Apologies all! I did not keep my word! A number of things beyond my control happened but now I am back. Shop is open. I will post an update tomorrow about MM Next. Thanks.!

Padloper 009 I am pleased to announce the release of Padloper 009! It has been a minute! I apologise for the delay. Padloper 009 introduces a number of new features, bug fixes (especially in Multilingual sites) and improves overall code efficiency. Credits Before I get into the details, I would like to say massive thanks for all who have contributed to this release in various ways. You have contacted me via the forums, via PM and via email to report bugs, test Padloper and suggest and sponsor new features. In particular, I would like to thank (in no specific order) @Spinbox, @alexm, @joe_g, @ank, @csaggo.com, @Jan Fromm, @Pete, @Sonia Margollé and @kalimati. Whilst I will not name those who contacted me privately, please accept my gratitude for your help. Apologies if I forgot to give anyone a mention! Massive thanks to @ryan for ProcessWire. Padloper 009 is the most battle-tested Padloper yet! It has been tested and developed on high volume sites, sites that require lots of customisations and multilingual sites whose default language is not English. This robust development has helped fix bugs that I would not have been aware of otherwise as well as new ideas and features to improve the API, workflow and GUI of Padloper. Many of the suggested features have made it into this version. A few others are planned for the future. There is a lot to talk about in this version. Below I’ll just give a summary of the changes and where necessary, create separate topics to discuss some of the new features. Although Padloper 009 has undergone thorough testing, there might, inevitably, be some bugs. If you find one, please let me know in the forums under a separate topic. Thanks! Changes Features Home Customisable dashboard. You can render your own dashboard by creating a template partial named ‘padloper-process-render-shop-home.php’ and placing it at ’/site/templates/padloper/backend/padloper-process-render-shop-home.php’. Please see this thread for more details. Orders Customisable single order view. You can render your own dashboard by creating a template partial named ‘padloper-process-render-orders.php’ and placing it at ’/site/templates/padloper/backend/padloper-process-render-orders.php’. Please see this thread for more details. Order status actions: Can be applied manually for order, payment and shipping status. Quick filters e.g. ‘open’, ‘cancelled’, ‘abandoned’, etc. Products Configurable pricing fields. Sales and Normal Price (e..g WooCommerce) vs Price and Compare Price (e.g. Shopify). Please see this topic for more details. Categories can optionally be named ‘Collections’. Configurable via ‘/admin/shop/configure-padloper/’. Discounts (new) 4 discount types: Orders, products, free shipping and BOGO (Buy One/Get One - unfinished; see below). Can be applied manually or automatically at checkout. Please see this thread for more details. Part sponsored by Nifty Solutions. Thanks @Pete! Customers and Customer Groups (new) Customer creation and management. Please see this thread for more details. Customer Groups. This feature will be expanded in the future. Please see the above thread for more info. Add/remove via ‘/admin/shop/configure-padloper/’. General Settings Redone interface Add ‘from email’ settings.. Add bank details settings.. Add order ‘least and most’ sales thresholds for orders’ quick filters. Settings for ‘low stock’ and ‘price fields’ for products. Add tab ‘user interface’ with settings for shop navigation (can have side menu and/or dropdown navigation) and search features (can use quick filters and/or advanced filter). Other Backend Quick filters on various dashboards. Custom Dashboards for Home and Orders. More to be added in future. Frontend Custom shop root page. This allows you to move product-related pages and legal pages to live under a frontend-accessible page. Configurable via /admin/shop/configure-padloper/. Please see this topic for more details. For instance, /myshop/products/, /collections/, /products/, etc. This means you can directly access products on the frontend using their real paths/urls instead of using URL segments. This setting can be changed anytime via configuring Padloper at /admin/shop/configure-padloper/. Miscellaneous Various UI improvements. Dashboards tables sorted by title by default. Breaking Changes Template partials for the frontend have been moved from /site/templates/padloper/ to /site/templates/padloper/frontend/. Deprecated ‘Search Feature’ on the home dashboard has been removed. Use ProcessWire in-built search instead. Padloper hooks into it to group padloper related results. PadloperProcessOrder::orderSaved now becomes PadloperProcessOrder::orderSavedHook.The new approach is to have all hooks in one please for easier maintenance and usage. Bug Fixes Please see the bug fixes topic. How to Get It Padloper 009 is available at https://processwireshop.pw/products/padloper/. For those renewing subscriptions, you will have to wait a bit, apologies. I am finalising work on renewal codes. I am hoping this will be ready by tomorrow. Any issues with the (revamped ?) site please let me know 😀. Upgrading This is a major upgrade. Lots of code has been moved around. Best way to upgrade files is to empty the contents of the root Padloper folder and upload the contents of the new version there. There are no data model changes affecting existing features but as always, back up your site(s) first! Next Steps In addition to fixing any bugs that show in 009, these are the plans for the next 3-6 months, possibly more, in order of priority. No new features will be introduced until these are completed. Documentation Documentation will cover all topics including installation, backend and frontend use and the API. ‘How to guides’ will consist of short videos with corresponding textual content on a dedicated Padloper site. Discounts Finish work on the Buy One Get One (BOGO) Discount and automatic discounts. Gift Cards Finish work on Gift Cards. Road Map I will talk about this when the ‘next steps’ tasks have been completed. Thanks!

This is looking way better. The export works as expected again and the module is in the profile. Thanks, @FireWire!

Hi, First of all, great work @jploch! I'm testing pagegrid to integrate it to site with custom theme. By custom theme I mean that the site's appearance is already built manually. So I would like to use PAGEGRID to give users an easy way to handle content in the page. I've now installed PAGEGRID and configured it. But the problem is that when I edit the page with PAGEGRID it also load the manually built appearance. The page is built using append and prepend files. Any ideas how to do this correctly?

I see a very handy module. When I have a lot of different open projects, it can be hard to figure out what you have open at the moment. I wanted to do something like this myself. But my hands did not come to the matter. Thank you very much @BitPoet However, I would like to mention one more important parameter. I would like the tab icon to change its color as well. This will be visible by the color of the tab in the browser on which development is taking place. I also have different icons for frontend and backend. This is convenient for clients in a running project. Such a method can be easily implemented in ready.php $page->addHookAfter('render', function($event) { $template = $event->object->template; if ($template == 'admin') { $event->return = str_replace("<title>", "<link rel='icon' type='image/png' href='/img/backend_favicon.png'><title>", $event->return); } });

Great addition @ryan Had you thought about dealing with hierarchies in the same way as repeaters? Then there would be almost no need to use the separate children tab.

Another thing, another thought. An exported site profile should contain all necessary files to install and run that profile. Right? If so, what about necessary files like .editorconfig, package.json, .prettierrc, composer.json, and others? Do you guys copy all those files manually over after exporting the site profile? Or do you see the exported site profile more like a final product in which those files aren't necessary anymore? (Wouldn't work out because the /vendor folder is missing in the export folder/ZIP as well - in my case.)

@ryan - I wonder if PW might automatically include those gc tweaks when Debian is detected? Maybe via something like this. Perhaps it could be run at install, rather than runtime if you're concerned about performance although it is only about 1ms. if (strtolower(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 5)) === 'linux') { $vars = array(); $files = glob('/etc/*-release'); foreach ($files as $file) { $lines = array_filter(array_map(function($line) { // split value from key $parts = explode('=', $line); // makes sure that "useless" lines are ignored (together with array_filter) if (count($parts) !== 2) return false; // remove quotes and new lines $parts[1] = str_replace(array('"', "'", "\n"), '', $parts[1]); return $parts; }, file($file))); foreach ($lines as $line) { $vars[$line[0]] = $line[1]; } } d($vars['ID']); }

I check permission (e.g. superuser) in the php script, use .htaccess folder protection and use get parameters to hide/redirect (404) non privileged users depending on how powerful the script is or what damage it may do in untrusted users hands. If in doubt, I create an admin module or upload the script only for the time required (with the measures above) and remove it afterwards via FTP.

Hi, @Ivan Gretsky effectively, I started to give little time again on an experimental project I started nine months ago where the goals is let a pw developers build a desktop application using php/pw knowledges without digging into advanced javascript/bindings or learning a native language. About the db, you want to work with statitcaly embedded mariadb versions, SQLite could be possible, but will require a lot of work.

Silly me. I thought calculating width would be simple. Just tested, Google is truncating meta titles by 18px and meta descriptions by 13px. I need to take some time (busy ATM) to fix this in JavaScript, and will update again. It is updated.

Have recognized the speed increase with a MariaDB / InnoDB project set up too. Never investigated further, why it feels much more responsive than comparable setups w/o InnoDB so far.

Following the code for InputfieldFile, if you have set it to maxFiles: 1 and replace: true, the old file should be deleted. See around here in the code.

Sorry if that wasn't clear: Simple approach with as little inter-dependencies as possible and editors will copy over content if needed.

Glad it helped. Congrats on not giving up 🙂 💪

Hi @Techno welcome to PW 🙂 Have a look at the absolutely brilliant Tracy Debugger https://adrianbj.github.io/TracyDebugger/#/ and its debug methods https://adrianbj.github.io/TracyDebugger/#/debug-methods

@Marty Walker @Robin S @Mats Could you try the attached version of the module and see if it helps with your issues with Vimeo URL formats? Robin, Mats (I hope I got the right one), I've included you both as you have a similar issue open on the repo. TextformatterVideoEmbed.module

Hi @CraigThank you very much! Seems to work fine now.

Thanks @bernhard for being awesome again. This worked flawlessly!
