Enables AI coding agents to access ProcessWire’s API. Also provides a content migration system. This module provides a way for Claude Code (or other AI helpers) to have full access to the ProcessWire API via a command-line interface (CLI). Once connected to your site, you can ask Claude to create and modify pages, templates and fields, or do anything that can be done with the ProcessWire API. It's even possible for an entire site to be managed by Claude without the need for ProcessWire's admin control panel, though we're not suggesting that just yet. While working with Claude Code, I asked what would be helpful for them in working with ProcessWire, and this module is the result. Claude needed a way to quickly access the ProcessWire API from the command line, and this module provides 3 distinct ways for Claude to do so. Claude collaborated with me on the development of the AgentTools module, and the accompanying ProcessAgentTools module was developed entirely by Claude Code. Admittedly, a big part of the purpose of this module is also to help me learn AI-assisted development, as I'm still quite new to it, but learning quickly. This module aims to add several agent tools over time, but this first version is also somewhat of a proof of concept. Its first feature is basic migrations system, described further in this document. Please note that this module should be considered very much in 'beta test' at this stage. If you do use it in production (such as the migrations feature) always test locally and have backups of everything that can be restored easily. While I've not run into any cases where I had to restore anything, just the nature of the module means that you should use extra caution.

Follow the existing patterns from templates.toon" AI Coding Agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) 1. Tell your agent to read the docs: Read /site/modules/Context/AGENTS.md 2. Agent can now export context: php index.php --context-export --toon-only 3. Agent queries specific data: php index.php --context-query templates 4. Agent reads exported files: Read SKILL.md, then structure.toon and templates.toon The AI has complete context of your site and can generate code that follows your exact patterns!

Sooo, I'm still alive and in August, I will start on a new job and project that probably brings me back to work with the cool and great Processwire. :D 7 years ago I was forced to change job and ended in a cool new place doing front-end dev not using PW anymore. So unfortunately I didn't really use or follow PW in that time except once a year doing something tiny bits on the handful of websites I am responsible for. I'm sorry if I just disappeared "over night" and maybe left some things behind I was doing for PW, and didn't spend time looking out for them. The reason is, I also was very frustrated with a lot of things with the job and life at that time and 2019 was also when I started painting again digitally, as maybe some of you know. I went full hyper focus mode, everyday almost for 2-3 years in my spare time and since then slowed down. I was able to make a small career with it, and made a lot of new connections and experiences which was awesome. I will continue to work on making art and illustrations as I have a lot of new freedom with the new job too combine a lot of my skills. Finally I can work from home full time. A little dream come true. Thanks for still being here and keeping this small but awesome community alive! I have to catch up now! :D Cheers Soma

In this post I wanted to talk a little bit about the state of ProcessWire and AI. I'll share what my experience has been so far and where I think ProcessWire should focus going forward. This new world of AI can be both exciting and concerning, but it's the world that we've found ourselves in. As far as ProcessWire and web development goes, I think there's a lot to be excited and enthusiastic about— https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-and-ai/

Hey everyone! I just released a new module called InviteAccess. It's something I built for my own workflow and figured it might be useful for others too. The problem: when handing off a staging site to a client or a design agency, you either open it to the world or reach for HTTP Basic Auth — which works but isn't pretty and requires server config. I wanted something in between: a proper gate page that looks like it belongs to the project, with separate codes for each team. What it does InviteAccess hooks into ProcessPageView::execute (before any template rendering) and blocks all frontend requests until a valid invite code is entered. Logged-in ProcessWire users always pass through automatically. You define codes in the module config, one per line: SUMMER2025|Summer Campaign AGENCY-PREVIEW|Agency Team CLIENT-ACCESS|Client Preview The label after the pipe shows up in the access log, so you can see exactly which team accessed the site and when. Features Multiple invite codes with optional labels Session-based auth — enter once, stays valid for a configurable number of hours JSON access log with timestamp, IP, user agent, URL — last 50 entries shown right in the admin config panel Light / Dark / Auto theme switcher on the gate page (saved in localStorage, reacts to OS preference) Accent color setting — red, blue, green or black Configurable allowed pages that bypass the gate entirely CSRF protection, hash_equals() for timing-safe comparison, Cloudflare-aware IP detection The gate page uses ApfelGrotezk font and a design inspired by processwire main page itself — warm gray background, white card, mobile-first. Screenshots Installation cd site/modules git clone https://github.com/mxmsmnv/InviteAccess.git Then Modules → Refresh → Install → Configure. GitHub: https://github.com/mxmsmnv/InviteAccess Happy to hear any feedback or suggestions!

Thank you. It is a great module and works perfectly. Sometimes it would be cool to password protect individual pages instead of locking the complete sites. It just the opposite use case.

I try not to worry about things I cannot control, and AI falls squarely in that category for me. It's here, it's not going anywhere, and every senior person I know in tech is embracing it rather than fighting it. I use it daily now and it makes me more productive. That's the reality. The people protesting or boycotting it aren't going to slow it down, they're just going to fall behind. That said, I don't think caring about the environmental and societal side means you have to opt out. If anything, the opposite. People who use AI and care about how it's built and powered are the ones with any real influence over where it goes. I'd genuinely have no hesitation donating to make AI development better and more responsible, that feels like a more direct lever than abstaining. Ryan put it well: sitting out doesn't improve anything. Use it, push for better, and concentrate on what's within your own family four walls.

Until we get an "official" media manger module we need to make some workarounds. Let me tell you about my personal solution for this: I am using the FileMover module from @Robin S for copying images from a global "media library" field (that is placed inside a dedicated "media library" template ) to any of my image fields. Please have look at robins comment here where he extended the functionality of his module through a hook. In this case you can open the image library page through a modal with a click from any image field. There is also a small screencast that shows this – for me this is a really good workaround. Please have a look for yourself and give it a try (and some credits to robin!).

I manage to configure the HTMLPurifier. In site/ready.php, I put this: $wire->addHookAfter('MarkupHTMLPurifier::initConfig', function (HookEvent $event) { $config = $event->arguments(0); $def = $event->arguments(1); $def->addElement('details', 'Flow', 'Flow', 'Common'); $def->addElement('summary', 'Flow', 'Flow', 'Common'); }); I got that addElement method from there: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-requests/issues/226 Don’t ask me about the three other arguments (Flow, Flow, Common). 😅 That + a config.json file for this specific field where you specify the accordion plugin and the accordion button in the toolbar, as you mentioned above, and it works fine.
