@julianmark - good luck with getting the FTP login details. I do think that's a little unfair of a statement to make given that you also state: :)

Hello @ all I want to share a new module with you, which makes the creation and validation of forms easy. Take a look at the following example of a simple contact form: // A very simple example of a contactform for demonstration purposes $form = new Form('contactform'); $gender = new Select('gender'); $gender->setLabel('Gender'); $gender->addOption('Mister', '0'); $gender->addOption('Miss', '1'); $form->add($gender); $surname = new InputText('surname'); $surname->setLabel('Surname'); $surname->setRule('required'); $form->add($surname); $name = new InputText('name'); $name->setLabel('Name'); $name->setRule('required'); $form->add($name); $email = new InputText('email'); $email->setLabel('E-Mail'); $email->setRule('required'); $form->add($email); $subject = new InputText('subject'); $subject->setLabel('Subject'); $subject->setRule('required'); $form->add($subject); $message = new Textarea('message'); $message->setLabel('Message'); $message->setRule('required'); $form->add($message); $privacy = new InputCheckbox('privacy'); $privacy->setLabel('I accept the privacy policy'); $privacy->setRule('required')->setCustomMessage('You have to accept our privacy policy'); $form->add($privacy); $button = new Button('submit'); $button->setAttribute('value', 'Send'); $form->add($button); if($form->isValid()){ print_r($form->getValues()); // do what you want } // render the form echo $form->render(); This piece of code creates a simple contact form and validates it according to the validation rules set. Inside the isValid() method you can run your code (fe sending an email) Highlights: 30+ validation types Support for UiKit 3 and Bootstrap 5 CSS framework SPAM protection Highly customizable Hookable methods for further customization Multi-language You can download and find really extensive information on how to use at https://github.com/juergenweb/FrontendForms. Please report errors or suggestions directly in GitHub. Best regards and happy testing ? If you have downloaded the module in the past I recommend you to uninstall the module completely and install the newest version 2.1.14. There are a lot of changes in the new version, so please test carefully.

If you want to do something quickly, maybe gatsby is not ideal. Have a look at https://kit.svelte.dev/ or https://www.11ty.dev/. Those are two easy ones for creating static sites, and I would encourage you to have a look at them (particularly Svelte and SvelteKit) so you see what's new in the craft, but I'm sure you would find it as easy to get back on PW since there was no complexity added at all.

You can achieve this with hooks to Page::addable and Page::editable. 1. Define access controls for the news-region and news-article templates so that users with the news-editor role can add children under news-region pages and they can edit and create news-article pages. 2. Create a news_regions Page Reference field which allows pages with template news-region. Best to make it a "multiple" AsmSelect field so it covers the potential case that a user needs to add/edit within multiple regions. Add this field to the user template. 3. Edit the news-editor users and set the regions they are allowed to add/edit within. 4. In /site/ready.php: $wire->addHookAfter('Page::addable', function(HookEvent $event) { /** @var Page $page */ $page = $event->object; $user = $event->wire()->user; // Return early if PW has already determined that the user is not allowed to add if(!$event->return) return; if($user->hasRole('news-editor') && $page->template == 'news-region') { // Addability depends on if the news_regions Page Reference field has the page $event->return = $user->news_regions->has($page); } }); $wire->addHookAfter('Page::editable', function(HookEvent $event) { /** @var Page $page */ $page = $event->object; $user = $event->wire()->user; // Return early if PW has already determined that the user is not allowed to edit if(!$event->return) return; if($user->hasRole('news-editor') && $page->template == 'news-article') { // Editability depends on if the news_regions Page Reference field has the parent page $event->return = $user->news_regions->has($page->parent); } }); The result for user "ringo": You could add all the regions to that user's page, but personally I would create a different news-supereditor role and just not make them subject to the restrictions in the hooks.
