This week we’ll take a look at LoginRegisterPro — a new module that provides an all-in-one, self contained module for providing new user registration, secure logins, profile editing, and more. It does this all in a manner that is reliable, efficient, comprehensive and secure. As we continue preparing the ProcessWire core dev branch to become our new master, I've been trying to stay hands-off on new feature additions there as much as possible (till the new master is out), and instead focusing on finishing up modules I've had in development. Last time I told you about the UserActivity module, and this time we’ll look at LoginRegisterPro, which is another module dealing with users; though significantly larger in scale/scope. LoginRegisterPro is a module I've been working on for more than a year, and finally this month have it ready to share. While I don't have it available for download today I do expect to have a beta release as soon as early next week. Read this week’s post for more details— https://processwire.com/blog/posts/login-register-pro/

@adrian @eydun Made some progress and have a working version that is compatible with @Macrura's Settings Factory module. I switched to handling my field value as json. Haven't published the version yet as I'm planning on incorporating it into the yet to be developed new ImagePicker module. If you want to have a peek, I can publish it to a separate branch on github. Just let me know. First I was in doubt about using json for the field runtime value and for storage. But now I'm confident that this is the way I will go with the new ImagePicker module. So that one will be compatible with Settings Factory. The next days I will be working on combining this module and my ImagePicker (pick from folder) into one with the additional feature of letting the user choose an image from the page this field liveson. The resulting module will be released under the name ImagePicker. Hope I can get it out before Xmas.

Hello All, This is just simple thought of mine over a simple a WordPress work I had to take recently. I am just discussing how I felt about WordPress is falling apart on the Content Management. My Article is here P:S :- My blog is still uses WordPress ?

I think "2" for sure. I think the thumbnails should be as you currently have them when there is more than one page with available images - in collapsed inputfields - one for a defined filepath, one for the current page, and one for each of the other available pages - which of these are shown of course will depend on the field's settings.

Sure... tell more about you, your company, your sites, your needs... and there will be plenty of talented ProcessWire developers that like to help you.

I did this as @psy mentioned using those two modules. In my implementation I allowed my client to upload to folders in dropbox and in Processwire assign users access to specific folders (and the files within). On the frontend I would present the logged in user on the site with thier folder and files the client was sharing with them -> this was for promotional materials but could be anything really.

FYI - @Noboru and I am just trying to solve the problem via PN chat (in German language). After I have fixed this, I'll post back the infos here!

After giving it some more thought, I decided to merge the 2 modules and call the resulting ImagePicker. One thing I'm not sure yet how to best approach it: 1. should the options for choosing images from pages/folder/current page be exclusive, so that only 1 option can be set per field? Or 2. should it be possible to choose all 3 I guess, 2 makes more sense. The challenge will be to make the UI/UX of the inputfield lean, clear and easy to deal with. Instead of having the thumbnails underneath the preview image, I think with that many possible sources for images, it will be better to present them in a modal window.

It’s hard to tell when the first release version will be ready. I’m currently struggling with the custom taxes provider which will allow a very flexible VAT handling for all countries worldwide. I’m in contact with the Snipcart team, because I’m having problems with shipping taxes ... When the taxes provider is finished, the biggest part is done and I should be able to release a first beta. And thanks for the hint with the donation button! ?

@rick, @d'Hinnisdaël, @cb2004, @szabesz Thanks for your input! So the coming PW master version will be the minimum required by SnipWire. This will make things definitely easier for me...

EDIT: all development and discussion of this module has been moved to Module FieldtypeImagePicker which now contains all features of this module and more. This module will not be maintained any further. The information below remains for pure historical reasons. I am happy to present my new fieldtype FieldtypeImageFromPage. It is made up of 2 modules: Fieldtype Image Reference From Another Page is a Fieldtype that stores a reference to a single image from another page. The image can be selected with the associated Inputfield. Inputfield Select Image From Page is an Inputfield to select a single image from images on a predefined page and it's children. And there also is a helper module that takes care of cleanup tasks. This module evolved out of a discussion about my other Module FieldtypeImagePicker. It caters for use cases where a set of images is being reused multiple times across a site. With this fieldtype these images can be administered through a chosen page. All images uploaded to that page will be available in the inputfield. When to use ? Let editors choose an image from a set of images that is being used site-wide. Ideal for images that are being re-used across the site. Suited for images that are used on multiple pages throughout the site (e.g. icons). Other than the native ProcessWire images field, the images here are not stored per page. Only references to images on another page are stored. This has several advantages: one central place to organize images when images change, you only have to update them in one place. All references will be updated, too. (Provided the name of the image that has changed stays the same) Features Images can be manipulated like native ProcessWire images (resizing, cropping etc.) Image names are fully searchable through the API Accidental image deletion is prevented. When you want to delete an image from one of the pages that hold your site-wide images, the module searches all pages that use that image. If any page contains a reference to the image you are trying to delete, deletion will be prevented. You will get an error message to help you edit those pages and remove references there before you can finally delete the image. How to install and setup Download and install this module like any other modules in ProcessWire Create a page in the page tree that will hold your images. This page's template must have an images field Upload some images to the page you created in step 2 Create a new field. As type choose 'Image Reference From Another Page'. Save the field. In 'Details' Tab of the field choose the page you created in step 2 Click Save button Choose the images field name for the field that holds your images (on page template from step 2) Click Save button again Choose whether you want to include child pages of page from step 2 to supply images Add the field to any template You are now ready to use the field View of the inputfield on the page edit screen: View of the field settings The module can be installed from this github repo. Some more info in the README there, too. In my tests it was fairly stable. After receiving your valued feedback, I will eventually add it to the modules directory. My ideas for further improvement: - add ajax loading of thumbnails Happy to hear your feedback!

@dragan yea I know it's hookable. Trying to find optimal solution. Seams like module is excellent solution. Will post result.

I've never tried to add a custom page list action myself, but it definitely seems possible, since it's hookable. I've found a few forum threads that could get you on the right track: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/10254-custom-page-actions/ https://processwire.com/talk/topic/2203-right-hook-right-after-the-pagelistactions/ https://processwire.com/talk/topic/14235-added-custom-action-but-it-doesnt-do-nothing/

cool! Image picking has been an issue with SettingsFactory... so this will be great ?. I'll check it out and do some testing asap!

That sounds great, thx @gebeer

The current float sanitizer should have options like 'localeAware' (true/false) and 'decimalSeparator' (,/.)

A new install, but I am working on the site in a new environment. BCE seems to export fine on the live site, but locally I keep getting the same error even after removing and reinstalling BCE, clearing cache, checking permissions... Since it's working as it should on the live site, I feel I'm wasting your time with a configuration issue. I'll have to take a closer look at what's going on. But thank you for now ?

Hello @gebeer Great work, and thank you for two much needed modules! I second the idea to merge both modules into one killer-module, if it is possible? (the name ImagePicker would be a good and suitable name for the combined module). But this is of course for you to decide ?

BTW, when can we expect that to happen? Sounds like sooner than the end of December maybe? Is it going to be the first production ready version? Thanks for sharing all your hard work, and do not forget to ship it with a "Donation button".

+1 As for the config being confusing / overwhelming, it could be solved via step-by-step guides in the readme file, especially if it has screenshots to showcase all three setups.

Hello and thanks for reply ? @MilenKo thanks for idea about html. According to your idea the body_html field becomes an element content. Sounds good I want to try ? For a diagram visualization simpe it is https://www.draw.io/ You can add this "app" to your google drive if yuo want ?

@Pete @ryan I can not login into the Developer directory https://directory.processwire.com/login/. After entering my credentials, I am being redirected to the URL "http://login/" which is wrong. I want to change the information about me, so it would be nice, if this could be fixed. Duplicate of:

Definitely NOT an out-of-the-box solution to your specific requirement but there is this module which may be a good starting point: It acts as a wrapper for the Dropbox API, giving you access to Dropbox features such as uploading to folder(s), user access, etc in conjunction with @benbyf's https://github.com/benbyford/InputfieldDropbox

Hi @k07n. Yes, I am OK, thanks ?. I do have some good news but cannot share it now. There was a bit of a rethink about the GUI/UX but we are making some great progress. Hi @Mikie I am not sure what you mean by custom data store. Currently everything will live in the site DB (i.e. accessible via ProcessWire's $database). I'd like to hear more about your line of thinking, thanks. All, sorry it's been a while since the last update. Rest assured that we are working on this as fast as we possibly can with great enthusiasm and motivation without sacrificing quality ?.
