Last week we had a big update of Pro modules and this week we have another batch of Pro module updates. These are now posted and available for download in the relevant boards: ProDevTools Profiler Pro (v3) ProDevTools Sitemap XML (v4) ProDevTools ProcessWire API Explorer (v5) ProDevTools User Activity (v7) LoginRegisterPro Frontend File Inputfield (v3) FormBuilder Stripe Processor (v3) FormBuilder Stripe Inputfield (v9) If you use the ProcessWireUpgrade module, it can also tell you when Pro module updates are available. In addition to the Pro module updates, we also have a new dev branch core version available: 3.0.228. ProcessWire 3.0.228 primarily focuses on fixing newly reported issues. We'll likely merge this version to the master/main branch sometime early next week because it contains a couple of fixes that belong on the master/main branch. For instance, there was a bug with ProcessWire's pages_parents table (present for the last year) that could affect the result on has_parent selectors in some situations. There was also a bug found by @Robin S where ProcessWire's image fields weren't using the stored/cached value for width/height on images, and instead was pulling it from the image file, which takes more time. So for image-heavy pages, 3.0.228 theoretically could offer a nice performance benefit (especially in the page editor), and is a worthwhile upgrade. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

I did revised and recoded my personal blog (journal). It is running with Processwire smoothly since years. A decade ago I started that journal using Textpattern.. So I thought, hey, why not putting it back to Textpattern? I still have a lot of sympathy to Textpattern. Probably because it is the system I learned on.. After setting it all up – it made me giggle every time when I remembered how to do, and work around things – I was happy with the result. After this little travel back in time, I deleted Textpattern again to keep on using Processwire. Nothing else to say. Why am I posting this little story? I dont know... But this might be the right place where people understand what I am saying.. ;) Thanks a lot!

This week I've been finishing updates for many of the Pro modules with new versions posted today for the following modules: FormBuilder (v55) ProCache (4.0.5) ProMailer (v13) ProDrafts (v10) ProDevTools Form Auto Saver and Reminder, also posted in FormBuilder (v3) ProDevTools Page Auto Saver and Live Preview (v8) ProFields Combo (v12) ProFields RepeaterMatrix (v11) ProFields Table (v25) ProFields Verified URL (v6) ProFields Textareas (v10) ProFields Multiplier (v15) These new versions don't necessarily contain new features, with a few exceptions. But they do contain maintenance updates for PHP 8.2+ and jQuery 3.6+ where needed. They also contain various small fixes, improvements or documentation adjustments. Pro modules not mentioned above will also receive updates in the coming week (or weeks). I thoroughly tested all of these modules with ProcessWire 3.0.227 before posting. But all of these versions are posted as "dev" or "development" versions. What does that mean? It means that that at the time it was uploaded, I was the only one using it so far, and thus they've only been tested thoroughly by me, today at least. The term "dev" doesn't mean that the version isn't stable. In fact, often times the dev version may be more stable than the last posted non-dev version. (Kind of like how the core dev branch is often more stable than the master branch). The dev designation just means that I can't claim it to be the most stable version until it's been out for a little while longer, with more people testing it. If you see a dev version posted that has been out for several weeks, then you can usually consider that the current stable version. The exception would be if it also says "beta", or something else to indicate it's a testing version. Early this week the core master/main branch was also updated to version 3.0.227. This version contains fixes for bugs reported since 3.0.226 master/main was released. A 3.0.228 bump is also in the works for the core master/main branch. I'll likely be working on Pro module updates for another 1-2 weeks here, along with issue fixes to the core. As a result, the 3.0.228 version will likely be merged to the master/main branch in the next couple weeks as well. I figure we might as well keep updating the main/master branch with small fixes and such until we get into more major dev branch updates. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

I remember using Textpattern way back in 2005 or 2006. I'm old (by web developer standards).

When using DDEV you can check if everything works with your specific installation just by changing a value in .ddev/config.yaml of your project. Here are all the possible database types that are supported: https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/extend/database-types/ Yes, you need to install DDEV first. But you'll never ever have these kind of problems or fears any more. Locally I'm on MariaDB 10.6.12 InnoDB on most projects and have no issues.

Thanks mate! It worked Sorry for the late reply

I think this might be related to: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-issues/issues/1611 And it should be solved at least from 3.0.204 onward.

I use functions from it all the time to provide pop-up access to matrix fields from the front-end.

Hi everyone, At my agency, we usually speak in a non-formal way ("per Du") which led me to create this deviated version of @dotnetic's German language pack for Swiss German which uses non-formal language and doesn't use ß (we use ss). The module can be downloaded here: https://processwire.com/modules/swissgerman The source can be found here: https://github.com/poljpocket/processwire-languagepack-dech Changes & suggestions are very welcome. You can post here to inform me of any mistakes or make a PR on GitHub. Thanks already for helping out ? Big thanks to @dotnetic for letting me use his language pack as a starting point. Big thanks to @Nico Knoll and @yellowled for their initial work on the translations before @dotnetic took over.

Speaking of Softaculous, the PW download page links to Bitnami and AMPSS, but Bitnami's apparently dropped support for PW (a broken integration connection somewhere?), and AMPSS, although likely still works since it's a desktop version of Softaculous, doesn't have a landing page for PW. Super pumped to see an across-the-board update of the Pro modules. I commend Ryan's project management abilities. Fighting off scope creep and staying on-task is a very difficult thing to do (at least for me) when solo-developing, so many compliments to you on that!

@zota Hi, our little conversation hit a zone in my old brain and i ended creating a little plugin that may be useful for your need https://github.com/virtualgadjo/pw-tinymce-div-plugin just in case ? have a nice day

This week there have been a few updates to the core on the dev branch, but nothing major. Next week I'll be bumping up the version to 3.0.227 and then likely merging back to the master/main branch again. While there aren't major updates relative to 3.0.226, that means there isn't a lot to test or break, so it makes sense to keep updating the main/master branch until we get into more significant updates on the dev branch. In addition to getting into more significant dev branch updates, I'm also planning to put out version updates on nearly all the Pro modules in the upcoming weeks. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Hi, glad to hear this, ? it took me some time to find out the righ way to do this,, this method allows you to insert many kind of templates, you can just choose the one you need on click on the template button have a nice day

Happy 1st of September! Now that we've got the new main/master version out and running smoothly, I've been catching up with some client work this week. I'll need to do some of that next week too. But we'll also be fine tuning the core and fixing anything that comes up in issue reports. We may have have another master version out with these kinds of minor updates before digging into more major updates, feature requests and PRs on the dev branch this month. If you've not yet upgraded to 3.0.226 yet, I'd encourage you to give it a try. So far all reports have been positive and I've not heard of anyone running into any upgrade issues yet. Thanks and have a great weekend!
