"Весела Коледа" with a bit of delay. I can tell some languages are well understood ? ( @Ivan Gretsky & @Zeka )

Hello community! I want to share a new module I've been working on that I think could be a big boost for multi-language ProcessWire sites. Fluency is available in the ProcessWire Modules Directory, via Composer, and on Github Some background: I was looking for a way for our company website to be efficiently translated as working with human translators was pretty laborious and a lack of updating content created a divergence between languages. I, and several other devs here, have talked about translation integrations and the high quality services now available. Inspired by what is possible with ProcessWire, I built Fluency, a third-party translation service integration for ProcessWire. With Fluency you can: Translate any plain textarea or text input Translate any TinyMCE or CKEditor (inline, or regular) Translate page names/URLs Translate in-template translation function wrapped strings Translate modules, both core and add-ons Installation and usage is completely plug and play. Whether you're building a new multi-language site, need to update a site to multi-language, or simply want to stop manually translating a site and make any language a one-click deal, it could not be easier to do it. Fluency works by having you match the languages configured in ProcessWire to those offered by the third party translation service you choose. Currently Fluency works with DeepL and Google Cloud Translation. Module Features Translate any multilanguage field while editing any page. Translate fields in Repeater, Repeater Matrix, Table, Fieldset Page, Image descriptions, etc. Translate any file that added in the ProcessWire language pages. It's possible to translate the entire ProcessWire core in ~20 minutes Provide intuitive translation features that your clients and end-users can actually use. Fluency is designed for real-world use by individuals of all skill levels with little to no training. Its ease-of-use helps encourage users to adopt a multilanguage workflow. Start for free, use for free. Translation services supported by Fluency offer generous free tiers that can support regular usage levels. Fluency is, and will always be, free and open source. Use more than one Translation Engine. You may configure Fluency to use either DeepL, Google Cloud Translation, or both by switching between them as desired. AI powered translations that rival humans. DeepL provides the highest levels of accuracy in translation of any service available. Fluency has been used in many production sites around the world and in commercial applications where accuracy matters. Deliver impressive battle-tested translation features your clients can count on. Disable translation for individual fields. Disable translation for multilanguage fields where values aren't candidates for translation such as phone numbers or email addresses Configure translation caching. Caching can be enabled globally so that the same content translated more than once anywhere in ProcessWire doesn't count against your API usage and provides lightning fast responses. Set globally ignored words and text. Configure Fluency to add exclusionary indicators during translation so that specific words or phrases remain untranslated. This works either for specific strings alone, or present in other content while remaining grammatically correct in translation. Choose how translation is handled for fields. Configure Fluency to have buttons for either "Translate from {default language}" on each tab, or "Translate To All Languages" to populate every language for a field from any language to any language you have configured. No language limits. Configure as few or as many languages as you need. 2, 5, 10, 20 language website? Absolutely possible. If the translation service you choose offers a language, you can use it in ProcessWire. When new languages are introduced by third parties, they're ready to use in Fluency. Visually see what fields and language tabs have modified content. Fluency adds an visual indication to each field language tab to indicate which has different content than when opening the edit page. This helps ensure that content updated in one language should be updated in other languages to prevent content divergence between languages. Render language meta tags and ISO codes. Output alt language meta tags, add the current language's ISO code to your <html lang=""> attribute to your templates that are automatically generated from accurate data from the third party translation service. Build a standards-compliant multi-language SEO ready page in seconds with no additional configuration. Render language select elements. - Fluency can generate an unordered list of language links to switch between languages when viewing your pages. You can also embed a <select> element with JS baked in to switch between languages when viewing your pages. Render it without JS to use your own. Manage feature access for users. Fluency provides a permission that can be assigned to user roles for managing who can translate content. Track your translation account usage. View your current API usage, API account limit, and remaining allotment to keep an eye on and manage usage. (Currently only offered by DeepL) Use the global translation tool. Fluency provides translation on each field according to the languages you configure in ProcessWire. Use the global translation tool to translate any content to any language. Use Fluency from your templates and code. All translation features, usage statistics, cache control, and language data are accessible globally from the $fluency object. Perform any operation and get data for any language programmatically wherever you need it. Build custom AJAX powered admin translation features for yourself. Fluency provides a full RESTful API within the ProcessWire admin to allow developers to add new features for ProcessWire applications powered by the same API that Fluency uses. Robust plain-language documentation that helps you get up to speed fast. Fluency is extremely easy to use but also includes extensive documentation for all features both within the admin and for the Fluency programming API via the README.md document. The module code itself is also fully annotated for use with the ProDevTools API explorer. Is and will always be data safe. Adding, upgrading, or removing Fluency does not modify or remove your content. ProcessWire handles your data, Fluency sticks to translating. Full module localization. Translate Fluency itself to any language. All buttons, messages, and UI elements for Fluency will be presented in any language you choose for the ProcessWire admin. Built for expansion. Fluency provides translation services as modular "Translation Engines" with a full framework codebase to make adding new translation services easier and more reliable. Contributions for new translation services are welcome. Fluency is designed and built to provide everything you need to handle incredibly accurate translations and robust tools that make creating and managing multi-language sites a breeze. Built through research on translation plugins from around the web, it's the easiest and most friendly translation implementation for both end users and developers on any CMS/CMF anywhere. Fluency complements the built-in first class language features of ProcessWire. Fluency continues to be improved with great suggestions from the community and real-world use in production applications. Big thanks to everyone who has helped make Fluency better. Contributions, suggestions, and bug reports welcome! Please note that the browser plugin for Grammarly conflicts with Fluency (as it does with many web applications). To address this issue it is recommended that you disable Grammarly when using Fluency, or open the admin to edit pages in a private window where Grammarly may not be loaded. This is a long-standing issue in the larger web development community and creating a workaround may not be possible. If you have insight as to how this may be solved please visit the Github page and file a bugfix ticket. Enhancements Translate All Fields On A Page Compatibility with newest rewrite of module is in progress... An exciting companion module has been written by @robert which extends the functionality of Fluency to translate all fields on a page at once. The module has several useful features that can make Fluency even more useful and can come in handy for translating existing content more quickly. I recommend reading his comments for details on how it works and input on best practices later in this thread. Get the module at the Github repo: https://github.com/robertweiss/ProcessTranslatePage Requirements: ProcessWire 3.0+ UIKit Admin Theme That's Fluency in a nutshell. The Module Is Free This is my first real module and I want to give it back to the community as thanks. This is the best CMS I've worked with (thank you Ryan & contributors) and a great community (thank you dear reader).

ProcessWire InputfieldRepeaterMatrixDuplicate Thanks to the great ProModule "RepeaterMatrix" I have the possibility to create complex repeater items. With it I have created a quite powerful page builder. Many different content modules, with many more possible design options. The RepeaterMatrix module supports the cloning of items, but only within the same page. Now I often have the case that very design-intensive pages and items are created. If you want to use a content module on a different page (e.g. in the same design), you have to rebuild each item manually every time. This module extends the commercial ProModule "RepeaterMatrix" by the function to duplicate repeater items from one page to another page. The condition is that the target field is the same matrix field from which the item is duplicated. This module is currently understood as proof of concept. There are a few limitations that need to be considered. The intention of the module is that this functionality is integrated into the core of RepeaterMatrix and does not require an extra module. Check out the screencast What the module can do Duplicate multible repeater items from one page to another No matter how complex the item is Full support for file and image fields Multilingual support Support of Min and Max settings Live synchronization of clipboard between multiple browser tabs. Copy an item and simply switch the browser tab to the target page and you will immediately see the past button Support of multiple RepeaterMatrix fields on one page Configurable which roles and fields are excluded Configurable dialogs for copy and paste Duplicated items are automatically pasted to the end of the target field and set to hidden status so that changes are not directly published Automatic clipboard update when other items are picked Automatically removes old clipboard data if it is not pasted within 6 hours Delete clipboard itself by clicking the selected item again Benefit: unbelievably fast workflow and content replication What the module can't do Before an item can be duplicated in its current version, the source page must be saved. This means that if you make changes to an item and copy this, the old saved state will be duplicated Dynamic loading is currently not possible. Means no AJAX. When pasting, the target page is saved completely No support for nested repeater items. Currently only first level items can be duplicated. Means a repeater field in a repeater field cannot be duplicated. Workaround: simply duplicate the parent item Dynamic reloading and adding of repeater items cannot be registered. Several interfaces and events from the core are missing. The initialization occurs only once after the page load event Attention, please note! Nested repeaters cannot be supported technically. Therefore a check is made to prevent this. However, a nested repeater can only be detected if the field name ends for example with "_repeater1234". For example, if your MatrixRepeater field is named like this: "content_repeater" or "content_repeater123", this field is identified as nested and the module does not load. In version 2.0.1 the identification has been changed so that a field ending with the name repeater is only detected as nested if at least a two-digit number sequence follows. But to avoid this problem completely, make sure that your repeater matrix field does NOT end with the name "repeater". Changelog 2.0.1 Bug fix: Thanks to @ngrmm I could discover a bug which causes that the module cannot be loaded if the MatrixRepeater field ends with the name "repeater". The code was adjusted and information about the problem was provided 2.0.0 Feature: Copy multiple items at once! The fundament for copying multiple items was created by @Autofahrn - THX! Feature: Optionally you can disable the copy and/or paste dialog Bug fix: A fix suggestion when additional and normal repeater fields are present was contributed by @joshua - THX! 1.0.4 Bug fix: Various bug fixes and improvements in live synchronization Bug fix: Items are no longer inserted when the normal save button is clicked. Only when the past button is explicitly clicked Feature: Support of multiple repeater fields in one page Feature: Support of repeater Min/Max settings Feature: Configurable roles and fields Enhancement: Improved clipboard management Enhancement: Documentation improvement Enhancement: Corrected few typos #1 1.0.3 Feature: Live synchronization Enhancement: Load the module only in the backend Enhancement: Documentation improvement 1.0.2 Bug fix: Various bug fixes and improvements in JS functions Enhancement: Documentation improvement Enhancement: Corrected few typos 1.0.1 Bug fix: Various bug fixes and improvements in the duplication process 1.0.0 Initial release Support this module If this module is useful for you, I am very thankful for your small donation: Donate 5,- Euro (via PayPal – or an amount of your choice.

Thank you for quick reply! I will take a look at it. I see composer installation really useful because I've just specified all dependencies in composer.json file and don't have to commit modules into my site's source code. So, when I deploy the site to production the automated script easily install all dependecies. All I have to do manually is to install the modules via admin (maybe this could be automated as well) or refresh if they are already installed. I've even created a "wrapper" composer package for processwire (see https://github.com/uiii/processwire), which will install like a regular installation, or upgrade the existing. So my site's source code only contains the site folder (without modules) and composer.json (and composer.lock) and this is enough basis to setup the whole running site by single command: composer install

Hi @Richard Jedlička, thx for your message ? Thx, that's a good point! I've added a new example file of how I am using RockMigrations nowadays that should be really helpful to get started with the power of RockMigrations and building easy, fast and reusable modules: https://github.com/BernhardBaumrock/RockMigrations/blob/master/examples/MigrationsExample.module.php You might not need this feature any more once you saw the new example file, but anyhow it was an easy update and I've made the getMigrationsPath() method hookable so you can use whichever folder you like ? I'd be happy to get a quick tutorial of how all that works and what the benefits would be and then I can take that into account. PRs are always welcome.

Thanks, this was helpful for me. Just one notice: To get out the message, "wire('session')" was not working for me, I used $this instead: function example1(HookEvent $event) { $page = $event->arguments[0]; $this->message("Hello World 2 ! You saved {$page->path}"); } $pages->addHookAfter('Pages::save', null, 'example1');

Thanks @horst, so it sounds like upgrading PW to v3 would be simpler than fighting PHP7.4 in v2.7. I had a feeling this would be the answer, thanks for your help :-)

Where do you want to import the captions to? To the description of the image, to a custom field on that image, or to a separate field in that repeater item? For the first and second you would just add this line before saving the new item: $newItem->post_image->description = "whatever"; or: $newItem->post_image->custom_field_name = "whatever"; For the third you would add something like: $newItem->field_name = "whatever";

1.0.4 adds a litte new helper to add all fields of a template as columns: $rockfinder ->find("template=foo") ->addColumnsFromTemplate("foo"); 1.0.5: add getJSON() method

We've switched most of our servers to a setup of Hetzner VPS managed via Ploi. I haven't found many differences between Cloudways, ServerPilot, Moss, Ploi, etc. if all you're doing is hosting simple Laravel or ProcessWire sites. The main advantage seems to be speed here — compared to shared hosting, the sites are between 4 to 10 times faster even when hosted on the cheapest Hetzner instance at 3$/month and with security and updates taken care by Ploi. We liked Ploi because it's great at regular backups, has lots of notification channels for automatic deploys and the admin panel is very polished.

Yes, I remember that there were some core updates has to be made between PHP 7.2 - 7.4.This must have been somewhere at PW version 3.0.98 ? or 3.0.128 ?, don't remember exactly, but the PW core 2.7 does not have these changes! Why do you not want to upgrade to PW 3? From PW 2.7 to PW 3 is to 97.5 % just switching the wire folder! And another question in this regard: are you sure that your site profile code is PHP 7.4 ready? ?

A number of previous topics that could get you started:

@rookie I wish you hadn't said that. I've been using Windows since 1987. Probably need a blood transfusion to get it out of my system.

@NooseLadder you could delete windows and install linux. ?

I know from a trusted source that some of you use Laragon as their prefered Windows DEV solution. Due to a recent conversation I noticed that there might be a nice little feature some of you may not know about. Laragon offers the Quick app option with some tools already predefined. In order to have ProcessWire there as well you just have to add one (two with a comment) line to your Laragon configuration. # ProcessWire ProcessWire=composer create-project processwire/processwire %s Just in case you want to start your next project a little bit faster.

I tried a lot of them before: Ampps, EasyPHP, Fenix, HFS, UniForm, USB, Laragon, UWamp, Wamp and ZWamp. For me Laragon came definitely out as the best in: 1) easy interface 2) simple switching between php versions 3) auto virtual hosts 4) speed 5) stability

This is an additional plugin for the CKE. You can download it below and simply configure it as an additional plugin in PW. ? https://ckeditor.com/cke4/addon/loremipsum

Just so people don't prematurely jump to disabling useful security features: Having cookies enabled to allow for session storage or csrf protection can be justified as "legitimate interest" (Art. 6 GDPR), which means you no longer need explicit consent. You'll probably still need to document that justification in the privacy policy, though.
