This week ProcessWire version 3.0.166 is released on the dev branch. In this post we’ll cover all that’s new relative to the previous version, 3.0.165. Plus we’ll check out the latest new versions of ProCache and FormBuilder— https://processwire.com/blog/posts/pw-3.0.166/

@gebeer – Thanks ? This hasn't been addressed in v1, as the plan was to carry the behaviour into v2 (sorry it's taken so long…) by way of the separate module. I picked up the project again recently and was giving it some thought. I might just include the 404 logger in JL v2, but am still 50/50 on it. @teppo @adrian – You know, I should have truncated that alongside truncation of the request_uri. Going to see if I can squeeze this in over the weekend while I work on v2’s frontend.

Needed a really simple solution to embed audio files within page content and couldn't find a module for that, so here we go. Textformatter Audio Embed works a bit like Textformatter Video Embed, converting this: <p>https://www.domain.tld/path/to/file.mp3</p> Into this: <audio controls class="TextformatterAudioEmbed"> <source src="https://www.domain.tld/path/to/file.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"> </audio> The audio element has pretty good browser support, so quite often this should be enough to get things rolling ?

As a follow-up, @ryan had a look at this and made a patch that somehow tests the Mysql version and does something that makes it work fine (at least on my localhost). Technically speaking, I am unable to explain all this, so I prefer let the pros give details if needed, but just know the issue seems solved. As I said on Github, I am quite glad I have been able to somehow contribute to the community. You all have provided me with so much help since I have discovered PW. THANKS again !

I am not sure, because this website is online since a while (2017) and really small. Beside some animations on the newest and 2017 project there is not much special for a showcase, but I will consider it. ?

@AndZyk are we going to see this in the showcase? :-)

Made my first expierence with Three.js here. It may be not much, but it is fun to make something in 3d for a change. ?

@Roych The menu you want cannot presently be achieved by using the render() method. For instance, looking at your <li> tags, going down the levels/depth, they have different classes. This is currently not possible in MB but I will add it to my todo list, e.g. a 'levels class'. For custom menus such as yours, it is better to use the getMenuItems() method together with a custom recursive function. Below is an example recursive function that will output the example menu you provided. You can adapt it to your needs if you find it useful. It might need a bit of polishing.

@webhoes it is recommended to use the spoiler tags to wrap very long text. I've done this for your post above. Thanks.

You can't use the PW core image plugin because in FormBuilder there is no page to store images in. But I have just released v0.1.2 which lets you configure a global toolbar for all Markup CKEditor fields. If you add "Image" to the toolbar setting you can use the standard CKEditor image plugin to insert an image by URL.

Using / as dividers signifies an American date format of MM/DD/YYYY, which makes only the latter invalid.

Welcome to the PW forums @j-w! The thing you're asking about doesn't relate to PW as such - it's more an Apache question. As far as I know there isn't anything in the PW htaccess that would prevent you from using basic auth. I don't think you can use <Location> in htaccess - that has to go in your virtual hosts config file. If you want to use htaccess then this Stack Overflow answer might help (it worked for me when I tested it): https://stackoverflow.com/a/14605066/1036672 Or see the answer to the same question for a virtual hosts example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26980313/1036672

For anyone interested in how you might do this by modifying the SQL query that's created from a PW selector, here is one way: In your template file or wherever: // A field name is supplied in a custom "empty_first" item in the $options array // The field name supplied here must also be used as a sort value in the selector string $items = $pages->find('template=news_item, sort=-date_1, limit=20', ['empty_first' => 'date_1']); In /site/ready.php: $wire->addHookAfter('PageFinder::getQuery', function(HookEvent $event) { $options = $event->arguments(1); // Return early if there is no "empty_first" item in the $options array if(!isset($options['empty_first'])) return; // Get the DatabaseQuerySelect object /** @var DatabaseQuerySelect $dqs */ $dqs = $event->return; // Prepend a custom ORDER BY $dqs->orderBy("ISNULL(_sort_{$options['empty_first']}.data) DESC", true); // Return the modified query $event->return = $dqs; });

That works great on backend but on frontend I have to change the code on various pages to get the same results. I think I'm gonna do the hidden field method where I only have to change the sort. Thanks for the help.

For whatever reason, the power was out for our neighborhood for one day this week. As a result, I’m running a day behind schedule here and haven’t yet finished some of the updates I’ve started in the core, so no core updates to report just yet. Instead, I’ve been focused on finishing up the newest FormBuilder version, which has taken nearly the whole week to finish, but I did manage to get the new version out today (available in the FormBuilder board), and I’m really happy with what it adds. Here’s what's new in version 44 of FormBuilder: This version makes significant improvements to FormBuilder's entries listing features and API. You can now find submitted form entries with selector strings just like you can with pages in ProcessWire. It’s like using $pages->find() except for form entries. You can perform queries on any field in the form and use several different operators. This also includes some of the new text matching operators new to the most recent PW master version. The entries screen for any form now gives you option to search and/or filter based on any field in the form. You can also create multiple filters on top of one another, matching multiple fields or even multiple values for the same field. You can dynamically select what columns appear in the entries list, and in what order. This is very much like the “Columns” tab in Lister or ListerPro. You can also search, filter, display and export field values from nested forms, which was not supported in earlier versions of FormBuilder. You can stack multiple search filters on top of one another for AND conditions. When it comes to keyword searches, in addition to searching individual fields in an entry, you can also search all fields in the entry at once (something you can't easily do with pages). You can now sort by any form field in the entries list by clicking the column headings. Also supports reverse order. In earlier versions of FormBuilder, you could only sort by ID or created date. The CSV export has been improved with options to export based on your filters/columns selection, or export all rows/columns. In addition there are now options for letting you specify what type of column headings to use and whether or not to include a UTF-8 byte order mark (which some MS Office apps apparently prefer). In addition to all of the above, there have been numerous other minor optimizations, bug fixes and other improvements throughout FormBuilder. A few new hooks have also been added in FormBuilderProcessor. Note that versions 41, 42, and 43 were all minor-update versions that were only released casually in the FormBuilder board for specific cases. Version 44 of course also includes the updates from those 3 versions as well. FormBuilder v44 requires ProcessWire 3.0.164 or newer. To support the new search/filter/sort functions in the entries list, you must have MySQL 5.7 or newer. For earlier versions of MySQL, these features are disabled except for the “search all fields” option. Next week: back to core updates, and hopefully the newest ProCache version will be ready as well. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

There's now a free and open source version similar to sizzy available: https://responsively.app/
