This week we have another update to the ProFields table field. A couple of weeks ago I wrote a blog post about Table v28 and the new actions features that it added. I've been working with Table a lot for my current client project, and have found these new features very useful. But I'm doing a lot of data entry in Table and found I still wanted more. Specifically, I wanted to be able to apply some of the actions directly on the row I was working in (rather than having to select it and then scroll down to the actions). Kind of like how one can click the Trash icon on any row to delete the row... I wanted to be able to apply other actions in the same way (Add, Clone, Copy, Paste). And Table v29 (released today) does exactly that. Another desire I had is for the for row-level actions to be just really simple, with not too much to look at... something folks could use rapidly without having a lot to read. This leaves several powerful and verbose features for the actions menu you saw earlier (the one that appears under the Table). Below is a video that outlines these new row-level actions. It's actually the same video from before, but I added to it for the version 29 features. So I'll try to post a link that starts at the timecode of the new stuff. But if you haven't seen this video before, you may want to rewind to the beginning. Below is the full CHANGELOG for this version: Expanded actions support so you can also execute actions directly on individual rows, which is often more convenient than selecting rows and then applying actions. Hold down the SHIFT key before clicking the row actions select and it will convert any actions that usually append rows to instead prepend rows. This works with the the Add, Clone and Paste actions when clicked at the individual row-level. It also works with the Select action for selecting multiple rows at once. The Select action is there in part for people that may not realize you can already click the sort arrows to select the row. Removed the Vex dialogs when copying or pasting and replaced them with other visual cues to indicate successful copy and/or paste. Added a new config option for disabling the DELETE (trash) icon on individual rows when individual row actions are enabled. This is because the row actions already include a delete action, so the trash icon can be redundant for some who might prefer the additional space. For all non-page selection column types, a new "Settings" option was added (named “formattedValueType”) to indicate how the value should be represented when accessed from a formatted page. Previously the API value was always the selection value. Now you can specify that it should include both the value and label (in your choice of array), or just the label rather than the value. Table v29 beta is available for download now in the ProFields download thread. More core updates are likely for next week. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Lots more Adminer updates in the last couple of weeks, but the key things are: 1) Shift-click on the DB icon links will now open Adminer in full mode rather than with the Tracy panel 2) Page, template, field, etc ID within Adminer table views are now linked - note the page title (and path) and the link to edit that page - this comes from hovering on any of the id, parent_id, templates_id, created_users_id, modified_users_id, etc. These sorts of links are present throughout including linking to modules from the "modules" table, hanna_code, pages_meta, etc. It also works for all Page Reference field's page IDs in Profields Table "field_table" tables, Profields Combo, repeater, RM fields, etc. Hopefully you'll all find this as useful as I am.

Hello, i have question how to make square images. I am developing an alcohol online storefront and in it I need to implement square images of bottles - so that they visually all look the same. Right now I am using the following code to position and create the images. <div class="fotorama p-4 bg-white w-full lg:w-2/5 lg:pr-4 hidden lg:block pt-16" data-nav="thumbs"> <?php if(count($page->get('images'))): foreach($page->get('images') as $image): $thumbSize = 500; $largeSize = 1000; // If image already 500x500 or less, don't do any scaling if($image->width <= 500 && $image->height <= 500) { continue; } // If image is not square else if($image->width != $image->height) { if($image->height > $image->width) { $thumb = $image->size(0, $thumbSize); $large = $image->size(0, $largeSize); } else { $ratio = $image->width / $image->height; $newWidthThumb = $thumbSize * $ratio; $newWidthLarge = $largeSize * $ratio; $thumb = $image->size($newWidthThumb, $thumbSize); $large = $image->size($newWidthLarge, $largeSize); $differenceThumb = $thumb->width - $thumbSize; $differenceLarge = $large->width - $largeSize; $thumb = $thumb->crop($differenceThumb / 2, 0, $thumbSize, $thumbSize); $large = $large->crop($differenceLarge / 2, 0, $largeSize, $largeSize); } if($thumb->width < 500 || $thumb->height < 500 || $large->width < 1000 || $large->height < 1000) { $imagickSmall = new Imagick($thumb->filename); $imagickLarge = new Imagick($large->filename); $canvasSmall = new Imagick(); $canvasLarge = new Imagick(); $canvasSmall->newImage(500, 500, new ImagickPixel('white')); $canvasLarge->newImage(1000, 1000, new ImagickPixel('white')); $canvasSmall->compositeimage($imagickSmall, Imagick::COMPOSITE_OVER, ($canvasSmall->getImageWidth() - $thumb->width) / 2, ($canvasSmall->getImageHeight() - $thumb->height) / 2); $canvasLarge->compositeimage($imagickLarge, Imagick::COMPOSITE_OVER, ($canvasLarge->getImageWidth() - $large->width) / 2, ($canvasLarge->getImageHeight() - $large->height) / 2); $canvasSmall->writeImage($thumb->filename); $canvasLarge->writeImage($large->filename); } } // The image is square else { $thumb = $image->size($thumbSize, $thumbSize); $large = $image->size($largeSize, $largeSize); } ?> <a href="<?=$large->url?>"><img src="<?=$thumb->url?>" class="pt-2" alt="<?=$page->title?>" width="64" height="64"></a> <?php endforeach; ?> <?php else: ?> <img src="<?=urls()->templates?>images/notfound.png" width="64" height="64" alt=""> <?php endif; ?> </div> The code works great and generates square images. BUT! When I try to add webp support <a href="<?=$large->webp->url?>"><img src="<?=$thumb->webp->url?>" class="pt-2" alt="<?=$page->title?>" width="64" height="64"></a> <?php endforeach; ?> code nothing works. There is a crop image function, but no function to position the image centered with the background added. How to implement this as simple as possible, using core functions and adding webp support ?

@BrendonKozNo, from a template if I remember good. The method create() is not complete in my post, the page is saved at the end and I have these strange bugs in admin, so the code executes well, and the same code in another class (not the custom page class) is working fine. Looks like a bug in Pw, maybe something related with PHP namespaces and template retrieval.

Hi @maximus, welcome to the forum. Are any webp image variations actually being generated by ProcessWire? You can check either in the admin interface on the page with the image field, or by looking in the site/assets/file/<page-id>/ folder for .webp variations of any image you saved to the page with id <page-id>

Hello Flo, should it look like this: At the moment the icon will be displayed if a start and/or an end time has been set, but id does not take care if a change will happen in the future (publishing or unpublishing of the page)

If anyone is using wire-cli, and you find you're getting a lot of PHP warnings about not being able to set session parameters after headers have been sent, this may help. You may need to add a custom session function to site/config.php to prevent ProcessWire attempting to setup session handling when it's bootstrapped by wire-cli from the command line. YMMV, but this seems to be working for me. NOTES: Adjust the path if your admin interface is not at /processwire/. If you need sessions on the public (non-admin) paths of your site, remove the "ADJUST THIS PATH..." line and change the final line to "return true;". /** * Custom Session Control * * - Keeps non-admin pages free of cookies/sessions * - Unless there is already a session cookie * - Prevents session start on CLI invocation (wire-cli etc.) * - Allows admin pages to use sessions */ $config->sessionAllow = function($session) { if ($session->hasCookie()) return true; $req_uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ?? false; if (false === $req_uri) return false; // CLI invocation? if (0 === strpos($req_uri, '/processwire/')) return true; // ADJUST THIS PATH IF NEEDED return false; };

Big news! Version 1.3.0 is out - the big documentation update! The new version will activate a new view in the AppApi UI under Setup->AppApi. The button "See endpoints" will lead you to a new overview page which lists all registered api-endpoints. That includes the default /auth endpoints from AppApi, your custom endpoints from routes.php and all endpoints that were registered by a custom api-module like AppApiFile. I found it useful to see where the handler-functions for each endpoint are located, so I included that as well. And wait, there is more: The overview page has a button to auto-generate an OpenAPI 3.0.3 json, that can be imported in tools like Postman or Swagger. And you are now able to add documentation details in the routes definition, to make the generated json even more powerful. Read more about this in the new wiki-chapter. I have worked some time on this new feature and hope that it will bring much joy into your api-developer lifes ☺️ (Please consider buying me a coffee if you like my work)
