This week on the dev branch are a few updates to the core including the following: Support for Inputfield header icon actions defined in PHP. If you recall, a couple weeks ago we released header actions for Inputfields via the JS Inputfield API. Robin S requested that the same be available from the PHP Inputfield API, and now it is. More details can be found in the phpdoc for the Inputfield::addHeaderAction() method here. New link action was added to Inputfield header actions. This was also added by request and it's another type of header action that simply links to a URL. It can optionally be opened in a modal window. The $database API variable has been updated with a new $database->reset() method which resets the database connection. This is potentially useful after a "MySQL server has gone away" type error, to re-establish the connection. The $database->execute() method also now uses it to attempt to reestablish the connection (for a few tries) when appropriate. Though I've not yet been able to test this one with an actual lost connection. There were various other minor updates, optimizations and fixes this week as well. In addition to the above core updates, we've got a new version of the UserActivity module (v8) posted in the ProDevTools support board. This version adds support for the PageEditChildren module and can properly identify which child pages are being edited alongside the parent. Previous versions only identify the page open in the page editor, and not the children open in PageEditChildren. Thanks for reading, have a great weekend!

This is my first module. It is primitive, like my neighbor who loves to fire up his new Makita breaker hammer after 21:30h. Please, feel free to do whatever you want. I don't promise I will add better functionality but maybe... If you do, please ping and send me back. Thanks! It loads every page on the backend. It calculates the text width in two fields you choose on the configuration page.. If there are any updates, I will post them here. Happy ProcessWiring! PS: These measurements are specifically for desktop and Google's SERP (Search Engine Results Page). UPDATE on 15 May 2024: Google started to calculate (truncate) the meta title for 20px Arial yesterday. The Module has been updated. Here is the link to download/install the latest version: https://processwire.com/modules/seo-text-width/ EDIT: The version 0.0.5. Added two dropdown fields on the configuration page of the module. PROVE IMAGE: You can check the meta title, which was measured with 18px Arial and it was less than 512 pixels.

Hey Ryan, thx for these additions! I'm wondering if there is a way to open a modal and then react/wait for something within that modal. For example we could maybe create an action for a page reference field to create a new page. When the page is successfully created in the modal and the modal is closed we could trigger the inputfield's reload event and the user could instantly select the newly created page.

Awesome, thanks @ryan!

You might already know this, but I just found an easy way to have custom tooltips on inputfields: $field = $this->modules->get('InputfieldSelect'); $field->name = "example"; $field->label = "Cool Tooltip"; $field->attr("uk-tooltip", "title: My tooltip text; pos:left; delay: 200"); // this line $field->addOption("option1", "Option 1"); $field->addOption("option2", "Option 2"); Have a look here for all the options.

@Robin S I was thinking that since a JS callback is necessary to make it do anything, it was simplest just to keep it all JS, contained to one definition. At least for the case that prompted adding this feature (PageEditChildren module). But for cases like what you are describing, what you say makes a lot of sense. I will add an $inputfield->addHeaderAction([ ... ]); that does the same thing, maybe like these examples? // click action $inputfield->addHeaderAction([ 'icon' => 'hand-stop-o', 'overIcon' => 'hand-peace-o', 'tooltip' => 'Hello world', 'event' => 'myEvent' ]); // toggle action $inputfield->addHeaderAction([ 'onIcon' => 'toggle-on', 'onEvent' => 'MyOnEvent', 'onTooltip' => 'Click to toggle off', 'offIcon' => 'toggle-off', 'offEvent' => 'MyOffEvent', 'offTooltip' => 'Click to toggle on', ]); // link action $inputfield->addHeaderAction([ 'icon' => 'fa-link', 'href' => 'https://processwire.com/api/ref/', 'tooltip' => 'API reference', 'target' => '_blank', // or 'modal' or omit for '_self' ]);

The header action feature is cool, thanks @ryan! Is there a way that a header action can be added through the PHP API rather than through the Inputfield JS API? A couple of reasons this could be useful: 1. I can imagine a module that would add some header action feature to every inputfield (or every inputfield of a particular type) and it would be simpler to do this via a hook before Inputfield::render(). 2. Sometimes the inputfield you want to target doesn't exist in the DOM when the page loads (e.g. Repeater subfields or other Ajax-loaded scenarios) and so the JS code to add the header action would also need to watch for other events like "reloaded" or "ajaxComplete", and again it would be easier to add the action in a before render hook. I was thinking that if the PHP API supported header actions then JS actions could be handled via an "event" property. So something like this... $action->event = 'myAction'; ...which means that clicking the icon would trigger a "myAction" event, and the developer would use JS like... $(document).on('myAction', '.Inputfield', function(event) { const $inputfield = $(event.target); // Do something involving the inputfield... }); And in case the action doesn't need JS but should instead be PHP-based or just link to some URL there could also be an "href" property which would make the icon into a link, perhaps to be used with URL hooks... $action->href = "/my-action/$page->id/$field->name"; ...and... $wire->addHook('/my-action/{page_id}/{field_name}', function($event) { // Do something with $event->page_id and $event->field_name here... }); What do you think?
