This week on the core dev branch there are several new hookable methods added to the Page class. While many of them may be redundant with hooks already available on the Pages class, those on the Page class are more convenient to use in some cases, especially when it comes to using custom Page classes. It's helpful because you can hook CustomPageClass::method rather than Page::method to more easily target specific types of pages. Or you can override the methods in a custom page class, without having to hook them at all. I'll get into this with more details and examples in a future blog post that goes in-depth on using custom page classes. Here's a summary of the methods that were added with links to their API reference documentation pages: Page::addReady() Page::added() Page::addStatusReady() Page::addedStatus() Page::removeStatusReady() Page::removedStatus() Page::cloneReady() Page::cloned() Page::deleteReady() Page::deleted() Page::editReady() Page::moveReady() Page::moved() Page::renameReady() Page::renamed() Page::saveReady() Page::saved() Page::renderPage() The above is just for this week, but there's quite a bit more in 3.0.253 relative to 3.0.252, so be sure to check the last issues from ProcessWire Weekly for more details.

Field Access A Process module that provides an overview of field access settings, including template overrides. Usage The table has a sticky header so that the columns can be understood when the table is scrolled. The empty space underneath the table is to allow scrolling to the bottom of the table. There are fields for filtering the table by field name or by template name. The field names link to the Access tab of the field settings, and the template names link to edit the access settings for the field in the context of that template. A collapsed field at the top of the page has information about the meaning of the table column headers, and tips for understanding the values in the table: Table column headers Control: Is access control enabled for this field? View: Roles that can view the field Edit: Roles that can edit the field Show: Show field in page editor if viewable but not editable (user can see but not change) API: Make field value accessible from API even if not viewable Overrides: Overrides of the field access settings in template context Tips If the guest role has view access then it means that all roles have view access. You can hover the guest role in the View column to see a tooltip with all the role names if you want a reminder of those. Overrides: when access control is enabled as a template override, the Control, View, Edit, Show and API columns only display settings that are different from the field access settings. If a column is empty it means the field access setting applies. https://github.com/Toutouwai/ProcessFieldAccess https://processwire.com/modules/process-field-access/

The following is written in somewhat hurry, but I'm sure most of you get what I mean. What Processwire really needs is: Section for practical code examples. Searching through the forum gets tiresome and sometimes it can take hours to find what you're looking for. The API is good, but sometimes very opaque if you don't already posses good deal of knowledge about it. Admin needs some kind of "settings" page that puts things like "password strength" in one easy to reach place. Basically everything the core modules do, should be here. Then if you want to edit something, it will point you to the right module. Currently a lot of core features are very fragmented and hard to find if you don't know they exist in the first place. I think them being in the modules is great, but one page that gathers all that information is easy to digest form would make it better.

Text Readability A module that uses the PHP Text Statistics class to evaluate the readability of English text in textarea fields according to various tests. The available readability tests are: Flesch Kincaid Reading Ease Flesch Kincaid Grade Level Gunning Fog Index SMOG Index Automated Reability Index Spache Readability Score Dale Chall Readability Score Coleman Liau Index The results of the enabled tests are displayed at the bottom of textarea fields – either when the "book" header icon is clicked, or at all times, depending on the option selected in the module configuration. An interpretive tooltip appears when you hover any of the result values. Requires ProcessWire >= 3.0.246 and PHP >= 7.2.0 Why is readability important? Readable.com says: And: The Wikipedia article on readability has useful information too. Module configuration Select which readability tests you want to enable. For each test there is an "about" link to information about the test. Select whether the results of the enabled readability tests should be shown only when the header action icon is clicked (default), or if the results should always be shown. For multi-language sites, select which ProcessWire language represents English (as the tests are only intended for English text). Advanced If you want to disable the readability test results for a particular textarea field you can hook TextReadability::allowReadabilityResults. Example: $wire->addHookAfter('TextReadability::allowReadabilityResults', function(HookEvent $event) { $field = $event->arguments(0); $page = $event->arguments(1); // Disable readability results for the "body" field on the "home" page if($field->name === 'body' && $page->template == 'home') $event->return = false; }); https://github.com/Toutouwai/TextReadability https://processwire.com/modules/text-readability/

@Jonathan Lahijani, I've released a new module that provides an overview of field access settings:

Thanks @BrendonKoz! Will check this out.

The FieldtypeMeasurement module might be another option (I haven't used it myself yet, but it appears to offer time conversion). It may need some massaging to allow the interface to behave the way you want, but I'd think it would assist you quite a bit. I saw in the module's README that it has second, minute, hour, day; I just don't know if it offers (out-of-the-box) microseconds. The combination input values might not default to the formatting you'd want to provide end-users. Honestly, I'd probably just use a text field and handle the calculations myself, unless they have strict database requirements or comparisons that you'd need to do in the future. Just in case this is useful for your project (referencing a now-fixed rounding issue with Float values in PW):

Hi Robin! I haven't yet identified how/where this is occurring, other than that it is. In a repeater field utilizing a TinyMCE-enabled textarea field, the (I assume) JavaScript injected icon and tooltip seem to be rendered twice. I'm seeing this in both ProcessWire v3.0.246 and v3.0.256 on PHP v8.2 with module version 0.1.3. Not a big deal, just thought I'd report it.

Although I never thought of this use-case, it should be possible as the module uses (IIRC) the MySQL Time type which does have fractional second support.

Always wanted those on Page. Even before custom classes existed. Great addition! I think that custom classes truly need more introduction and use cases. So eagerly waiting for Ryan's upcoming blog post.

@ryan, You'd mentioned at some point that existing installs could retain the old theme and perhaps users prompted to update to the new one. At the moment if I upgrade an existing site to the dev branch, the new theme is enabled by default. This breaks any custom TinyMCE styling as the new theme overrides it. Are you planning to implement this prior to the next master version? Ideally for us, given we have several hundred sites which we update to the latest master when it is available, nothing would change for the users. We could then turn on recommending a theme upgrade on a per site basis, or if we choose to, force the upgrade on the users. Cheers, Chris

With anything new that gets designed (a website, operating system, interface), there's always that initial cringe feeling because it's no longer familiar and comfortable, but after a couple weeks, that goes away. I'm developing a new site and using the new Konkat admin theme, which at first felt totally wrong, but now it feels just right (with 1-2 CSS tweaks, like to make repeaters jump out more). My brain is very picky about adjusting to new fonts... Inter in this case. I like the font a lot, but I just need to adjust to it, get used to the curves. Same thing with new versions of Windows when they change the default font. It's kind of like when Facebook went through a few major design changes at during the 5-10 mark and everyone would complain, then everyone got used to it. Anyway, great work. It's grown on me.
