This week we have some updates for the ProFields table field (FieldtypeTable). These updates are primarily focused on adding new tools for the editor to facilitate input and management of content in a table field. All the details can be found in the new blog post with an accompanying screencast video— https://processwire.com/blog/posts/table-field-with-actions-support/11 points

Just launched my first public Module ? This module allows ProcessWire to send transactional emails via Brevo. Download the latest version: https://github.com/ttttim0709/WireMailBrevo Installation Copy the WireMailBrevo directory into your site/modules/ directory. In the ProcessWire admin, go to Modules > Refresh. Click "Install" next to the WireMailBrevo module. Usage Example usage: $email = $mail->new(); $email->to = 'recipient@somedomain.com'; $email->subject = 'Test #1'; $email->body = 'An example email'; $email->send(); Use of Versions: Check the Brevo dev section for more information about Message versions $email->versions([ [ 'to' => [ [ 'email' => 'bob@example.com', 'name' => 'Bob Anderson' ], [ 'email' => 'anne@example.com', 'name' => 'Anne Smith' ], ], 'subject' => 'This is my version subject line', ], [ 'to' => [ [ 'email' => 'jim@example.com', 'name' => 'Jim Stevens' ] ], 'htmlContent' => "<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><h1>Modified header!</h1><p>This is still a paragraph</p></body></html>", ], ]); Configuration After installing the module, you can configure it by going to the module settings page. You need to provide the following configuration options: Brevo API Key: Obtain this key from your Brevo account settings. Sender Email Address: The email address to be used as the sender. Sender Name: The name associated with the sender's email address.5 points

Following the advice of some PW-forum members @gebeer @dotnetic @bernhard @sebibu, I would like to share my first Processwire module with all members. QuickSave: My first attempt at developing a PW module to quickly save a page. What can the module QuickSave do: Quickly save a page edit in the admin and return to the last activity. Adds an extra save button AND shortcuts CMD+s and CTRL+s. QuickSave includes an additional plugin for TinyMCE. The plugin for TinyMCE must be assigned and activated specifically for these textarea fields. (Keyboard input shortcut does not yet work in an iFrame - RTE/iFrame, CKE, etc.) PW-QuickSave-1024-v16.mp4 Installation: To install the module, it simply needs to be copied into the Processwire module directory and then activated in the Processwire admin. Optional: Anyone who uses TinyMCE can activate the keyboard input shortcuts via the configuration as a plugin for TinyMCE. Afterwards it has to be activated for the field (e.g. body). This is the path for the configuration in TinyMCE: /site/modules/QuickSave/tinymce/quicksavetinymce.js QuickSave-TinyMCE-inst.mp4 I have been using the module only as a save button version for some time in a long Processwire page with a strong content and a four-fold nested repeater matrix and it works. The keyboard shortcuts were added because of a request. I was only able to test these on the Mac and hope they also work with Windows browsers. Due to another request, the short notification after saving was added. I hope you like the module and that it helps the moderators to keep a better eye on the areas they are currently working on. Especially with long pages and, for example, a table with many rows, it is very helpful for me not to lose the row when saving. (see the video) Note: The module does not intervene in the Processwire saving process, only the original saving button function is triggered. Please note that the keyborad shortcodes do not work in iframes or CKEditor. UPDATE: New version 0.1.7 added on April 13, 2024. A new combined version without jQuery has been created. Thanks to @dotnetic and all others ?. It is now more optimized and further optimizations are planned. Module 0.1.7 Download: QuickSave.zip Feedback on whether the keyboard shortcuts ctrl+s work under MS Windows would be great... ? Thanks and Greetings Chris4 points -
Found the problem, and it was me, not ProcessWire, but... Here's why this issue might occur for anyone who encounters it: I have a module with a hook that triggers on page save (thanks to @wbmnfktr's for pointing it out). This module's function is to update its fields in the database whenever a post is liked on the page. Simple: someone likes the page, so it counts as one more like. The problem arises when both ProcessWire cache and silent page save are enabled. In this scenario, the changes aren't reflected on the front page. To ensure updates of the field are reflected on the frontpage, silent mode needs to be disabled. With silent mode off, the modified field updates whenever a post is saved from the hook. Here's the code snippet which is solving issue with modified BUT in my case making the problem when the cache is on: @$this->page->save($data['field'], array('quiet' => true)); @wbmnfktrI don't own you a beer, I own you at least a dinner man!2 points

Hi @adrian, thanks for your suggestion. I will try it on a clean install on sunday. And will try the module on other installations (with a vary set of modules) just for testing. I'll get back to this...1 point

I remember an issue with PageHitCounter a long time ago where each visit resulted in exactly this behaviour. So in case you use that module, update that as well but check for update instructions as there have been some in the past. Another possible solution is your custom code in either the template, a module, or a hook. Hard to tell without knowing more about the template, possible hooks, and similar things. Do you do anyting with the API, like updating or creating pages, entries or whatever?1 point

I haven't bothered with Github yet other than downloading a zip there. But as soon as I find time for it, I will gladly publish the module there.1 point

Works fine on Windows in Chromium-based browsers and Firefox. I didn't even have to use the plugin for TinyMCE, it just works out of the box.1 point -
Ah, I like PostmarkApp for transactional stuff, but their monthly limit is a quite low on the free tier (though I am thankful for it.) Brevo's limits are somewhat better. I will be trying out this module soon, as I'm just calling brevo's API directly at the moment and want to use a module for this.1 point

@Chris-PW Welcome to the plugin-author's club :) Would you be able to create a github account and create a repository for this? It's the next step to getting this published in the PW modules DB.1 point -
Very timely, thank you for this, and congratulations on your first public module release!1 point

Field Initial Value For most field types, allows the definition of an initial value that is automatically set when pages are created. The initial value can be set in template context if you want a different initial value in different templates. Example for a "Countries" Page Reference field using AsmSelect: Example with explanatory notes in a CKEditor field: Differences from "Default value" The core allows setting a "Default value" for certain field types. The "Initial value" setting added by this module is different from the "Default value" setting in the following ways: The "Default value" is a setting that applies only to the inputfield, meaning that the value is shown in the inputfield by default but is not stored until you save the page. By contrast, the "Initial value" is automatically saved to the page when the page is first created. Related to point 1, when a page is created via the API rather than in the ProcessWire admin the "Initial value" is saved to the page but the "Default value" is not. The "Default value" has no effect when a field is not "required", but the "Initial value" is set for both required and not required fields. Related to point 3, a user can empty a field that had an "Initial value" applied but a field with a "Default value" set cannot be emptied. The "Initial value" setting is available for more field types than "Default value". Supported field types The following field types are supported, along with any types that extend them: FieldtypeText (includes types that extend it such as Textarea, CKEditor, URL, etc.) FieldtypeDatetime FieldtypeInteger FieldtypeDecimal FieldtypeFloat FieldtypePage (with all core inputfield types) FieldtypeCheckbox FieldtypeOptions (with all core inputfield types) FieldtypeToggle FieldtypeSelector FieldtypeMultiplier (ProField) FieldtypeCombo (ProField, only supported when File and Image subfields are not used) FieldtypeStars (third-party module) If you want to try field types beyond this you can define additional types in the module config, but your mileage may vary. Unsupported field types It's not possible to set an initial value for these field types, along with any types that extend them: FieldtypeFile (and FieldtypeImage) FieldtypeRepeater (includes types that extend it such as Repeater Matrix and Fieldset Page) FieldtypePageTable FieldtypeTable (ProField) Notes Seeing as the initial value is defined in the field config it has no idea of the current page - for the purposes of rendering the initial value inputfield the home page is supplied as a dummy page. This probably isn't an issue in most cases but it might have an effect for some Page Reference fields if they use the current page to limit the selectable pages. https://github.com/Toutouwai/FieldInitialValue https://processwire.com/modules/field-initial-value/1 point

Ahh, the config inputfield was inheriting those settings from the field, which is unwanted. Should be fixed now in v0.1.1. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.1 point

Here I have it like this: If a field is mandatory, also the intitial value field is also mandatory (not always intended by me). If a field is not mandatory, the initial value field is also not mandatory.

I’m not quite sure that I understand the purpose of ‘upload_dirs’: That’s from https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/install/performance/#mutagen-and-user-generated-uploads. I think it isn’t really about uploads at all, but rather directories that might be better off with a slow-but-sure sync rather than a fast-but-eventual sync? If that’s right, when would you actually need something like that — especially in the context of uploading? Does anyone have a feel for this?1 point

New: The developer can be based anywhere! We've just launched a new PW-powered version of our site, wcscanada.org. We're looking for an ongoing relationship with a PW developer for projects big and small. The initial contract is for $100 CAD/hour up to 150 hours, with the possibility of extension. Download the RFP here! About the site: The main module in use is ProFields repeater matrix, which provides a block-based building system for pages. Changing or adding blocks is likely to be a common request. The RFP deadline is 30 April 2024. Please reach out to wcscanadacomms@wcs.org with any questions. Thanks very much!1 point

Here's a copy of my blog with some reflections on building my first site with ProcessWire as someone coming from Drupal: peopleandplanet.org ProcessWire is an open source CMS Content Management System or Framework (CMS / CMF respectively) using PHP and MariaDB/MySQL. It's been around a while, humbly gathering users and sites. I spent a good while reviewing lots of open source CMSes recently as I have previously relied on Drupal 7 (excellent) and didn't like Drupal 8+ nor BackDrop (a fork of Drupal 7). WordPress? not with Gutenberg/React and all those plugin ads, thanks. Turns out I'm quite picky about CMSes! This is because my role is developer, trainer, implementer, themer, discusser of problems and solutions and dreams. I have personal relationships with my clients and am here to help. So I need a system that makes it simple for them to do as much as possible without me, while also being flexible enough for me to rapidly develop new features. So I was shopping for me and my clients, not just one of those parties. ProcessWire seemed a good balance, and once I started developing with it I was hooked. I've now launched my first site with it: peopleandplanet.org and my clients are pretty pleased with it, and I have another job in the pipeline. Templates and pages In ProcessWire, everything (even users!) is a Page, and every Page has a Template. So in Drupal-speak, it's kinda like Page = Content/Entity and Template = Content/Entity Type. A Template is configured with lots of options and describes what fields apply. Templates don't all need to be renderable, but typically are, so generally have an accompanying Template File. Key implementation decisions I made There are many ways to generate and theme page HTML in ProcessWire and I went through them all! Here's what I settled on: Use Page classes: these are PHP classes which add/bend functionality for a particular page/template. Doing pre-processing of data this way seemed the cleanest way to organise things, using inheritance to share code between similar templates. I used the excellent Latte templating engine instead of plain PHP or other options like Blade/Smarty/... Latte is context-aware which makes templates cleaner and clearer to look at and safer because it knows to escape content in one way as HTML text and another as an attribute, for example. The final clincher is that it uses the same syntax as PHP itself, so as a developer hopping between PHP and Latte, there's much less brain strain. Use PageTableNext. This is similar to Drupal's Paragraphs or Gutenberg's Blocks (ish). It allows a page to be built from slices/sections of various different templates, e.g. I have things like "text" and "text-over-image" and "animated stats" etc. These let authors make interesting pages, applying different preset styles to things, giving a good mix of creative control and theme adherence. What I liked Beyond the above features, I liked these things: Fairly unopinionated: the core is quite small and everything is a module, so when you write your own module, you have similar level of access. e.g. I was able to make a core module behave differently by using hooks rather than having to maintain a patch of a core code file. The selector API is a domain-specific query language for fetching page data that makes a lot of common things you need to do very easy and clear to read. I like readable code a lot. A lot of basic CMS features are implemented really nicely; thought has gone into them. e.g. Drupal has a redirect module that can add redirects from old URLs when you update the 'path alias' for a page - great - but ProcessWire's implementation (a) prevents you making circular redirects which is a quick way to kill a Drupal site by accident that's happened more than once, and (b) has some useful rules like let's only do this if the page has been in existence for a little while - because typically while first composing a page you may change the title quite a few times before you publish. e.g. when you save a page that has links to other pages in it, it stores the page IDs of those other pages too, and when the page is fetched it will check that the URLs exist and still match the ID, fixing them if needed. Images - have 'focus' built in as well as resizing etc. so if a crop is needed you can ensure the important content of the image is still present. Booting is flexible; it enabled me to boot ProcessWire from within Drupal7 and thereby write a migration script for a lot of content. There's a good community on the forum. A forum feels a bit old fashioned, but it's good because you can have long form discussions; it sort of doubles as a blog, and a lot of new features are announced in forum posts by Ryan and others. The Tracy debugger is mind-blowingly good, just wow. Modules - third party or core - are typically very focussed and often tiny. This is a testament to what can be achieved throught the flexible and well-designed APIs. Weekly updates on core development from both the lead developer on the blog and the community, both with RSS feeds so it's easy to keep updated. What I don't like Logging is weird and non-standard. I prefer one chronological log of well categorised events, but instead we have lots of separate files. This is a bit weird. One thing it is opinionated on is that there should be a strict hierarchy between pages and URLs. I like that level of order, but in real life, it's not what I needed. e.g. People & Planet has three main campaigns and it wanted those at /campaign-name not /campaigns/campaign-name. And we wanted news at /news/2024-03-25/title-of-news-article, but we don't want a page at /news/2024-03-25/ and we want the news index to be under an Info page in the menu. This meant I had to write a custom menu implementation to implement a different hierarchy to display what we wanted it to look (3 campaigns under a Campaigns menu, the news index under an Info menu). There was a page hook for having news articles describe their URLs with the publish date, but this took quite a bit of figuring out. Ryan Cramer leads/owns the project and other contributors are sparse. He seems like a lovely person, and I'm super grateful for his work, but there's only one of him, so this is a bit of a risk. Also, the code has no phpunit tests. Gulp. There have been various initiatives, but this sort of thing needs to come from a core team, and it's not a priority for Ryan. I love tests, they help avoid regressions, help document designed behaviour, etc. Likewise, there's a styleguide, but it's not adhered to, so... Right decision? I'm very happy with it, and it seems a great fit for my clients' needs, and they're very happy. All software has risks and I got burned twice with Drupal 8/9 - once backing out after months of development; another project that went to completion I regret and dislike administering/maintaining now. But so far, so good, and I intend to use ProcessWire for other projects (including replacing this website) very soon. Contributions I have two ProcessWire modules that are there for anyone who needs them. TagHerder provides a page at Setup » Tag Herder that lists every tag and every page tagged with that tag, and provides three options: Rename the tag; Trash the tag; Replace the tag with another. Useful for cleaning up tags that have gotten out of control! EditablePublishedDate lets you edit the published date of a page. Useful for entering historical page information or such.1 point

I updated the requirement in the code but forgot to update the requirements listed in the docs. My bad, I'll try to update it this weekend or so. Unfortunately we don't have bandwidth to test and support all the ProcessWire versions. So, just to be safe, we default to the later versions. Generally speaking though, ProcessWire is very stable and rarely break anything with patch updates. As long as it works without problems you should be good to go. One thing to keep an eye though, is PHP version. The underlying library (webonyx/graphql-php) requires PHP version `^7.4 || ^8`. So make sure you meet that requirement.1 point

Thanks! Just in case anybody else searches for similar things, here's a simple example $en = 'status' . $languages->get('en'); $us = 'status' . $languages->get('us'); $fr = 'status' . $languages->get('fr'); $pag = $pages->find("parent=1072, template='product'"); foreach($pag as $p) { $p->setOutputFormatting(false); // not sure if necessary here - I made it a habit to always include it, just in case... $p->$en = 1; $p->$fr = 1; $p->$us = 1; $p->save(); }1 point
