In a current project I am using a Repeater field to build a kind of pseudo-table, where each Repeater item is a row. Some of the rows are headers, and some have buttons that toggle corresponding checkbox fields in a hidden FormBuilder form. The problem was that when the Repeater items were collapsed I couldn't see which rows were headers and which contained buttons. I tried including the fields in the Repeater labels but it still didn't provide enough visual difference to be quickly recognisable. So I investigated how classes could be added to selected Repeater items in admin depending on the value of fields within the Repeater items. This is what I ended up with... In /site/ready.php // Add classes to selected service row Repeater items $this->addHookAfter('InputfieldFieldset::render', function(HookEvent $event) { /* @var $fieldset InputfieldFieldset */ $fieldset = $event->object; $attr = $fieldset->wrapAttr(); // Fieldsets in a Repeater inputfield have a data-page attribute if(isset($attr['data-page'])) { // Get the Repeater item $p = $this->pages((int) $attr['data-page']); // Check field values and add classes accordingly // If item is a header if($p->row_type && $p->row_type->id == 2) { $fieldset->addClass('header-row'); } // If item has a checkbox button if($p->fb_field) { $fieldset->addClass('has-checkbox'); } } }); In admin-custom.css (via AdminCustomFiles) /* Special repeater rows */ .Inputfield_service_rows .header-row > label { background:#29a5aa !important; } .Inputfield_service_rows .has-checkbox > label .InputfieldRepeaterItemLabel:before { font-family:'FontAwesome'; color:#73cc31; content:"\f058"; display:inline-block; margin-right:6px; } Result

This rules, Robin! i am using it for a similar case where the select field in the repeater should be highlighted if selected. (later on three highlights are shown in a teaser) if($p->techhighlight == 1) { $fieldset->addClass('is-highlight'); }

I like to showcase my new website acniti on the forum here. History Building and managing a website is a hobby, over the years, making websites got more complicated and more technologies, knowledge and wisdom are required. I started building my first website around 1997. It started out with a static site built with FrontPage, a WYSIWYG HTML editor. A few years later it was time for the first content management system, I looked at Joomla but settled for MediaWiki. I run those websites for 2 years on the MediaWiki platform and then moved on to WordPress. WordPress was good, it did a good job but over time, it became more complicated to make something out of the box, if it's not a blog, it becomes complicated and to have a feature rich website requires a lot of plugins. Little by little it became less fun and more and more hassle juggling the various plugins. In 2014 I became interested in learning PHP programming, I wanted to do this already for many years, but never had enough time to bite the bullet and work my way through the basics. At the end of the courses I though and now what have I learned, how to put this into action? To built modern website with PHP only is difficult, it also requires knowledge of html, MySQL, CSS, java-script etc. I started looking for a framework experimented a little with CakePHP and then came across Processwire via a CMS Critic blog post. Development setup I developed the acniti website on a Linux Ubuntu 16, with PHP 7 and MySQL as the development server. For the IDE I use PhpStorm, before using Storm I have used and tried some other IDE's such as Zend, Eclipse, Netbeans, Aptana but none of them I liked, some were feature poor, Zend and Eclipse were slow and use a lot of memory. PhpStorm not free but definitely worth the investment. I make use of the free tier Git repository of AWS called CodeCommit, I still use GIT Cola to commit the changes, I could also use PhpStorm for this but I never took the time to change my workflow. For project management I am a big fan of Redmine, Redmine is a web-based open-source project management and issue tracking tool. I use this also for my other work so it easily integrates with the website building flow as well. It's easy for maintaining lists of features you want to carry out per version, it supports a wiki which is easy for making notes and keeping a log of the activities. I use it everyday and it runs on Ruby. For images and graphics I switch back to Windows for some Photoshop. Processwire The acniti website runs on the latest stable Processwire version at the time of writing 3.0.62, the website has 4 languages including an Asian language. The Japanese language URL's are implemented with their 3 alphabets kanji, hiragana, katakana i.e. https://www.acniti.com/ja/インレットフィルタ. Some images on the site have text and image language tags help to select the correct language, the Processwire blog post from 30 June was helpful to get this running. The main site has a bootstrap theme, for the mobile version of the site the google AMP specification is implemented. This was really fun to do but challenging at times as the AMP specification is still a little limited. To visit the AMP pages type /amp/ behind any URL like https://www.acniti.com/amp/ for the homepage. The Google webmaster portal is really easy to troubleshoot and check for the correct AMP implementation. Finally structured data according to schema.org is added to the site via the JSON-LD markup. The commercial modules ProCache and Formbuilder are installed. The ProCache module is really amazing and makes the website lightning fast. Besides the commercial modules around eleven open-source modules are used, Database Backups, Tracy Debugger, Wire Mail SMTP, Protected Mode, Batcher, Upgrades, PublishAsHidden, URL (Multi-language), Twitter Feed Markup, Email Obfuscation (EMO), Login History, Selector test. During development the Processwire forum is really helpful and checked often. The forum is good for two reasons, most of the questions, I had during development of the site, are already on the site. Secondly the only 6 questions I posted over the last 2 years, are quickly and accurately answered. The downside I didn't become a very active member on the forum but see that as a compliment. An open issue on the acniti site is the AMP contact form with Formbuilder, the restricted usage of java-script for the AMP specification requires some more in-depth study. Hosting setup For the hosting services the acniti site uses Amazon EC2, I use AWS already many years to manage my cloud office so it was easy to decide to use it for the web hosting as well. The site is running on a micro instance of EC2 and with the ProCache module CloudFront is serving webpages worldwide fast. Updates from the development server are sent to CodeCommit and from there to the production server. From a site management point of view it would be nice to use AWS RDS to manage the MySQL databases, but from a cost perspective I decide not to do that for now. Via a cron I have set up automatic MySQL backups and these are via another cron job uploaded to AWS S3. To make sure the server is safe, a cron job runs daily snapshots of the server, this is getting initiated via AWS Lambda. Lambda also removes older snapshots because during creation a delete tag is attached for sevens days after their creation. It's important to make a separate MySQL backup as with snapshots the database often gets corrupted and its easier to restore a database backup than to fix a corrupted database. Another nice feature to use AWS Lambda for is a simple HTTP service health checker, which reports to you by email or sms when the website is down. Making use of all these Amazon services cost me probably somewhere between 10 - 15 $ a month, I have to estimate a little since I am running a lot more things on AWS than only the website. The site is running on a Comodo SSL certificate but next year I will change to the free LetsEncrypt, as it is easier to add and will automatically renew after 90 days. The Comodo certificate requires manually copy pasting and editing the certificates in place. Writing Content The content for the site I write in the Redmine wiki, most of the content I write requires research and it takes about two weeks before I publish the content to the Processwire site. For writing content I use the google spell checker with the grammar checker, After the Deadline. To ensure catchy headlines they are optimized with the Headline Analyzer from CoSchedule Social Media Now the site is running, it needs promotion. The robots.txt files shows the search engines the way as does the sitemap.xml both of these I have made in a template file. Most of the blog articles I promote are republished on social networks like, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Google+, Twitter, and some branch specific networks as the Waternetwork and Environmental XPRT. To check, the search engines index the site well, Google webmaster and Bing webmaster check for any problems with the site. For statics on the same server there is an instance installed of Piwik. Piwik is a leading open alternative to Google Analytics that gives full control over data. The Piwik setup works very well and gives a good overview of the site usage both on the desktop via the site or via a mobile app. As a part of a test I have installed the open-source SEO-panel on the same server to manage keywords and to further improve the scores in the search engine, a nice feature is that you can also track your competitors. I am still new to SEO panel and have to learn more how to use the tool effectively.

ProcessWire DropboxAPI on GitHub: https://github.com/clipmagic/DropboxAPI This module is a wrapper for Kunal Varma's Dropbox PHP SDK https://github.com/kunalvarma05/dropbox-php-sdk It was created to perform a specific function for a client, ie upload PDF files on a PW website to a specific Dropbox account folder. The PDF files, created using @Wanze's excellent PagesToPdf module using the WirePDF functions, are generated from Formbuilder forms completed by front-end site visitors. Works a treat! There's more that could be done to allow ProcessWire to take advantage of all the features of the SDK, eg downloads, multiple Dropbox accounts, etc. You are welcome to request changes and/or fork the GitHub project to extend the feature set. Enjoy! System requirements PHP 5.6.4 or greater Composer The PHP mbstring extension General information This module enables you to access a single Dropbox (www.dropbox.com) account to upload files from a ProcessWire website. All kudos to (https://github.com/kunalvarma05/dropbox-php-sdk) for the PHP API. First steps Visit (https://www.dropbox.com/developers) and read the documentation. Log into Dropbox and create a new application. It's recommended to limit ProcessWire App access to a specified folder Make a note of the App key, the App secret and the name of the Dropbox folder Installation Download the zip file into your site/modules folder then expand the zip file. Next, login to ProcessWire > go to Modules > click "Refresh". You should see a note that a new module was found. Install the DropboxAPI module. Configure the module with your App key, App secret and your Call Back URL You need to generate a Dropbox access token to enable your site to communicate with the nominated Dropbox account. Dropbox will generate a token for you or you can create a page for the front end of your ProcessWire site with a template to submit the token request to Dropbox, eg: <?php namespace ProcessWire; $drop = $modules->get('DropboxAPI'); if ($input->get->code && $input->get->state) { $code = $sanitizer->text($input->get->code); $state = $sanitizer->text($input->get->state); //Fetch the AccessToken $accessToken = $drop->getAccessToken($code, $state); echo "Copy/paste this code into the module configuration: " . $accessToken; } else { echo "<p><a href='" . $drop->getAuthURL() . "'>Log in with Dropbox</a></p>"; } ?> Once you have entered the token in the module configuration, you can unpublish this page. Usage Read the dropbox-php-sdk documentation! An example template for sending a file to a Dropbox App folder from ProcessWire: <?php namespace ProcessWire; use Kunnu\Dropbox\Dropbox; use Kunnu\Dropbox\DropboxApp; use Kunnu\Dropbox\DropboxFile; // send pdf to Dropbox $drop = $modules->get('DropboxAPI'); $app = new DropboxApp($drop->app_key, $drop->app_secret, $drop->authorization_code); if ($app) { //Configure Dropbox service $dropbox = new Dropbox($app); $dropboxFile = new DropboxFile('/path/to/myfilename.pdf'); $file = $dropbox->upload($dropboxFile, "/myfilename.pdf", ['autorename' => true]); //Uploaded File meta data if ($file) { $success = $file->getName() . " uploaded to Dropbox"; $drop->log($success); } }

I encountered a situation over the past few months where tables have been crashing when a user saves a page in PW. I'm assuming it is something related to the server/hosting provider (Site5), because it only happens on this host, but across completely different unrelated accounts. When it happens the table in question gets "marked as crashed", and then shows "in use" when you see the table in PHPMyAdmin. No data is retrievable by PW from whichever table/field is crashed, so if the body table crashes, then the front end doesn't show any body text anymore until someone goes into PHPMyAdmin and repairs the table. I'm trying to make a module or at least some button the client can click from their admin that will run a repair on the tables so i don't have to help them and go to their cPanel etc.. I added a button on the dashboard of the sites in question (for sites that i use a dashboard on), or i told them to bookmark the link to the repair process, something like example.com/repair_database.php?action=repair; so far it seems to work but wanted to check to see if anyone sees any problems or improvements to this, it was done in only a few minutes, so may have left out something... I'm not sure if this could/should be made into a module, since it is conceivable that a table could crash that would render the modules system non functional, so thought maybe better to be a bootstrapped script(?) <?php // in root of pw installation - this is the 3.0+ version; repair_database.php /* Bootstrap PW ----------------------------------------- */ include("/home/path/to/index.php"); $config = \ProcessWire\wire('config'); $user = \ProcessWire\wire('user'); if(!$user->isLoggedin()) die("access denied"); function optimizeTables() { $tables = array(); $db = \ProcessWire\wire('db'); $result = $db->query("SHOW TABLES"); while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { $tables[] = array_shift($row); } foreach ($tables as $table) { $result = $db->query("OPTIMIZE TABLE `$table`"); while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { echo $row['Table'] . ': ' . $row['Msg_text'] . "<br /> \n"; } } } function repairTables() { $tables = array(); $db = \ProcessWire\wire('db'); $result = $db->query("SHOW TABLES"); while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { $tables[] = array_shift($row); } foreach ($tables as $table) { $result = $db->query("REPAIR TABLE `$table`"); while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { echo $row['Table'] . ': ' . $row['Msg_text'] . "<br /> \n"; } } } ?> <!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Database Repair &amp; Optimize Tool</title> </head> <body> <pre> ____ _ ____ __ __ / __ \___ ____ ____ _(_)____ / __ \____ _/ /_____ _/ /_ ____ _________ / /_/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ `/ / ___/ / / / / __ `/ __/ __ `/ __ \/ __ `/ ___/ _ \ / _, _/ __/ /_/ / /_/ / / / / /_/ / /_/ / /_/ /_/ / /_/ / /_/ (__ ) __/ /_/ |_|\___/ .___/\__,_/_/_/ /_____/\__,_/\__/\__,_/_.___/\__,_/____/\___/ /_/ </pre> <?php if($input->action == 'repair') { repairTables(); } if($input->action == 'optimize') { optimizeTables(); } ?> </body> </html> example button:

Only as an information: I have opened a new github issue at https://github.com/processwire/processwire-issues/issues/344

hey guys, try: // replace 38 with the id of the user role, here 38 = superuser $items = $users->find("roles!=38"); foreach ($items as $i) { // returns guest, superuser excluded echo $i->name; } you will find the role-id in the url when you edit Admin > Access > Roles > guest, superuser, login-facebook,...

Great news, looks nice!

I can confirm that I have the same issue. Not selector doesn't seem to have an effect.

Yeah, I was meaning until the bug is fixed.

you. are. awesome.

Visual Page Selector version 004 (released (15/08/2017) Happy to announce that the latest release of Visual Page Selector is now available for Download/Purchase. Changelog Add and close option: Please note this behaves differently if VPS used in a single page field vs. a multi page field as well as if other options are enabled such as 'Delete Images' and 'Delete Pages' or if in a Lister view in the modal. In a single page field if these 'deletes' are disabled, just clicking a page thumb in thumbs view will add the page and close the modal if this option is enabled. In other cases, the modal will be closed when the Add Page option is selected and the Apply Action button is clicked. Please also note the value of the submit button can change to 'Add' depending on the context. Ajax refreshing of Inputfield! No more page reloads once you apply an action in the modal. If you add or remove a page or delete it or its image, the Inputfield refreshes automatically. It also listens to changes made to pages in the page field if editing (in a modal @see below) a page in modal. Please note that direct Lister view actions such as unpublish, trash, etc are currently not captured in this feature. Only Adding/Removing Lister view pages via VPS Apply Actions are covered. Edit selectable and selected pages: You can configure options to edit selectable options when in the modal or selected pages already in the Inputfield (which will open a modal). Any changes you make to the selected page will be reflected in the Inputfield on save. You will see them when you close the edit modal. Support for both single and multi image fields. Please note that if you Delete and Image in a selectable or selected page, VPS will check for the next available image in the named image field(s) (named in VPS settings). If an image is found, it will be returned. Otherwise, the page will be removed from the page field. This only applies to all cases expect the combination of a List view page edit and Lister modal view where no image is required. Support for both single and multi page fields Bug fixes Apologies for the delay. Hit a couple of snags that needed to be resolved. Please test thoroughly in a non-production server first. I see a couple of JS errors in the console but they seem to be related to ProcessPageLister or JqueryCore.js. Have not been able to confirm what's causing them. The module works fine though. Please note: Docs not yet updated to reflect above changes.

@benbyf Thanks Ben The token request could be on the admin side BUT the Dropbox call back URL must be a publicly viewable page to receive the token. I chose to put both the request and response on the same page and then unpublish the page once I'd received the token. According to the documentation, https://github.com/kunalvarma05/dropbox-php-sdk/wiki/Working-with-files the answer is yes. The PW module really does little more than authenticate the user and allow you to create the $dropbox object (as in example above for sending a file). Add all the appropriate "use" namespace statements in your template and you'll have full access to the API, including the ability to List Folder Contents

Hi @sirhc 1. Set memory_limit to a higher value. 2. Use ImageMagick https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-3.0.10-expands-image-resize-options/ 3. Use client-side image resizing https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-3.0.63-adds-client-side-image-resizing/

You can use AND operator for that. https://processwire.com/api/selectors/#and-selectors <?php $today = new \DateTime(); // set to now $inFiveDays = $today->modify('+5 days'); $tsToday = $today->getTimestamp(); $tsInFiveDays = $inFiveDays->getTimestamp(); // selectors are built in the order: field<operator>value // repeat a field for AND operation $ads = $pages->find("parent.template=manufacturer, expiration_date>=$tsToday, expiration_date<=$tsInFiveDays, sort=expiration_date");

These topics are in Dev Talk But it's not a bad idea at all to make a section called "Frontend & PW", where people can share snippets about rendering a multi-level-nav for UIKIT and so on.

I would like to take issue with this as well. It’s awkward for non-superusers not to find pages (or other users) they can otherwise reach, and I don’t really see why this restriction is in place by default. It is also not easy to implement a hook to change this behavior, which would be trivial to do the other way around. I.e. if the “include” parameter weren’t overridden by the Process function, that feature could be retrofitted like so: wire()->addHookBefore('ProcessPageSearch::executeFor', function($event) { if(!$this->user->isSuperuser()) wire()->input->get->include = 'hidden'; }); As well as any other custom restrictions one might need to respect custom roles and permissions. However, as it is now the restriction is hardcoded into the function and I’m not sure how to modify it in a non-destructive manner. Are there security reasons for the way it’s currently done?

@thetuningspoon - thanks for reply... holy smokes, figured it out, and soma's post was staring at me the whole time... you need to add hook properties for this type of inputfield... so adding the below to the init() $this->addHookProperty("InputfieldText::selectizeThis", $this, "addProperty"); $this->addHookProperty("InputfieldText::userStringsList", $this, "addProperty"); and adding this method to the module: public function addProperty(HookEvent $event) { $event->return = 0; } makes it work... so for future reference...this is how to add custom attributes/settings to a text field... https://processwire.com/talk/topic/9462-adding-a-configuration-setting-to-an-existing-module-with-a-hook/?p=91149

Just use httpUrl instead of url.

In case you want it a little more simpler $pages->setOutputFormatting(false); $pag = $pages->find("template=basic-page"); foreach($pag as $p) { foreach($languages as $lang) { if($lang->isDefault()) continue; $p->set("status$lang", 1); $p->save(); } }
