The core version has been bumped to 3.0.233 this week. While there aren't a lot of commits, there are some major updates to the core PagesVersions module. I also thought a version bump would be helpful as there's also a new PagesVersionsPro version released which requires features only available in 3.0.233. The PagesVersions module is now pretty much finished in terms of its API and feature set. This week the ability to save and restore partial versions was added, and that was the main remaining thing. By partial versions, I mean the ability to specify what fields are included when a version is saved or restored. Though I think it's primarily useful on the restore side. So if you find you just want to restore one or more particular fields from a past version, rather than all the fields, now you can. The core PageTable field was also updated to support versions, partially anyway. It supports versioning of items already in the page table, but doesn't handle versioning of items that you might add or remove within a version. It turns out it's going to be a lot of work to do that, so I settled with just partial support for this week. As it is, if you add a new item to the PageTable while in a version, then it'll ask you if you want to import it once you edit the live version. If you delete an item, it'll be deleted from all versions. That's how it works temporarily until it fully supports versions. ProFields Table now also supports versions. But there is one case where it doesn't: paginated table fields. A future version of Table will add support for that. Until then, the PagesVersionsPro module does make it clear when a paginated table field won't be added to the version. So now all fields in ProcessWire are supported, except for certain scenarios in PageTable and Table fields. A new version of the PagesVersionsPro module was released as well, and this is posted in the PagesVersionPro support board download thread here. This module made a lot of progress this week and will continue to evolve in the coming weeks. I'll copy/paste the version 2 changelog for it below this post. This weekend or early next week I also plan to release new versions of ProFields Table and Combo. These versions facilitate versions when doing partial save or restore operations that include file or image fields in Table or Combo fields. I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Winter/Christmas/Hanukkah/Festivus holiday! Version 2 changelog for PagesVersionsPro Added the ability to select which fields are included during a restore. When doing a restore, it now detects which fields differ between "live" and "version", making it easier for you to choose which fields to restore. When editing a version the “Delete” tab in the page editor now refers to deleting the version rather than trashing the page. The “compare” option has now been improved so that it can better detect differences between the live and version page. During restore, if you “Choose which fields to restore” you now have the option to compare them individually to see what is different between live and version. Added "page-edit-versions" permission so that you can limit the capabilities of this module to specific user roles.

Hello Ryan, hello everyone, I've just discovered ProcessWire and I'm delighted. :-) As a beginner with this CMS, I'd like to share one or two little thoughts that are important when discovering and evaluating this tool. 1/ I installed Softaculous for the first time, and the installer doesn't offer to integrate a site profile as with the latest version, which I downloaded and installed manually. It was by studying the documentation that I learned about the existence of profiles (and many other things) and the installation procedure and, if I hadn't spent time reading the tutorials, I'd never have understood the concept of profiles and templates which, incidentally, I still don't fully understand, but I'm working on it ;) All this to say that the beginner who installs with Softaculous has every chance of getting lost if he doesn't have the patience and motivation to read the docs first, which we never do when we test unknown CMSes in general. :-D By installing ProcessWire manually via FTP, it's already much better. Which brings me to point 2/ In the presentation of this CMS, it's repeated very often (too often) that it's simple, easy, within everyone's reach and, while it's true that someone with a bit of experience can manage it because the documentation and help systems are very well done, the lambda user who's used to CMS but isn't a developer will fear his own limitations. I myself am impressed by the quality and possibilities offered, but I feel very small when I read the various topics on these forums. How far would I go?) Having said that, I think this is a wonderful product and thank you all warmly for having invented it and maintaining it for everyone's happiness. :)

I think it's a good point, and prior to more recent versions, PW included several site profiles. But by and large the community preferred PW to be slim and not include all the site profiles, so we changed it to just include 1 profile (the minimal blank profile). This is the preference of established users of ProcessWire. But for new users that might not already be familiar with PW, I think having something more for a site profile is preferable. The solution is for PW's installer to be able to download the other profiles automatically if the user wants them. I think this was brought up before, but I haven't done it yet, though perhaps should soon.

Welcome on board Webjack !! Bienvenue dans la communauté ProcessWire. De mon expérience, ProcessWire est en effet un CMS orienté développeur. Pour cette cible c'est un outil très agréable et efficace grâce notamment à son API. Comme indiqué sur la page d'accueil, il est simple à utilisé pour les clients. Pour les créateurs de site il est indispensable d'avoir un minimum de connaissance de PHP. Cela dit entre la documentation qui est très bien faite et le support de la communauté sur le forum, on peut rapidement progresser. As far as you can imagine ?

Hello community! I want to share a new module I've been working on that I think could be a big boost for multi-language ProcessWire sites. Fluency is available in the ProcessWire Modules Directory, via Composer, and on Github Some background: I was looking for a way for our company website to be efficiently translated as working with human translators was pretty laborious and a lack of updating content created a divergence between languages. I, and several other devs here, have talked about translation integrations and the high quality services now available. Inspired by what is possible with ProcessWire, I built Fluency, a third-party translation service integration for ProcessWire. With Fluency you can: Translate any plain textarea or text input Translate any TinyMCE or CKEditor (inline, or regular) Translate page names/URLs Translate in-template translation function wrapped strings Translate modules, both core and add-ons Installation and usage is completely plug and play. Whether you're building a new multi-language site, need to update a site to multi-language, or simply want to stop manually translating a site and make any language a one-click deal, it could not be easier to do it. Fluency works by having you match the languages configured in ProcessWire to those offered by the third party translation service you choose. Currently Fluency works with DeepL and Google Cloud Translation. Module Features Translate any multilanguage field while editing any page. Translate fields in Repeater, Repeater Matrix, Table, Fieldset Page, Image descriptions, etc. Translate any file that added in the ProcessWire language pages. It's possible to translate the entire ProcessWire core in ~20 minutes Provide intuitive translation features that your clients and end-users can actually use. Fluency is designed for real-world use by individuals of all skill levels with little to no training. Its ease-of-use helps encourage users to adopt a multilanguage workflow. Start for free, use for free. Translation services supported by Fluency offer generous free tiers that can support regular usage levels. Fluency is, and will always be, free and open source. Use more than one Translation Engine. You may configure Fluency to use either DeepL, Google Cloud Translation, or both by switching between them as desired. AI powered translations that rival humans. DeepL provides the highest levels of accuracy in translation of any service available. Fluency has been used in many production sites around the world and in commercial applications where accuracy matters. Deliver impressive battle-tested translation features your clients can count on. Disable translation for individual fields. Disable translation for multilanguage fields where values aren't candidates for translation such as phone numbers or email addresses Configure translation caching. Caching can be enabled globally so that the same content translated more than once anywhere in ProcessWire doesn't count against your API usage and provides lightning fast responses. Set globally ignored words and text. Configure Fluency to add exclusionary indicators during translation so that specific words or phrases remain untranslated. This works either for specific strings alone, or present in other content while remaining grammatically correct in translation. Choose how translation is handled for fields. Configure Fluency to have buttons for either "Translate from {default language}" on each tab, or "Translate To All Languages" to populate every language for a field from any language to any language you have configured. No language limits. Configure as few or as many languages as you need. 2, 5, 10, 20 language website? Absolutely possible. If the translation service you choose offers a language, you can use it in ProcessWire. When new languages are introduced by third parties, they're ready to use in Fluency. Visually see what fields and language tabs have modified content. Fluency adds an visual indication to each field language tab to indicate which has different content than when opening the edit page. This helps ensure that content updated in one language should be updated in other languages to prevent content divergence between languages. Render language meta tags and ISO codes. Output alt language meta tags, add the current language's ISO code to your <html lang=""> attribute to your templates that are automatically generated from accurate data from the third party translation service. Build a standards-compliant multi-language SEO ready page in seconds with no additional configuration. Render language select elements. - Fluency can generate an unordered list of language links to switch between languages when viewing your pages. You can also embed a <select> element with JS baked in to switch between languages when viewing your pages. Render it without JS to use your own. Manage feature access for users. Fluency provides a permission that can be assigned to user roles for managing who can translate content. Track your translation account usage. View your current API usage, API account limit, and remaining allotment to keep an eye on and manage usage. (Currently only offered by DeepL) Use the global translation tool. Fluency provides translation on each field according to the languages you configure in ProcessWire. Use the global translation tool to translate any content to any language. Use Fluency from your templates and code. All translation features, usage statistics, cache control, and language data are accessible globally from the $fluency object. Perform any operation and get data for any language programmatically wherever you need it. Build custom AJAX powered admin translation features for yourself. Fluency provides a full RESTful API within the ProcessWire admin to allow developers to add new features for ProcessWire applications powered by the same API that Fluency uses. Robust plain-language documentation that helps you get up to speed fast. Fluency is extremely easy to use but also includes extensive documentation for all features both within the admin and for the Fluency programming API via the README.md document. The module code itself is also fully annotated for use with the ProDevTools API explorer. Is and will always be data safe. Adding, upgrading, or removing Fluency does not modify or remove your content. ProcessWire handles your data, Fluency sticks to translating. Full module localization. Translate Fluency itself to any language. All buttons, messages, and UI elements for Fluency will be presented in any language you choose for the ProcessWire admin. Built for expansion. Fluency provides translation services as modular "Translation Engines" with a full framework codebase to make adding new translation services easier and more reliable. Contributions for new translation services are welcome. Fluency is designed and built to provide everything you need to handle incredibly accurate translations and robust tools that make creating and managing multi-language sites a breeze. Built through research on translation plugins from around the web, it's the easiest and most friendly translation implementation for both end users and developers on any CMS/CMF anywhere. Fluency complements the built-in first class language features of ProcessWire. Fluency continues to be improved with great suggestions from the community and real-world use in production applications. Big thanks to everyone who has helped make Fluency better. Contributions, suggestions, and bug reports welcome! Please note that the browser plugin for Grammarly conflicts with Fluency (as it does with many web applications). To address this issue it is recommended that you disable Grammarly when using Fluency, or open the admin to edit pages in a private window where Grammarly may not be loaded. This is a long-standing issue in the larger web development community and creating a workaround may not be possible. If you have insight as to how this may be solved please visit the Github page and file a bugfix ticket. Enhancements Translate All Fields On A Page Compatibility with newest rewrite of module is in progress... An exciting companion module has been written by @robert which extends the functionality of Fluency to translate all fields on a page at once. The module has several useful features that can make Fluency even more useful and can come in handy for translating existing content more quickly. I recommend reading his comments for details on how it works and input on best practices later in this thread. Get the module at the Github repo: https://github.com/robertweiss/ProcessTranslatePage Requirements: ProcessWire 3.0+ UIKit Admin Theme That's Fluency in a nutshell. The Module Is Free This is my first real module and I want to give it back to the community as thanks. This is the best CMS I've worked with (thank you Ryan & contributors) and a great community (thank you dear reader).

I have no idea how they configure PHP, you probably already know this page: https://faq.o2switch.fr/hebergement-mutualise/tutoriels-cpanel/selecteur-version-php You may also try to install missing PHP modules corresponding to your errors (see video). Usually on Debian I only need to add this modules "php-mysql php-gd php-zip php-mbstring" but on another Linux distribution you have more or less to install.

Lately I've been really enjoying this channel, and this playlist has been very productive for a cool coding holiday: It has a similar vibe in ways to no-man/bass communion and nosound out of Italy.

Sorry @Flashmaster82 I guess I will not implement this on the FrontendForms module, but on the FrontendContact module. That was a misunderstanding. The FrontendForms module is only the base class for all others. If you need such a feature you can do it inside the isValid() method (creating a new page, sending mails and so on). That should not be a problem. if($form->isValid()){ // create the new page } Best regards

It is on the list as an additional feature, but not in the next time, because I am using the module only to send emails.

Now in the modules library at https://processwire.com/modules/process-db-migrate/.

Hello everyone. ? WordPress, Squarespace or Wix? Uh...not for me ? These commercial CMS, as powerful as they are, don't suit me and I generally use very simple CMS, Open-source and easily modulable to get my results but their rigid concept doesn't allow me to progress and it's exactly for the reasons you develop @poljpocket the arguments that I'm interested in PW that I only discovered a few days ago. Of course, my minimal skills in PHP or other programming languages are a hindrance but, as @Nicolas writes, "between the documentation, which is very well done, and the support of the community on the forum, you can make rapid progress". I'm counting on it and I'll finally be able to realize my dream of building a tool that will allow me to display my data as I see fit. ? That ties in with my initial post, which regretted that ProcessWire's communication didn't emphasize the fact that it's aimed specifically at developers or people working to become one. Now, it's also an opportunity to win over tinkerers of my kind who just want to go further, and that's what's so wonderful about ProcessWire, its documentation and its community. Thank you for your warm welcome. ?

Let me share my story first, you will see why it's important for this discussion. I am a fullstack web developer and I have always found CMSes to be very limiting because usually, their philosophy plays a big part in what you can do and if at all, how it should be done. Most of them even force you into a lot of predefined concepts for the frontend, too. Take WordPress (which to be honest, is not a CMS at all), you start with posts, comments and pages and are stuck with a weird loop concept for the frontend in which posts always get a "special treatment". In 90% of cases if you want to use WordPress as a true CMS, you can only do that by disabling most of the predefined stuff outright and installing a crapton of extensions to just have some custom structures available. With ProcessWire, all of that is different. You start with a clean slate. No predefined content, no structures, no nothing. You can get some niche output with a site profile but changing just anything about the frontend of these site profiles takes you straight into the code. You can't install a plugin to have a fully-fledged shop, add some products and then install a $50 theme, upload the logo and change some colors and call it a day. You have this wonderful API which - as a developer - really is a godsent and allows you to create the most complex structures and have complete control and freedom in the frontend because it literally allows you to do whatever you want. And in the end, we can offer an editing experience to our clients which is a hundred times easier to understand and use than anything done with e.g. WordPress. I think that exactly is what PW's message on the homepage is: It is easy to use for developers while creating the project and easy to use for the clients of the developer when using the finished product. So, to go full circle: I think you are used to systems like WordPress, Squarespace or Wix and expect to have a working website after installing ProcessWire. But this is not the case since ProcessWire is taylored towards web developers. This is also why you need to learn at least a considerable part of the API to then go into the code and create your website, app, own API or whatever your project entails. I don't want do discourage you and seeing new people getting into PW is always a blast. But I fear that without coding, ProcessWire might not be the right choice.

Fluency has been added to the ProcessWire modules directory! https://processwire.com/modules/fluency/ The readme and module documentation has been expanded significantly to document all of the features available to you when using Fluency, including markup rendering. Enjoy!

I've just made a module that exposes the 'published' date under the page's Settings tab, so you can update it. It appears to be working nicely, but any feedback would be very welcome as I'm new to this still. https://codeberg.org/artfulrobot/EditablePublishedDate/src/branch/main/EditablePublishedDate.module.php

Got tagged by @monollonom over in this Weekly Update post. Dropped a new Fluency feature. One click translation for any module, core or otherwise. I translated all user-facing strings for Fluency itself to Slovak in 4 seconds. This may be useful for developers who need to get modules that end users will interact with in the admin localized much much faster. This uses a feature in Fluency where you can bulk translate a large group of texts to from one language to another at the same time. Just for kicks I translated the entire ProcessWire core in under 30 minutes- that includes modules I don't even use. It would certainly need some proofreading, but the amount of work up front is significantly reduced. Available on the dev branch.

@FireWire This plugin has saved me so much time with a site I'm building for a client. Is there anywhere I can sponsor you or a way to send a few bucks your way?

New version pushed to the dev branch with fixes for InputfieldTable and FieldsetPage elements. Please let me know if this solves the issue @monollonom https://github.com/SkyLundy/Fluency/tree/development Thanks for everyone's patience. Work has been crazy (and a long-ago planned vacation didn't help). Thanks!
