Happy New Year! Hope that you all have a great end to 2021 and start of 2022. No major core updates to report this week, just a few minor issue fixing commits, so no version bump today. The dev branch is getting close to 100 commits (and at 7 versions) above the master branch, and with even more improvements/fixes/optimizations than that. So we may try to get a new master/main version out in early 2022, as I'd really like to get more master versions out in 2022 than we did in 2021. Some portion of our audience does not use the dev branch where most of the activity happens, and so it might be nice to share more of that activity on the master/main branch. That's one of many things I'm thinking about as the New Year approaches and am certain 2022 is going to be a great year for ProcessWire and the community. Hope that you have a great weekend and Happy New Year!

Demo site (frontend) is here. I'll do a write-up about it soon. The cart is htmx, Tailwind and alpine.js powered. Borrowed bits of templates here and there, threw in some Tailwind CSS components and this is what we get. Oh, yes, all the blemishes are mine. Site is not optimised but it is fast enough. It should give better feedback after item is added to cart. Will work on it later. Full checkout works. The PayPal widget will not charge you though. It will just crash (with a lot of grumbling in the console). Over the weekend I'll set up a GitHub repo with this demo as a starter site for our testers (especially). I also plan to wrap up the docs and prepare access for testers ready to download by Monday. I'll send you (testers) an email in this respect. After (or even before) that I'll write up a bit about what to expect in this first release and what not to expect. Happy new year.

Padloper 2 is Here

Developing on Linux (currently Arch/KDE Plasma) for the last 16 years. Would never go back to proprietary alternatives. Why pay for something that should really be free for all? Devtools: Editor: VSCodium with PHP Intelephense, GitLense, PHP Debug (xdebug support), Prettier (Code Formatter), Todo Tree and @bernhards PWSnippets. Local dev env: after having used vagrant for a long time, about 4 years ago I switched to https://laradock.io/ for local docker environment. Ensures portable environments across multiple machines PW modules used on almost every project: TracyDebugger, WireMailSmtp, ProFields (mainly for Repeater Matrix), TablePro Asset building pipeline: npm scripts / gulp / webpack. Will have a look into Laravel Mix. Might save time although I actually like to fiddle with all the configs. Deployment: for older and ongoing projects mostly SFTP. For new projects git with git hooks. This is so much cleaner. Not using any service but creating own git hooks on the server. git must be available on the production server. Staging servers used rarely. Mostly deploy from local to production. Hosting: I do not offer hosting services. This is up to the client. Personally I use https://uberspace.de/en/ which is a command line configured shared hosting provider from DE with a pay what you want pricing model

More information to follow soon. Thanks

What ever lived before dinosaurs, I'm one of those ? I use Nova as Code Editor which has a FTP-client builtin. Most of the time I'm working on the live-server. ProCache takes care of my scss-files Modules: PrivacyWire, Jumplinks, ProtectedMode, lot of the ProModules, … ProfileSiteExporter for moving Sites I also do not offer hosting Even with a limited setup as mine, there is a lot possible with ProcessWire. What a great CMS and community. btw: Happy new year to you all!

Happy new Padloper and Happy New Year!!! What a suprprise! Thanks, kongondo!

SWEET! Thank you for your hard work. I've been waiting for this! Cheers and happy new year to all!

@Jonathan Lahijani - I love it - your comments have a very similar tone of ridiculousness that my list has :) Firstly, I am glad you found Forklift - I use it exclusively and I actually love it for FTP because I can open files directly from a remote server into my code editor and saving the file will send it straight back to the server. Obviously the dual pane is essential, especially given the stupidness of the cut / paste situation. The other crucial thing it has for me is being able to order folders first, and then files - that is truly the dumbest thing in MacOS. The Enter to rename drove me crazy for a while too, as did not being able to delete a file by hitting the delete key - don't even get me started on the lack of an actual delete (vs backspace) key on laptop keyboards :), but I am mostly over that now. These days I only use the trackpad (because damn they are nice on macs - pity the magic mouse is garbage), so the acceleration stuff doesn't bother me, but I can imagine. Oh, and yes to the window focus stuff - definitely annoying. Another utility you should try is BetterTouchTool - it has lots of mouse / trackpad settings, along with window features like snapping, but most importantly bringing proper window maximizing (rather than full screen) with the plus icon. Regarding having Finder first on the dock - I almost never use the dock because I have Alfred, so app launching / switching is with the keyboard. You might also like to try Hyperswitch for a more Windows like dock. Anyway, despite all the bad UX stuff, I generally do find it much more stable and it's amazing to have not reformatted / reinstalled the OS once in 10 years. I also love the unix basis to the OS - I know there is now WSL, but it wasn't around when I was using Windows.

@EyeDentify PageTable has been in the core for years. It was kindly sponsored by a Finnish company. I could have sworn there was a blog post about it, but I can’t seem to find it.

Or without any dependencies: <?php $wire->addHookAfter("ProcessPageEdit::buildFormContent", function($event) { $form = $event->return; $page = $event->object->getPage(); if($page->template != 'my-template') return; $form->add([ 'type' => 'markup', 'label' => 'foo', 'value' => 'bar@'.date('Y-m-d H:i:s'), ]); });
