I hope you are having a good week and staying healthy with all that’s going on with this Coronavirus pandemic. Here in Atlanta, they have closed the schools indefinitely, so I’ve got my kids with me during the work days for awhile, which started this week. That might slow me down with work and development here, but hopefully not too much. It might also take me a little longer than usual to respond to messages temporarily, as I get used to the new schedule. It’s a nice change of pace to have the kids home during the day, even if it slows work a bit. Thankfully everyone here is healthy and we don’t yet know of anyone being sick. But then again, nobody is apparently able to get tested for it, so who knows. It sounds like the whole world is dealing with this, I hope you and your families stay healthy and safe. I’m still working on the same client project I’ve been working on here for months, and of course doing it all in ProcessWire. This week the client project needed to do a lot with user-submitted comments, and I had to make a lot of major upgrades to ProcessWire’s comments system in order to accommodate them. Most of these upgrades are related to API improvements and making the comments field able to better handle completely custom markup for both comments and the forms to submit them. (Commit details). A couple new classes were added, and existing classes went through major refactoring. While there have been some nice API additions as well, there aren’t any breaking changes to the existing API, so it should all keep working as it always has. I’m not going to bump the core version this week because, as major as the additions were, I don’t think they will matter much to most existing installations, so there's little reason to upgrade for most. So I’ll continue plugging away here and save the version update for when there are some more things to share as well, hopefully next week. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.

Hi Jim Bailie of @Davis Harrison Dion, if you not already have noticed, Pete lately has worked on the developer directory and everything seems to be working fine now. Even (later) changes of the content and the approval processes are working well again.

Below 1% with a functional health system. In italy the health system collapsed and the death rate there is about 3-5%

I live on the countryside too, but I had to travel to another town to restock toilet paper on Friday because every single one of our eight supermarkets and drug stores was out of stock. I finally got a pack (one out of the last three) in a neighbor town. People are hoarding like crazy. I saw a few customers with trolleys heaped with paper towels and pasta. Stupid. But if you look at the run for toilet paper, you know what's in their minds... But yes, most people around here are both realistic and calm, thankfully. At work, we have a revolving home office schedule now in most departments to make sure that we can have staff on site in case those present at the office have to quarantine. Business is slowing down because negotiation meetings can't happen in person. But all that (as always in changing circumstances) means more work for our department for now to get as many colleagues as possible set up to work from home, i.e. additional VPN lines, laptops, remote desktops, e-learning, conferencing software etc. All things which we were already rolling out to everyone, but what was planned over the course of a year now has to happen within days and on top of ongoing major projects. So the weekends are going to get even shorter, and instead of implementing planned features in software, it's now more about tying things together to get everybody's remote work experience to lift off flawlessly. For me personally, things got turned on the head because I was about to start the last four weeks of work before my half year sabbatical. After years of planning, I was about to thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. I had my visa approved, gear bought, flight booked, the first stays before the trail arranged, my post re-routed and thousands of other little things taken care of. It's simply not feasible now. 5/6 of the trail go through what are now deemed high risk states California and Washington, and people there are going to have their own problems without me adding to it. Even if I found a way to hike there, I couldn't do so with a good conscience and leave family and friends here in such uncertain times. I thankfully can postpone my sabbatical to next year, but there's always an uncertainty about such massive undertakings. But such things suddenly became far less important. It's about keeping people safe and being there for those who do or might need me right now. Here in Germany, we're hitting exponential growth in numbers (from 157 new infections on Wednesday, to 271 on Thursday, then 802 on Friday and about 1800 yesterday). There will be no way around more restrictions similar to those in the countries around us.

To make the renderField function to work for fieldset fields you must specify a $value to render that is not null. For example, using the /site/templates/fields/fieldName/$file.php (using $file argument): $page->renderField('fieldsetName', $file, $value) $page->renderField('fieldsetName', $file, '')

A few more points to watch out for. You need to copy the Authentication Salt in config.php to be able to use your login from the old database: /** * Installer: User Authentication Salt * * Must be retained if you migrate your site from one server to another * */ Installed modules and customizations can also mess up things. After simply uploading my backed-up /site folder into the new installation, I got a scary fatal server error. To step back I restored the /site folder of the fresh installation. I had replaced the fresh install database with my original backed-up database. That worked fine. I see all my old content and templates etc. in the admin area. Next I have uploaded all modules from the backed-up /site/modules to the new installation /site/modules. In the back-end I have clicked Refresh in Modules. It finds the modules and installs them. You may have to repeat Refresh a few times. I still keep getting this error: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'field_headshot.filedata' in 'field list' After uploading the rest of the backed-up /site folder, everything else seems to work fine.

For logged in users, name and email are already filled in automatically and have been for awhile. There is also an option where you can make them non-editable, so that a logged in user can't modify them for each comment they make. But if you want to pull them from something other than "name" and "email" (which I think might be what you were looking for), then the new classes would definitely make it a lot easier to customize, and populate whatever you'd like in there. Likewise to render a custom avatar or hide fields, etc. The custom classes should open up a lot of new possibilities.

Check /wire/core/ProcessWire.php. Version number is split into major, minor, and revision properties.

Hang in there and stay healthy!

Right, this should be fixed now finally. For those that are interested, there was an issue with the forum session wiping out the ProcessWire session by the end of the script - a little puzzling because right up to the end of the script everything seems fine but when you redirect the session information is lost. To overcome that there's some background CURL stuff going on now so the two systems are separated completely during the login process. Please feel free to post/update your profiles again and sorry it took so long.

It depends on your usecase, but a very simple solution could be to prevent login of superusers for the live system: // site/ready.php $wire->addHookAfter('Session::allowLogin', function(HookEvent $event) { $liveHost = "my.live.site"; if($this->config->httpHost != $liveHost) return; if($event->arguments(1)->isSuperuser()) $event->return = false; });

Well, I live in Italy, Turin, inside a building 50mt far from an hospital and 20mt of a 24h supermarket. The hospital had 1 decease today and Covid19 is the one to blame for it. The supermarket is overcrowded outside even at 23 a.m. I'm working from home and I cannot go outside without a 'right purpose' and a self-certificate of why I am there. My wife cannot stays home for work and her company produces various cleaning products which are a top-sellers this days... My 4yo son stays with his grandparent all day long, without having the opportunity to play with other kids. My mother is 72 and had, 2 years ago, some lunges problems and now, even though she is fine by now, she is really scared.
