Cheers, Dipping my toe into modules. I like the YOOtheme uikit framework (www.getuikit.com), among other things, for its modularity. However, conditional deployment can be a bit of a pain and documentation is not always clear on what to include, unless you check the available files. So i tried a module which helps with that. The module works but I'm still at amateur level and the code is certainly not up to standard so i will only post it here yet. So if someone feels this module might be useful to her/him, please take some minutes to improve and share your teachings. Happy to learn. https://github.com/alterkater/MarkupUikitLoader thanks!

I know someone has to write this, so let it be me. The first time I realised what I could do with the ProcessWire API it was like an insane mode in mentioned Tesla Model S. But it was just the beginning as PW keeps accelerating me ever since. Of course there are rough edges, but I am sure there are some in Tesla too - you just have to own it a bit longer to discover them . This creation of yours, Ryan, is something that was a mind-changer and a life-changer for so many of us here and more around the globe. And it is not just cheaper and better, it is open source and the best you can get! Tesla team made a great job. So did you - alone. More people everywhere in the world are using PW now than probably ever will be using Tesla cars. So the impact not only on the future, but on the present is quite comparable (Tesla team just has to work harder to not fall behind too far). ProcessWire is equally fine crafted mixture of technology and design, as this electric car... But none of us have to give it back some day soon. But not only the technology is to be mentioned. ProcessWire is a community, open source and global. People from Africa use it alongside people from Europe and Americas. And they (actually we) come together every day to talk to each other about a topic of no envy and hatred, but a common love and perspective. The world seems to be so unstable and fragmented these days. At the place that I live I hear a lot of negative words aimed at US and its policy. Some of it might be true, some of it is an obvious propaganda. But without other channels of information and communication you can easily lose your own point of view. I am sure something similar is happening on the so called "other side". Here in community we overcome that way of thinking. You, Ryan, and the open source ProcessWire thing is doing better job for creating a world as a better place than NSA spying scandals and troops being brought to places abroad for sure. And your avatar is the most friendly face of America to be seen for many. I do not know if making one of the best pieces of software in the world for free and inspiring one of the most friendly and helpful international communities shall ever help you to buy a luxury electric car (I really hope so), but "at least" your children have something to be really proud about.

Thanks Ivan, I really appreciate it! You give me way too much credit and are too kind, but such a heartfelt message still leaves me speechless, so thank you again. I don't think I want any kind of luxury car! I'll be honest, while I was sad to give the car back, I was also glad to because it's just plain stressful. There's no problem if someone dents my car or something gets scratched, etc., but borrowing such a fancy car makes you always worried about where you park. If a bird poops on it you have to clean it right off, and so on and so forth. All these things I never worry about, but became apparent when I had to be responsible for such an object for 2 days. I imagine a lot of stress comes with owning something like that. I'm sure to many it's worth it, but still, glad I don't have to think about that kind of stuff every day. If I were to ever own a car like this, I'd buy it after it's already many years old, inexpensive, and has the battle scars to show it. \

No, sadly I don't own a Tesla Model S. Instead I own a 1994 Mazda. But with getting ProcessWire 3.x ready to release, I didn't have a lot to write about this week. So figured, why not chat about something else I'm passionate about (this is a blog after all). Last weekend, I got to pretend that I owned a brand new 2016 Tesla Model S (P90D) for two days and a couple hundred miles. I was so inspired by it, I figured why not write something. We'll even attempt to draw some parallels with ProcessWire. This post also covers updates to several 1st party modules. https://processwire.com/blog/posts/tesla-model-s/

<?php $shows = $pages->get('/shows/')->children; $currentTime = time(); $future = $shows->find("show_date>$currentTime"); $past = $shows->not("show_date>$currentTime");

Hi @rolisx and welcome to the forums. foreach ($pages->get('/shows/')->children("show_date<=".time().", sort=show_date') as $show) { and then another one where the show_date is greater than the current time()

From the repeater fieldytype javascript: // Re-enable CKEditor instances ui.item.find('textarea.InputfieldCKEditorNormal:not(.InputfieldCKEditorLoaded)').each(function() { $(this).closest('.InputfieldCKEditor').trigger('reloaded', [ 'InputfieldRepeaterSort' ]); }); // Re-enable the TinyMCE instances ui.item.find('.InputfieldTinyMCE textarea').each(function() { tinyMCE.execCommand('mceAddControl', false, $(this).attr('id')); }); This is not nice. Please trigger global events on the window object, so every dynamic javascript component can subscribe and init/update it service on repeater ADD/MOVE/DELETE operations.

Hi, Would anyone be interested in creating a custom fieldtype where images are uploaded to an Amazon S3 bucket instead of the /site/assets/ folder? Thanks

I pushed an initial (testing) version of TemplateFileHelper to bitbucket. https://bitbucket.org/pwFoo/templatefilehelper/src/ The autoload module extends TemplateFile instances with API vars $layout and $view $layout -> global layout instance of TemplateFile to set layout placeholders ($layout->set(...) or global scripts / styles. $view -> current page instance of TemplateFile to set the current page placeholders and current page scripts / styles. load() method Load a template / view with additional controller (php) file as subTemplate. Returns a TemplateFile object to render / output Each sub-template controller have access to API Vars and $subTemplate (current TemplateFile instance, $subTemplate->set('placeholder', 'My value...')). Load site/templates/chunks/test1.php controller and site/templates/chunks/test1.tpl view: $part = $view->load('chunks/test1'); echo $part->render(); chunks/test1 example <?php // chunks/test1.php - controller $subTemplate->set('var1', "Subtemplate variable output..."); <!-- chunks/test1.tpl - view --> <div><?=$var1?></div> scripts / styles properties FilenameArray like $config->styles | scripts. It should help to organize scripts / styles with ajax in mind (global / current page only). // current page script $view->scripts->add('js-file.js'); // global / layout script $layout->scripts->add('js-file.js'); You have to handle the output yourself by two foreach loops inside your _layout.php / _layout.tpl files (non ajax calls scripts and styles should be in layout head section). foreach ($layout->scripts as $globalScript) { ... } foreach ($view->scripts as $currentPageScript) { ... } IntercoolerJS module will take care about async / ajax handling of (custom page) scripts and styles. hook Page::render hook after page render to load and add the global layout. The current page template (PW template file == controller) just handle the currents page code / view. Global layout / controller / view is moved to separate files (default: _layout.php controller and _layout.tpl view). Just use $layout->set(...) to fill the _layout.tpl placeholder variables inside the _layout.php controller file. configurable module Some settings are available... Global layout (view + controller) file name (default: "_layout") Current page content variable (used inside of the _layout.tpl view to output current page content, default: "currentPageContent") View file extension (default: ".tpl") Controller file extension (default: ".php") It will be a dependency of the planned IntercoolerJS module which adds ajax page calls, async scripts / styles handling (current page scripts and styles...) and need a defined template handling to work...

Some good news! I have experimented with the background for transparent images. I have tried lots of checkerboard images, with two or three colors, with alpha transparency or not. Finally I came to the conclusion that it is much better to use some photoshop noise. Here is my testimage. A png with black, white and midgrey text / symbols plus a grayscale full opaque and half transparent: And here is a screenshot how it looks as thumbnail in the images field with some noise background: This way we would not need any steroids, no config settings, nothing else.

Have you checked the access settings for the field too?

Q: What has the TESLA that PROCESSWIRE does not have: A: backdoors

After trying several SaaS options I've settled with StatusCake (referral) for a year now. They offer free unlimited servers. You can receive an e-mail free (or use several third party integrations) or text (costs a little like 25$ for 100 credits). The only drawback is that you can't select from which location you want to check and you might find the 5 min interval too slow. But hey: it's free Right now I'm thinking of upgrading to get additional 1 minute checking, Locations, SSL Monitoring and Page Speed tests for 20$ a month.

I think that is what this reply covers: GAPI looks like a nice interface for accessing Google Analytics stats.

My code example is a bit lengthy. I copied it from an event template with another usecase. There we have a start_date and optionaly an end_date too. Only all future events and or currently active events should be shown on the site, also those where the start_date is in the past, but the end_date is in the future: $threshold = strtotime(date('d.m.Y 00:00:00')); $selector1 = "template=ptlist-events, event_disabled=0, event_date_start>={$threshold}, sort=event_date_start"; $selector2 = "template=ptlist-events, event_disabled=0, event_date_end>={$threshold}"; $events = $pages->find($selector1); // find all events that start today or in the future $events->add($pages->find($selector2)); // find all events that end in the future, even if they started in the past, // and add to PageArray $events->sort('event_date_start'); foreach($events as $k => $v) { printEvent($v); } PageArray stores by ID, so there are no duplicate entries in the final PageArray.

Thanks for your comments, I saw them i really love to apologize to everyone, I got sidetracked by a big project in the office but am working on continuing the rest and yes VueJs is part of it

<?php $threshold = strtotime(date('d.m.Y 00:00:00')); // = today $selectorFuture = "parent=/shows/, show_date>={$threshold}, sort=show_date"; // or: sort=-show_date $selectorPast = "parent=/shows/, show_date<{$threshold}, sort=show_date"; // or: sort=-show_date foreach($pages->find($selectorFuture) as $show) { // echo table rows here ... } foreach($pages->find($selectorPast) as $show) { // echo table rows here ... }

Actually couldn't help mentioning this in the latest Weekly issue. Apparently Italian and Polish versions of Burger King's site are running ProcessWire, others use Drupal. Perhaps, just perhaps, they're converting others too?

Loved your text Ivan!

Not sure if this really belongs here, but interesting to see that: http://www.burgerking.it/ is running on PW and yet several other of their regional sites, eg: http://burgerking.ca/ are running Drupal. Sites looks very similar visually.

Hi, I took your advice , and you were right . Apparently when transferring data from my computer to the server permissions are wrong. I don't know why this is happening, I uploaded another PW project and everything worked well, using almost the same code.

I'm developing single-page application (SPA) which interacts with PW site only with help of ajax post/get calls to custom site API. Initially guest (non-loggeding) user opens page with SPA. Then he logins via ajax call to custom API (requests key, supplying email and pass) and as soon as key is available, makes other ajax calls to custom API with this key. e.g. update own email, phone, etc. Instead of developing custom authorization system, I'd like to use PW built-in authorization. So, my questions are: 1. How to generate key which PW uses to set cookie that is uses to identify session/logged-in user. I guess in my custom API login handler I should create new user session and return some token/key? E.g. how to do that using PW API? 2. Assumed SPA got this key and makes next ajax request to API with this key included in query - how to authorize request / identify user with help of PW API? In sum - I need some guidance on PW API authorization methods that may help me to enable user authorization and access control in custom API from SPA ajax calls.

Ok, the new Dumps Recorder Panel is now available. If you have this panel enabled, all dumps sent via bd() calls will automatically be stored and displayed in this panel until you click the "Clear Dumps" button. Keep in mind that dumps of PW objects can be very large, so it pays to keep this cleaned up very regularly. In case you didn't follow the discussion above, this panel is great for when there are more than one AJAX call which would replace the core dumps panel content with the last call meaning you may completely miss the dump you are interested in. It will also be handy if there are multiple redirects going one. It may also be useful when you want to compare the values of dumping the same variable/object from different pages. I am sure there are use use cases as well. I hope you'll find it a useful addition. @tpr - I tested the situation you described with a repeater and the bd() from your AOS module and this new panel works great for recording these calls. I updated your test install so you can see it in action there. Let me know if anyone has any problems/suggestions for this.

Updated my fork to 1.2.6: https://github.com/rolandtoth/ProcessWire-MarkupSitemapXML/tree/master The readme file is updated with info on the new features: auto generate sitemap on module submit ajax button to generate sitemap comments feature in exclude list

A simple rule to remember is: Any data input from the user needs to be entity encoded before outputting it back to a browser. What is entity encoding? It means taking some special characters and converting them to a format that isn't interpreted by the browser as anything but text. We care primarily about characters used for tags, like "<" and ">", characters used for single or double quotes (especially when values might end up in HTML tag attributes), and ampersands "&". These are the characters that can mean something more than just text to a web browser. But you don't even have to think about this if you just remember to entity encode any output. There are cases where you don't have to entity encode, like if you've already typecast something as an integer, or already run it through one of PW's filtering functions that removes special characters... $sanitizer->pageName() is a good example. But if you want to play it safe, just entity encode everything you are outputting back to the user... there's no harm in it. One way to tell if entity encoding is working is to enter a value like "<b>test</b>" in your form field. When you get it back, if it reads as test rather than <b>test</b>, then you've got a problem. No. $sanitizer->text() filters input for storage, not for output. It limits length and prevents linebreaks, among other things. While it strips tags (unless you tell it not to) it doesn't entity-encode any characters. The reason is that you don't usually want to store entity encoded text, unless it's meant to be stored as markup, like TinyMCE (in which case, none of this applies). So ideally, your sanitization would go something like this: // these values are for API use or storage $firstName = $sanitizer->text($input->post->first_name); $lastName = $sanitizer->text($input->post->last_name); // these values are for output back to the user $outFirstName = $sanitizer->entities($firstName); $outLastName = $sanitizer->entities($lastName); // you might prefer to bundle these into an array When it comes to outputting values that came from the user, the $sanitizer->text(); is certainly a good idea, but it's not required. It's not going to make the text any safer for output than $sanitizer->entities(); will on it's own.
