a popup with open/high/low, 52-week range, P/E, volume, market state Three data providers - Yahoo Finance (free, no key needed), Finnhub, Alpha Vantage TextFormatter with three parse modes: Explicit [stock:AAPL] tags Cashtag/hashtag - $AAPL, #TSLA Auto-detection by company name and aliases in text Company Manager - tracked companies with names, aliases, enable/disable toggles, bulk CSV import Four CSS frameworks - Vanilla CSS (built-in), Tailwind, Bootstrap 5, UIkit 3; auto-detected or manually set File-based cache with configurable TTL and per-ticker clear from admin Circuit breaker - pauses API calls after repeated failures, serves stale cache with ~ marker Custom provider API - add any data source by extending StocksProviderBase $stocks = $modules->get('Stocks'); echo $stocks->renderBadge('AAPL'); echo $stocks->renderBadgeAs('TSLA', 'bootstrap'); Requirements: ProcessWire 3.0+, PHP 8.2+ MIT License.
