This week has been busy! We've got updates to our demo site, a new functions API, and other core additions that you may find useful in template files. https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-3.0.39-core-updates/

Hi Pravin, I think common mistake of newbies of the forum is to not contextualize the situation they're are asking help with. If you want help (and this is the right place :)) try first to help us understand at best what is your setup. Take for example some screenshots of your fields (the repeater containing the images or whatever it is involved in this particular situation). Hint: wrap html, php, or js code inside the "<>" icon you have in the editor, it greatly improves readability

@Nukro 1. Is it possible to save the filter interface configuration (like in ListerPro)? No it's not. But the filter should remember the filters you set up last. The filter interface as it is is generated by a core module InputfieldSelector (even in ListerPro). Saving the configuration bit is something extra ListerPro does and Media Manager doesn't. 2. Filtering tags by words (it should ignore the order) doesn't work as expected. I have experienced some weirdness myself but I probably have an older version of InputfieldSelector. The 'OR' filter has not been working for me, i.e. find image media or document media or video media tagged as 'travel'. It is something am looking into and thanks for raising this. @elabx Is the module compatible with PW 3.x ? Officially, not yet although some people have been using MM in PW 3 without any issues, certainly not files being deleted . I am currently working through a requests queue after which I will deal with compatibility issues @all I was hoping to release the version 7 of MM by next week but there have been delays (external factors, etc) so there will be a bit of a delay am afraid, sorry. Just to remind you what I am working on: Multi-tagging (and bulk removal of tags as well Media replacement (part of a setting on what to do when MM detects a duplicate media is being uploaded ) Sorting media by tags (and sort order) Uploading of media via the CKEditor plugins Bug where CKEditor plugin MMLink is conflicting with PWLink (e.g. takes over double click) List view of media (especially useful when dealing with documents with long file names) A couple of other enhancements (including CSS Fixes) Thanks

Thanks AOS is my free time spent right News for today: I've added a filterbox to the Language Translator (v0.9.3):

A small site relaunched for a cultural sponsorship association: Freundeskreis Ludwiggalerie

Looks like you're running PHP 5.3 on the live system. You could fix this error by replacing the short array notation [...] used throughout the module with its verbose notation as array(...), but you should really think of switching to a more current PHP release.

Is the form data actually sent (what does the browser's network console say)? Is any 301 redirection happening for the request to the proceed page (and if yes, does adding a trailing slash help)?

The inputfield you choose for your Page field has no impact on how you access the field value using the API. So it's just like any other Page field. The important setting is "Dereference in API as" and this determines whether your field value is a PageArray or a Page object.

I highly recommend MySQL Compare for this exact purpose. And it's free to for Non Enterprise use according to their new licensing agreement. http://www.red-gate.com/products/mysql/mysql-compare/ Unfortunately only Windows at the moment, but for a one off task like this I would strongly consider getting a windows environment running and run this tool. I've used their SQL Server version extensively and it saved the day many a times. P/S For Data differences, you have to use this instead. Above is for Schema differences. http://www.red-gate.com/products/mysql/mysql-data-compare/

v091 brings useful updates to the AdminDataTable filters like counter, invert search using "!" and some badass CSS styling, plus many improvements under the hood. The new submodule ListerTweaks is also included, which now respects the Lister bookmarks too. There was an important fix to ctrl+s feature of Hotkeys - if the Source dialog of a CKEditor is opened then ctrl+s won't save the underlying page but trigger the OK button in the dialog.

https://github.com/adrianbj/ProcessModuleToolkit It allows bulk automated migration installation and upgrading of modules (and their config settings) from one PW install to another, so it should be very handy in setting up new sites with your standard collection of favorite modules and settings. Allows includes batch installing by a list of module class names. Go to the Setup > Module Toolkit and follow the prompts. During the import, you can choose which modules from the collection to import. You can optionally import the module config settings from the source install. The one caveat is if a particular setting includes a reference to a page, template, or field ID, it won't work, but you can easily update this setting on the destination install. Batch install new modules directly from the modules directory with a list of module classnames or URLs to module zip files. You can optionally, automatically update all of the imported modules (if they are in the ProcessWire modules directory) to their latest available versions. It copies the module files so you can use it to migrate modules that are not available in the PW modules directory, or on Github. Great for all those custom helper modules you've created. Full restore feature in case something goes wrong / you change your mind. I maintain a dedicated test PW install for installing and configuring modules which I can then export for use in my projects using this tool. Please test and let me know what you think!

This fix is now included into the module. Thanks @teppo and @ceberlin. //Jasper

Thank you. The missing trailing slash in the form action argument was indeed the problem, causing a 301. (see screenshot attached) Now it works fine! So this is correct: <form id="my-form" method="post" action="<?php echo $config->urls->root; ?>proceed/"> … etc …

Please, what's your question? Probably you haven't installed a new PW 3, but copied a PW3 wire folder over a previous PW2 wire folder? If not, can you provide the exact steps what you have done?

@David Beesley: I haven't tinkered with the modules in a while, but I'll try to find the time to run some tests over the next few days. I'll post back here.

hi tpr, wow - the filterbox is really cool! just one minor problem is when using the finder it only finds pages from the currently open pagination. it's obvious to me that this is because of ajax pagination and the data not being in the dom, but i'm sure it's not obvious for clients with no knowledge about all that. i think there should be at least a visual tip. don't know how to solve that in a better way - this will also be a problem in my current project so i'm curious what you think about that i would also suggest adding a link to the docs. i didn't even notice that the module is documented so great and wanted to ask you to add some more descriptive descriptions i'm always installing the module just by typing in AdminOnSteroids so i never went to github for that. and i guess i'm not the only one doing so...

@FrancisChung Thanks for the info! We've been already discussing it in the forum, and I will find the time to take a look at it on my virtual machine windows setup, but I wanted a tool to quickly spot any changes that happen to a database in a "short period of time" (e.g. module install / system upgrade like changes, tracking other similar changes "manually", etc...). On a Mac doing such tusks with windows GUI applications is a bit tedious, even if it is a decent tool to perform such a tusk. Two separate GUI apps for looking for both schema and data changes probably "slows things down" a bit too. I forgot to mention that my bash script "detects" added/missing tables too by also appending the added/missing tables in question to the final text output, so even this sort of change can be spotted. Also, when the names of the databases are already in the script, it takes only about 10-15 seconds to perform the comparing operation, so I am less likely to skip it due to laziness As I pointed out, my script is not meant to be any sort of migrating tool, whereas the RedGate apps are different beasts for sure.

I was about to upgrade when I realise you need MacOs 10.11 ..... NoooooooOoooo. You're absolutely right about Codekit being great for beginners but I'm starting to find a bit long in the tooth in terms of speed and resources. I was contemplating setting up Grunt/GULP etc to work on PHPStorm so I can remove it eventually. Upgrading to Codekit 3 would have saved me a world of pain ...

I ended up using Ajax, Javascript and the above PHP Code so it's not so simple any more Ajax + passing parameters to PHP was a real pain in the proverbial ... trying to figure out all the idiosyncracies. If anyone is interested, I can post it up for your scrutiny

+1 for Sourcetree too. Great tool if slightly confusing at the beginning. I probably need to look at this tutorial myself as some of the GIT Terminology confuses me. I'm always under the impression Push / Pull / Get Requests etc seem to have slightly different meaning to what I know them to be from using much older SCCs. 1 important gotcha of the Sourcetree tool is that you can't do merges of 2 branches with it (At least I haven't figured it out). So it appears me to that certain "admin" tasks can only been done online using the web client.

Hi @Pravin, welcome to the ProcessWire community! We have tons of topics you can read about it, just toss into Google: site:processwire.com/talk srcset

Hey guys, Just launched a new project called Fabricius: fabriciusstrasse31.de Fabricius is a new building thats being built in Hamburg (Germany), that offers modern living comfort in a green environment. I developed the whole brand strategy and visual identity for the website and some printing materials. The logo mark is derived from the silhouette of the building, which is surrounded by trees (circular shapes) and green areas. More details here The website is build with PW 3.0 and uses Modules like Map Marker, Pages2PDF (to generate the apartment exposes) and MarkupSrcSet. Thanks for the awesome support here and the development of PW and the modules!!

"To master git, one has to live many lives" – Confucius Is indeed very hard to understand it beyond the basics. I sure don't. One good resource that I can recommend is this course by Jeffrey Way on his Laracasts: https://laracasts.com/series/git-me-some-version-control He is an excellent teacher, I can't recommend him enough. Take a look at all courses there, you won't regret.

Hey 3fingers - thanks for the reply! Unfortunately those are not helpful in this instance. I've gotten the default CKEditor to comply just fine the way I was hoping. The problem is specifically with the PWimage add-on for embedding images in to CKEditor. Thanks, tpr! These are kind of what I was thinking I could do, but was thinking/hoping there might be a PW way of fixing it that I just didn't find. Once this project's done I have a few things that I'll want to tackle to see if I might be able to fix. Looks like this might be added to the list.

Hello @mstroeck and welcome to the forums! What sort of server setup are you using? Any chance that you have custom rewrite rules? Any more detail that can shed more light on the issue?

v1.4.0 is at https://github.com/matjazpotocnik/ProcessFileEdit Changes: - removed ProcessWIre namespace, module should work from PW 2.5.5 and up - edit file in modal window

Just uploaded v089 with a few improvements to the filter boxes. Now it supports ajax tables and "input" texts are also considered on filtering. As a result you can search for page title in Batch Child Editor module for example, which wasn't possible earlier: Table columns don't jump on filtering anymore. Furthermore the "body" was set to "overflow: scroll" so it doesn't jump when its height changes (which often happens filtering a long table).

Preview of the new filterbox for modules - the dots in the tabs shows that items are found there:

Small request I always preferred the hover effect for showing page list action buttons to be triggered on the entire row, rather than just the title of the page - this makes it much easier as there is much less mouse horizontal movement - left to trigger the actions and then back right to click the required button. I actually find it quite a significant timesaver. .content .PageList .PageListItem:hover .PageListActions{display:inline;-webkit-transition-delay:.25s;transition-delay:.25s} .content .PageList .PageListItemOpen .PageListActions{display:none !important;} .content .PageList .PageListItemOpen:hover .PageListActions{display:inline !important;-webkit-transition-delay:.25s;transition-delay:.25s}

nice! also a good read: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/1799-routes-and-rewriting-urls

Actually, you can do this on the dev branch. Lets assume that cities are children of countries and that is reflected in your page structure (i.e. /countries/france/paris/). Create your 2 page fields (country and city), and configure 'country' as a single page field with "parent" set to "/countries/". Next, for the "city" field configuration, use the "Custom selector to find selectable pages", present on the "input" tab. In that field, enter "parent=page.country". Save and try it out. This works with select, selectMultiple and asmSelect fields (and possibly others), though not yet with checkboxes, radios or PageListSelect.
