  1. If you're dealing with multiple timezones I'd strongly suggest not involving the db in it. There are two types of datetimes: absolute time (times you want to compare with each other even across timezones) and wall time (11 o'clock stays 11 o'clock for your user). Because timezone defintions can potentially change for future datetimes it's not always as easy to keep both properties as one might think. If only the first one is important to you you should keep everything in UTC. If only the last one is important you could use a datetime in the timezone of the user, but it's rarely the case you don't compare timestamps or it doesn't become a requirement (e.g. for ordering). For past datetimes it's enough to store a utc timestamp and the timezone of the user to get to both the absolute time and the wall time as timezone defintions rarely change in retrospect. For future datetimes you'd need to make sure to save enough information so you can detect changes in the timezone definition when they happen. Then you or your user can decide if absolute time or wall time was meant to be consistent.

  2. I'm using SessionHandlerDB: $s = $modules->get('SessionHandlerDB'); foreach($s->getSessions() as $session) { $s->destroy($session['id']); } If not using SessionHandlerDB it should be enough to clear /site/assets/sessions

  3. Try calling wire('pages') instead of $pages.

  4. I could be too tired to wrap my head around this properly, but it seems to me that your module's init/ready is going to be called after the (admin) page::render method is called, which would explain why it has no effect at all. Your module is not autoloaded, so the init/ready should only trigger when this specific inputfield is being rendered, which is likely too late in the process. Might be easier to go along the lines of what Adrian suggested and a) split the hook into a separate module that extends Wire, and b) make that separate module autoload (preferably with conditional autoloading, i.e. when the template is admin or something) ? (Note: making the Inputfield module itself autoloading should probably work too, but this way you'll end up loading some unnecessary baggage even when it's not necessarily needed.)

  5. @LostKobrakai thanks for the explanation! very helpful. Actually I created a second datetime field now, where I store the walltime of the user when the post is created. I just use this field then to display the time on frontend, instead of created. Messing with the actual created date could really make problems - thanks for the insights - especially because you still want to keep the real "order" (dependend on UTC or a universal time) of posts, even tho individual local time is different.

  6. Updated to 1.0.1 (Stable), mainly reducing hook priority < 200 so it runs before ProCache.

  7. Don't worry, it's not a stupid question ? You can definitely build a custom search feature and get great results with that, but things tend to get a little more complicated if your site contains a larger amount of fields, and particularly if you're using Repeater, RepeaterMatrix, PageTable, or other types of fields with repeatable content — or perhaps page reference fields gluing content from different pages together. In other words content that isn't technically (directly) part of the page, but needs to be tied with the page in the context of site search. Although in many cases you could no doubt include all those fields in your search queries, this can result in pretty complex queries, and such queries also tend to become inefficient. Generally speaking the more fields you join in the query, the more complex the resulting SQL query will get, and the more time and resources it'll take to process. Not a great thing for scalability. First version of SearchEngine was really just an easy way to reuse bits and pieces of code that were developed over time to mash field values together so that they could be searched more efficiently. Soon after along came the markup generating parts (which now make up a notable portion of the module), a set of features for automatically filtering and sanitizing queries and processing the index, JSON output option (mostly for AJAX requests), indexing support for field types requiring specific handling (core ones as well as third party), etc. From the initial post in this thread: These days in my projects I install SearchEngine, set it up, and trigger the render function. The module takes care of everything else and "just works". In a nutshell SE bundles most of the stuff a typical site search will need into one package, and tries to do it efficiently and following best practices ? Hope this answered your question!

  8. Not sure I fully understand the scenario, however, technically, there is no 'adding children to a page'. Conversely, you give a child a parent ?. This means, there is no difference between creating a parent page and its children except for specifying the parent. // create parent $p = new Page(); $p->template = 'basic-page'; $p->parent = $pages->get(1234); $p->title = 'Parent Page'; $p->save(); // create child $c = new Page(); $c->template = 'child-template'; $c->parent = $p;// new parent above $c->title = 'Child Page'; $c->save(); It seems to me though that your question is mainly related to getting info to create the child page after some event has occurred? if that's the case, please provide more information about the form submission and handling process.

  9. Welcome to the forums @mjut You need to use $config->scripts->add() for JS and $config->styles->add() for CSS .These need to be added before the controller.php $config->scripts->add($config->urls->templates . "scripts/admin.js"); $config->styles->add($config->urls->templates . "styles/admin.css"); // this comes last require($config->paths->adminTemplates . 'controller.php');
