We’re moving along with trying to cover as many small issue fixes as possible for the next main/master version. So that’s what all the commits this week are for. There’s not much more to report than that, making good progress! If you spot any new issues on the dev branch be sure to report them in the processwire-issues repository. Thanks and have a great weekend!

You can create a custom PHP Configuration: https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/extend/customization-extendibility/#custom-php-configuration-phpini You can test something like this: File - .ddev/php/my-php.ini [PHP] display_errors = On; error_reporting = E_ALL;

Hello, I have created a simple module to preview theater seat reservations. This is my very first module, so be gentle as I'm not a coder. What is it about? The module creates 5 fields that must be added to the template of your choice. (e.g. event-post) In the template, you can then set the number of rows and the number of seats in each row. After save your preview is created. You can then book or cancel seats by clicking on the seats boxes or trash icon to cancel them. We have a small theater and sometimes we remove some seats, so I also added the option to remove them. Seat-booking.mp4 You can the render this on your frontend with: <?php // Assuming $page is the current page object $rows = $page->rows ?: 9; // Default to 9 rows if not set $seatsPerRow = $page->seats_per_row ?: 8; // Default to 8 seats per row if not set // Load the existing CSS for styling $cssFile = $this->wire()->config->urls->siteModules . 'TheaterSeating/styles.css'; echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="' . $cssFile . '">'; // Start the seating chart output echo '<div class="theater-seating">'; // Loop through rows for ($i = $rows; $i > 0; $i--) { echo '<div class="row">'; // Start a new row echo '<div class="row-label">Vrsta ' . $i . '</div>'; // Row label // Loop through seats for ($j = 1; $j <= $seatsPerRow; $j++) { $seatId = "$i-$j"; $occupiedClass = in_array($seatId, explode(',', $page->booked_seats ?: '')) ? 'selected' : ''; $disabledClass = in_array($seatId, explode(',', $page->disabled_seats ?: '')) ? 'disabled' : ''; // Output the seat div echo '<div class="seat ' . $occupiedClass . ' ' . $disabledClass . '" data-seat-id="' . $seatId . '">'; // Add the cross overlay for disabled seats if ($disabledClass) { echo '<div class="cross">✖</div>'; // X overlay } echo '</div>'; // Close seat div } echo '</div>'; // Close row div } echo '<div class="stage">Oder</div>'; echo '</div>'; // Close theater seating div ?> and maybe style with: .seat { width: 50px; height: 50px; margin: 0 5px; /* Horizontal margin between seats */ background-color: #ccc; cursor: default; /* Change cursor to indicate no interaction */ display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; position: relative; } .seat.occupied { background-color: #f00; /* Red for occupied seats */ } .seat.selected { background-color: #0f0; /* Green for selected (booked) seats */ } .seat.disabled { background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5); /* Semi-transparent red for disabled seats */ } .cross { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; background: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5); /* Semi-transparent overlay */ display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; font-size: 24px; color: white; } .row-label { font-size: 16px; margin-right: 10px; /* Space between the label and seats */ font-weight: 600; width: 100px; /* Set a fixed width to align labels */ } I hope someone will find it usefull. Fell free to make it better. 😉 You can download it here: TheaterSeating.zip Cheers 😉 Roych

This hasn't been my experience. DDEV shows both warnings and fatal errors. I haven't had to do anything special. What's your environment?

Should be fixed now: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-issues/issues/1823#issuecomment-2494183074

I'd think if you want to bring updates from v1 further into v2, which could seem the case, then maybe a fork could be a good idea and have the possibility to update it from upstream. Although in my personal experience when my expectations where just like I mention, I have always ended up releasing the fork from its relationship with the upstream repo lol but alas, that's more of a me problem haha.

Hi @kongondo , the described error still persists, and we can't update the ProcessWire version. Do you have any hints what I can do to avoid this error or is there a bugfix release of MediaManager?

This week on the dev branch, we have a new $page->preload() method that enables you to preload multiple fields in one query (in this GitHub commit). This is kind of like what the autojoin option does (when configured with a field), or what the $pages->findJoin() method does, but with one big difference. Those options happen as part of the page loading process. Whereas $page->preload() can be applied to a page that has already loaded. Here’s one example where you might find this useful. Say you have a page living at /products/product/ and it has a hundred fields. At the top of your template file that renders the page, you could have a $page->preload(‘field1’, ‘field2’, ‘field3’); to preload all those fields before outputting them. This enables you to load field1, field2 and field3 in 1 query rather than 3. On your first call to $page->field1 it won’t trigger a load from the database and instead will return the value that has already been preloaded. You can also call $page->preload(); without any arguments, and it will preload ALL the supported fields for the page. In reality, ProcessWire is already pretty quick with loading fields, so you probably won’t benefit from preloading until the scale is quite large. While developing this, I was testing by iterating 500 pages and accessing 50 different fields from each. Without preload this took 12 seconds. With preload it took 6 seconds. So for this particular case, preloading cut the time in half. I’m not a query counter, as very often lots of simple DB queries are faster than a single big query, but I’ll mention that it also reduced the quantity of database queries by more than a factor of 10. For this large scale case, that meant more than 20000 queries down to well under 2000. Like with autojoin, there are some limitations with preloading. It supports primarily Fieldtypes that use the core loading mechanism. Some Fieldtypes (especially non-core) override this, and preload() skips over those fields. It also skips over most FieldtypeMulti (multi-row fields), but FieldtypePage is supported when used with Page fields that carry one value. Multi-value can be enabled for testing with an option you’ll find in the function $options, but like autojoin, is limited by MySQL’s group_concat limit. By default that limit is 1024, which supports 140-170 page reference values in a given page field. That's quite a lot, but I don't want to assume folks won't go over that, so it's disabled by default. I’m guessing that most won’t need the preload() function, but a few might really benefit from it, especially at larger scale. So I think it’s a worthwhile addition to the core, and another method that answers a need that may arise as an installation grows, further supporting ProcessWire’s ability to scale up as needs do. Though consider it experimental and "work in progress" at the moment, as we’ll need to do more testing to make sure it is fully stable in a broader range of situations, and further improvements are likely. Special thanks to @tuomassalo at Avoine who came up with the idea for preload() and helped me to get started developing it. Last week I told you how Pete, Jan and I met up in Holland. I also wanted to mention, a couple weeks ago, right before I left for Amsterdam, Oliver from @update AG (update.ch) in Zürich, Switzerland sent me a DM saying that he was in my neighborhood, so we got together for coffee near my house. They’ve been using ProcessWire at Update AG almost as long as PW has been open source, so it was good to meet another long time ProcessWire user, and a nice coincidence that he was in the neighborhood. It’s always great to meet ProcessWire users in person and I hope to meet more of you in the future as well. Thank you for reading and have a great weekend!

This week most of the core dev branch commits are related to minor fixes and improvements. While last week we added a new $page->preload() method, I’m going to avoid more major additions or features so that we’re not creating more things that need lots of testing. For that reason, the commits over the next weeks or month will be similar to those from this week, so that we can get a new main/master version out as soon as possible. I was just looking at the date of our last master version (3.0.229) and see that it’s been more than a year! It feels like it’s been 3 months to me — time sure does fly! Seeing how long it’s been definitely motivates me to not wait too much longer on this next main version. The current dev branch fixes and adds quite a few things relative to 3.0.229 as well, so I think of it as being the more stable version at this point… a good sign it’s about time for a new release version. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

WireCon 2025

Big thumbs up for that idea. If the timing is right, I might even make it to both, since I'm planning to head across the pond and hike the John Muir Trail next summer. Love the preload method. I've got a shop solution built on PW with about 120k orders and 150k order positions by now, all as pages. Performance is becoming a bit of an issue in the backend with long range price change statistics and detailed Excel exports, and this seems like a perfect use case.

Is preload() already available in the DEV branch? I'm asking because the version is still 3.0.242. What would be the best way to really test the performance boost here? Need to try this in a recent project. Maybe we should create some kind of meetups in the US and maybe even in the EU next year. That would be fun.

The traveling over the last month or so is finally finished. In late September/early October my family traveled to Spain, France, and Italy for the first time. And the last couple weeks my wife and I were in Holland on a bike trip where we lived on a boat for a week and biked all over the Netherlands (~150 miles of biking), and got to see a large portion of it. Our forum administrator @Pete was also there, as was Jan, who maintains our website on AWS, so sometimes it felt like a mini ProcessWire meetup too. The trip was one from Tripsite, a company using ProcessWire for more than 15 years, and this trip was their 25th anniversary. There were about 30 other people there as well, several whom also work ProcessWire as editors. It was an amazing trip, and now I'm completely sold on bike and boat trips being the best way to experience a country. I felt like I was a resident rather than a tourist. I’m sorry there have not been a lot of updates here lately due to all of the travel, but now that it’s done, it’s time to get back to work on our next main/master version, which I’m greatly looking forward to. While there have only been 3 commits this week, there have been 25 commits since 3.0.241, so I’m bumping the dev branch version up to 3.0.242, to get the momentum going again. Thanks for reading, and for your patience while I catch up with communications and such, and have a great weekend! Below is a photo of Pete, Jan and Ryan on the boat in Amsterdam.

Ryan - it was great to meet you and Jan in person finally after 12 years 😊 That was a fantastic trip with a great group of people through some really interesting locations. We were pretty lucky with the weather too!

Chill 😅 You could post little travel logs instead next time 😉

In the last couple of weeks I’ve been to several cities in Spain, France and Italy. I’d never been to any of those countries before (or Europe for that matter), so it was an exciting trip. Though the goal was for my kids to broaden their horizons and experience other parts of the world, as well as spend time with my parents and family. We got back this week and have been recovering from jet lag (another thing I’d not experienced before). The 6 hour difference was no problem getting there, but coming back, it’s a little harder to adjust! Next week I turn 50 years old (ugh), and then the following week I’m back in Europe again, except this time in the Netherlands on a bike trip with a client, and without my kids and parents. I’m not sure I’ll be able to do many core updates during the 10 day trip but do expect to have internet access this time, so will at least be online regularly and hope to be here in the forums. After that trip, I won’t be traveling again for a long time, and the focus will be on getting our next main/master version out. I noticed this week that @Robin S is now beating me as our most prolific module developer, with 72 modules! Great job and thanks for all the great modules Robin S.!

This week there’s new $pages->saveFields() and $page->saveFields() methods on the core dev branch. You might already be familiar with the $pages->saveField($page, $field); method which lets you save one field from a page, or $page->save($field); which does the same. This is useful when you only need to save one field from a page, rather than the entire page. Now we have a plural version of that method, which lets you specify multiple fields on a page to save: $pages->saveFields($page, [ 'title', 'body', 'summary' ]); Below is the same thing, but on a $page object, so you don't need to specify a $page argument: $page->saveFields([ 'title', 'body', 'summary' ]); You can also use a string if you prefer: $page->saveFields('title,body,summary'); In my case, I needed this method for a project I'm working on, and I also needed it to save without updating the 'modified' time or user, which you can achieve by specifying the 'quiet' argument. Though note, the 'quiet' argument is available for all the page saving methods and has been around a long time. But I'm not sure how widely used it is, so I'll mention it. $page->saveFields('title,body,summary', [ 'quiet' => true ]); This week the API methods for Select Options fields have also been updated to add more convenience for getting, adding and removing options to an existing selection. Let's say we have an Options field of checkboxes named "colors". Each selectable option has an ID, optional value, and title. Now you can get, add, or remove by any of those properties. Previously you had to work directly with SelectableOption instances, which wasn't as convenient. // add by title of option 'Blue' $page->colors->addByTitle('Blue'); // remove the option with value 'orange' from colors field $page->colors->removeByValue('orange'); // get SelectableOption instance of option with title 'Red' $red = $page->colors->getByTitle('Red'); echo "ID, value, title: $red->id, $red->value, $red->title"; // check if colors has an option with value 'purple' if($page->colors->hasValue('purple')) { // it has purple } The methods added to SelectableOptionArray (not yet reflected in linked docs page) include: getByID($id) getByValue($value) getByTitle($title) addByID($id) addByValue($value) addByTitle($title) removeByID($id) removeByValue($value) removeByTitle($title) That's all for this week. There likely won't be any core updates next week, as I'll be out of town again. Thanks for reading and I hope that you all have a great weekend and great week ahead.

Happy birthday! Now that you remind me, next week I will also turn one year older, (ugh) :P

There's already a password reset module built into PW. 2FA can be disabled for any individual account as needed. I have a PW installation, where I activated 2FA for myself as superuser. Recently, my phone for some reason deleted several apps - one of them being Google Authenticator. I know how to reset a user password, but that won't help me in that particular situation. @ryan Is there an API method to deactivate 2FA for a certain user? In the docs, I only see $user->hasTfa().
