Today we have a new master version released, version 3.0.148! The last master version was 3.0.123, so there are 25 new versions worth of upgrades, fixes and optimizations in this new master version, relative to the previous. In this post we’ll take a closer look at what’s new, how to upgrade, and more— https://processwire.com/blog/posts/pw-3.0.148-master/

ProcessWire Dashboard Download You can find the latest release on Github. Documentation Check out the documentation to get started. This is where you'll find information about included panel types and configuration options. Custom Panels The goal was to make it simple to create custom panels. The easiest way to do that is to use the panel type template and have it render a file in your templates folder. This might be enough for 80% of all use cases. For anything more complex (FormBuilder submissions? Comments? Live chat?), you can add new panel types by creating modules that extend the DashboardPanel base class. Check out the documentation on custom panels or take a look at the HelloWorld panel to get started. I'm happy to merge any user-created modules into the main repo if they might be useful to more than a few people.

ProcessRedirects missing the namespace definitely sounds like a FileCompiler issue. It's an old module and I'm pretty sure that even the latest versions don't have namespace defined (on mobile so can't check right now), but in such cases FileCompiler should kick in and store the compiled, namespaced version under cache ?

Mostly a guess, but similar issues have occurred when FileCompiler cache is empty, and then it gets populated by some cron script, after which the web server user (www-data or something else, depends on the server) doesn't have access to it. I'd start by a) making sure that FileCompiler is enabled (site config, it's enabled by default) and b) clearing FileCompiler folder under /site/assests/cache/ and making sure that it's writable for your apache user.

New version v2.0.2 is available from github. This version fixes the problems with getting thumbnails displayed via ajax. At least in my extensive testing everything was working. @LMD can you please give it a try now? While trying to fix the ajax issue, I was running in circles for hours on end. Tried various methods I found in the forum and @bernhard's hook. I always got it working as superuser but got very strange results when logged in as an editor user with page edit permissions. Until I discovered that the problems were due to my module not always loading for ajax requests. I added 'autoload' => 'template=admin' to my module info and suddenly all was working as expected. Still scratching my head why a module's init() method would get called when logged in as superuser but not when logged in as editor. Any ideas here? New in this version is the feature for uploading files to the predefined folder from within the inputfield. Here's a short preview of that feature. uploadtofolder.mp4 Now that this is working, I'm thinking about adding the ability to delete them from within the inputfield, too. As always, I shall be happy to receive your comments and issue reports ?

Hey Ryan. Great summary, thanks (and congrats!) Just noticed that the Packagist version is lagging behind – it's still showing 3.0.123 as the latest master. Would be great if you could give it a little nudge ? Seems that the connection between the GitHub repository and Packagist isn't working quite as expected, and clearly it's not just limited to the dev branch. Perhaps it needs to be re-approved or something ?

Just added a new Viewports panel based on a suggestion by @bernhard in response to this post: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/22617-sizzy-browser-developer-tool/ It's pretty basic, but gives you a quick and easy way to view and interact with your site at multiple screen viewport sizes all on the one page (panel) just by scrolling down. Currently there are 6 fixed sizes, but I can expand on these or make them configurable if you'd li Take a look and let me know what you think.

thanks - and i guess the version file needs to be updated (?).. this is working well for me; I have my own dashboard module, but it uses templates, pages and fields, and is thus cumbersome for smaller/low budget sites. My dashboard module uses AdminLTE, so it has stuff like collapsible panels with state recall; For some of the more complex panels like Formbuilder entries, etc, i'll just build custom panels and hook into this module. Thanks again for building this! This is very extensible, looks and works great, and seems like it will be a very popular module! Here's the dashboard i just threw together...

Perhaps something like this? $session->history = is_array($session->history) ? array_slice(array_unique(array_merge([$page->id], $session->history)), 0, 4) : [$page->id]; And when you're displaying the history, just skip over current page: foreach ($session->history as $page_id) { if ($page_id == $page->id) continue; $p = $pages->get($page_id); echo "<a href='{$p->url}'>{$p->title}</a><br />"; }

@teppo It's version 1.2.12 I don't know either. I've literally logged in today updated ProcessWire and started doing a bit of work. Only noticed when I went to edit a page in the backend. Thanks for the super quick fix though! ?I'll let ya know how I get on or if I see if anything has broken, haha.

Hey @alexmercenary! Which version of VersionControl are you using? I can see where the error is coming, and I don't think that line of code should've worked in years. Committed a fix, but the modules directory entry is not updated yet, so it may take a while for this to show up in the built-in module installer (seems that I've lost my password for this module and can't update it manually in the directory, I'll have to guess that first...) Not sure why this popped up only now, though – so hopefully I didn't break anything with the fix ?

Great to hear that it's working now ? As I mentioned above, in my case FileCompiler issues have usually been a result of something other than the Apache user (www-data, i.e. web requests) starting up (bootstrapping) ProcessWire and/or creating directories/files on the disk. Cron scripts or some scripts you might('ve) run manually on the server. So if you have scripts that could've bootstrapped ProcessWire or performed actions on (cache)files of the site, there's one possible culprit at least. Of course it could also be some strange server-side issue, or a configuration change somewhere (though you did say that such changes shouldn't have happened, so this does seem unlikely). You mentioned changing something in Hanna Code; while I can't think of a direct connection right away, it does seem like a curious coincidence. Hanna Code writes files under cache as well, but it really shouldn't have any effect on FileCompiler... but it could be a combination of multiple things, who knows ?‍♂️

OK, I cleared FileCompiler. Any ideas why it would suddenly go awry? (BTW, I should add that it all seems to be working now. Thanks for the quick responses!)

set debug to true then tell us the file which trigger this error. You certainly have a call to that class bad typed. let's see. Where we should look at ?

I had once considered vanilla forums since I tested their very embedding which seemed pretty straightforward. https://success.vanillaforums.com/kb/articles/67-embedding-your-forum

@matjazp I added a release that adds the margins back in for the default admin theme. Concerning the user name display: I can't reproduce that on the current master version (3.0.148) with AdminThemeDefault. However, the latest release only displays 'Welcome' without a comma if the user name comes out empty. Why it would be empty, I don't know, since it's working fine here.

This is what I wanted:

Hi @Vigilante, I think the syntax should be $item->template. Read the below page and look for template. https://processwire.com/api/ref/page/ Gideon

Why do you need to post values, which are no longer editable though? Should this not work just fine with the field disabled / not rendered as inoutfield?

@Macrura Shortcut URLs I have pushed a release that treats strings as URLs so that any of the following options should work: [ 'shortcuts' => [ // Page $this->pages->get(1132), // Page ID 1020, // Overwrite page title 'New things' => 1020, // Set custom URL 'Backups' => "{$config->urls->admin}setup/db-backups/backup/", ], ] Profile page icon Check out the PageIcon module which lets you set custom icons for every page. Hooks in admin.php That's strange. Do you have any other hooks in admin.php that work? I have tons of hooks there and never had a problem. $config->styles True, I don't use the styles array myself so I haven't run into this. Will research a fix.
