Not an answer really, but technically just having ProCache could help with situations like these. The idea is to bypass PHP and MySQL entirely, after all. In fact in the past I've had a situation where MySQL was dead but the site I was monitoring kept working due to ProCache, so the issue didn't become apparent for quite a while... ? Another thing to consider would be something like Cloudflare ("always on" feature in particular), or adding Squid or Varnish (or some other proxy/cache/accelerator) in front of the site.

As @teppo already mentioned: Procache or/and Cloudflare... but... If you really want to establish a static site, just use the pre-rendered files from ProCache and upload them to your host. Images/assets should already be present - to make things easier. In case of a Linux/*nix setup you might get it done with a few custom rsync/rclone/git setups to push only files that were changed/new. There is one site (a client site) I manage through ProcessWire locally, run ScreamingFrog to generate the static files and push all changes via git to the repository, which is than published by Netlify. Yes... there are a few steps involved but it's still way easier to go this way than everything else I know (Jekyll, Ghost, etc.).

I have had this module sitting in a 95% complete state for a while now and have finally made the push to get it out there. Thanks to @teppo for his Hanna Code Helper module which I referred to and borrowed from during development. http://modules.processwire.com/modules/hanna-code-dialog/ https://github.com/Toutouwai/HannaCodeDialog HannaCodeDialog Provides a number of enhancements for working with Hanna Code tags in CKEditor. The main enhancement is that Hanna tags in a CKEditor field may be double-clicked to edit their attributes using core ProcessWire inputfields in a modal dialog. Requires the Hanna Code module and >= ProcessWire v3.0.0. Installation Install the HannaCodeDialog module using any of the normal methods. For any CKEditor field where you want the "Insert Hanna tag" dropdown menu to appear in the CKEditor toolbar, visit the field settings and add "HannaDropdown" to the "CKEditor Toolbar" settings field. Module configuration Visit the module configuration screen to set any of the following: Exclude prefix: Hanna tags named with this prefix will not appear in the CKEditor toolbar dropdown menu for Hanna tag insertion. Exclude Hanna tags: Hanna tags selected here will not appear in the CKEditor toolbar dropdown menu for Hanna tag insertion. Background colour of tag widgets: you can customise the background colour used for Hanna tags in CKEditor if you like. Dialog width: in pixels Dialog height: in pixels Features Insert tag from toolbar dropdown menu Place the cursor in the CKEditor window where you want to insert your Hanna tag, then select the tag from the "Insert Hanna tag" dropdown. Advanced: if you want to control which tags appear in the dropdown on particular pages or templates you can hook HannaCodeDialog::getDropdownTags. See the forum support thread for examples . Edit tag attributes in modal dialog Insert a tag using the dropdown or double-click an existing tag in the CKEditor window to edit the tag attributes in a modal dialog. Tags are widgets Hanna tags that have been inserted in a CKEditor window are "widgets" - they have a background colour for easy identification, are protected from accidental editing, and can be moved within the text by drag-and-drop. Options for tag attributes may be defined You can define options for a tag attribute so that editors must choose an option rather than type text. This is useful for when only certain strings are valid for an attribute and also has the benefit of avoiding typos. Add a new attribute for the Hanna tag, named the same as the existing attribute you want to add options for, followed by "__options". The options themselves are defined as a string, using a pipe character as a delimiter between options. Example for an existing attribute named "vegetables": vegetables__options=Spinach|Pumpkin|Celery|Tomato|Brussels Sprout|Potato You can define a default for an attribute as normal. Use a pipe delimiter if defining multiple options as the default, for example: vegetables=Tomato|Potato Dynamic options Besides defining static options as above, you can use one Hanna tag to dynamically generate options for another. For instance, you could create a Hanna tag that generates options based on images that have been uploaded to the page, or the titles of children of the page. Your Hanna tag that generates the options should echo a string of options delimited by pipe characters (i.e. the same format as a static options string). You will probably want to name the Hanna tag that generates the options so that it starts with an underscore (or whatever prefix you have configured as the "exclude" prefix in the module config), to avoid it appearing as an insertable tag in the HannaCodeDialog dropdown menu. Example for an existing attribute named "image": image__options=[[_images_on_page]] And the code for the _images_on_page tag: <?php $image_names = array(); $image_fields = $page->fields->find('type=FieldtypeImage')->explode('name'); foreach($image_fields as $image_field) { $image_names = array_unique( array_merge($image_names, $page->$image_field->explode('name') ) ); } echo implode('|', $image_names); Choice of inputfield for attribute You can choose the inputfield that is used for an attribute in the dialog. For text attributes the supported inputfields are text (this is the default inputfield for text attributes so it isn't necessary to specify it if you want it) and textarea. Note: any manual line breaks inside a textarea are removed because these will break the CKEditor tag widget. Inputfields that support the selection of a single option are select (this is the default inputfield for attributes with options so it isn't necessary to specify it if you want it) and radios. Inputfields that support the selection of multiple options are selectmultiple, asmselect and checkboxes. You can also specify a checkbox inputfield - this is not for attributes with defined options but will limit an attribute to an integer value of 1 or 0. The names of the inputfield types are case-insensitive. Example for an existing attribute named "vegetables": vegetables__type=asmselect Descriptions and notes for inputfields You can add a description or notes to an attribute and these will be displayed in the dialog. Example for an existing attribute named "vegetables": vegetables__description=Please select vegetables for your soup. vegetables__notes=Pumpkin and celery is a delicious combination. Notes When creating or editing a Hanna tag you can view a basic cheatsheet outlining the HannaCodeDialog features relating to attributes below the "Attributes" config inputfield. Advanced Define or manipulate options in a hook You can hook HannaCodeDialog::prepareOptions to define or manipulate options for a Hanna tag attribute. Your Hanna tag must include a someattribute__options attribute in order for the hook to fire. The prepareOptions method receives the following arguments that can be used in your hook: options_string Any existing string of options you have set for the attribute attribute_name The name of the attribute the options are for tag_name The name of the Hanna tag page The page being edited If you hook after HannaCodeDialog::prepareOptions then your hook should set $event->return to an array of option values, or an associative array in the form of $value => $label. Build entire dialog form in a hook You can hook after HannaCodeDialog::buildForm to add inputfields to the dialog form. You can define options for the inputfields when you add them. Using a hook like this can be useful if you prefer to configure inputfield type/options/descriptions/notes in your IDE rather than as extra attributes in the Hanna tag settings. It's also useful if you want to use inputfield settings such as showIf. When you add the inputfields you must set both the name and the id of the inputfield to match the attribute name. You only need to set an inputfield value in the hook if you want to force the value - otherwise the current values from the tag are automatically applied. To use this hook you only have to define the essential attributes (the "fields" for the tag) in the Hanna Code settings and then all the other inputfield settings can be set in the hook. Example buildForm() hook The Hanna Code attributes defined for tag "meal" (a default value is defined for "vegetables"): vegetables=Carrot meat cooking_style comments The hook code in /site/ready.php: $wire->addHookAfter('HannaCodeDialog::buildForm', function(HookEvent $event) { // The Hanna tag that is being opened in the dialog $tag_name = $event->arguments(0); // Other arguments if you need them /* @var Page $edited_page */ $edited_page = $event->arguments(1); // The page open in Page Edit $current_attributes = $event->arguments(2); // The current attribute values $default_attributes = $event->arguments(3); // The default attribute values // The form rendered in the dialog /* @var InputfieldForm $form */ $form = $event->return; if($tag_name === 'meal') { $modules = $event->wire('modules'); /* @var InputfieldCheckboxes $f */ $f = $modules->InputfieldCheckboxes; $f->name = 'vegetables'; // Set name to match attribute $f->id = 'vegetables'; // Set id to match attribute $f->label = 'Vegetables'; $f->description = 'Please select some vegetables.'; $f->notes = "If you don't eat your vegetables you can't have any pudding."; $f->addOptions(['Carrot', 'Cabbage', 'Celery'], false); $form->add($f); /* @var InputfieldRadios $f */ $f = $modules->InputfieldRadios; $f->name = 'meat'; $f->id = 'meat'; $f->label = 'Meat'; $f->addOptions(['Pork', 'Beef', 'Chicken', 'Lamb'], false); $form->add($f); /* @var InputfieldSelect $f */ $f = $modules->InputfieldSelect; $f->name = 'cooking_style'; $f->id = 'cooking_style'; $f->label = 'How would you like it cooked?'; $f->addOptions(['Fried', 'Boiled', 'Baked'], false); $form->add($f); /* @var InputfieldText $f */ $f = $modules->InputfieldText; $f->name = 'comments'; $f->id = 'comments'; $f->label = 'Comments for the chef'; $f->showIf = 'cooking_style=Fried'; $form->add($f); } }); Troubleshooting HannaCodeDialog includes and automatically loads the third-party CKEditor plugins Line Utilities and Widget. If you have added these plugins to your CKEditor field already for some purpose and experience problems with HannaCodeDialog try deactivating those plugins from the CKEditor field settings.

If it's not that urgent @elabx I can write up my setup this weekend to show you the process I established for that project. I would consider git as the established bridge to get this done. Would that work for you? In total I think it's not that much of an overhead and for experienced PW users kind of a perfect way to create static sites. @ryan pushed me into this direction with one if his comments a while back. I tried it and played around with it. And to be honest... the outcome was quite impressive.

I'm using this now on a site that needs that extra level of metadata. It's working great. Thank you.

If you update to module version 0.9.0 (latest release), you can ? More details here: https://github.com/teppokoivula/SearchEngine#rebuilding-the-search-index. Note that indexing the pages is also possible via module config screen. There's an option for "Manual indexing", where you can either index all indexable pages, or those matching a specific selector.

Updated to the latest version and also you fixed the items url's not including the rooturl, cheers for that! Now I can also translate without problems, thank you for correcting errors in such a short notice! +1 recommendation for this mod.

Added a note about new maintainer to the top of the first post, and updated the "grab the code" link. Might make some sense to rewrite the first post altogether, but the forum doesn't (as far as I know) allow replacing it, so creating a new support thread might make sense as well ?

Hi @Neo, I gave a quick view to your virtual host conf file and it seems ok. However I see you are using SSL and virtual host:80 automatically rewrites to https. I guess you just did not mention, but just to double check... do you have a second virtual host for https? I have a second virtual host:443, which, if I well recall was created by Letsencrypt with a name similar to example.com-le-ssl.conf, and that also needs to be enabled. You may wish to have a look at apache error.log/access.log as this could help to identify what is the cause of the problem. Last question, is PW installed in the root directory (likely ?) or in a subdirectory?

This is a very old stemming library now so I expect there are better, but I have been using it in production for about 13 years ? so if you don't find anything better, here it is: https://tartarus.org/martin/PorterStemmer/php.txt

People should boycott FB - and any other similar sites for that matter - for their own good anyway.

Thanks for reporting this. I'm not quite sure why the Modules Directory won't recognise the module version properly, but I've now updated it manually and so far it seems to stick. The info JSON examples at the API ref show a format that isn't actually supported by ProcessWire itself, so it's a possible that this is a bug in the modules directory parser ?

Great to hear that it works now. The problem with automating this is that I don't want to assume which templates should become searchable. That being said, I could add an install-time setting to pick templates to add this field to, or alternatively a module config setting that fetches this info real-time from templates. I think that'd be a pretty nice solution overall, so I've added that to my to-do list. There was – it just wasn't working quite as expected ? I hadn't tested this properly: translatable strings were defined and cached too early during the module's bootup sequence, with the result that the language of the user wasn't actually set yet, and thus you always ended up with the default (english) versions. This should be fixed in the latest release, 0.6.2. There's a basic demo here with most public-facing search-related terms translated: https://wireframe-framework.com/haku/. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for digging out these issues!

Thx Teppo, that module will be a great contribution! ? Maybe you could already think of different frameworks so that others can add default markup for different frameworks easily in separate folders? Maybe just define a path where the module should take files to render, then we could have some examples in the module itself, like /site/modules/SearchEngine/tpl/uikit/head|entry|foot.php or /site/templates/search/head|entry|foot.php

Thanks for this!! I think this is one thing that is much more important today because you have to add image credits to the site. So this should be part of the core.

Nice module - I also wait for custom properties very hard. It's on the roadmap since late 2017. I hope @ryan has some time for this soon.

I use the following in /site/modules/InputfieldCKEditor/config.js to disallow inline styles. CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config ) { config.disallowedContent = '*{*}'; // All styles disallowed };

Thanks again for the hook code @ryan - it works perfectly, with just one minor change - we added a question mark to stop the regular expression being greedy. It was replacing everything between the opening of the first style on the page and the closing of the last style of the page. $value = preg_replace('/\bstyle=(["\'])([^\1]+?)\1/i', '', $value, -1, $qty); It's a great workaround until they fix the bug in CKEditor. I'll keep an eye out for the next core update. ?

I think they are referring to a Drupal setting that maps to CKEditor's config.fullPage, for editing a full HTML document? That's not something we use. Though it's possible I'm missing something. I noticed CKEditor 4 is now up to version 4.9.2 (we are on 4.8.0). Maybe they have fixed the issue in CKE. I'm going to update to 4.9.2 in PW core 3.0.107 this week, hopefully that'll help.

I've run into this problem on a client site before. I was never able to duplicate it myself, but noticed there were style attributes ending up in the CKE field of my client's site somehow, and the client said they pasted from Word. I don't have Word, and I'm not observing the issue occurring with pasting from anything else, so there must be some Microsoft trickery going on, who knows. I don't understand why CKE's ACF allows it. It does seem like a CKE bug. I'm sure it's possible to configure HTML Purifier to remove that stuff, but haven't looked too closely into it. While there is a way to force CKE to paste as plain text (see thread that flydev linked), I don't really like losing links and normal CKE formatting when I paste, because I'm often pasting from one CKE field to another, and having to redo all the formatting is a pain. Usually if I want to paste as plain text, I just use SHIFT-CMD-V on Mac (SHIFT-CTRL-V on PC), as this is a pretty universal way to paste as plain text, anywhere. But the reality is, clients aren't likely to remember it, and many are doing Edit > Paste, rather than using the keyboard. I'd rather not have the client have to think about whether they need to use plain text pasting or not. A simple way to remove style attributes from CKE fields is to hook after the process input, look for them, and then remove them. This hook at the top of your /site/templates/admin.php file should do the trick: $wire->addHookAfter('InputfieldCKEditor::processInput', function($event) { $inputfield = $event->object; $value = $inputfield->attr('value'); if(strpos($value, 'style=') === false) return; $qty = 0; $value = preg_replace('/\bstyle=(["\'])([^\1]+?)\1/i', '', $value, -1, $qty); if(!$qty) return; $inputfield->attr('value', $value); $inputfield->trackChange('value'); $inputfield->warning("Stripped $qty style attribute(s) from field $inputfield->name"); }); Word may be adding some other weirdness too, but I don't have a good example to look at to know what else there might be (MSO-specific class names?). In any case, we could probably remove it in a similar manner.
