In this post we preview a new feature coming in ProcessWire 3.0.108, which is a major upgrade to our live search feature in the admin. In this update, PW’s search becomes a lot more versatile and powerful while remaining just as easy to use. Plus, there are some fun and useful power-user features that we’ll cover here too. https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-3.0.108-preview/

Hey guys, Thought I would share a quick preview of Designme. A module we (Eduardo @elabx and I) are building for visually laying out your templates/edit screens. ? This is a really quick, zero polish screen grab. FYI. Video #2 - UPDATE This new video shows the following features in Designme: Re-arranging fields via Drag & Drop Re-sizing fields via Dragging. Adjusting field settings - with live refresh. Working on "hidden" fields while Designme is active. Creating New fields. Deleting fields. Creating/Deleting Tabs. Dragging fields between tabs. Creating fieldsets. Tagging/Un-tagging fields. Fields without headers expand when hovered (like checkboxes). Live filtering of fields in the sidebar. Ability to adjust (all) Template settings without leaving Designme. Template File Tree Editing Template files source code with ACE Editor. Editing Multiple files with ACE Editor. (New Tabs) Saving files. Techie stuff Fields load their own js/css dependancies. *ready to use on creation (*most fields) Everything happens via Ajax to ProcessPageEdit (via module + hooks). Designme has a JS api that you can use. All actions trigger events. We would love any detailed feedback on what you see so far. If you are interested in testing Designme. Let me know below. ? Video #1.

I'm proud to share this newly released custom-made website with you. Musikschule Neumünster https://www.musikschule-neumuenster.de/ Design details The design was built from ground up to give every aspect and every detail of the website its very own unique look. We faced the demand to create a visual experience that is up to date but kind of classic at the same time. A fact you can't describe but you will feel and see it when visiting the website. ? Technical details From top to bottom every detail can be managed in the backend - all instruments, tutors, events, and content pages. In order to make life easier some things are automated (for example: archiving older events or managing the relationship between tutor and instrument). Modules and time-savers ProCache Croppable Image 3 PagefieldPairs MarkupSitemap Hanna Code Jumplinks I hope you enjoy the result as much as we* do. * A little side note to reduce confusion: I'm partner and the developer of Muskaat (design and development bureau based in Neumünster, Germany).

Ok then go to Software/Services section of the cPanel home screen, click Select PHP Version and select the version you want (you should use the last stable release). For the extension (you need to enable pdo_mysql extension here), it should be located in PHP Settings or something like that. Please refer to your host's online documentation.

Hi, looking at the phpinfo, there is not a PDO extension loaded. Ensure that the required extension are loaded - locate and check the php.ini for the following extension and uncomment it if needed : ;extension=pdo_mysql.so Updating this file or enabling an extension can be done in different way, please give us more info about the host (server managed by a Panel ? lamp on vps/ssh, etc). Also, as the hosting provider updated their configuration, you could check if everything required by ProcessWire is installed/loaded by running the first step of this file : Download https://github.com/flydev-fr/Duplicator/blob/master/Deploy/installer.php Upload the file on the root directory Navigate to http://yourwebsite.foo/installer.php Click on "Get Started" and check the "Step #1 - Compatibility Check" result

Hi all, Introducing a new GDPR Cookie Management Banner module. https://github.com/adrianbj/CookieManagementBanner https://modules.processwire.com/modules/cookie-management-banner/ This module was sponsored by VentureWeb in Squamish, BC, Canada. I converted a Drupal module written by Oliver Walker from VentureWeb into what you see here. The Drupal module requires jQuery so at the moment, this module also requires jQuery. I will probably remove this sometime soon. This module certainly has similarities to MarkupCookieConsent but provides the user with the following features: The user can accept all cookies or they can choose to not accept tracking/marketing cookies. Module config options allow you to: define all text and button labels (multi-language support) manually increment the cookie policy version which forces the user to review their consent again select whether users can manage their cookies, or just accept all option to limit display of banner to users only in European Union (by IP address) position selection (top or bottom overlay, or content pushed down from the top) It comes with basic default styling which is easily overwritten by site CSS The module sets various values to the dataLayer array which works together with Google Tag Manager - please read through the code in /assets/js/CookieManagementBanner.js to get a better idea of how this works and what is made available for GTM. You can wrap your tracking/marketing cookie code in a check for the localstorage key of: pwcmbAllowCookies if(localStorage.getItem('pwcmbAllowCookies') == 'y') You can also provide a link on your site (probably in the footer) like this that will allow the user to show the banner even after they have saved their preferences / accepted. <a href="#cookies" class="js-pwcmb-notice-toggle">Manage Your Cookies</a> Would love to hear feedback from anyone who gives this a go.

DEPRECATED If you are interested in the new version (commercial module launching in 2023) write me a PM --- Some of you might have followed the development of this module here: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/15524-previewdiscussion-rockdatatables/ . It is the successor of "RockDataTables" and requires RockFinder to get the data for the grid easily and efficiently. It uses the open source part of agGrid for grid rendering. WHY? ProcessWire is awesome for creating all kinds of custom backend applications, but where it is not so awesome in my opinion is when it comes to listing this data. Of course we have the built in page lister and we have ListerPro, but none of that solutions is capable of properly displaying large amounts of data, for example lists of revenues, aggregations, quick and easy sorts by the user, instant filter and those kind of features. RockGrid to the rescue ? Features/Highlights: 100k+ rows Instant (client side) filter, search, sort (different sort based on data type, eg "lower/greater than" for numbers, "contains" for strings) extendable via plugins (available plugins at the moment: fullscreen, csv export, reload, batch-processing of data, column sum/statistics, row selection) all the agGrid features (cell renderers, cell styling, pagination, column grouping etc) vanilla javascript, backend and frontend support (though not all plugins are working on the frontend yet and I don't plan to support it as long as I don't need it myself) Limitations: While there is an option to retrieve data via AJAX the actual processing of the grid (displaying, filtering, sorting) is done on the client side, meaning that you can get into troubles when handling really large datasets of several thousands of rows. agGrid should be one of the most performant grid options in the world (see the official example page with a 100k row example) and does a lot to prevent problems (such as virtual row rendering), but you should always have this limitation in mind as this is a major difference to the available lister options that do not have this limitation. Currently it only supports AdminThemeUikit and I don't plan to support any other admin theme.

Contribute: You can contribute to the development of this and other modules or just say thank you by testing, reporting issues and making PRs at gitlab liking this post buying me a drink: paypal.me/baumrock/5 liking my facebook page: facebook.com/baumrock hiring me for pw work: baumrock.com Support: Please note that this module might not be as easy and plug&play as many other modules. It needs a good understanding of agGrid (and JavaScript in general) and it likely needs some looks into the code to get all the options. Please understand that I can not provide free support for every request here in the forum. I try to answer all questions that might also help others or that might improve the module but for individual requests I offer paid support (please contact me via PM). Use Cases / Examples: Colored grid cells, Icons, Links etc. The Grid also has a "batcher" feature built in that helps communicating with the server via AJAX and managing resource intensive tasks in batches: Filters, PW panel links and instant reload on panel close: You can combine the grid with a chart library like I did with the (outdated) RockDataTables module:

Hi Everyone, Today I am delighted to share my new product that we have created with Processwire. It's a verification system, that binds together a physical address with website. I’m using Processwire nearly from the beginning and I still believe that it is one of the greatest open-source platforms that exist. Being thankful I’m pleased to provide the service of Verikey verification to the Processwire community (and websites that you did) for free. Forever. Visit verikey.com Gift code: ###### (please, request by direct message) Feedback and questions are really appreciated. Many thanks my Mom, @ryan, @soma, @adrian and all Processwire contributors. Cheers, Alexander UPD: While subscription Stripe requires a valid bank card details. It’s a formality by Stripe for all subscriptions. The Verikey service remains 100% free and out of charge with the provided voucher code.

Basic implementation of the Simple MDE as an Inputfield. https://simplemde.com/ Module developed in reply to request from @OrganizedFellow (https://processwire.com/talk/topic/13474-found-a-handy-js-based-markdown-editor/) Modules Directory: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/inputfield-simple-mde/ Github: https://github.com/outflux3/InputfieldSimpleMDE Editor example: Preview mode: Frontend output (using Markdown/Parsedown textformatter and Image Tags) Limitations etc: This has been tested with multiple instances on 1 page and seems to work fine. Toolbar is not configurable, but you can edit the JS file; In the spirit of keeping this simple, there are no module settings. If you want the spellchecker, you can enable it in the JS file. If is seems that there is a need for configurable instances, it could be added, but so far this works fine and can't see any reason to complicate it further.

This is rad!

oh thx!

Simply amazing, Joshua and Eduardo...!!

@Alexander Just in case you are not aware of it: PW utf8 Normalisation Textformatter (but I suspect you are.)

Here you go https://github.com/processwire/processwire/commit/c7dfb37a7ece9d1a2e0369a92263e7c18663502a Looks like it was fixed in 3.0.100

I think this was a bug in a past version of Processwire that has been fixed. What version are you running?

Thank you, @tooth-paste. The PagefieldPairs module keeps the mapping between tutor:instrument, tutor:ensemble and vice versa in sync. So editors can either add tutors to an instrument/ensemble or add instruments/ensembles to a tutor. This detail seems small at first but it's crucial. Keeping this in sync makes changes much easier and reduces the risk to miss a tutor/instrument/ensemble somewhere and it doesn't matter where this detail gets changed.

Well I'm a starter only but it's fun, and knowing you can any time run tests to ensure everything is OK is invaluable.

I use one, but haven't released it yet; started documenting it here... https://outflux3.gitbooks.io/markup-theme-engine/content/

Maybe a little offtopic, maybe not (and short as I'm on mobile): I was thinking about something like a Frontend Framework several times. Not a theme or a profile. A framework that helps you with the tedious tasks (like including assets in the markup, seo, less compiling, page builder setup etc). Something that brings some kind of structure/Standard (and reusability) to the frontend as well and makes creating the basic setup even faster. But I always end up thinking that it would only be one way of doing it (for example I would build it for the uikit framework) and in the end it would only be useful to me and not to others. Can'treally explain why but I really don't like site profiles. Especially not when it comes to keeping them up to date. That's why I created PW Kickstart. It always grabs the current version and you can easily customize the setup to your needs. If we had a frontend framework that made it easy (basically meaning making it one click) to install common components (like blog, seo, page builder, widgets) that would sometimes be great. But on the other hand that's just not how pw works. At least not yet. If course we have modules, but they are always decoupled from the frontend. IMHO it would be great to have another option of modules that modify the Backend AND the frontend. Looking forward to hearing your opinions. Have a nice weekend ?

This. I think these two statements summ it up pretty well – @Knubbi's post is totally legit imho. Those who argue otherwhise (expect for @bernhard's point of PW becoming more popular not beeing a goal at all) miss the point I guess – yes you can do all things with PW and, yes we don't want a Drupal front-end-hell and for sure no second WP – BUT for people looking into PW there could be better ways to start: I think @joshuag provied a solution that has both worlds – but it involves both Developers and Ryan. A strong Site-Profile market: Profile should have a well visible market where they could also be sold … directly integrated into the PW setup and processwire.com Like Themes (which are often bundling other modules f.e. shopiing funcitonality etc.) they could be very powerfull, within their provided scope of Templates and Fields, as are WP Themes – Site Profiles come with the dependencies they need: for example Blog functionality etc. and provide a fast starting point for those who need what the profile combines. At the same time, they stay true to PW as they are just ready-made implementations of PW, not bloating the core or changing the way PW works One can still start with a blank site I think, what we miss is, that WP does not really work any different – there is a system and then there are some Themes on top of it providing basic functionality – But only well integrated with the Base-System. As soon as you want to add this or that – it requires manual work or it might look goofy or breaks stuff. We have the same situation with PW Profiles: We don't have to change the way PW works, what we need is strong support for readymade Sites, coming together with a few PW-Templates and Fields. Now this is not where most of us work as @joshuag said – but its a totally valid market and could easily life side by side with those crafting sites from the blank slate.

You may or may not know the templates created over at Styleshout.com. As a fan of the work I decided to create a site profile based on the latest template Sublime. Just in case you ask: I talked to Erwin from Styleshout about the idea and he was totally fine with it. There are no major changes compared to the official version of that template - just some CSS tweaks. The whole site profile was created without any 3rd party ProcessWire modules and comes with sample (lorem ipsum) content and free stock photos. Details about used fonts, scripts and images can be seen over at the Sublime template details page. If you decide to use this site profile please keep in mind that you keep at least the Styleshout link in the footer of that page - my link can be removed. ? Is this site profile ready for usage? Sure. It will work and can be customized and updated with your content straight away. There is even a SEO tab if you want to play that Google-game. Right now I would say it's more of a good looking easy entrance to the ProcessWire world. All template code is quite verbose and easy to understand for beginners. By now all site profile files are located over at Github: https://github.com/webmanufaktur/pw-sublime That's all Folks - feel free to play around with this site profile. Let me know what you would do different or what should be changed. Bugs, questions, anything? Let me know. Screenshots Pages or sections created in the backend. Choose and sort those sections for the front page. SEO if you want Auto-generated navigation based on sections. Global settings What will or might come in the future? I plan to create more site profiles in the future - all based on pre-made HTML templates that are available for free. If you know other templates or would like to see one of them as a site profile, please let me know. Maybe I can spare an hour or two.

The "Restore" tab is now supported. I have also added a new option that lets you display the name field in the Content tab if you have hidden the Settings tab - default is not to show it though.

Yes, is it standard when it is an opt-out. But with opt-in this behavior should be different i think (i.e. do nothing or disable cookies).

it's actually super smooth in real life. I don't know why it looks all jaggy on the video ?

Wordpress has one thing different than ProcessWire, which enables them to have such a high quality default theme: Just three types of data, where two are quite similar. It‘s post, pages and comments. The rest is wysiwyg content all the way. In Processwire we don‘t have that and the power of it comes from not having that. Wordpress themes are just pretty frontends for a nearly non changing backend structure, which it had for years. In ProcessWire the first thing you probably do is creating your own content types (templates) and that‘s what no default theme can cater for. How should it know how to display that random blob of data you decided is a entity in websites domain? So there‘s not much incentive to spend a great amount of money on a high quality theme, which is unusable for just about any reasonable usage of processwire beyond „first impression“ after installation.

Hi, ProcessWire does not compete with the WordPress market... Thank the lord. ProcessWire is for developers with basic to advanced knowladge who need a tool to make their vision a reality, easier. A framework. Much like jQuery. You must have some knowledge of JavaScript to fully understand jQuery. Just like if you were to develop for WordPress, you'll need PHP knowledge. Well, unless you are looking to sell themes. I don't know why a PHP developer would touch WordPress. ProcessWire's API is so much easier. So to answer your question, in ProcessWire you start here - http://php.net/docs.php then here - https://processwire.com/docs/ In WordPress you start here - https://wordpress.org/plugins/ then here - https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked Edit: Notice how the 'My site was hacked' question was in the Frequently Asked Question section... Should it really be a frequently asked question? Because I don't think I've seen it asked once on the ProcessWire forum. Edit2: Most people here just use the blank profile and see the other profiles as bloat.

Installing the zip (either from URL or Upload), rather than manually unzipping takes care of this stuff for you ?

What I would really like to see is more expanded multilanguage support in the core as 95% of my sites is ML. Very often I need to have some pages available only in non-default languages and every time I have to reinvent the wheel with custom logic. Almost in all modern CMSs (Statamic, Craft, October ..) you can separately publish or unpublish pages for every language even default. There are @adrian's module and request which intended to solve this issue via a module, but as I said, I think that it should be in core.
