There aren’t any core updates to report this week, but that’s because I’ve been throughly wrapped up in a client project using ProcessWire (the same one I’ve been busy with the last couple weeks). When it came time to decide which version of ProcessWire to use when this project launches next week, there was no question in my mind about using the latest dev version. It’s very solid. I upgraded their existing site (using 3.0.229) to it in preparation for the new site, and of course there were no hiccups or glitches. But it did make me think the current dev branch really belongs on the main branch. So I think that as soon as we wrap this project up, I’d like to get a new main/master branch version ready by or before the end of the year, so that’s the goal. Lately there's been a real increase in the number of new sites posted to our Showcase, which is great to see! Some amazing work coming in. As always, If you have sites you've recently launched or soon will, please add them to the sites directory. Thanks and have a great weekend and happy holidays!

Hi everyone, Like many of you, I have relied on the Pages2Pdf module in the past. It was a great tool, but unfortunately, it seems to be no longer actively maintained. With the shift to PHP 8 in most modern environments, the older version of the underlying mPDF library used in the original module has become a bottleneck, causing compatibility issues. Since I needed a working solution for a current project, I have already created a fork and updated the code to work with a newer, PHP 8 compatible version of mPDF. The Idea: Wire2Pdf I am planning to release this updated version as a new module under the name Wire2Pdf. This would distinguish it from the legacy module and allow for new features (like custom font support) without breaking older installations. What I have done in a fork so far: Code refactoring for PHP 8 compatibility. Updated the mPDF library to a recent supported version. -> https://github.com/markusthomas/Pages2Pdf Before I proceed... I wanted to check with you first: Is there still a strong interest in a maintained module based on mPDF, or have you moved to other solutions (like RockPdf)? Are there specific pain points you had with Pages2Pdf that I should address if I move forward with Wire2Pdf? If there is enough interest, I will polish the code, package it as a new module, and release it. Cheers! Markus

Hi everyone! You’ve probably seen embedded product cards directly in articles on sites like Allegro, PriceRunner? I was using Hanna Code but found its capabilities limiting for my needs, so I decided to fork it and create Embedr - a more feature-rich version: Key Features: 🎯 Dynamic content blocks via ProcessWire selectors (not just static code) 🔄 Live preview directly in admin interface 🎨 Built-in visual card builder (UIKit-based) - no PHP required! 📝 Custom PHP templates for full control when needed 🏷️ Reusable embed types system 🔍 Debug mode with comprehensive logging ✅ Guest-safe - works for all users out of the box Quick Example: Create an embed with a selector: Name: featured-products Selector: template=product, featured=1, limit=6 Type: products Insert in text: ((featured-products)) Done! The module automatically finds pages and renders product cards. Need custom design? Just create a PHP template at /site/templates/components/products.php GitHub: https://github.com/mxmsmnv/Embedr Give it a try and let me know what you think! 🚀

@ryan, could you please take another look at this breaking change before releasing the next master: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-issues/issues/2157 I have modules that break when updating to the most recent PW version.

Hello y'll, I so happy introduce technical template for ai generate templates on Tailwind from ProcessWire fields. How to work: Select templates you want to design interfaces for Copy the generated JSON structure Ask AI to "Create a Tailwind CSS design for displaying this ProcessWire data" Specify any preferences like: mobile-first, card layout, table layout, etc. Push button "Copy Prompt" Insert prompt to Claude AI, ChatGPT or another ai services. How to Setup: Use ftp for transfer lego.php to template folder On ProcessWire create template with same name. Create new page with select template. Enjoy. Note: It is not always possible to generate a template from the first time, but by debugging you can make even more or less excellent variants. On example screenshot finish page with adjusting elements, blocks on Tailwind. If you have questions or wishes ask me below. Thank you. UPDs: 04/14 Update prompt lego.php

Nested Checkboxes An inputfield for Page Reference fields that groups options by their parent page, and optionally by grandparent page too. This can help editors understand the grouping of the selectable pages, and also makes it quicker for an editor to select or unselect an entire group of pages. The checkboxes at the parent and grandparent level are not for storing those pages in the field value - only for quickly selecting or unselecting groups of pages at the lowest level of the hierarchy. For example, in the screen recording above the "Cities" Page Reference field allows only pages with the "city" template, and the pages at the country and continent level are not included in the field value. The inputfield is only for use with Page Reference fields because the structure comes from the page tree. Requires PW >= v3.0.248. Configuration For each field that uses the inputfield you have these options: Checkboxes structure: choose "Parents" or "Parents and grandparents". Collapse sections that contain no checked checkboxes: this option makes the inputfield more compact. There are also the standard column width and column quantity options familiar from the InputfieldCheckboxes inputfield. These apply to the selectable pages at the lowest level of the hierarchy, and the structure is arguably more readable when these are left at their defaults. https://github.com/Toutouwai/InputfieldNestedCheckboxes https://processwire.com/modules/inputfield-nested-checkboxes/

Iconify Icon A bundle of fieldtype, inputfield, and admin helper modules for searching and displaying Iconify icons. Over 200,000 open source vector icons are available for selection. Requires the FileValidatorSvgSanitizer module. Be sure to abide by the license terms of any icons you use. The license of each icon set is viewable on the Iconify website. Fieldtype and inputfield modules When the FieldtypeIconifyIcon and InputfieldIconifyIcon modules are installed you can create a field of type IconifyIcon. Field config options Iconify icon set prefixes: In most cases you will want to define one or more icon set prefixes for the field, to limit the search to those particular icon sets. This is because the number of icons available through Iconify vastly exceeds the maximum of 999 results that can be returned via the Iconify search API. You can find the prefix of an icon set from its URL by browsing at https://icon-sets.iconify.design/. For example, the prefix of the icon set browsable at https://icon-sets.iconify.design/mdi/ is "mdi". Enter the icon set prefixes into the config field separated by commas. Icon preview size: Enter a width/height in pixels for the preview of the selected icon if you want to override the default. Using the inputfield Type an icon name (or part of an icon name) into the search input and a list of matching icons will be displayed. You can hover on an icon in the results to see the set prefix and name of the icon. Click on an icon to select it. If you have not defined any icon set prefixes in the field config then you can limit the search to particular icon sets by entering icon set prefixes into the search input before a colon. For example, entering "mingcute,tabler:flower" would search for icons with "flower" in their name from the "mingcute" and "tabler" icon sets. When the page is saved the selected icon is downloaded from Iconify, sanitized via the FileValidatorSvgSanitizer module, and stored within the /site/assets/iconify/ directory. Icons are not automatically deleted from this directory if they are no longer used in a page value, but if you want to clean up this directory at any point you can delete it and icons will be automatically re-downloaded when they are next needed. The field value The formatted value of a IconifyIcon field is a WireData object with the following properties: set: The icon set prefix name: The icon name path: The path to the icon file url: The URL to the icon file svg: The SVG code of the icon raw: The raw icon value that is stored in the database For example, if your icon field was named "icon" and you were outputting the src attribute of an <img> tag, you would use $page->icon->url. Or if you were outputting inline SVG code you would use $page->icon->svg. The unformatted value of a IconifyIcon field is the raw database value. Normally you won't need to deal with the raw value when using the inputfield, but if you want to use the API to set a field value then the format of the raw value is iconify--[icon set prefix]--[icon name]. Example: iconify--mingcute--flower-line. Example of object properties: Using Iconify icons in the ProcessWire admin Installing the AdminIconifyIcon module allows you to use Iconify icons as field, template or page icons in the ProcessWire admin. Icons used in the ProcessWire admin are monochrome so any colours or shades in selected icons will not be preserved. Module config You can define icon set prefixes and the icon preview size in the module config. These settings are applied to the inputfields used to set Iconify icons for fields and templates. Field and template icons An "Iconify icon" field is added to the Edit Field and Edit Template screens. When this field is populated it overrides any selection in the core "Icon" field and this field is hidden. Page icons To use an Iconify icon as a page icon for admin pages in the ProcessWire menus, create a IconifyIcon field named "page_icon" and add it to the "admin" system template. For any page using the admin template (e.g. a page representing a Lister Pro instance), open it in Page Edit and select an icon in the "page_icon" field. An example of a "Countries" Lister Pro instance with an Iconify icon: https://github.com/Toutouwai/FieldtypeIconifyIcon https://processwire.com/modules/fieldtype-iconify-icon/

You can use a IconifyValue class for customized output or here is a function for customize svg output <?php function getIcon(?WireData $icon, array $attrs = []): string { if (!$icon) { return ''; } try { $xml = new \SimpleXMLElement($icon->svg); foreach ($attrs as $key => $value) { if (isset($xml->attributes()->{$key})) { $xml->attributes()->{$key} = $value; } else { $xml->addAttribute($key, $value); } } // Return XML without the header declaration for clean HTML embedding $out = $xml->asXML(); return preg_replace('/^<\?xml[^?]*\?>/i', '', $out); } catch (\Exception $e) { wireLog('error', "SVG icon: {$icon->name} error => {$e->getMessage()}"); return ''; } } echo getIcon($page->icon, ['width' => 40, 'style' => 'color: red; border: 1px solid blue;']);

Hi everyone, For those of you running into compatibility issues with PHP 8 or needing a newer version of the underlying mPDF library, I wanted to let you know that I am working on a modernized successor to this module. To avoid clogging up this thread, I have started a separate discussion about the new project (currently named Wire2Pdf) here: If you are interested in a maintained version with PHP 8 support and new features, please join the conversation over there. Thanks!

Please try manually making changes to the module code in the relevant lines and, if possible, let us know whether it works or not.

Gemini replied the following after examining things a little bit: The Logic of Date Overlaps The reason your current selector fails is that it only checks if the existing booking completely "swallows" your new request. To catch any overlap (partial or full), you need to use the following logic: A booking overlaps if: The End of the existing booking is after the Start of the new request. AND the Start of the existing booking is before the End of the new request. The Correct ProcessWire Selector Assuming $id->datum is your new Start and $id->datumbis is your new End: // Define your requested range $newStart = $id->datum; $newEnd = $id->datumbis; // Find any page that overlaps // Logic: Existing End > Requested Start AND Existing Start < Requested End $overlap = $pages->find("template=booking, datumbis>$newStart, datum<$newEnd"); if($overlap->count > 0) { // Room is occupied echo "This room is already booked by " . $overlap->count . " existing reservation(s)."; } else { // Room is available echo "The room is available for this period!"; } Why this solves your problems: Existing Booking: 13.08.2025 to 04.12.2025 Problem 1 (01.07.2025 – 03.12.2025): * Is existing end (04.12) > new start (01.07)? Yes. Is existing start (13.08) < new end (03.12)? Yes. Result: Overlap detected. Problem 2 (01.10.2025 – 01.01.2026): Is existing end (04.12) > new start (01.10)? Yes. Is existing start (13.08) < new end (01.01)? Yes. Result: Overlap detected. Pro-Tip: Changeover Days If your system allows a guest to check in on the same day someone else checks out (e.g., Check-out at 11:00, Check-in at 15:00), use strictly "greater than" (>) and "less than" (<). If you use >= or <=, the system will flag the changeover day as a conflict. Using strict operators allows the dates to touch without overlapping. Data Types Ensure that $newStart and $newEnd are in the same format as stored in the database (usually Unix Timestamps or YYYY-MM-DD). If you are using ProcessWire's native Date fields, comparing them as Timestamps is the most reliable method.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a small utility module I’ve put together to help keep the /site/modules/ directory tidy. What it does: When updating modules ProcessWire renames old module directories by prepending a dot (e.g., .ModuleName). Over time, these "hidden" backup folders can clutter your file system. ProcessModuleCleaner identifies these orphaned directories and allows you to delete them directly from the admin interface. Key Features: Automatic Detection: Scans your site modules folder for any directory starting with a dot. Native UI: Built specifically for the ProcessWire backend using UIkit 3 classes for a seamless look. Interactive Selection: Uses AlpineJS for a fast and responsive "select all" and delete workflow. Safe Deletion: Uses ProcessWire's WireFileTools for reliable recursive directory removal. How to use: Install the module. Navigate to Setup > Module Cleaner. Review the list of found folders. Select the ones you want to remove and click "Delete". Screenshot / UI: The module displays a clean table with the folder name and the last modified date, so you know exactly how old those backups are. GitHub: https://github.com/markusthomas/ProcessModuleCleaner Module Directory: https://processwire.com/modules/process-module-cleaner/ I hope some of you find this helpful for keeping your production or development environments clean! Feedback is always welcome. Cheers!
