A serializer module for ProcessWire Pages. This module will add a new method to all pages, called serializer(), which returns JSON. https://github.com/Luis85/FlowtiPageSerializer ## Dependecies symfony/serializer symfony/property-access ## Requirements ProcessWire 3.x Composer ## Installation cd site/modules git clone git@github.com:Luis85/FlowtiPageSerializer.git cd FlowtiPageSerializer composer install ## Usage $page->serialize() will return the serialized Page Object as a JSON string representation containing all accessable fields calling $page->serialize('field_name') returns the Page Object with just this field $page->serialize(['field1', 'field2']) will return the choosen fields This is my initial commit, just cobbled together a wrapper around the symfony/serializer component which i plan to use for data serialization and deserialization. The module can just serialize a given page and limit its output a field string or an array of strings. Supports only json output right now. Supports only 1 dimension of data, so no reference titles / .dot syntax. Can someone please enlighten me how to setup a proper composer setup for PW Module Development btw?3 points

Process Cache Control This module provides a simple solution to clearing all your cache layers at once, and an extensible interface to perform various cache-related actions. The simple motivation behind this module was that I was tired of manually clearing caches in several places after deploying a change on a live site. The basic purpose of this module is a simple Clear all caches link in the Setup menu which clears out all caches, no matter where they hide. You can customize what exactly the module does through it's configuration menu: Expire or delete all cache entries in the database, or selectively clear caches by namespace ($cache API) Clear the the template render cache. Clear out specific folders inside your site's cache directory (/site/assets/cache) Clear the ProCache page render cache (if your site is using ProCache) Refresh version strings for static assets to bust client-side browser caches (this requires some setup, see the full documentation for details). This is the basic function of the module. However, you can also add different cache management action through the API and execute them through the module's interface. For this advanced usage, the module provides: An interface to see all available cache actions and execute them. A system log and logging output on the module page to see verify what the module is doing. A CacheControlTools class with utility functions to clear out different caches. An API to add cache actions, execute them programmatically and even modify the default action. Permission management, allowing you granular control over which user roles can execute which actions. The complete documentation can be found in the module's README. Plans for improvements If there is some interest in this, I plan to expand this to a more general cache management solution. I particular, I would like to add additional cache actions. Some ideas that came to mind: Warming up the template render cache for publicly accessible pages. Removing all active user sessions. Let me know if you have more suggestions! Links https://github.com/MoritzLost/ProcessCacheControl ProcessCacheControl in the Module directory CHANGELOG in the repository Screenshots1 point

Hi there, I'm starting a small series of tutorials here. The first one(s) deal with the topic "How can I add a watermark to all pageimages of a site?" first episode "Tutorial how to add a site wide optional watermarking method to all pageimages" second episode "Second Episode: "How can I add a watermark to all pageimages of a site?"" This is targeted to all, - beginners, intermediate, pros, - but mainly to interested PW lovers. The fictitious starting situation could be that a website owner has been creating beautiful photos for many years and would like to show them on his site in higher output sizes. A reference to real people or events does not exist, or would be "purely coincidental". Could someone please tell @Rob(AU) about this. ? This first episode shows a really straight and forward solution that could be an answer to the question "How can I get things be done?". We will create a PHP function that will give back a watermarked variation of every pageimage we put into it. We don't want bother our self to much with coding or image manipulation stuff. So for this first example we will setup our site with a single centralized image field that can contain one PNG image that should be used as our alpha transparency overlay for all watermarked image variations. Additionally to that, we install a PW third party module that does the image manipulation stuff. I will use the Page Image Manipulation module for this, because I know it very well. There are also *other good solutions in the PW ecosystem and if you would like you can add and use every existing PHP library that can assist you, or write your own individual low level code for that. But that's not our topic here. We want to get things done. Lets start! 1) Create a single centralized image field somewhere on a settings page if you have one. If your site doesn't has one, because you haven't had a need for that til now, the homepage may be a good place too. If you go with the homepage, but for other situations too, it may be a good idea to separate the overlay image input field from other content you have on that page. 1.1) Create an image field that should contain one file, and only of type PNG 1.2) Create a fieldset tab 1.3) Add both to the template of your choice 2) Add the Page Image Manipulator module to your site ... 2.1) ... by going to your modules section in the admin, select the tab "New" and add the Modules Classname under "Add Module From Directory": PageImageManipulator 2.2) Download and install it. 2.3) Go to the modules site tab and scroll down to the position where you find the entries for a Pageimage Manipulator 1 and a Pageimage Manipulator 2. There you can savely uninstall the legacy version 1 that is only needed for PW version prior to 2.6. 3) Provide a PNG overlay image. For this example we want use a 2000 x 2000 px transparent PNG image with our watermark sign or watermark text. If you don't have one ready but have an image manipulation program on your local machine at hand that excepts photoshop actions, you can download one here for fast creation: photoshop_action_PW-png-creations.zip 3.1) Create a new image 2000px x 2000px with a transparent background 3.2) Add some meaningful text at a position you like. If you want to use the PS action, don't forget to rasterize all vector text before starting it. 3.3) Regardless if you used the PS action or created some nice overlay in another way, you should set the opacity of the final image to something between 20 and 40 percent. You may have to test this out for a production version. But now we want to get things done. Save the final version and ... 3.4) Upload it into the centralized image field in your site! 4) Create a PHP function that encapsulates the watermark overlay process and outputs a finished pageimage as a variation. To get a go here without messing up our site, we can create a test.php file as sibling of PWs index.php. We will *boostrap PW there and get full access to the API site this way: <?php namespace ProcessWire; include __DIR__ . '/index.php'; function ourWatermarkTestfunction(Pageimage $image) { return $watermarkedImage; } Let the file operating in the PW namespace, boostrap the PW API and our barebone function. We want to pass in a pageimage and we want to get out a pageimage that is a watermarked variation of the source pageimage. If we want to test what we have so far, we would fetch us an image from a page we know it has one and pass it into the function: <?php namespace ProcessWire; include __DIR__ . '/index.php'; function ourWatermarkTestfunction(Pageimage $originalImage) { $watermarkedImage = $originalImage; return $watermarkedImage; } $image = $pages->get('[your selector here to a well known page that has an images field called images]')->images->first(); $variation = ourWatermarkTestfunction($image); $variation = $variation->width(800); echo "<img src='{$variation->url}' alt='{$variation->description}' />"; We tweaked our function to pass us the input image as output. And we echo out it as a HTML image. If this is working as expected, we can start to do code the main part of our function. We will use the module Pageimage Manipulator for that and referring to its description page, when we scroll down to the method called watermarkLogo, it tells us how we can use it. watermarkLogo($pngAlphaImage, $position='center', $padding=2) It want to have one mandatory param, the transparent PNG overlay image. Optionally it can take params for positioning the overlay. For our test we will use the defaults and as they are optional arguments, we don't need to call them. Referring to the PIM2 API, we have to start the process by calling pim2Load($prefix, $param2=optional, $param3=optional) And at the end we have to call pimSave() Putting this together we will get this: function ourWatermarkTestfunction(Pageimage $originalImage) { $watermarkedImage = $originalImage->pim2Load('wm')->watermarkLogo($pngAlphaImage)->pimSave(); return $watermarkedImage; } So, this will produce an error as we have not specified what $pngAlphaImage is. It should be our site wide overlay image that we have stored at a well known place, for example on our homepage. Also we want to apply a check if we really get a Pageimage from there, to avoid unhandled errors if for whatever reason the image gets deleted by accident at some time in the future. function ourWatermarkTestfunction(Pageimage $originalImage) { // get the field of the transparent watermark overlay image in a robust way, // regardless if it is set to 1 image or multiple images, and if it gets changed or not in the future $watermarkImages = wire()->pages->get('id=1')->getUnformatted('setting_watermark'); if(!$watermarkImages) { // return the unmodified original image to do not break our front end site return $originalImage; } // check if it at least contain one image, than fetch it if(0 == count($watermarkImages)) { // return the unmodified original image to do not break our front end site return $originalImage; } $pngAlphaImage = $watermarkImages->first(); // is the same as wire()->pages->get('id=1')->getUnformatted('setting_watermark')->first() // now let the module process our watermarking and save it into a variation $watermarkedImage = $originalImage->pim2Load('wm')->watermarkLogo($pngAlphaImage)->pimSave(); // return the watermarked variation return $watermarkedImage; } Lets have a visually check if all went well: $image = $pages->get('[your selector here to a well known page that has an images field called images]')->images->first(); $variation = ourWatermarkTestfunction($image); $variation = $variation->width(800); ?> <img src='<?=$variation->url?>' alt='<?=$variation->description?>' /> Now we should see our watermarked variation in the same dimensions as the original is. That's fine and it's time to leave the test and implement that into our custom site API. We will add a hook to the Pageimage object that we want call 'wm' and that does exactly what we have created here. 5) Open your site/ready.php and add the following hook into it: <?php namespace ProcessWire; $this->addHook('Pageimage::wm', function(HookEvent $event) { }); Now we can call on every Pageimage the new method wm: $image->wm->width(500) to get a watermarked and 500px width resized variation out. Ok, first we have to add our functions body into it. And we slightly have to change it a bit, because now it became a anonymous function of a HookEvent. Therefore it has not a own name anymore, and the input is not a Pageimage in the first time, but a HookEvent. (But in the end, it is a Pageimage, because it is a hooked event of a Pageimage. ?) /** * Example Pageimage Hook for watermarking functionality, * adds a new method to Pageimage objetcs named wm. * Used in a small tutorial series in the ProcessWire forums * https://processwire.com/talk/topic/25752-tutorial-how-to-add-a-site-wide-optional-watermarking-method-to-all-pageimages/ * * @version 0.0.1 * * @var HookEvent */ $this->addHook('Pageimage::wm', function(HookEvent $event) { // get the image out of the event object $originalImage = $event->object; // access the field of the transparent watermark overlay image in a robust way, // regardless if it is set to 1 image or multiple images, and if it has changed // in this regard since we wrote this hook function $watermarkImages = wire()->pages->get('id=1')->getUnformatted('setting_watermark'); // check if the imagefield exists and it at least contain one image, than fetch it if(!$watermarkImages || 0 == count($watermarkImages)) { // return the unmodified original image to do not break our front end site $event->return = $originalImage; // inform the admin about the missing watermark overlay, (or do something other useful) wireMail('admin@example.com', 'noreply@example.com', 'MISSING SITEWIDE WATERMARK OVERLAY IMAGE'); wireLog('errors', 'MISSING SITEWIDE WATERMARK OVERLAY IMAGE'); // stop further execution return; } $pngAlphaImage = $watermarkImages->first(); // is the same as wire()->pages->get('id=1')->getUnformatted('setting_watermark')->first() // now let the module process our watermarking and save it into a variation $watermarkedImage = $originalImage->pim2Load('wm')->watermarkLogo($pngAlphaImage)->pimSave(); // to return the watermarked variation, // we have to replace the event object with our watermark variation $event->return = $watermarkedImage; }); Now we can call our watermarked images like this: $image = $page->images->first(); $variation = $image->wm()->width(800); ?> <img src='<?=$variation->url?>' alt='<?=$variation->description?>' /> Now all looks fine in the first line. But there is some room for improvements also in this basic "get the things done" solution. I keep this for one of the next episodes, where we can dive a little bit into image debugging and / or create a more advanced version of the image watermarking function, maybe as a PW module.

This peace of software is impressive to me. Just want to share: Althttpd is a simple webserver that has run the https://sqlite.org/ website since 2004. Althttpd strives for simplicity, security, and low resource usage. As of 2018, the althttpd instance for sqlite.org answers about 500,000 HTTP requests per day (about 5 or 6 per second) delivering about 50GB of content per day (about 4.6 megabits/second) on a $40/month Linode. The load average on this machine normally stays around 0.1 or 0.2. About 19% of the HTTP requests are CGI to various Fossil source-code repositories. ... https://sqlite.org/althttpd/doc/trunk/althttpd.md The complete source code for althttpd is contained within a single C-code file with no dependences outside of the standard C library.1 point

Not for an arduino, hence my question. I suspect it's too limited (at least an UNO) to do a full HTTP 1.1/2 implementation. A Raspi Zero on the other hand, should be fine.1 point

If you can build enough discipline in the way you write conditionals, you can avoid this by always putting the constant part first: if ('xx' == $page->template->name) { So if you accidentally miss an equals sign and do an assignment, you get an error from the runtime as you are trying to assign to a constant string literal. I've tried to build this habit over the years and sometimes remember to do this - but I'm not there yet.1 point

After some introspection I think I know what might have happened, I probably made the error to '=' instead of '==": if($page->template->name='xx') { Hope this helps someone else ?1 point

I answer myself. The error is triggered when we leave empty the configuration field "Notifications From Email". ?1 point

The "Comments" core module has been activated locally with its four associated parts, including an Akismet API key, and has been rendered as per instruction via http://processwire.com/api/fieldtypes/comments/. Testing the comment form continues to render errors after this manner in the 3.0.96 version. Error: Exception: Invalid email address (processwire@localhost:8888) (in ... /wire/core/WireMail.php line 130) After an exhaustive attempt on my part to overcome this error (with limited knowledge), I considered that maybe a corrupt file might be the cause. However, after updating from 3.0.62 to 3.0.96, the same error persists. Below is the particular section/line of code mentioned. /** * Sanitize an email address or throw WireException if invalid * * @param string $email * @return string * @throws WireException * */ protected function sanitizeEmail($email) { $email = strtolower(trim($email)); $clean = $this->wire('sanitizer')->email($email); if($email != $clean) { $clean = $this->wire('sanitizer')->entities($email); throw new WireException("Invalid email address ($clean)"); //<--- this is the line } return $clean; } Inasmuch as this is the final element that needs to be addressed for this particular site, your assistance in helping me understand the issue and the remedy regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated. Good day!1 point

As far as I have understood from fast reading through some docs: No. But I'm not sure yet and this needs more investigation. My interest is in regard of bringing small services online with small computers like arduinos, raspi zero, etc.1 point

Interesting concept and super low power. I've always liked low power installs - I used to run our book warehouse pick-n-pack system from a android tablet wirelessly connected to a Raspberry Pi server running our warehouse software. There was a thermal label printer too, and all offset by the solar array on our roof - but nothing as teensy as the power budget of the system you linked to.1 point

In my opinion the best solution would be to use a ProFields Table field because it has less overhead than pages and everything is viewable inside a single compact inputfield. But if you go with a page-based approach (which will be just fine if not 100% optimal) then your options are: Repeater PageTable Child pages Another opinion: purchasing the ProFields bundle should be a no-brainer for any regular PW user. Any one of the Table, Repeater Matrix and Combo fieldtypes alone is worth the purchase price, but you get all of them, plus several more goodies which are just cherries on the top. And as Ryan explained in the most recent blog post, the purchase of Pro modules is an important part of what keeps the ongoing development of PW viable. So it's a nice way to play a part in that. ?1 point

To set a cache that will expire at midnight today: // Expiry time string $midnight = 'today 23:59:59'; // Alternatively, the start of tomorrow is midnight today // $midnight = 'tomorrow'; // Save the cache $cache->save('test-cache', 'Value for cache', $midnight); So, to achieve what you want (if I understand you correctly), you could use the get() method something like this: $midnight = 'tomorrow'; $str = $cache->get('test-cache', $midnight, function() { return "The next cache value"; }); By the way, if you haven't discovered it, the getInfo() function is really useful for debugging, for example: print_r($cache->getInfo(false, 'test-cache'));1 point

Where exactly are you stuck? Differentiating between normal and AJAX requests, rendering content (are you doing that server- or client-side?), encoding the content for the AJAX response? An example of your current code and what's not working about it would be helpful. A couple of observations, in no particular order: The first thing I notice is that the infinite scroll library you linked seems to employ a non-standard way of doing "load more" buttons. Instead of requesting only the new items, it works with an existing classic pagination and just loads the entire next page, throws away everything but the new items and adds them to the existing container. While this does work, it's incredibly wasteful, loading entire pages just to discard most of them immediately. So don't let that library trip you up if you want to build "real" AJAX-powered pagination. What endpoint are you calling in your AJAX request? I remember some tutorials around here recommending to hit the same URL as a regular page view, and differentiating between normal page views and AJAX calls by checking the X-Requested-With header – in my opinion, that's not a good approach. It doesn't even work properly if you use the Fetch API (the modern alternative to XMLHttpRequest). Depending on how much side-loaded content you need on your site, I would either use a URL parameter (?ajax=1) or build an entirely separate endpoint (/api/events/...). The latter approach scales much better. Are you returning HTML or structured data from your endpoint? Depending on that: Returning structured data, i.e. a JSON-encoded object with information about the events is the cleaner way to go about this. But since the first five elements are already rendered server-side, that means you have to replicate your template-logic in JavaScript to create the same HTML structure that the server-rendered events have. Not ideal. In general, I only use this approach if the entire app is client-side rendered (like the Architekturführer Köln). Returning server-rendered HTML is not great, because it makes your API non-reusable (for example, if you want to display side-loaded events in different places with slightly different layouts, you'll need separate endpoints or parameters). It's also just not very clean to insert raw HTML into your page. Though it is a bit easier for simple use cases. I need to mention this: Do you really need to side-load your events? It's one of those features that clients go crazy about because it's "cool and modern", but why not use a regular pagination, which works out of the box and is also better for SEO? If the reason is that your visitors need to load too many pages this way, is there any reason why you can't just show 25 events per page instead of 5?1 point
