Ever needed a color picker on some kind of settings page? Didn't want to install and setup a full-blown colorpicker module? Here's a quick and dirty hook to change a regular text field into an <input type="color"> type of input: Before: After: <?php public function init(): void { wire()->addHookBefore('Inputfield::render', $this, 'changeFieldType'); } public function changeFieldType(HookEvent $event): void { $f = $event->object; $colorFields = [ Site::field_col_primary, Site::field_col_secondary, Site::field_contrast_primary, Site::field_contrast_secondary, ]; if (!in_array($f->name, $colorFields)) return; $f->attr('type', 'color'); } So right before the text input is rendered we change its "type" property to "color" and the browser will render a default color picker 😎 It once more shows how versatile ProcessWire is. And maybe it helps someone... 🙂 PS: Be advised that with that hack you only modify the optics of the field. The field will under the hood still be a regular text field, which means you'll not get any sanitisation or such from it and you might have to take care of that on your own. In my case it's a superuser-only settings page. So it is no issue at all.

This module is very much work in progress, but I wanted to get it out as soon as it is somewhat useful, so here we go: say hi to Cookie Table. Cookie Table is essentially a module for managing a list of cookies used on a site. At least around here in Finland it is a necessity to have a list of cookies, regardless of whether they are ones that you need a specific permission for. This list should include key details about each cookie, including name, purpose, and duration. Cookie Table is used to manage this data in the admin, and once you've set up a list of cookies, you can render it on the front-end as a table: echo $modules->get('CookieTable')->render(); ... or using your own custom markup: $cookies = $modules->get('CookieTable')->getCookies(); foreach ($cookies as $cookie) { echo "Cookie name: " . $cookie['name'] . "<br>"; } Now, the reason I'm saying that it's a work in progress — even though it does what I've outlined above — is that there are a lot of things I want to add still. At the moment it is mostly a tool for managing some data in the admin, which is something you could just as easily do via pages, or even simple CKEditor / TinyMCE field. What I am mostly interested is adding some automation: Crawling the site, or at least most important pages, and automatically detecting used cookies Integrating the module in whatever way makes most sense with PrivacyWire Integrating the module with existing cookie databases Adding some way to push/pull updates via web API Once one or more of aforementioned features have been added, I can definitely say that this module is worth its weight 😉 Cookie Table on GitHub Install via Composer: composer require teppokoivula/cookie-table

LyriChord is a Fieldtype, Inputfield and Markup module that lets you input a song's lyrics and optionally chords. You can input these manually or by importing from your clipboard. Inspired by the challenge posed by @oscarale in this thread: The markup module is optional. You can output your song the way you wish. For the HTML I prefer to use tables as they make it easier for things to be aligned properly without having to play around much with the CSS. Planned Features IMPORT XML HTML JSON CSV OCR PDF Other? NOTATION Staff? Guitar Tabs Solfa BOOKS Song books Pagination? EXPORT OTHER Support for syllables Transpose ??? Project + Download TBD soon. I need to cleanup a few things Quick(-ish) Demo

Image & File Dependencies Allows Image and File fields to be used in inputfield dependency selectors. Note: prefix field names with an underscore in your dependency selectors. Usage Install the ImageFileDependencies module. You can now create an inputfield dependency based on the number of images or files added to a Image or File field. When you create an inputfield dependency for a Image or File field, prefix your field name with an underscore. Example for a field named 'images': _images>3 Note that you do not include a '.count' subfield in the selector. https://github.com/Toutouwai/ImageFileDependencies Demo

The lastrun log file accumulates a lot of entries and is never automatically pruned/cleared. Production server has a ~50mb file with 1.5 million entries. The log file contents are not written in a way that ProcessWire can parse. Is this log file necessary for RM to function properly? The log entries are accumulating even when migrations are disabled.

Now there is 😀.

I'm currently traveling so don't have anything major to report this week, but wanted to check in. I am posting this from my phone in the car (don't worry, I'm not driving) and I'm not great at typing from my phone so will keep it short. 🙂 Progress continues on the ProcessWire admin design and the website, and I can't wait till we can share it with you. We may soon get another master/main version merged from the dev branch, as there have been a few updates in the last several weeks that I think our stable version would benefit from, and a few more to come as well. More soon! Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Something else I wanted to mention is that for the last couple months, I've been manually verifying new accounts in the forums because we were just getting way too many spam signups. So now I'm manually researching every signup before they can post here. If an email address or IP shows up on any stopforumspam lists, or even just looks spammy, I don't approve it. Only about 1 out of 10 signups ends up with an approved account, as I'm pretty sure the rest are spam. If you sign up for a forum account here, ideally use an email address that is connected with a real company or organization, rather than a name followed by a bunch of random numbers @ gmail.com. Or, if you arent sure, you can always drop me a note on the contact form just letting me know you are a real person here for PW or webdev, and then I can approve the account right away. As soon as the spam signups slow down (hopefully they will!) I'll turn the automatic approval back on. We're also going to update the IP.Board version soon and that may help as well.

Some time ago, I learned you can add the "download" attribute to a link to force a browser to download the file when its clicked, like this: <a download href="my-awesome-file.jpg">Download</a> What I didn't realize until today is that you can actually specify a filename as a value for the download attribute like this which will automatically use that filename instead!: <a download="my___awesome___file.jpg" href="my-awesome-file.jpg">Download</a> This is incredibly convenient because it means if I want a user to download the same exact file 3 times but with specific filenames for each, I can just do this: <a download="my___awesome___file-1.jpg" href="my-awesome-file.jpg">Download 1</a> <a download="my___awesome___file-2.jpg" href="my-awesome-file.jpg">Download 2</a> <a download="my___awesome___file-3.jpg" href="my-awesome-file.jpg">Download 3</a> Furthermore, as you can see, I am using a triple underscore which ProcessWire cleans up and changes to a single underscore, as well as other changes (such as lowercasing everything) when uploading to a pagefile field. I want my filenames to be exactly as I upload and I know there's ways to prevent ProcessWire from doing that, but using the download attribute in the way I described works perfectly for my use case.

BETA: SplashAndGrab https://github.com/madebymats/InputfieldSplashAndGrab This module attaches a search input to selected image fields that lets you search and download images from Unsplash. (Unsplash is a stock photo service where you can download images for free and use as you wish. No strings attached.) You can search by string, colors, orientation/crop and order by relevance or time published I find Unsplash useful both for placeholder images when building sites but also as a time saver for editors if they don’t have any images at hand, just search, download and publish. Thanks to @apeisa for building the FlickrInputField Module and @Robin S for AddImageUrls, took a lot ideas and code from those modules.
