Finally got around to watching this recent documentary about Microsoft's abuse of monopoly and its lobbying practices in the EU: MS lobbyists using government email addresses and other fun stuff revealed!

I'm still working on the latest version of ProcessWire (version 3.0.106) and don't have it quite ready to push to GitHub today, so we'll save that for next week. But I do have a fairly major FormBuilder release ready, and am placing it for download in the FormBuilder support board today. In this post, I'll cover what's new in this version of FormBuilder. After that, there is a how-to guide for using hooks in FormBuilder, though some might also find it also generally useful for any hooks in ProcessWire. Lastly, there's a FormBuilder hooks reference, which has been asked for a few times lately, so figured that was a good way to round out this FormBuilder blog post. Thanks for reading! https://processwire.com/blog/posts/formbuilder-v34/

it depends on the context. If OutputFormatting is off, $page->template returns the object, if OutputFormatting is on, it returns only the name.

I've done such a task by using my RockGrid field and connecting it via JS to a Page Reference field. You have a nice UI for filtering and listing items (books in your case) with different columns and you can just select + add them to your reference field. If you are happy with your autocomplete field, great. If not you can contact me ?

Hi Folks, I'm new to this forum, and only recently discovered PW. I'm coming from recently giving October and Craft and WordPress serious goes, but have been very curious to try a flat file approach. I must say for what it is worth, I spent hours and days bouncing around the web trying to find and then compare CMSs generally, and flat file CMSs specifically. PW didn't show up at first at all...which is unfortunate, as this seems like a great CMS and I look forward to giving it a go and following this forum. Most of the buzz seemed to be around Grav and Kirby. As a newbie who just discovered PW, I will point out that one of the things I look at when considering a CMS is what kind of pulse it has in the social media/forums realm. For example, I was surprised to see that you all don't have a Slack channel...or if you do, I can't find it, and it is not listed on the main PW page. That is a great way to find out what is going on within any given community, and addition to forums like this of course. You do have Twitter listed, which is great. I am also surprised that you don't have an introductions section in this forum for newbies. Maybe it's not that critical, but as a new member to a community it is nice to have. You of course can announce your arrival elsewhere in the forum like am I doing here. And yes, first impressions upon landing on the CMS front page makes a big difference. For example, I recently landed on the Razor CMS page and immediately cringed and couldn't get away from it fast enough. I forget now who it was after looking at so many CMSs, but another CMS front page immediately struck me as being corporate 1995 and also made me cringe and I had to leave stat. I know looks aren't everything, but considering what we do, well they kinda are lol. In any case, I thought I would at my 2.5 cents as a newbie who has very recently stumbled upon your community, and ran across this discussion. Cheers

I'm still working on it. ? The screenshot shows: Nested groups "New row" elements Vertical alignment Grid settings Embedded Youtube Video Card options Background color for text elements

Welcome to the forums @matt.bryant You mean something like this, or maybe something else? https://processwire.com/talk/topic/8234-community-rules-guidelines/

Check the Versions List section of the PW Info panel in Tracy:

Hi @theo, Nice work. Glad to see some progress. Gideon

Hi theo, I was also thinking about how such a PageBuilder could be approached in the last days. No solution yet. I think the challenge is to make it reusable. And I guess it will be hard (impossible) do have a solution that works across multiple css frameworks. I'm thinking of building something like that for Uikit. I'm building all my sites based on it, so that would be a timesaver for me. ATM I have a Matrix-based setup. I've not tried PageTableExtended yet. But I'm also not convinced of the Matrix setup... So I would be happy to hear your thoughts and considerations on this topic.

If this sort of thing gets implemented in GitLab and the whole self-hosted sphere, it will be interesting: Implement cross-server (federated) merge requests (+ see related issues) Btw. if someone is wondering why people are alarmed: https://jacquesmattheij.com/what-is-wrong-with-microsoft-buying-github

Dear All, I'm really proud to show you my first site done with ProcessWire! ❤️ It's called "In bianco e Nerd" and it's the official site of a very active italian nerd community. This is the url: https://inbiancoenerd.com/ Actually it's a quite complex website, I'm using different templates for almost every section and a huge part of the code is dynamic (for example on the single posts i can choose from the backend to move down the title, i can change completely the header, the colors and the featured image). Then there's a special section (https://inbiancoenerd.com/links-fighi/) that is a link gallery where i post cool stuff and you can filter the results using Algolia. And...it's full of easter eggs too ? HOMEPAGE LINK GALLERY SINGLE POST SKILLS Right now i'm using these modules: - AdminOnSteroids - ColorPicker - ProFields - Social Share Buttons - And the wondeful ProCache (it works like a charm) ❤️ - And soon I'll use ImageOptim too ? Server/hosting: Cloudways (DigitalOcean) + Cloudflare ProcessWire: 3.0.105 Hope you like it! Please let me know your thoughts! Right now i'm trying to promote ProcessWire in Italy because, in my personal opinion, it's one of the best CMS i've ever tried in the last 15 years of my career. So, thank you so much for this fantastic tool and thank you all for this amazing community.

Thank you. Yes, I am working on it sporadically. I'm not quite sure yet what it is or is going to be. ;-) It's a "setup" currently. It consists of modules like - A version of PageTableExtended but for grids - A version of the PageFrontEdit, but for the backend. - An InputField for Bootstrap 4 settings. Then it needs a specialized version of Bootstrap CSS which does not interfere with the PW backend CSS. And some (PageTable) templates which contain the code for Bootstrap items like Cards, Jumbotron, Carousel etc. What I have is more a prototype or a "proof of concept" than something which is to be released soon. But it works rather well. ;-) Currently I am trying to implement nested columns.

You're welcome. The GH editor is showing me spaces in some places, and so the indentation appears inconsistent. I wasn't actually aware of a style guide for PW (I've now seen it). I tend to stick to PSR1 and 2 along with the following configuration:

This is such a great module; recently I used it to create custom action buttons on my calendar/futuremail app; Send or preview the email message for the future mail: send or preview a calendar event, which is typed by a chosen template (e.g. event, lesson reminder, etc.)

Welcome to the forums, sins7ven. This is much more comfortable and and it's simple! (I will reply more here in a few minutes, just have to do a phone call.) ------ EDIT: There are different possibilities, you can go with creating a role and a template and only allow access to pages with that template if user has a this special role. Or you could do it on template basis, what I would prefer in this situation. Because you need to build / provide a frontend login form for the press users. (I don't would send them to the backend) How to do it via template: create a new template file press.php and put it into the templates folder of your site profile in admin create a new template "press" by selecting the templatefile create a new user "press" and assign him only the guest-user create a new page "press" in PW, set it to "hidden", (you should upload all downloadable stuff to this page only!) now you have to edit your templatefile press.php as following: At first you need to check if the page is requested by a logged in user. If yes, you may check which user / which role he has, if you have different ones. But I assume you only have stuff and press and nothing more actually. // check if user is logged in if(!$user->isLoggedIn()) { // present him a login form with fields for username, password and a hidden field called "presslogin" // send the form via post ... return; // end with execution here } if($input->post->presslogin) { // a user try to login $user = $sanitizer->username( $input->post->username ); $pass = strval(strip_tags($input->post->password)); $u = $session->login($user, $pass); // try to login with the posted credentials and save result temporary in variable $u if($u) $user = $u; // if it was successfull, override the current user with the temporary one // last check if user is logged in now if(!user->isLoggedin()) { // present him the login form or what ever you like ... // and stop exeuting this page return; } } // user is already logged in, following the stuff for presenting the download listings .... If you need to check for specific users, it could be like: if(!$user->hasRole('superuser|editor') { // or if(!$user->name == 'press') { How to build a simple login form and how to use the $session->login() etc could be found here in the forums, in the API and useful is the cheatsheet.
