AgentTools updates (v12) New AgentTools Page Engineer Fieldtype: provides a page editing assistant with the ability to make page edits like writing or summarizing text, importing data from external sources, generating image descriptions, managing child pages, and more. To use it, create a new PageEngineer field, add to a template and edit a page. You get an in-page assistant where you can ask for page editing help. The PageEngineer comes with full knowledge and expertise of your entire site, built in. Also new to AgentTools this week is an upgrade to the migrations system. Now you can copy/paste migrations between dev and production sites. Just check the box next to one or more migrations and click export. Transferred migrations are encrypted with unique salt values from your /site/config.php file. So for security, it's not possible for import a migration that wasn't generated by AgentTools. Lastly, AgentTools also gained a "tattletale" feature. When enabled, if you ask the agent to do something that could compromise security or is otherwise suspicious, it triggers a special tool in AgentTools that blocks the user from making further requests for an hour. It also emails you (the admin) to let you know what specifically the agent found suspicious. Core updates (3.0.261) ProcessWire 3.0.261 is on the dev branch this week and continues with our reorganization of core classes for documentation purposes. New API.md documentation files were added for: $session, $config, $files, $database, $input, $sanitizer, and PagesRaw ($pages->raw). Because most classes are getting their own directories and API.md files, I'm thinking that the WireTests module might be merged into the core, and classes and modules will come with their own tests file (i.e. Class.tests.php and ModuleName.tests.php). It just seems to make sense that tests live alongside the class they test, so that they can be easily updated with the class. All of this core recorganization is leading towards ProcessWire 4.x. LazyCron was updated with CLI support for running jobs (with option to disable http running), and $modules was updated to now have its own CLI tools (visible when typing "php index.php"). Many more API variables will be getting their own CLI tools as well. I'm now using both Claude Sonnet 4.6 and GPT 5.5 Codex to do code reviews and write API.md documentation for the core. I find they each have their upsides so am trying to put them both to good use as much as possible. This week GPT 5.5 covered several core classes, and the entire /wire/core/Pages/ set of classes. For more details on this week's updates see the full commit log here. New versions of the following ProFields have also been released this week: FieldtypeTable, FieldtypeCombo, FieldtypeCustom and FieldtypeRepeaterMatrix. In addition to new features and fixes, these all have gone through AI code reviews and now have their own API.md files as well. More modules on the way too. I think that covers everything updated this week but it's late and I'm probably forgetting something, so I'll reply with more if it comes up. Thanks for reading and h ave a great weekend!

Hey everyone I'm pleased to report that MediaHub 1.16.0 has been released. Here's a breakdown of the changes. The next release will optimise bulk upload and crops. I will also add integrated focus points cropping. 1.16.0 Changelog Admin navigation Optional MediaHub link in the admin top bar. A new module setting (Show MediaHub link in main navigation) adds Media Hub to the admin top bar. Custom label for the top-bar link. When the top-nav option is on, a new Custom label field lets you override what appears in the top bar. Useful when the localised "Media Hub" string is verbose or when your team prefers a different term (Media, Assets, Library, DAM). Leave blank to keep the localised default. Setup → Media Hub label is unaffected. Library and inputfield Drag-to-reorder thumbnails in MediaHub fields. Just like the native InputField, you can reorder thumbnails to take advantage of first() and last() etc. Works across any view mode (grid, proportional, detail). Master "select all visible" checkbox in the table view header. Tick the column header to select every row currently rendered; untick to clear. "Add more" button now matches stock InputfieldFile Font, colour, hover state, and icon spacing across AdminThemeUikit, Reno, and Default are more consistent Bug fixes Library search now covers Alt/Description, Labels, and Collections. Previously search only matched the asset title and filename. Searching by exact ID is also now reliable. Renamed filename and title in the upload queue are now applied on upload. Editing the filename stem or title in the upload queue rows had no effect; the values were not transmitted to the server. Both fields are now picked up and saved with the new asset. Duplicating an asset preserves its Collections and Labels. Cloned assets were losing the page-reference fields. Both are now copied explicitly to the new asset. The duplicate confirmation message also clarifies that crops are not copied (they can be re-generated on the duplicate). Cleaned up a stray PHP warning in the library view left over from the v1.15.0 Tags → Labels rename. PHP 8.5 deprecation notice in the MediaHub inputfield resolved (explicit nullable parameter typing). Defensive changes Server-side upload batch limit now matches the configured browser-side limit. Previously the server hard-capped to 50 files per request even if Maximum upload batch had been raised higher; both ends now read the same setting. Bulk-import requests are now capped at 500 selections per request. Selecting thousands of existing site images at once was holding a single PHP request open for many minutes with no progress feedback and no resume path on failure. Larger jobs now surface a clear message asking you to import in batches. Upload temp-file cleanup window extended from 60 seconds to 5 minutes, to avoid deleting an in-flight temp file mid-write on slow connections. Container pages at the site root reinforced as hidden + system on upgrade, so the data-tree containers (Media Hub, Labels, Collections, Assets, Crops) cannot accidentally appear in front-end navigation. Security Import-by-URL is now safer on shared and self-hosted servers. Imports from external URLs are now hard-capped at 5 MB per file and refuse URLs that resolve to private or reserved IP ranges (mitigating server-side request forgery), and reject any non-HTTP(S) protocol on the initial request and on any redirect. Cheers Peter

Hi Mikel and SEO specialist Thanks for taking so much time to list your thoughts. I completely agree, and it's a testament to both SEO Modules and ProcessWire itself that they have worked together for so long. I hope my original post doesn't come across as a criticism of either Module or the developers. Life moves on, and understandably, the developers have new priorities. Yes, agree too. And I don't intend to recreate existing Modules simply for the sake of it. But I also want SEO Neo to rely on other modules as little as possible. So it's likely that SEO Neo will act as an umbrella/coordinating layer for companion Modules. All working together. It's an ambitious task, but I would prefer to build from the ground up with modular components (sub-modules) that can work together rather than end up with a Module which relies on various "3rd party" modules. I realise this somewhat contradicts my earlier statement. But to answer your specific points: SEO health (missing descriptions, duplicate titles, noindex flags) as a Lister-based audit view – this genuinely doesn't exist in the ecosystem yet Yes, this is on the roadmap and has been on my mind for some time. The module should have an SEO health dashboard that can display the basic rolled-up audit of your site. I use SEM Rush extensively (alongside several other SEO tools). SEO Neo won't try to replace them, but will surface critical issues within PW itself. I see this as a big benefit to SEO specialists, developers and editors, even if it serves as a launch pad for deeper investigation via more powerful SEO tools. 404 hotspots from the logger with a "create redirect" action wired into ProcessRedirects Yes, this is being developed currently with a focus on 404 logging. AI crawler activity from Wire Request Blocker Have added to the roadmap. SeoMaestro field status across templates SEO Neo will have a field status overview if that's what you mean? It won't report on other SEO modules' gaps. Native urlSegments support – as psy mentioned earlier in the thread, currently needs a hook in SeoMaestro urlSegments is done and working since my last post. I am stress testing on a larger site shortly. Canonical, og:url, twitter:url and hreflang all preserve $input->urlSegmentStr() natively. I also have a config setting for sites that want segments collapsed instead. The hook needed for SeoMaestro isn't required in SEO Neo. Yoast-style content analysis with traffic-light scoring – tends to produce text optimized for the algorithm rather than the reader. I am keen for SEO Neo not to become a Yoast copy. Schema.org helpers with documented hooks – ready-made generators for the common types (Article, FAQPage, Person, Organization, BreadcrumbList) that developers can call from templates. Not auto-detection (that doesn't work without explicit mapping), but a clean API. Noted. Finally, the rollout of SEO Neo's core module and individual components will likely be phases. The Neo in SEO Neo is more a nod to a new approach rather than Nearly Everything at Once. P

Hi all, a small confession from the frameless corner of the PW universe: in the last 15 years we've spent way too many evenings doing the same FTP-shuffle on shared hosting. Delete everything in site/, drop the DB via phpMyAdmin, re-upload, run install.php, log back in, find out the bug we were chasing only reproduces after a reset, sigh, repeat. The reason we do this on real hosting at all is that the gnarly bugs in modules-under-development never show up locally — AllowOverride, mixed file ownership, mod_security, you know the drill. But "let's test cleanly on the real server" and "no SSH access" don't combine well. So we built ProcessWireReset: a module that wipes a PW install back to clean profile state from inside the admin. No SSH, no FTP, no phpMyAdmin. Click the button, log back in, you're at a freshly installed PW with your superuser intact and any modules you marked as keep re-installed automatically. A few things worth knowing, since destructive modules deserve some care: Modules to keep + Directories to keep. Two fields in the config: one picks which modules survive (transitive dependencies included), the other is a free-form list of paths under site/ that should be spared by the cleanup — handy for things like templates/RockIcons or assets/backups that live outside the module directories. Custom tables go into a snapshot. After the reset you can pick which module-specific tables to restore. Auto-restoring everything turned out to fight with re-installed schemas more often than we liked. The reset can crash mid-way — a kept module's install() can fatal in surprising ways. The confirmation modal hands you a one-time recovery URL with a 256-bit token. If the worst happens, that URL gives you a clean reinstall with your original credentials. Belt, braces, and one extra strap. It's interactive only. No cron triggers, no CI hooks. The destructive button has a real human in front of it, on purpose. Pairs nicely with GitSync: If you're already using our GitSync module, ProcessWireReset is the missing other half. GitSync pulls a fresh module version from your GitHub repo into the live install at the click of a button — but it doesn't touch the DB or re-run install(). After a GitSync pull that changed schemas, fields, or admin pages, the previous install state and the new code drift apart. Hit Reset, the module is removed and re-installed cleanly from the freshly pulled code, and you're testing what you actually shipped instead of a frankenstein of old DB state and new files. That GitSync → Reset → test loop is what we use daily on shared-hosting test installs where SSH isn't an option. Repo (MIT): https://github.com/frameless-at/ProcessWireReset Modules Directory: https://processwire.com/modules/process-wire-reset Caveat the obvious: this thing is for development, not for production. Treat it accordingly. Curious to hear what you build/break with it. Bug reports and pull requests welcome. Cheers, Mike

Hi everyone, I’ve released a new module: ProcessLegalDocs GitHub: https://github.com/mxmsmnv/ProcessLegalDocs ProcessLegalDocs generates legal documents directly from the ProcessWire admin, including: Privacy Policy Terms of Use Cookie Policy Data Processing Agreement CCPA Notice Refund Policy Disclaimer It currently supports 93 jurisdictions and 44 languages, with jurisdiction-aware language selection and document requirements. This is also the first module built on top of my new Context module: https://github.com/mxmsmnv/Context Context acts as the AI/site-analysis base layer. ProcessLegalDocs uses it to understand the site structure, installed modules, fields, pages, and configured AI gateway, then uses that context to generate more relevant legal documents. The module can still work without Context, but in that case it falls back to more generic templates. For best results, Context should be installed and configured with AI. Main features: Generates Markdown legal documents with YAML frontmatter Stores files in /site/assets/legal/ Includes dashboard, preview, download, validation, regenerate, delete, and ZIP export actions Supports many privacy/data protection regimes, including GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, COPPA, PIPEDA, LGPD, APPI, PIPL, DPDP, PDPA variants, and many US state privacy laws Includes settings for owner/company data, DPO, business audience, data categories, processors, analytics, payments, email/marketing tools, cookies, refunds, subscriptions, review status, and optional ProcessWire page publishing Uses ProcessWire admin UI conventions / AdminThemeUikit Requirements: ProcessWire >= 3.0.255 PHP >= 8.3 Context module optional, but recommended for AI generation Let’s take a look at the module interface: Install: Clone into /site/modules/ProcessLegalDocs/ Refresh modules Install ProcessLegalDocs Open Setup → Legal Docs GitHub: https://github.com/mxmsmnv/ProcessLegalDocs Context module: https://github.com/mxmsmnv/Context This is an early release, so feedback, testing, issue reports, and ideas are very welcome.

Hi @AndZyk You are not alone. Same here. Uninstall and install the module again helps. Gideon

Hi @Mikel I use a custom JavaScript function (that name is entered in the PrivacyWire module settings) to check for consent and then set the cookie for activating NativeAnalytics: function initNativeAnalytics() { const consent = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('privacywire')); //console.log(consent); if (consent && (consent.cookieGroups.statistics || consent.cookieGroups.marketing)) { document.cookie = "pwna_consent=1; path=/; max-age=" + (60*60*24*365) + "; SameSite=Lax"; if (window.PWNA && typeof window.PWNA.trackIfConsented === 'function') { window.PWNA.trackIfConsented(); } } else { document.cookie = "pwna_consent=; path=/; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT"; } }

Hey! Yeah, that's a classic snag with ProcessWire's Repeater Matrix. The ->type property actually returns the "name" (slug) of the type, but ->label isn't a direct property of the item itself. To grab the human-readable label, you have to pull it from the field's definition. You can do it like this: PHP $label = $item->getRepeaterMatrixType()->label; echo $label; Essentially, $item->getRepeaterMatrixType() returns the actual type object, which contains all those extra details like the label, icon, and description. Super handy if you're building out a custom page builder and want the UI to match the backend!

Thanks @ryan - so the "page content" part is my concern but I am assuming that so long as we only add the PE field to pages that have publicly available content (frontend viewable) then it should be safe because it won't be able to read the page content from the "entire site" as per your initial post. I know I probably sound pedantic here, but I think this distinction is VERY important.

Reading through the commits log is like never before. I guess we are going to have a lot of cool stuff we were waiting for happening soon.

Both issues are fixed in v1.9.3 just released! @jacmaes - the sort direction bug is fixed. Root cause: the default sort direction parameter was always 'asc' (a non-empty string), so the fallback to the collection's configured direction was never reached. Now when no explicit sort is in the URL, both the sort field and direction come from the collection settings. @iank - both your suggestions are implemented, and your code was pretty much used as-is, thanks for that! View icon is now hidden for pages where $page->viewable() returns false Added canAddNew() to the Collection class that checks noParents — hides the Add button when set to "no new pages" or when it's a singleton and a page already exists And thanks to @elabx for the kind words!
