Started a new module for creating <tables> from repeater fields. Feel free to grab it from github, do with it what you want. It only works for simple text based fields inside a repeater. To use it: $table = $modules->get("RepeaterTable"); // initialize $table->thead = true; // (bool) true/false, default = true, will render <th> $table->indent = 3; // (mixed) false/int, where int is the level of indentation, default: false $table = $table->render($page->repeater); // repeaterfield called repeater <!-- output --> <table class="table-repeater"> <thead> <tr> <th class="col-1">Fieldlabel field 1</th> <th class="col-2">Fieldlabel field 2</th> <th class="col-3">Fieldlabel field 3</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr class="row-1"> <td class="col-1">data for field 1, first repeater item</td> <td class="col-2">data for field 2, first repeater item</td> <td class="col-3">data for field 3, first repeater item</td> </tr> <tr class="row-2"> <td class="col-1">data for field 1, second repeater item</td> <td class="col-2">data for field 2, second repeater item</td> <td class="col-3">data for field 3, second repeater item</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> For the HTML purist, I have added source code indentation where you can set how many tabs you wish to append before each element. Please let me know if I should add this to the modules directory ? Does someone have a good name for this ?

Greetings Sparrow, A lot of what you say is a great way to use ProcessWire. I'll address your questions on front-end forms (user submitted data). I've been building a lot of ProcessWire sites with front-end forms. In fact, the more I work the more I do this. (I'm working now to package these activities into functions). With front-end forms, there are two major ways to set up your fields: 1. Call ProcessWire "inputfields" 2. Use HTML form fields Adrian gave you a link to a great post from Soma about the first method. I've done most of my work using the second method. I posted something a while back on doing this, which you can find here: http://processwire.com/talk/topic/3105-create-pages-with-file-upload-field-via-api/ Take a look at all this, then follow up with specific questions on your needs. Thanks, Matthew

Hi everyone! With Batcher you can batch-edit and create Pages in the Pw Admin. If you install this module, you get a new Page "Batcher" under Setup. Modules page: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/process-batcher/ Github: https://github.com/wanze/ProcessBatcher Editing How does it work? Search your pages with a selector. You can check if you want to include also hidden/unpublished pages with the filters. Select the pages you want to execute an action (the action only gets executed on "checked" pages). Select the action and if necessary, additional data like the new parent or the new template. Execute. Supported actions: Publish/Unpublish Pages Hide/Unhide Pages Lock/Unlock Pages Trash Pages Delete Pages Change Parent Change Template Batcher does the following permission checkings for the current user: Don't display pages that are not editable Remove Actions if the user doesn't have the permissions (page-delete, page-move, page-template, page-lock) Important notes: When changing a template, data in fields of the old template which are not assigned to the new template gets deleted. When changing the parent, the template of the new parent must accept the pages template as children. This is a setting in the template under "family". Creating How does it work? Select a parent where your new pages will be added as children Add as many pages as you want by clicking "add Page" Click "Create Pages" You must enter a title and choose a template. The name is optional: If left empty, Pw will generate this for you. Includes permission checking and Family template restrictions. This means in detail: The selected parent must accept children and their template The pages template must accept the parents template User needs the permission to add children to the selected parents template User needs the permission to create Pages for the chosen Template Batch-creating tips The chosen template and the statuses are always cloned from the last row. So if you need to add 30 pages with the same template, define it first and the click "add Page" - it'll make your life easier ;-) You can drag & drop the table rows should you want to change the order. The dragging looks ugly but it works. For the lazy dogs and keybord hackers among us, you can add a new row by pressing "ctrl+n". This works (at least in firefox) only if no input has focus. After adding a new row, the title input gets the focus. By pressing 3 times tab you arrive at the published-checkbox, here the short-cut works. Restrict Batcher for a user to only allow editing or creating Create permissions "batcher-edit" and/or "batcher-add". As soon those exists, the module checks if the current user has the permissions. If you only need batch creating, check out the following module by Soma: http://processwire.com/talk/topic/2138-process-tools-create-pages-wip/ Cheers

This module redirects ID based URLs to the full SEO friendly URL Modules directory: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/process-redirect-ids/ Github: https://github.com/adrianbj/ProcessRedirectIds Very simple module that alllows you to link to pages with their page ID in the URL. The ID can be in any location in the URL. There is a config option to simply load the content to the ID based URL, rather than redirecting to the original PW url if you prefer. If you use this option, the module adds a canonical link to the page to help identify the ID based URL as a duplicate of the proper PW url so Google won't penalize you for duplicate content. For example you could do any of the following, where 1058 is the ID of the page you want to load: http://www.mysite.com/1058 http://www.mysite.com/1058/this-is-the-fancy-title http://www.mysite.com/category1/category2/1058/any-text-you-want/ http://www.mysite.com/category1/category2/any-text-you-want-1058/ Any of those will redirect to the proper URL, eg: http://www.mysite.com/this-is-the-fancy-title/ At the moment for this to work, the page ID segment of the URL must be the only segment that is all numerical, otherwise, anything goes. The reason for this module is mostly as a way to have a very simple shortlink to any page on the site, but it also allows for structuring URLs however you want with any content you want. I guess this could be abused and potentially bad for SEO! I am not sure if this is a good way to do this, so I would definitely appreciate any feedback.

Hi folks, as announced yesterday, I just published my new Template Twig Replace module on github. The module lets you write Twig templates directly, making calls like $page->twig('my_template.twig') in an otherwise empty php template unnecessary. It also seamlessly integrates with my other module Template Data Providers that can be found here and here. Be sure to consult the README.md for further information. Please leave your comments, opinions, and suggestions here in this forum or at github and I'll try to answer as quick as possible. Honorable mentions go to porl and his Template Twig module for inspiring this little piece of code. Regards, Marco

A quick tutorial how to create file downloads using pages You will be able to create a new page using template "PDF" (or any you setup), upload a pdf file. You then can select this page using page fields, or links in Wysiwyg. The url will be to the page and NOT the file itself. This will allow to keep a readable permanent unique url (as you define it), unlike /site/assets/files/1239/download-1.pdf, and you'll be able to update/replace the uploaded file without worring about its filename. Further more the file will also have an id, the one of the page where it lives. Clicking those links will download or open the file (when target="_blank") like it would be a real file on server with a path like /downloads/project/yourfile.pdf. You'll be also able to use the "view" action directly in the page list tree to view the file. Further more you'll be able to esaily track downloads simply by adding a counter integer field to the template and increase it every time the page is viewed. Since the file is basicly a page. This all works very well and requires only minimal setup, no modules and best of it it works in the same way for multi-language fields: Just create the language alternative fields like "pdf, pdf_de, pdf_es" and it will work without modifying any code! Still with me? ok PW setup Download folder: Create a template "folder" or "download-folder" with only a title needed. Create pages in the root like /downloads/project/ using this template. Setup the template for the pdf files 1. Create a new template in PW. Name it pdf 2. Goto template -> URLs tab and set the URL end with slash to no. (So we can have /path/myfile.pdf as the URL) 3. Create a new custom file field, name it pdf. Set its maximal count to 1 under -> Details tab. 4. Add the pdf field created to the pdf template. Easy. 5. Create a new "pdf" page using the pdf template under a download folder you created earlier. 6. Give it the title and in the name field add ".pdf" to the end (could also leave as is) Template PHP file for the pdf files 1. Create the template file pdf.php in your /site/templates folder 2. add the following code: <?php // pdf.php if($page->pdf){ wireSendFile($page->pdf->filename); } Done. To see the options you have with PW's wireSendFile() you can also overwrite defaults <?php // pdf.php if($page->pdf){ $options = array( // boolean: halt program execution after file send 'exit' => true, // boolean|null: whether file should force download (null=let content-type header decide) 'forceDownload' => false, // string: filename you want the download to show on the user's computer, or blank to use existing. 'downloadFilename' => '', ); wireSendFile($page->pdf->filename, $options); } Simple and powerful isn't it? Try it out. Some thoughts advanced Create as many file types as you like. It might also be possible to use one "filedownload" template that isn't restricted to one field type but evaluate it when being output using $page->file->ext, or save the file extension to the page name after uploading using a hook. One last thing. You can add other meta fields or preview images to the template and use those to create lists or detail pages. It's all open to goodness. Again all without "coding" and third-party modules. Further more you can use the excellent TemplateDecorator to add icons per template and have a nice pdf icon for those pages. This as a base one could also easily create a simple admin page for mass uploading files in a simple manner, and create the pages for the files automaticly. ImagesManager work in the same way. Cheers

http://www.michael-wessel.de/ - the website of a german IT service provider - is now powered by processwire. By the way: Some of the most recent work of the agency i work for is and (most likely) will be done using processwire. Me and my colleagues (some of them are registered here, also ) are pretty excited about it's speed, simplicity, community, ease of use and last but not least: the awesome API. So: Expect some more examples (as well as plugins and admin-themes) to come! Best regards Felix

Ok in input tab "Label field" setting i changed from title (deafult) on Name and now it works thanks

Those are the ID of the pages. My guess is that you chose a field that doesn't exist on the selectable pages as the pages identifier for the dropdown. Go to that field settings, and under the input tab change the "Label field" setting.

And all stuff of a website content is included with 'title body sidebar', how can i miss it? i'm not change the code of search.php

@FuturShoc: wire function (wire('api-var-name')) is needed outside PW template context where $sanitizer, $pages etc. API variables won't be defined. This is briefly explained in API docs too. Most commonly this affects functions, modules (where $this->pages etc. are also available) and bootstrapped scripts. There's probably something about that internal server error in your log files (PW and/or Apache) so you definitely should check those first.

Kind of pointing out the obvious, but the code Pete posted creates config ARRAY, while interrobangs approach creates OBJECT. It really doesn't matter which one you use here (especially considering that PHP array syntax isn't exactly pretty), just wanted to clarify the terminology a bit for any "OOP beginners" stumbling into this thread..

I updated the README file on github with a troubleshooting section with the solution to this problem https://github.com/ocorreiododiogo/pw-admin-custom-pages/blob/master/README.md

Back again, I have implemented support for subtitles (v3 on Github), although I think the route I have gone will be problematic for multi-language versions. I am trying to keep all fields for each video as components of the video field itself. I think this is useful as it allows: $page->videos->eq(n)->url; $page->videos->eq(n)->poster; $page->videos->eq(n)->subtitles; etc, if the field is set to support more than one file. However, it does reduce the flexibility because the field_video DB table has these matching fields: data, poster, subtitles. I guess add other subtitle languages would require the addition of another field for each language - eg subtitles_xxxx corresponding to the ID of the language. Maybe this is simple to achieve - I'll investigate, but if anyone has any quick tips, that would be great. Also, not sure what you think about storing the subtitles primarily in a DB field and then writing to the file system. My reasoning came from the ability to index this information for searching the video content. I am also thinking of having an automated option for outputting a transcript of the video from the subtitles text, available from: Automated transcript generation from the SRT file is now available (v4) and can be accessed using: $page->videos->eq(n)->transcript; Any thoughts?

Hi FuturShoc, try $emailUser = wire('users')->get("name=visitor"); $email = wire('sanitizer')->email($email); and so on... see http://processwire.com/api/include/

Actually, I believe it should be 'name' rather than 'title: $images = $page->images->sort("name"); //OR $images = $page->images->find('sort=name'); //OR, by the way, sort descending by name $images = $page->images->find('sort=-name'); //OR, by the way, sort descending by name $images = $page->images->sort("-name"); Tested Btw, you can also sort by other properties, including description, height, width, size (see to be different from "filesize"?), etc. See a list here

Hi ryan I also got the 404 issue and I believe it is to do with how various browsers (maybe?) handle this line: header('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=UTF-8'); Changing that to the following, my issues were resolved on Firefox: header('Content-Type: application/json'); Hopefully that helps others - I guess there may be something "non-standard" or maybe not globally recognised in the line that's in the module - it's all a bit beyond me, but this change resolves it

Hi Emmanuel and welcome to PW. PW does not control the frontend code at all, you have complete flexibility to write the output exactly as you need, including the adding of form labels. As an example, there are different ways to do this, but if you are using PW's built-in method for generating forms, you can do something like: $f->name = "myField"; $form->label = __("Field Title"); Obviously you need to build the other elements of the form, but you get the idea. You can of course use normal HTML: <label for="myField">Field Title</label> The advantage to the first approach is that the label can be made translatable using PW's language support. You can use Bootstrap, or any other framework you wish. Ryan has recently developed a Zurb Foundation profile for PW, but it is not too difficult to use any of the other frameworks. http://modules.processwire.com/modules/foundation-site-profile/ http://processwire.com/talk/topic/2411-bootwire-basic-twitter-bootstrap-profile/ http://processwire.com/talk/topic/3832-release-unsemantic-site-profile/ PW supports multilanguage: http://processwire.com/api/multi-language-support/ You can always access the database directly. It is a standard MySQL database so you can view it easily with something like PHPMyAdmin. You can also of course query it directly using SQL statements, but in most cases using PW's API and selectors is much easier. Hope that helps get you on your way to CMS nirvana

Soma, since you pointed me to it specifically, I just wanted to let you know that I was able to use ImagesManager for my project and it fit the bill completely. Thanks for taking the time to work on image gallery management for PW!

The result of the find is an array, so you can't get the children of it. If there's only one page with that template you can do: $results = $pages->get("template=news-month-archive")->children("sort=-news_date, limit=10");
