With 2023 fast approaching, and CKEditor 4 having an EOL in 2023, I'm starting to feel a little pressure to get a plan in place. But is the replacement (CKEditor 5) the best path forward? https://processwire.com/blog/posts/reconsidering-the-ckeditor-5-upgrade/

Loving it ? You can't do that ? What is it? https://github.com/quilljs/quill ? https://github.com/summernote/summernote/ ? Also, some insights on that part would be especially interesting ? Fingers crossed for a smooth transition! Thx for all your great work!!

My first thought was that Ryan is building his own rich text editor, maybe using a toolkit like ProseMirror. Let's keep guessing and maintain the hype ?

Hey @fruid have just been working on logs on another module. This is how you can prune the logs to a given number of bytes: $this->wire->log ->getFilelog("rock-mail-logger") ->pruneBytes(2000); This will prune the log to 2000 bytes (which is obviously very little just for testing).

I've looked at it but since it uses '@apply' quite a bit, that goes against what the creator of Tailwind recommends:

www.kentvitrini.com - It is a City Portal of Corlu (Turkey) , our hometown. After using TYPO3 CMS for more than 10 years for our projects, this is our first PW project. With PW less effort, less stress but much more fun. I am impressed. For Mobile Chrome Users : The site is a PWA (Progressive Web App), so it can be downloaded to the homescreen of the phone for future visits. As it is in turkish let me describe it: It has 3 main data groups - "Haberler" are News - "Firma Rehberi" is a Company Directory - "Etkinlik" are Events As there will be more and more information on the site a Live Search will help the visitors to find everything they need. For trying type "corlu" as search word, after 3 letters the search will be loading results. The Top Menu is "Mega Menu" enabled. Looks pretty good on hover On top (under the main menu) there is mix of all content. It looks like a billboard. Below are "Featured Companies" in random order, so the order of the companies changes with every load of the page. Below (Left) News Below (Left) nearest Events. And below (Sidebar) A summery of all content, Weather, pharmacy on duty. We will add Classified ads and "Who is Who" sections in near future.

daisyUI - A Tailwind CSS component library. Anyone tried it?

In terms of ProcessWire: Probably absolute nothing - maybe clearing cache and cookies. In terms of Matomo: I'm not that sure if there is a path somewhere or anything that needs to be fixed.

Thx @fruid for the clarification. First of all how many emails did you send to get a 10GB logfile?? The logger logs quite a lot (headers etc) but I thought better to have than to miss it. I think the easiest way to do the cleanup would be to do the cleanup whenever a new log entry is created. That should be really easy to do using https://processwire.com/api/ref/wire-log/prune/ So you could add a config setting to the module that holds the maximum number of days the log should be kept and everything should work fine. This might also be a good idea regarding gdpr or similar regulations. That only depends on your server setup. You could also create PHP scripts that have root access to your server. It only depends on the permissions you give to PHP (for example to use exec()) and to the user that runs the script.

apologies, didn't mean to be rude, I'm not complaining at all, contrary to your impressions. Thanks a lot for your help and the module works perfectly! Caught a lot of emails that went nowhere. I need to figure out a way to clean up the logs, maybe with a lazycron? or maybe split it up in more files so I don't have to handle huge files at some point. Also, maybe there's a way to access the very log folder of a web server via PW? like /var/log/

Very much curious about what it is. Ryan has always surprised me in the past and looking forward to the new surprise. Gideon

I guess we're going back to TinyMCE)))

Just to get this right... does your folder structure within your hosting look like this? If so... that's NOT how you do it. Each domain and (almost) all subdomains should have their very own folder. A bit more like this: There should be a tool or config where you can map domains and sub-domains to their very own folder. Otherwise you will almost always have issues. Your ProcessWire on www.mydomain.tld isn't able to change behaviour of matomo.mydomain.tld UNLESS you mix it up like in the first screenshot.

Thank you for the hint. Here is what I did and it seems it does the job. $wire->addHookBefore('WireMail::send', function(HookEvent $event) { $WireMail = $event->object; if(!$WireMail->bodyHTML && $WireMail->body) { $forcehtml = nl2br($WireMail->body); // nl2br — Inserts HTML line breaks before all newlines in a string $WireMail->bodyHTML($forcehtml); } });

Sorry to hijack the thread, but... would you believe that I literally just learned that you can do this with checkboxes? That makes things so much easier. I've always considered this part of the admin pretty cumbersome, having to click all those checkboxes one by one ? (Perhaps this view should include a note about this, unless this is something that everyone else already knows about?)

Same issue here, unable to log in using forum credentials (or any old information I can think of for that matter). This might need some attention from @ryan — or perhaps @Pete, as I seem to recall that it was him who originally set this part of the site up ?

Thx for the screencast ? Can't you do a SHIFT+CLICK to select all from the first click until the last click?

Wow thank you! Everyone helped a lot. This was great advice. Thanks to all of you, the problem is now solved. I was checking each of the things that all of you said, and this was very valuable because in some cases I uncovered some errors or problems that were unrelated to this issue but that needed to be fixed, so I fixed those as I went. So checking php logs, admin panel logs, and using debug = true in the config file turned out to be extremely helpful things to do. My site is simple, with only 1 extra module installed (the PW updating system), and no libraries or other code. So there were a limited number of places where the problem had to be, and I went carefully through the list of suggestions that all of you gave. The solution In the end, it was @pwiredthat came up with the correct idea - my template had an include for a non-existent file! I didn't notice it before and I had no idea it was non-existent, but when I looked carefully in each line for includes, sure enough there was no file of that name. Thank you pwired! And thank you also @Gideon Soand @flydev - your suggestions helped me identify other errors or problems with my site that I have now fixed. Thank you both! I was a bit surprised that in php 8.1 the include resulted in a 404 not found page, yet in php 8.0 the page was displayed properly (the bad include was ignored). The include was a little way down the rendering of the page, so I expected instead of 404 I would have gotten the top of my site rendering at least (everything above the include, such as the top menu etc). But I don't know much about the different versions of php so maybe 8.1 has a different way of dealing with this. Certainly I should have never written code with an include to a non-existent file! ? It was not at all intentional, I removed the file of the include at some point but forgot to delete all references to it in the template file. I will update the title to mark this problem as solved. Thanks again everyone! I couldn't have done it without you, I didn't even know where to start.

https://bluefox.studio/ What makes this project cool: We rebranded the clients logo, turning it into a 3D, Three.JS intro presentation The client can mange all aspects of the site via ProcessWire populating their impressive showcase Custom front-end design and UI and full content management across evey aspect of the site. Modular system for page content providing maximum flexibility on page construction. SEO module with global editing section across all pages. Global shared content modules.

No readme yet but could do exactly what you need: Upload images in one central place and then pick one of them on the related page: https://github.com/baumrock/RockImagePicker If you have any questions or find issues let me know. If you find time to write some instructions / screenshots for the readme that would be great ?

<?php namespace ProcessWire; class TextformatterRockSoftbreaks extends Textformatter { public static function getModuleInfo() { return [ 'title' => 'RockSoftbreaks', 'version' => '1.0.0', 'summary' => 'Textformatter to replace strings by HTML softbreak', ]; } public function format(&$str) { $str = str_replace("---", "&#8203;", $str); $str = str_replace("--", "&shy;", $str); } } There's always the problem of too large words on too small screens... In the past I often did a str_replace in my template file, but when using frontend editing that's no option because you need the original markup in the edited text and the replaced version in the presented markup. Textformatters do exactly that and that's why I build a textformatter for it. Feel free to change the replaced string to whatever you need ? Update: 3 dashes will insert a zero-width-space to make it possible to insert non-dash-softbreaks where dashes would be misleading (eg in mail addresses or in foo/bar which would otherwise result in foo/- bar) PS: If you have better solutions for that problem please let me know!

owzim: one thing you might want to mention. We (www.avoine.fi) are company with around 2.5 - 3 million euros revenue for this year. Good part of that (all client websites and -services) comes from ProcessWire. We have also build lots of new software using ProcessWire. Fully dedicated to this platform in many ways: 5 developers working with ProcessWire, sponsoring the core development and also contributing to the core and releasing open source modules. And I see "strong leader" model as a strength for ProcessWire development. Software development is not road building: you don't do it faster nor better by throwing more people to the mix. It of course requires that we have great leader, and that we certainly do have!

First off, I won't stop developing ProcessWire unless I'm dead. But lets say that one of you showed up at my door and shot me, and then I'm gone for good. This is free software and you don't get any guarantees there, no matter what CMS it is or how big the community or adoption of it is. But what you do get is the source code and permission to use it and do with it what you need to. There is far more security in that than any proprietary or commercial system. We should all feel very lucky that this project has attracted such a capable development community around it (more than any project I've ever seen), and there are several guys here that are fully capable of taking over the project if I go down in a hang-glider crash. I'm always reluctant to list off people because there are so many people that contribute to the core and I don't want to forget anyone. Suffice to say, I may hold the keys to the master GitHub account, but this is a project of many developers, at least 5 of which are fully capable of taking over the project if I kick the bucket. I'm certain that some of these guys could do better than me with it. Please don't take that as an invitation to show up at my door with a weapon. But I would suggest this may be better odds than with the bigger projects you'd mentioned. Lets also point out here that ProcessWire is not WordPress–it does not need daily updating in order to keep running. Most sites I build with ProcessWire are running the version they are launched with. With ProcessWire, you do not need to upgrade your site every time a new version comes out. You can generally upload it and forget it, and it'll keep running till the site as long as the server itself is running. What other CMS can you say that for? (I can't think of any) Personally, I think adoption of something like Drupal, Typo3, Joomla, etc. is more of a risk, because you are dealing with a legacy platform – you are adopting technology from 10 years ago. You are also adopting something that is a target for hackers and spammers. WordPress is perhaps the biggest target, and something I've very apprehensive to setup for clients. Ultimately when a company chooses to adopt a legacy platform because "it's what the clients know" or [more likely] what they themselves know, it's a lazy decision. It's not looking out for the clients' best interests, and it's pursuing mediocrity. When you pursue mediocrity, you pay for it in the long run. There is no better testament to that than the legacy platforms that agency seems attached to. 1-3 years after installing [Drupal/Joomla/Typo3/WordPress/etc.] for the client, they are going to be looking for "something different" in terms of the CMS (we all know this) and they won't be coming back to the same agency. The agency that thinks it's playing it safe is really just hurting themselves when they give their clients something tired and mediocre that anyone can give them. Instead, give them ProcessWire, and they'll know you are different and better (a secret their competition does not have), and they'll be a lifetime client.

As 1st of november the company I work for is going to be integrated into an another, bigger, one where Drupal is the main web driver other developers work with. This is something I have to adapt with, due to the fact that I'm the only one I know, and love, to work with Processwire for web development. I have plans to diffuse my knowledge with PW and convince to use it for all the sites we are going to develop, but right now I'm not very confident to be successful in the short/mid term. I've spent the last two days trying to figure out the mechanisms and the paradigms behind Drupal but the more I discover the sadder I get. Concepts likes regions, blocks and content types don't sound that bad, but bad and alien is their way to act together. Way more intricate and anti-logic as I'm used with PW, where its logic when working with data arises and shines. Moreover there are template files naming convensions, which you must stick with in order to build site pages and pay a good amount of attention to not reach to an "inception-like" structure, an announced mess. There is twig as template engine, which I don't know (yet) but that's the easy part I'm not worried about. Oh...and the design and UX of the backend sucks, IMHO. So, after this good amount of complaining I'm here to ask if some of you with previous experience with Drupal could give me some advices on how to grasp the basics and learn a workflow as similiar as PW can offer. Links, tutorials, modules and whatnot are very welcome from you (virtual hugs too ? ) Thanks in advice. Lorenzo
