It has been a great meeting yesterday ? We are working on something... ?

@ryan great to see this module updated. Would you consider adding this feature to the next version: https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessExportProfile/issues/15

This week there is a new version of the Site Profile Exporter module released (ProcessExportProfile). This is the module that was used to export last week's Invoices Application Site Profile. While this module has been around for a decade now, this latest version makes some nice improvements, which I'll cover below. @bernhard pointed out to me that he's using the module to make a new site profile, but he found it cumbersome to enter all the profile information every time he wanted to export the profile. So this new version now lets you update an existing profile with 1-click, making it much easier to re-export a profile. This version also adds a preview of what your profile will look like in the ProcessWire installer (the part where the user would select it for installation). Lastly, this version has several other small improvements and fixes as well. If you've ever thought of building a site profile, this module now makes it that much easier. This week I've also been starting to focus on the next long term client project, which is kind of a different and unique one that I look forward to. That's in part because I expect it will also involve a lot of improvements to the ProcessWire core and ProFields modules as part of it. Some of my favorite ProcessWire improvements have accompanied projects like this. There just isn't any substitute for real-life, large-scale projects when it comes to improving and optimizing the core and modules. Next week will be a shortened week here, so I'll likely post the usual weekly update Thursday rather than Friday. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

The invoices application site profile that I uploaded last week now has a companion blog post: https://processwire.com/blog/posts/invoices-site-profile/ Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Hello ProcessWire community, it's been a while since I last shared a project showcase with you all ? Today, I'm excited to present a recent project we've been working on: The website of the Austrian artist Tanja Boukal - www.boukal.at This project has been an interesting journey, and I'm excited to highlight some of the features and solutions we implemented: First off, I had to make the project run on my local development computer. That was quick and easy thanks to DDEV, where you can easily define the setup in a simple yaml file (eg php7.4, mariadb 10.2, etc) and then update the setup to a current one and see what breaks and then apply all updates ? Then, we tackled the challenge of cleaning up everything from the old ProcessWire website (not done by me). The page was quite a mess. I'm not blaming anybody for that, but I guess we all know the problem: The developer has some structure in his/her had and it works great at the beginning. But then the real world kicks in and slightly different needs pop up here and there and quickly the initially planned structure is not sufficient any more. We need a gallery on a page we didn't plan upfront, or we need some additional text above or below some other elements where we don't have Inputfields... So the client ended up creating several pages on the root level to be able to input the desired content and then link wildly to those hidden pages. Actually I think she did a great job, because she got things done without needing help from a developer (which costs money as we all know). During that process and thanks to RockPageBuilder we got rid of many unnecessary templates while providing the client with a lot more flexibility than before ? Before the relaunch: After the relaunch (with AdminStyleRock for styling the backend in the client's colors): Not only was the content on the old PW site structured completely different than on the new one, we also had two WordPress blogs that had been around that we wanted to integrate into the new website. Both RockShell and RockFrontend's DOM-Tools where extremely helpful in that process! We even used @FireWire great Fluency module to translate imported blog posts on the fly! This command is simply put into /site/modules/Site/RockShell/Commands/ImportAegean.php and will then instantly be available to RockShell as import:aegean command ? And then you can run "rockshell import:aegean", watch it do its work and enjoy ? Another pain for the client was that many people in the arts industry still rely on printed information. So she wanted to provide all the information about her work not only on her website but also as downloadable PDFs. On the old website this process was all done manually and whenever she had a new work/catalogue/project to share she had several things to update. Now she only updates that information on one place and RockPdf creates an updated PDF for her - with all entries sorted automatically by date ? As mentioned RockPageBuilder adds a lot of flexibility to the website and makes editing content easier than ever before: But that's not a one-way-road! Where necessary we can still provide a more rigid structure and add custom fields that show up at dedicated places not movable by the client - for example date, cover-picture and teaser-text that should show up on all blog pages at the very top and at the exact same place: After that identical header section the client is free to choose from all available content elements like regular text, downloads or youtube videos (fully gdpr compliant without the client thinking about that). The work section showcases her artworks, projects, exhibitions and catalogues. All are linked to each other with the great ConnectPageFields module. So for example the https://www.boukal.at/work/projects/the-aegean-project/ has several other pages connected and also has its own blog! Ah, every aspect of the website is multilingual, which is also cool and where ProcessWire shines once more - especially with one-click-translations thx to Fluency! Another nice feature is that the page shows indicators for external links: This is a CSS-only solution and quite easy to implement (using LESS syntax): // style external links with icon body > *:not(#tracy-debug):not(.no-icon) { a[href^="http://"]:not([href*="www.boukal.at"]):not(.no-icon):after, a[href^="https://"]:not([href*="www.boukal.at"]):not(.no-icon)::after { content: url("/site/templates/images/external-link.svg"); display: inline-block; position: relative; top: 3px; margin-left: 5px; } } The site has top-notch performance thanks to the brilliant ProCache module and we did do some basic lighthouse optimisations! Hosting is done by me as well and for quality assurance we are monitoring all services with uptime kuma including a monthly report built again with RockPdf ? I find it quite funny that these 6 spikes show loading times of around one second - that's less than the loading time of an average website! All other checks finished within < 100ms (from the same data center). The spikes happen when content is updated and ProCache has to rebuild the static copy of the homepage showing how much of a difference this treasure makes thx to Ryan ? Site statistics are collected using Matomo to provide a great user experience without an annoying cookie banner. Consent for Youtube videos is requested on demand when a video is clicked on. Last but not least all the code is under version control and changes are pushed to the live server simply by doing a git commit (using RockMigrations deployment tools): So once the client requests a change and I'm done with the update I simply do a "git push" and GitHub does the rest and two minutes later the changes are live ??‍♂️ I hope you enjoyed reading and I hope you like the site as much as we do ? I'm happy to hear what you think and if you find something to improve please let us know! ? PS: If you like what you see and want to push your next project to the next level I'm happy to do consulting on an hourly basis so that you can efficiently pull my 10 years of ProcessWire knowledge into your work ? Let's meet at cal.baumrock.com - always happy to see real faces instead of avatars ?

Tracy has included the updated version of Adminer since it was released almost 3 years ago now, so just update to the latest version and you'll be fine.

This exact module helped me to build and maintain all my starters for clients and sideprojects for a very long time now. So this update is highly appreciated! ?

Hi all, I'm happy to share with you this website we launched two weeks ago for a Swiss movie in pre-production phase. The client wanted to have a blog to document the project and allow users to contribute posts through a form but also with a login to the admin which — once approved — gives them access to more options for their contribution’s content. Right at the beginning they came to us with scientific visualizations as references and thus I finally got to try D3.js. I’ve known about it for a very long time but never got a chance to try it out. It wasn’t easy but in the end I managed to get (what I think is) a pretty satisfying result. And here is a sample of the modules we used: - Fluency ⭐ - TracyDebugger - FormBuilder - RepeaterMatrix - AdminRestrictBranch - FieldtypeOembed - PageRenameOptions - MarkupComponents - Login Magic Link: this is a new one allowing to login with a link sent to the user’s email (inspired by this thread). It’s almost ready to share but I want to create a Process to have an overview of the generated links first Enjoy!

InputfieldText (and other inputfield types that extend InputfieldText such as InputfieldTextarea) has a "noTrim" setting that is false by default, which is what causes leading and trailing whitespace to be trimmed out of the field value. This setting isn't included in the config options for text fields (not sure why, perhaps because it's rarely needed) but you can add a config option for it with a hook: $wire->addHookAfter('InputfieldText::getConfigInputfields', function(HookEvent $event) { /** @var InputfieldText */ $inputfield = $event->object; /** @var InputfieldWrapper $wrapper */ $wrapper = $event->return; $field = $inputfield->hasField; // Only for inputfields that are associated with a Field object if(!$field) return; // Add checkbox field to config to control noTrim setting /** @var InputfieldCheckbox $f */ $f = $event->wire()->modules->get('InputfieldCheckbox'); $f->name = 'noTrim'; $f->label = 'No trim'; $f->label2 = 'Do not trim whitespace from the field value'; $f->checked($field->noTrim); if(!$field->noTrim) $f->collapsed = Inputfield::collapsedYes; $wrapper->add($f); }); This will add a "No trim" checkbox to text fields, and if you tick the checkbox the field value won't be trimmed. Result:

Hi @flydev ?? I had contact my host that they should set the innodb_buffer_pool_size to 70% of the available RAM based on this article here https://mariadb.com/kb/en/converting-tables-from-myisam-to-innodb/. I didn't heard anything from them yet. Server RAM is 64GB I also have done some code refactoring for the specific field which helped a little bit. On the live site/live server I had this code inside a pagefield in the custom php code setting: // Didn't use the has_parent selector here because it was buggy (not collecting all childrens) $roots = wire('pages')->find("template=domain_root, id!=64098"); $pagearray = new PageArray(); foreach($roots as $root){ $pagearray->import($root->find("template!=pikettdienst-overview|pikettdienst-category|pikett-date|calendar-item")); } $event->return = $pagearray; The TTFB is 3.28s. PW Version is 2.7.3 and MyISAM Engine DOMContentLoaded: 4.37 and Load: 4.40s ----------------------- On the dev site/dev server I had refactored this code to this and placed it inside the /site/ready.php: $wire->addHookAfter('InputfieldPage::getSelectablePages', function($event) { if($event->object->hasField == 'shareContent') { $rootIds = wire('pages')->findIDs("template=domain_root, id!=64098"); $pagearray = new PageArray(); if(wireCount($rootIds) > 0) { $rootIds = implode("|", $rootIds); $pagearray = wire('pages')->find("has_parent=$rootIds, template!=pikettdienst-overview|pikettdienst-category|pikett-date|calendar-item"); } $event->return = $pagearray; } }); The TTFB is 6.28s. PW Version is 3.0.165 and InnoDB Engine. Before refactoring the TTFB was 10s. DOMContentLoaded: 11.85s and Load: 12.90s When I deactive the AdminThemeUikit and use the classic one it loads faster. DOMContentLoaded: 7.15s and Load: 7.20s but TTFB stays same. Why is the AdminThemeUikit so much slower?
