Hi, just wanted to add, that hyphenation is also possible via CSS, so adding a class (via a custom entry in Styles) might also be an option. Here's a good intro: All you need to know about hyphenation in CSS | by Richard Rutter | Clearleft Thinking | Medium

A quick test with InputfieldTinyMCE left the ­ intact in the source code view.

I have been using this module for a long time and it's been incredibly useful so I thought it was time to share. It's great for fields where you want to instruct content creators to reference something about a the page, its template, or its parent, or grand parent, etc Specify fields/properties of the page in your field's Description or Notes content, eg: [page.parent.url] [page.title] [page.template.label] You can also define a str_replace to be performed on the returned value, eg: [page.name.(-|_)] which will return the page name with the dashes replaced with underscores. An option to allow raw HTML is available. You can also use hanna codes within your description and notes fields - big thanks to @Robin S for this idea. http://modules.processwire.com/modules/dynamic-description-notes/ https://github.com/adrianbj/DynamicDescriptionNotes/ Hope you find it useful.

Brilliant, thank you Adrian!

@teppo - new hook, eval replaced, and composer support added in the latest version. Thanks for the feedback!

If you ever find that it's just my modules that are holding up this transition for you, let me know and I'll make the change.

You know what, I don't think there is actually a need for it. I was sure there was at the time so I am wondering if PW supported periods in $page->get many years ago (keeping in mind that I actually started using this module in 2015 even though it wasn't public until much later). Or maybe I just wasn't aware back then of the ability to do $page->get('field') vs $page->field in general. Anyway, it's pretty clear that we can now do $page->get('parent.id') so it does look like your solution now works well, so I'll replace it in the next commit. Mind you, I don't really have a problem with eval() in cases like this but I understand the issue of automated scanners picking up on it.

@teppo - I think that's a very desirable use case. I use locked fields quite a lot. I guess I just haven't ever needed them together with this module's functionality before. My quick testing also shows that it is working as expected with Inputfield::renderReadyHook. I am not sure I can think of any issues with it at the moment, so I'll probably commit soon. At the moment, all my modules still rely on the file compiler. I guess I just haven't seen the need to break any 2.x installs because it seems to work just fine and once it's compiled the first time, I don't think there is any significant (if any) overhead. Are you aware of any? As for composer - yeah, I probably should - for whatever reason, Composer still doesn't really gel with me so I tend to avoid it when possible :)

One more thing: I'm wondering if there's some use case where current way of getting properties via eval is necessary? I don't see anything technically wrong with that, but would feel better not using eval at all, and it tends to get flagged by security audits etc. This seems to achieve largely similar results, at least in latest PW version: $replacement = $p->get(implode('.', $properties)); Again my use case for this module is very limited for now, so may be missing something important.

Hey @adrian! Might be a strange use case (considering that it doesn't seem to be supported yet), but I'd like to use this module for a field that's locked (non-editable). Looks like hooking into Inputfield::render won't work in this case, while Inputfield::renderReadyHook does work. To be honest I'm not sure what else that might change/break ? I've made that change locally since this is indeed something I need, and so far it seems to work (though not much testing done yet). Also... have you considered updating the module to PW3? I mean adding the namespace, mainly, so that module compile wouldn't be needed. And it would be great to have this module installable via Composer. Food for thought ??

Everything that offers SMTP would fit here. In case you don't send hundreds of mails a week you could just send it from your server, or setup a very own mail account on your hosting and send mails - with WireMailSMTP of course. With WireMailSMTP you could use a lot of services via SMTP - even Mailgun. Some others would be Mailjet, Sendinblue, Sendgrid and some others. Some are easier to configure than others. I personally use Mailjet's free tier on small or personal projects. The limits are totally fine with 6,000 emails/month or 200 emails per day. In client projects I most often stay with Mailjet but on a paid plan starting at around 15 EUR/month.

Okay so I published the update fixing the issues. And for your case @wbmnfktr I added an option where you can disable the minification if it's messing your layout. By default MJML adds a lot of clutter (whitespaces) in the code and my module is pretty agressive (dumb?) in the way it handles this. So in such case, this option will help out, though you'll get a heavier code (better this way than a non-working one heh). Please let me know if you notice any other issue.

@BrendonKoz Thank you. It works as it has to. But not as I expected. As there is an input of   the code editor shows it when I reopen it. Not when there is a soft hyphen ­. Obviously it is converted to \u00ad, as you said, but it can not be seen. Unless I insert the text in my text cleaner: http://www.2h11.de/tools/clean-text.html My mistake. Errare humanum artificialis intelligentia est. I did not try tinyMCE but I guess it behaves the same. I will see…

I just tested this a bit with HTMLPurifier, and (at least in quick testing) was unable to prevent it (as far as I could tell) from removing the HTML equivalent of the character (using &shy;, or pasting a rendered version of it in directly). Searching the internet as a whole doesn't seem to give much specific information either. Since &amp; worked but &shy; did not, I'm not entirely sure what's going on internally without auditing the underlying code (for HTMLPurifier), and would likely have to do the same for CKEditor and/or ProcessWire. If you change the field from a WYSIWYG interface to a simple textarea, does it work as expected? If so, you might need a CKEditor plugin for the soft hyphen, but I'm simply guessing. In the one Stack Overflow topic I found, most people actually recommended using <wbr> over a soft hyphen - why do you feel it's "kinda outdated"? With the exception of Internet Explorer 11, it has full browser support, and if it works right now (whereas soft hyphen does not) then that's less time you'd need to worry about it. As for the lack of a hyphen, there might be some CSS solutions there, but I'm unsure how well they'd work out. One last thought: I didn't test this in ProcessWire myself -- are you sure it's not just converting the text of &shy; to \u00ad in the database?

Here's one of my latest projects: https://petibol.pt/ Petibol develops and produces of all types of EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) and EPS components and packaging for various industries. This website is a collaboration between Supertiny and GOdesign. Super simple approach: The frontend is just SCSS and vanilla js "components" (no libraries), and pages are built with a blocks system based on a repeater field. Having tried a bunch of stuff between building this site almost a year ago and publishing it (Tailwind, AlpineJS, VUE...) it's pleasing to return to this site's code and compare the approach. Here I've basically set up Laravel Mix to compile SCSS, join and minify a bunch of <1kb js files. A BEM style approach to the styles so that I have a bunch of preset variables for typography, spacing and whatnot, and the JS files follow the same logic of identifying components like the hamburger or the parallax effect by looking for specific data-attributes and going from there. Super clean, performant, and couldn't be easier to pick up and maintain.

Hi @adrian, maybe I've a problem some way related to the one of @xportde. I just installed DynamicDescriptionNotes 0.1.6 in ProcessWire 3.0.200. In DDN module settings I tried both options: "Allow HTML" checked and unchecked. If "Allow HTML" is unchecked then Markdown is "translated to HTML" but output is raw HTML. If "Allow HTML" is checked then Markdown output is raw. I set "Notes" and "Description" (field settings in template context) as follows: Some **Markdown** text `code` [link](/path/to/a/page/). - [page.parent.url] - [page.title] - Test link to [Edit Parent](./?id=[page.parent.id]) What could be the problem?

The latest site of the week reminded me of https://senderkataster.rtr.at/ that I built with a friend some time ago and that I want to share. Tech: ProcessWire (obviously) https://getuikit.com/ (also quite obvious ? ) https://tabulator.info/ for all kinds of filters https://leafletjs.com/ for the map https://basemap.at/ using an Open Government Data License Some GDAL command line magic to transform the overlay source data into PNGs that are stored in ProcessWire pages and can then be queried and correctly placed on the map. ProcessWire has been a great platform for that project! If you need help with a ProcessWire project that needs some geo-magic or powerful web maps drop me line ?

So i tried the other way around and formatted a date using the IntlDateFormatter. This thread helped me find my way: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71874030/local-language-without-strftime-deprecated-but-with-date So imagine we want to output "today" like this (formatted for german) Mittwoch 8 Juni 2022 This was the old way to to it: echo strftime('%A %e %B %Y', strtotime('now')); Since this will be deprecated in PHP 8.1 and removed in PHP 9 now we have to make use of this instead: $fmt = new IntlDateFormatter('de_DE', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL ); $fmt->setPattern('EEEE d LLLL yyyy'); echo $fmt->format(strtotime("now")); The only thing that freaked my out about this was the weird formatting pattern. At first sight it makes no sense (to me), but the ICU documentation offers a big list of available options for formatting the date in any way you could imagine: https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/format_parse/datetime/ If you are looking for a "one liner solution" then this seems to be the right way (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12038558/php-timestamp-into-datetime) echo IntlDateFormatter::formatObject( new DateTime('@' . strtotime("now")), "EEEE d LLLL yyyy", 'de_DE' ); EDIT: Beware that timezone settings get ignored when you work with timestamps. This might get you into some trouble. My solution was to format the timestamp into a date string: echo IntlDateFormatter::formatObject( new DateTime(date("d.m.Y", $timestamp)), "EEEE d LLLL yyyy", 'de_DE' );

Hi everybody, in another post some weeks ago @ryan mentioned that the language-alternate fields were deprecated and that he doesn't expect many will ever use them. As I am using language-alternate fields for image-fields and url-fields, I wonder if there is any other, non-deprecated solution? Thanks and best regards

Yes, I noticed that too in the post https://processwire.com/talk/topic/26947-craft-cms-and-processwire-– a-comparison/?do=findComment&comment=222902 (I assume this is the one you mean), although the exact statement is "borderline deprecated". I too was going to comment because language alternate fields are really useful and I make good use them. It's not just image fields, but other non-text field types. For example, there might be a checkbox that can take values specific to each language, or a localized URL for each language, or different attached files (e.g. PDFs in each language). In general, language-alternative fields become really valuable when producing different versions of output for each language, rather than simply having translations of text. Another purpose for which language-alternate fields can be better, even for text fields, is when building interfaces and outputs for translators - for example, if in the admin one needs to display versions of text in different languages side by side, or grouped in fieldsets by language. So from me it's a big vote for keeping language-alternative fields undeprecated!

https://www.kaumberg.gv.at/ Hello everybody! Today I want to share a project that I've been working on for a year or so: The new website for municipal Kaumberg - a beautiful village near Vienna. To be honest, this project was way more work than I initially expected. The site has tons of content and the client came with lots of good ideas during the process of building this site. For example after we launched the site several organisations of the village realized that the system works great and is easy to use, so they wanted their own section with their own color scheme... Right now the system is maintained by several user accounts that populate content to the site. Some of them only in the news-section, others are allowed to publish to the sub-sites (eg for the fire department). Recently we won the 2nd price out of 190 cities in lower austria - where Kaumberg was by far the smallest one also having the smallest budget of the top rated cities! ### NOTE ### This system was built with scalability in mind. If you know any other municipals (preferable in a german speaking country) that could possibly need a new website using my setup write me a PM. If you are a marketing guru and know how we can sell this product to 100s of municipals, let me know. I know how to do that from the technical point of view ? ### HIGHLIGHTS ### CONTENT Custom multi-level menu for managing loads of content pages that also works well with keyboard navigation ? --- EVENT MANAGEMENT Events are managed via the PW backend and presented as calendar on the website plus can be downloaded as PDF calendar in A3 format for printing: --- CONTENT BLOCKS I've developed a new (private) module called RockMatrix for versatile, easy and fool-proof content creation for this project. This setup ensures that even non-tech-savvy users can create content that looks nice and works on all devices from desktop to mobile: --- SITE SEARCH Another new module that was developed for this project is RockSearch. I hate site searches that do work on the first sight but do not on the second. For example if they show older results on top of newer ones. Or if they do not index content that is not stored within a regular text field but for example as image description. On the other hand I did not want to use ElasticSearch because it seemed to be overhead to send data to another service that is already stored in the database of my PW installation... RockSearch shows results based on different weighing mechanisms, for exampe a search for the garbage collection schedule first shows results that are nearer to the current date than others (both future and past). That means that a date two days in the future will be shown above one that is 10 days in the past. Also results get different score based on where the term was found - matches in the site title get higher scores than matches in the body or in image descriptions or the like. Each content block is a RockMatrix block that has a render() method to define the output on the website and - for RockSearch - has a method called "searchIndex()" that defines the content that is written to the search index that is queried for every search request: This setup makes it super easy to add new content elements and to add them to the search index ? --- SUB-SITES The client can create sub-sites for different organisations of the village having custom color schemes and managing user access: News can be tagged to show up on different areas of the website: --- OTHER The site uses no cookies and can therefore be used without an annoying cookie banner. Page hit statistics are gathered by PageHitCounter and shown by RockHitCounter Some other little features are short-links for social media (eg https://www.kaumberg.gv.at/goto-1027 ) or the possibility for creating custom subdomains for sub-sites like http://araburg.kaumberg.at/ I'm quite sure I forgot lots of great stuff, but I hope you enjoyed reading this article nevertheless ? Looking forward to your feedback!

I really must make more of an effort to add more sites to this forum - we've done some nice work really. Women / Theatre / Justice is a case in point. WTJ is the umbrella title for research and public engagement activities undertaken by academics from various universities in partnership with Clean Break theatre company. Clean Break was founded in the 1970s by two women in prison and focuses on using theatre to help create positive change in the lives of women with experience of the criminal justice system. We wanted to reflect the origins of the organisation so we created a home made 'zine' like design with typewriter fonts and adding noise to the photographs and images to get a photocopied feel: There's not too much bespoke coding going on functionally - we created the usual blog and events as well as a simple photogallery, but most of the technical effort went into working out the best way to apply textures and filters to the images so that the admins could upload new content without needing to phaff around in photoshop ( CSS 'backdrop-filter' for the win). One interesting thing got thrown up in accessibility testing; originally we'd created the design using a fixed with typewriter font and even though we'd set a pretty large font size with good contrast that passed our automated accessibility testing, we found that real world users still had difficulty reading it. So we changed that to a more modern and readable slab serif. Testing with real users is always a good move.

You could use a hook... $wire->addHookBefore('ProcessPageList::find', function(HookEvent $event) { $selector = $event->arguments(0); /* @var Page $page */ $page = $event->arguments(1); if($page->template == 'your_parent_template') { $selector .= ", sort=date, sort=title"; $event->arguments(0, $selector); } }); ...or this module: https://modules.processwire.com/modules/process-page-list-multiple-sorting/

This module provides a very simple interface to a set of named counters. You simply call a single function, next('name'), to pull the next value out of a counter - or to set it up if it does not yet exist. Next() takes a few extra parameters to allow you to increment by values other than 1 or to start at a certain number. This provides some similar functionality to the built-in page naming feature of PW, and to this module recently posted by Stikki but I think it offers a little more flexibility than either. Having said that, I do like the simplicity of Stikki's new auto-increment module. Module Availability Here is my module on Github. Here it is in the module repository. Example Usage Here's how this module can be used to title and name a new page by adding a couple of simple hooks to site/ready.php. This example applies to new pages using a template called 'invoice' that can be quick-added to the page tree. In order to get the following to work, you must edit the template that will be the parent of the 'invoice' template and setup the template for children to "invoice" and set the "Name Format for Children" field to something other than the default blank value (I use title as my value.) <?php /** * Function to recognise our special template. */ function isInvoiceTemplate($template) { return ($template == 'invoice'); } /** * Pre-load the page title for invoice pages with a unique value * which includes a counter component. */ $pages->addHookBefore("Pages::setupNew", function($event) { $page = $event->arguments(0); $is_invoice = isInvoiceTemplate($page->template); $no_inv_num = $page->title == ''; if ($is_invoice && $no_inv_num) { $counter_name = 'WR-' . date('Y'); $number = $this->modules->get('DatabaseCounters')->next($counter_name, 10, 5000); $page->title = $counter_name . '-' . sprintf("%06u", $number); } }); /** * Prevent ProcessPageEdit from forcing an edit of the name if we got here * through a quickAdd from ProcessPageAdd. We can do this because we * preset the title field in the Pages::setupNew hook. */ $pages->addHookAfter("ProcessPageEdit::loadPage", function($event) { $page = $event->return; $is_invoice = isInvoiceTemplate($page->template); $is_temp = $page->hasStatus(Page::statusTemp); if ($is_invoice && $is_temp) { $page->removeStatus(Page::statusTemp); $event->return = $page; } }); Note, the above code + module is one direct solution to the problem posted here by RyanJ.

https://www.baumrock.com/portfolio/individuelles-crm-und-controlling-tool/ I'm happy to share my biggest and most interesting ProcessWire project so far with you It's a 100% custom office-management solution that helps my client to keep track of all their contacts, projects and finance/controlling stuff. Conception was done back in 2016 and the software is productive since begin of this year. My client is very happy with the result and so am I. Some technical insights: Everything is done inside the PW Admin. I'm using the Reno Theme with some custom colors. In the beginning I was not sure if I should stay with the pw admin or build my own admin-framework but now I'm VERY happy that I went with PW Almost all of my custom Process Pages use my RockDatatables module - there are still some limitations but without it, this project would not have been possible For the charts I used Google Charts and chartjs - both play well together with the datatables and make it possible to display filtered data instantly: also my handsontable module was created for this project to have a nice and quick option for matrix data inputs: Lister and ListerPro were no options as i needed much more flexibility regarding data presentation (like colorization, filtering and building sums of selected rows): invoices are highly customisable as well and easy to create. PDFs are created by php and mPDF by the way: all data is dummy data populated via my Module RockDummyData have a nice weekend everybody

https://www.baumrock.com/portfolio/event-voting-tool-social-impact-award/ Another nice little Showcase of what can quickly be done with Processwire I sponsored this voting tool for the Austrian Social Impact Award ceremony (https://socialimpactaward.net/) helping them to pick the winner of the audience voting. The site is based on the default UIKIT theme (obviously) and i basically just placed the logo + changed the colors. The site structure is also very simple, having only one parent to store all teams, one parent to store all votes and one page to show the results (to the admins): The Projects-Template stores some informations of the project and the vote-count: All the votings are single pages as well having only one checkbox, ensuring that every code can only vote once (every visitor got one code at the entrance): Votes are created via Tracy Console as easy as that: The hook that creates the passwords is also simple: /** * create unique code for voting */ $wire->addHookAfter('Pages::saveReady', function($event) { $page = $event->arguments(0); if($page->template != 'vote') return; if(!$page->title) { $rand = ''; while(!$rand OR pages("title=$rand")->count() > 0) $rand = randomPassword(); $page->title = $page->name = $rand; } }); And finally the check if the vote for this code is already done (inside the vote-template). the whole vote-template is as simple as that (thanks to the awesomeness of markup regions and functionsapi): <?php namespace ProcessWire; // handle votes (url segments) if($id = $sanitizer->int($input->urlSegment1)) { // if voting is locked redirect to thankyou message if($page->votingdone) $session->redirect($page->url); // else set voting $team = pages($id); if($team->id) { // increase voting for this team $team->setAndSave('votes', $team->votes+1); // lock this votings page $page->setAndSave('votingdone', 1); } } ?> <?php // if voting is done show thank you and lock page if($page->votingdone): ?> <region id="main"> <div class="uk-card uk-card-primary uk-card-body uk-width-1-1 uk-margin-small-top uk-text-center uk-border-rounded"> <h3 class="uk-card-title">Danke für Ihre Teilnahme!</h3> </div> </region> <?php return; endif; ?> <region id="main"> <div class="uk-text-center uk-margin-top"><?= $page->parent->body ?></div> <?php foreach(pages('template=team, sort=random') as $team): ?> <div class="uk-card uk-card-default uk-card-body uk-width-1-1 uk-margin-small-top uk-border-rounded"> <h3 class="uk-card-title uk-text-center"><?= $team->title ?></h3> <ul uk-accordion="collapsible: true"> <li> <p class="uk-accordion-title uk-text-center"><span uk-icon="icon: chevron-down"></span> Beschreibung anzeigen</p> <div class="uk-accordion-content"> <?= $team->body ?> </div> </li> </ul> <a href="<?= $team->id ?>" class="uk-button uk-button-large uk-button-primary uk-width-1-1 uk-border-rounded">Für dieses Projekt abstimmen</a> </div> <?php endforeach; ?> </region> I'm still impressed by ProcessWire and how much can be achieved with how little effort

If you want to make it a little cleaner, you can do: $articles = $pages->find("template=articles, parent.status<".Page::statusUnpublished); Now you know when looking back on your code, what status you are looking for. Also, I changed the operator from != to < because the numbers that drive these status values are bitwise and are added to together. This way you could also have hidden applied to the category and it would work as expected, but if you use the != you'll get the articles returned again, because the status value will be the addition of unpublished and hidden. Here are the values: https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/blob/6cba9c7c34069325ee8bfc87e34e7f1b5005a18e/wire/core/Page.php#L76 Note that 2049 is the addition of statusOn and statusUnpublished. Throw statusHidden in there as well and you end up with 3073.
