Got completely stuck on some coding issues. As a last resort I started a conversation with ChatGPT (free version). I had 2 problems. Problem #1 took me & ChatGPT a while to solve but we got there in the end. Now working on Problem #2. Not yet solved but ChatGPT has given me some ideas. Here's how we ended up tonight: Not only did ChatGPT give me some great ideas, it was more polite, encouraging and patient than most people I know. 😍😂

This week on the dev branch there are some issue fixes and new features. ProcessWire’s modal JS alert functions have been upgraded to use Uikit modals. Previously they were using Vex modals, but it appears that Vex is no longer maintained, so when we ran into an issue with them it just made sense to switch to Uikit for this, at least when AdminThemeUikit is the current admin theme. The JS functions affected are ProcessWire.alert(), ProcessWire.confirm() and ProcessWire.prompt(). All of which can be found in ProcessWire’s main.js file used by admin themes. ProcessWire’s Markup Regions output method was updated this week to support class removal by wildcard or regular expression. When you specify a class attribute with a class name that starts with “-“ that means that you want to remove that class from the element you are overriding/appending/prepending. Previously you had to specify the full class name you wanted to remove. Now you can specify a wildcard like this: <div id="content" class="-uk-width-*" pw-append></div> That would make it remove all classes from #content that start with "uk-width-". You may place the wildcard anywhere in the expression that you want to, enabling you to remove by prefix or suffix. But if that’s not enough, you can also specify a regular expression like this, which would do the same thing as the above: <div id="content" class="-/^uk-width-.*$/" pw-append></div> That's probably overkill for most, but between the “/“ delimiters, you may use any PCRE regular expression. Usually when we add a class to a markup region, we just specify it like a regular HTML class attribute. But if you want to add a class that would match what you are removing, you’ll want to prefix your class name with a plus sign. That tells the Markup Regions processor not to remove it even if it matches your rule. For example, the following would remove all uk-width classes and then add a uk-width-1-4 class: <div id="content" class="-uk-width-* +uk-width-1-4" pw-append></div> Regarding the new ProcessWire website: it’s nearly done except for the homepage. I’m saving the best part for last. I’m not saying the site will launch tomorrow, as there’s still a lot of detail work to take care of too. But I did want to say that a lot of progress has been made and hopefully it won’t be too much longer before we launch it. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

It still feels crazy that we can talk to computers now, but it has already had a huge impact on my life. Not only my dev life. It's also still crazy to call given results an "idea", but I guess we don't have better words for it so far... If you liked the experience try https://www.cursor.com/ or https://windsurf.com/. I started with cursor, then gave windsurf a try for some weeks. I switched back to cursor, because cursor tab so so extremely well at predicting what I want to do next, that I feel it makes me extremely faster all the time while I'm working. Windsurf on the other hand felt better when asking it to create files, read the codebase, have a chat or use it for non-dev questions (like a web search or some other crazy tasks). While both are already next level compared to copy-pasting things to chatgpt, because they know "everything" about your codebase, I think cursor tab is a different beast. It's there for you all the time. You just type three letters and it predicts 3 lines of code. It's incredible powerful in my opinion and it's also great and fun to learn. Because sometimes it predicts new patterns and then you can look that pattern up and if it's a good pattern to know and use you can keep it in your mind and start using it on your own. If you use AI only actively when asking specific questions you miss out on this.

A custom Fieldtype and Inputfield for ProcessWire that allows you to store a Twitch username on a page and view its live stream status. The module currently uses TailwindCSS for styling (but future versions may make the styles configurable). Inlcuded modules: FieldtypeTwitch: Stores the Twitch username. InputfieldTwitch: Input field with live status preview in admin. MarkupTwitchStream: For rendering Twitch information on the frontend. Github: https://github.com/TwoWheelDev/MarkupTwitchStream Module Listing: https://processwire.com/modules/markup-twitch-stream/ (Currently pending approval)

Version 1 is here! https://github.com/orgs/NativePHP/discussions/547 Mobile apps capability in the works: Not surprised; given that Caleb Porzio also wrote Alpine.JS 😊.

I totally support what @bernhardsaid and I just want to add: VS Code Insiders with Github Copilot - for free. Not sure why and how but the results feel a bit more nuanced at times. Combined with Cline/Roo you even could add a free Gemini 2.0/2.5 key which outperforms in conceptual tasks (PRDs/SOPs) quite often. All you need to do is installing VS Code Insiders, add Copilot through the interfaces provided (you can't miss them!). I enjoy writing mass content, like docs with it, as it doesn't ruin my credits in Windsurf/Cursor.

Hi @BrendonKoz, thanks for reply! I tried exactly the same syntax but unfortunately that didn't work. I am working on a full text searchable archive of old special interest magazines where I just need an image per page, a large text field for the OCR'd text and maybe some tags. Meanwhile I stumbled upon the amazing plugin "RepeaterImages" by @Robin S which looks like it might just solve my problem 🙂
