Lots of people have been asking for a way for ProcessWire to support sending of email, outside of just using PHP's mail() function. I haven't really wanted to expand the scope of ProcessWire that deep into email sending, but I have been wanting to setup a way so that people could override how emails are sent, with modules. For people that are interested in making other ways of sending email in ProcessWire, I've setup a new module base class called WireMail, and a new function called wireMail(). The wireMail() function will use whatever WireMail module is installed. If none is installed, then it will use PW's default WireMail implementation (based on PHP's default mail function). The wireMail() function replaces all instances of PHP's mail() function in ProcessWire's source. It works in a similar way as PHP's mail() except that supports a few different usages. Standard usage would be this: // to, from, subject, body wireMail('user@domain.com', 'ryan@runs.pw', 'Mail Subject', 'Mail Body'); Another usage would be to give it no arguments, and it'll return whatever WireMail module is installed for you to use yourself. If no WireMail module is installed, then it returns ProcessWire's WireMail. $mail = wireMail(); $mail->to('user@hi.com')->from('ryan@runs.pw'); // all calls can be chained $mail->subject('Mail Subject'); $mail->body('Mail Body'); $mail->bodyHTML('<html><body><h1>Mail Body</h1></body></html>'); $mail->send(); Since all of this stuff is only on the PW 2.4 dev branch at present, I'm posting this primarily for people that are interested in creating WireMail modules. For instance, I know that both Teppo and Horst (and perhaps others?) have put together such modules and ideas, so this is all aimed at coming up with a way for those ideas to be easily integrated into PW by way of modules. To make your own WireMail module, you simply create a module that extends WireMail and provide your own implementation for the send() method. Of course, you can go further than that, but that's all that is technically necessary. I've attached an example module called WireMailTest that demonstrates a WireMail module. When installed, it is used rather than PW's WireMail. This WireMailTest module includes lots of comments for you in the code of it, and you may find it helpful to use it as your starting point. WireMailTest.module For you guys developing modules, please throw any questions my way and I'm happy to help. Likewise, let me know if you think I'm missing anything important in the base interface that the modules are based upon and we can update it.16 points

Got first version of SwiftMailer implementation working locally, should be able to push to GitHub after some testing. Ryan has, once again, made things too easy for us..6 points

I can't seem to break it anymore myself, so I've just pushed Swift Mailer module to GitHub. It's still far from complete and probably lacking lots of important stuff, but if anyone wants to give it a try already please do so.. and let me know how it went. I'll create an "official" thread when it feels slightly more polished5 points

Every time a new PW site goes live, an angel gets their wings! I am so pleased to announce this one: UW Undergraduate Advising This is my fourth professional PW site, and the largest. It manages information about more than 100 different majors at the UW, their associated departments, related courses, schools, colleges, and subjects. And a handful of people and a LOT of text. It's basically a manual to pursuing an undergraduate degree at the University. And PW was a JOY to work with. It kept up with everything I threw at it, gracefully and effortlessly. I cannot praise this software highly enough. Thank you Ryan and everybody that is keeping this thing cooking. Best wishes, Jenn

Great to know a module like this exists Another alternative is to modify the .htaccess file and do a temporary redirect 302 to say a html file at the root called /maintenence.html and then when the site is out of it, edit the .htaccess file to no longer redirect everything to that page and then do a permanent redirect 301 back to the regular homepage / for anyone going to maintenence.html. The visitors won't know any difference Now you might ask, how the admins would login, well if you know your IP address you can allow just that IP to not be redirected Another alternative, is to only redirect everything but whats in your /admin/ directory (whatever you have it named, hopefully something else), granted noone would be able to preview the site2 points

Hey guys, first, ProcessWire is a great piece of software. Thanks for that and the great community behind that. So, i'm realy new to ProcessWire, but i will present you my first module for SEO- and performance optimizing: AIOM+ (All In One Minify). AIOM+ (All In One Minify) for CSS, LESS, JS and HTML AIOM+ (All In One Minify) is a module to easily improve the performance of your website. By a simple function call Stylesheets, LESS and Javascript files can be parsed, minimized and combined into one single file. This reduces the server requests, loading time and minimizes the traffic. In addition, the generated HTML source code can be minimized and all generated files can be loaded over a cookieless domain (domain sharding). Install AIOM+ Download current release (link below) Extract and copy the files for this module to /site/modules/AllInOneMinify/ Login to PW backend and go to Modules > Check for new modules Install Module > AIOM+ (All In One Minify) for CSS, LESS, JS and HTML Alternative in ProcessWire 2.4 Login to PW backend and go to Modules Click tab "new" and enter Module Class Name: "AllInOneMinify" Click "Download and Install" Features Combining stylesheets / LESS files or JavaScripts Minimize the combined files No change to the .htaccess necessary (except for the domain sharding) Server-side LESS parsing without plugins HTML source code minimization Cookieless domain / domain sharding Automatic cache management (With changes to the source file, the cache is rebuilt) Configurable via the backend Automatic rewriting the paths in the stylesheet and LESS files. No changes are needed Optional developer mode (combining, but no minimize and browser cache prevention) Clear the cache on the backend Conditional loading for CSS, LESS and JS (since Version 3.1.1) How to use Minimize multiple stylesheet or LESS files into one file. You can even mix stylesheet and LESS files in parsing and combining process! <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo AIOM::CSS(array('css/file-1.css', 'css/file-2.less', 'css/file-3.css', 'css/file-4.less')); ?>"> Minimize multiple javascript files into one file. <script src="<?php echo AIOM::JS(array('js/file-1.js', 'js/file-2.js', 'js/file-3.js', 'js/file-4.js')); ?>"></script> Conditional loading (same with Javascripts) <?php $stylesheets = array('css/reset.css', 'css/main.less', array('loadOn' => 'id|template=1002|1004|sitemap', // PW API selector 'files' => array('css/special.css', 'css/special-theme.less'))); ?> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo AIOM::CSS($stylesheets); ?>" /> More Information, Documentation and Download AIOM+ in ProcessWire repository AIOM+ on GitHub So, I hope you can do something with this module.

Ryan, I would like to have the possibility not to use only the Emailaddress but also the Recipients Names with the TO-array. Actually it accepts only a single emailaddress or an array with emailaddresses, but no names. When building that on my own I would have to break compatibility. Don't like that. Could we not use something like: public function to($email) { if(!is_array($email)) $email = explode(',', $email); $this->mail['to'] = array(); // clear // check for key-value pairs containing name=>email if(array_keys($email) !== range(0, count($email) - 1)) { foreach($email as $n=>$e) { $this->mail['to'][$n] = $this->sanitizeEmail($e); } } else { foreach($email as $e) { $this->mail['to'][] = $this->sanitizeEmail($e); } } return $this; } // also within the send() function we have to check if we have array with name=>email or string only with email I'm not happy with my code example. A better way is much appreciated, but I really would like to have that possibility. ---------------------------------------------------------- - EDIT ---------------------------------------------------------- Now after some testing I came up with this code what seems to be better: public function to($email) { if(!is_array($email)) $email = explode(',', $email); $this->mail['to'] = array(); // clear foreach($email as $n=>$e) { // check for associative key-value pairs containing name=>email if(is_string($n)) { $this->mail[$type][$this->sanitizeHeader($n)] = $this->sanitizeEmail($e); } else { $this->mail['to'][] = $this->sanitizeEmail($e); } } return $this; } And in the send() function we need to loop like this: $numSent = 0; foreach($this->to as $n=>$to) { $to = !is_string($n) ? $to : ( $n . ' <' . $to . '>' ); if(mail($to, $this->subject, $body, $header, $param)) $numSent++; }1 point

Unless I'm somehow missing your point here, inputfield doesn't matter when working over API. Insert values and save the page, that's it: $page->of(false); $page->page_field = $pages->get('name=my-page'); $page->page_field = 1; // etc. $page->save(); For more examples take a look at this post.1 point

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve with this? If you can explain what it is you want it to do more clearly that would help us to help you more. If you just require multi-language support though, have you seen this page: http://processwire.com/api/multi-language-support/ ? That can be used to translate any text field.1 point

$config->scripts and $config->styles are FilenameArrays, so you can use following methods to remove content: $config->scripts->remove($filename); // remove one file $config->scripts->removeAll(); // remove everything1 point

I don't have a static IP and I use a special string within the UserAgent, for example: RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !^.*(b346a0b6fe9d440d68e07c9619c0ba0a).*$ This way (with switching UserAgent of the browser) I am able to look to the site as admin and like the public from the same IP.1 point

Thanks for sharing Jenn! Very nice and clean site... If you can spare some time, it would be nice to write a case study about the site - to help those still learning the ropes (although we all know there are different approaches to coding PW sites)....1 point

How are you planing to use ids? Since everything is a page, everything gets a unique ID. Though not starting from zero for each item. But that is not needed in PW for controlling data.1 point

What's stopping a client from opening devtools? If clients care enough to look at source code and actually base an opinion (negative or positive) on that, i think they are well aware of optimizations like minimize and they actually applaud you for that, or you could tell them: "we minimize (and concatenate) the output for optimal performance, especially on mobile". Keeping cr/lf in there seems an in-between, for no real reason. To me minimize means minimize, but to each it's own i guess.1 point

I'm sure your module is very useful, just wanted to mention.1 point

Doesn't this kind of defeat the purpose of minimizing your html? If you want to look at nicely formatted source every browser nowadays has a good or decent devtools/inspector.1 point

If you managed to solve it, could you perhaps post your solution to be marked as the answer?1 point
