There have been a few small bug fixes made to the core this week on the dev branch. I think we’re really close on the new version and hope to have that ready around the upcoming holidays. The module I mentioned last week (InputfieldSmallSelectMultiple) also got a new version this week with support for optgroups, support for “1 of 3 selected” type labels (Adrian’s suggestion) and a couple small fixes. Some fun news: The ProcessWire site is currently going through a redesign. This time there are a couple of professional designers and long time ProcessWire users collaborating on the design. I won’t mention who’s working on this just yet, as I’ve not asked them if I could, so want to respect their privacy. But I’ve been able to see some of the work in progress, and it’s really fantastic, a major upgrade for the look of the site. Along with this will be some visual improvements to the admin theme as well, which will accompany or come after the site redesign. There’s no launch date for the site redesign just yet, I wanted to let you know it was in progress and looking great, something to look forward to for sure. Thanks and have a great weekend!

Very exciting news! Thanks for letting us know! Can't wait to see the result!

We use Bunny CDN for an increasing number of projects - it’s cheap and reliable. Planning on making a module when I get a chance too to enable upload to their CDN from inside ProcessWire. Although I think this may already be possible via ProCache - not had a chance to check yet though.

Hi @adrian I just wanted to share that this problem came up again today and I found a working resolution without needing to modify your module. We installed your module and enabled protection from the home page settings and checked to cover all children (essentially enabled site wide). We then moved the webhook APIs to a module using the URL hooks (hooked via init()) which allows them to bypass the site protection without unprotecting the rest of the site. 🙌 I thought I'd share in case this is of use for anyone else in the same situation.

This week I got wrapped up in unexpected client work, but it did lead to development of a new Inputfield module, which I think I’ll be using a lot, and hoping some others might find it useful too. It’s called Small Select Multiple, and the purpose of it is to provide a multi-selection input that is as simple as a single-selection input, and that didn't introduce new UI elements, sticking just to native browser controls. It came about because a client has a large front-end form that has a lot of multi-selection inputs, which we handled with checkboxes. It started to become too much for users, so we tried changing to AsmSelect. That helped a lot, but it still became overwhelming once a lot of options were selected. We needed something that looked simple from the start, and stayed simple even after a lot of selections had been made. The Small Select Multiple input seems to do the trick. You can use this input type with Options fields or Page fields, or anywhere else you might us ProcessWire’s SelectMultiple, Checkboxes, or AsmSelect input types. Like the other Inputfield types, it’s not always going to be the right fit, and has it’s own unique set of benefits and drawbacks, but for the times where it suits the need, I hope you find it useful. Rather than writing more about it, I’ll link you to the module page for it. There’s more details and screenshots there. While you are in the modules directory, see the 3 other new modules posted this week too, they look great. Core updates coming next week. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.

@adrian Good idea, I will add that option.

Hey @ryan - sounds like a potentially useful input for certain needs. I am wondering what you think about the option of the closed label being something like "3 of 50" or "3/50" because I think in some cases it's important to know if all are selected vs a limited selection.

Wow, how time flies. This post is already 9 years old! The old syntax from the last post is now obsolete. But today you can do much more. I just looked at the file along with claude.ai and here is a new version. Edit: I've added all the core hooks and status codes to this file. Could be useful sometimes. But there's more, here's a little module that adds a few things to an extra phpstorm.meta.php. After installing the module you get suggestions for $fields->get('') // suggests existing field names $templates->get('') // suggests existing template names $modules->get('') // suggests existing module names + all hooks defined in /site/modules/
