NativeAnalytics 1.0.24 is out Major update focused on getting rid of bot noise that was inflating stats and skewing single-page rates. What's new: Bundled matomo/device-detector — thousands of bot signatures, smart TV / mobile / console detection. No Composer required, but a site-wide Composer install is auto-detected and preferred. JavaScript-first tracking mode (new default for fresh installs) — server-side recording disabled by default, JS tracker is the source of truth. Cuts bot traffic by 60–80% because bots don't execute JS. Existing installs keep the legacy "Both" mode on upgrade — switch in module settings when ready. Stronger 404 / scanner filtering — IP-rate-limited 404 scanners, unidentifiable user-agents on 404s, and paths that resolve via PagePathHistory redirects are now filtered out of all three entry points (server-side, JS pageview, JS event). HTTP libraries treated as bots — curl, wget, python-requests, GuzzleHttp, RSS readers etc. are now correctly filtered. Expanded regex fallback with 2025/2026 AI scrapers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, ByteSpider, Meta-ExternalAgent and ~25 more). GitHub-based update check for the bundled device-detector — settings page shows when a newer release is available with manual update instructions (24h cached, no auto-downloads for safety). Module settings page reorganized into 7 collapsible fieldsets with two-column layouts. Upgrade is safe — your tracking mode stays at "Both" unless you change it. After upgrade I recommend switching to "JavaScript first" in module settings and watching the difference. A note on the bundled matomo/device-detector — the version shipped with this module (6.4.2) is intentionally a bit behind the latest release. Bundled libraries are meant as a fallback to keep the module self-contained; pinning a known-tested version avoids surprises when matomo introduces new detection rules or minor API changes between releases. The module checks GitHub for newer matomo releases in the background and shows an "Update available" notice in the settings when one is out. If you want the latest detection rules, the recommended path is to install matomo/device-detector site-wide via Composer (composer require matomo/device-detector) — the module will automatically prefer the Composer copy over the bundled one. Alternatively, you can replace the contents of /site/modules/NativeAnalytics/lib/matomo-device-detector/ with a newer release from the matomo GitHub page (instructions are in the module settings under the version notice). The release has been tested, but with this many changes some edge cases may still slip through. If you notice anything off, please let me know so we can fix it. 😉 Cheers R

Hi everyone, Building a package forwarding platform means dealing with phone numbers from dozens of countries. US customers, European recipients, warehouse staff - each expects a different format. Storing a raw string and hoping for the best doesn't work. This fieldtype does it properly. GitHub: https://github.com/mxmsmnv/FieldtypeTel What it does Powered by intl-tel-input v28 - bundled locally, no CDN dependency. Country flag picker with search Stores four formats per number: e164 - +12025550123 - for tel: links and shipping APIs intl - +1 202-555-0123 - for international display national - (202) 555-0123 - for local display country - us - for filtering and selectors echo $page->phone; // (202) 555-0123 echo $page->phone->e164; // +12025550123 echo $page->phone->country; // us // tel: link echo "<a href='tel:{$page->phone->e164}'>{$page->phone}</a>"; // Selector — find all Australian numbers $pages->find("phone.country=au"); Restrict countries, set preferred countries, per-field defaults Auto-format as user types AdminThemeUikit themed - light and dark mode via --pw-* CSS variables Requirements: ProcessWire 3.0.200+, PHP 8.2+ MIT License.

just a small update about the next NativeAnalytics version, v1.0.24. A lot has already been done, but I’m still testing and polishing everything before I publish the full release. One of the main things I’ve been working on is better bot and crawler filtering. NativeAnalytics should now do a much better job at filtering out AI crawlers, SEO bots, social preview bots, uptime monitors, common HTTP libraries and other automated requests, so the analytics data should be cleaner. I also added support for the Matomo device-detector library. Thanks to @adrian The module can use a site-wide Composer installation if available, or fall back to the bundled version included with the module. There is now also a clearer status section in the module settings, so it is easier to see what detection method is currently being used. 404 handling has also been improved. The module now tries to avoid logging false 404s when the URL can actually be resolved by modules such as PagePathHistory, ProcessRedirects or Jumplinks. There are also two new cleanup buttons: Cleanup resolvable 404s Cleanup suspicious probes Suspicious probes are now detected better as well. This includes common scanner URLs like WordPress/Joomla/Drupal/Magento/admin login probes, .env, .git, config files, shell upload attempts, path traversal attempts and similar noise. I also added an optional URL/path filter, so if someone wants to exclude some custom patterns from tracking, this can now be done directly from the module settings. The module settings page has also been cleaned up and reorganized. It should now be much easier to understand, with clearer sections for tracking, filters, bot detection, privacy/consent, retention, reports and advanced settings. There are also several smaller improvements around realtime visitors, IP blocking, cleanup tools, bundled library fallback handling and general admin/dashboard styling. This is not the final release post yet, but the next upgrade is getting close and should be available soon.

This week in the core, dev branch updates were largely focused on API documentation, with several minor core bug fixes (via WireTests) resolved during the at the same time. We also have new versions of the AgentTools and WireTests modules released this week as well. Core New: API.md documentation files (for agents and us): $classLoader / WireClassLoader — covers namespace registration, class maps, prefix/suffix path fallbacks, and findClassFile() for debugging (view) $datetime / WireDateTime — covers all public methods including date formatting, string-to-timestamp conversion, and relative/elapsed time output, with live-tested examples (view) $log / WireLog — covers save(), message(), warning(), error(), reading with getEntries()/getLines(), pruning, deleting, and built-in log names (view) $notices / Notices — covers adding notices, Notice flags (including string names), iterating, filtering with viewable(), hasErrors(), hasWarnings(), rendering, and Notice properties (view) $fields / Fields and Field — covers getting, creating, saving, cloning, tagging, flag constants, and field methods; (view) $fieldgroups / Fieldgroups and Fieldgroup — covers field membership, template relationships, and field context (view) $templates / Templates, Template, and TemplateFile — three separate API.md files covering the templates manager, the Template object in full, and the TemplateFile rendering class (View: Templates, Template, and TemplateFile). AgentTools module In AgentTools admin, you'll find a new "Tasks" feature. This lets you create your own custom tasks, which are essentially saved prompts that you can reuse and configure. The system also comes with several built-in tasks, including: WCAG accessibility review: Review templates and representative content for common accessibility issues. Recent log review: Scan ProcessWire logs for recent errors, suspicious activity, and operational issues. Migration review: Review pending AgentTools migrations before they are applied. SEO and content hygiene review: Review site structure and representative content for SEO/content quality issues. Template file security scan: Scan template files for common security risks in output, selectors, and request handling. A shared animated processing overlay UI was also added, used by both AgentTools and Page Engineer. (Try it!). Probably only of interest to agents, but more tools were made available via the CLI, which helps out with Engineer requests, as well as AI agents that you may have available on your localhost dev environment. WireTests module New comprehensive tests added to WireTests for the following API variables: WireClassLoader ($classLoader) User and Users ($user and $users) Role and Roles ($roles) Permission and Permissions ($permissions) WireDateTime ($datetime) See the full list of included tests (so far) Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

@markus-th Good catch! That was a formatting bug — PHP was rendering very small values in scientific notation (9.0E-6 kg) instead of human-readable units. Fixed in v1.7.0: the dashboard and DOCX export now auto-scale to µg / mg / g / kg depending on magnitude, so your total will show as e.g. 9 mg instead. Thanks for spotting it! @Peter Knight Love this idea — just shipped it in v1.7.0! Each bar is now colored by the average CO₂/request for that hour: green = Grade A (<100 mg), yellow = B, orange = C, red = D. So when you optimise a heavy page or compress images, the next day's bars literally turn greener. Tooltip also shows avg mg/request and Grade on hover. A/B/C/D legend sits above the chart. Looking forward to hearing how it goes when you try it!

Hi everyone, Every web page has a carbon footprint. Most developers have no idea what it is. This module measures it. GitHub: https://github.com/mxmsmnv/PageCarbon What it does Tracks response size, PHP execution time, and peak memory per front-end request, then estimates CO₂ using the Sustainable Web Design Model v4 (Wholegrain Digital, 2024). Results appear in a dashboard under Setup → PageCarbon. Admin dashboard: Per-page ratings: 🟢 A (< 100 mg) / 🟡 B / 🟠 C / 🔴 D (≥ 700 mg) 24-hour hourly CO₂ bar chart Top 50 pages by average CO₂ with exec time, response size, and hit count Real-world analogies - all-time total translated into 12 everyday equivalents: car km driven, espressos brewed, Netflix hours, Google searches, short-haul flights, trees needed for a year, and more DOCX export - zero-dependency, pure PHP via ZipArchive Screenshot: Performance-first architecture: WireCache buffer - metrics accumulate in memory, batch INSERT once per hour (zero per-request DB writes) Bot sampling - only 1-in-N bot requests recorded, human requests always in full 90-day raw retention with permanent hourly aggregates - historical data never lost Frontend API: $pc = $modules->get('PageCarbon'); echo $pc->renderBadge($page); // full card echo $pc->renderBadge($page, 'compact'); // single-line pill $stats = $pc->getStats($page); // avg_co2_mg, rating, hits... The average web page produces ~500 mg CO₂ per view. Most ProcessWire sites do better - now you can prove it.

Fantastic! I'll be using this a lot. Thanks @adrian

The Console panel now supports code that downloads files, eg:

There is already a setting for this in the "module settings" to disable this on every page. 😉 Already working on this, and will probably post an update later today. Working on: Aggressive bot detection: IP blocklist, 404 filter and some other updates.. 😉 R

That's huge. Obviously not a full solution as manual testing is (even with AI, so far) still required, but a big burden can be mitigated right at the start. 👌 Same for the SEO, but even moreso for the template file security scan. ❤️ Always happy for good documentation that PW is known for.

We might have a minor misunderstanding here. Building modules, tools, apps, anything with little to a lot of logic and functions is not the issue here. My problem is not that there are functions or config fields (Admin UI) missing or not working in a way or form I imagined them to work. The problem is that the Agents and LLMs are not ready yet to build module backends (Admin UI) - even when outlined in high detail. Sometimes they are almost there or at least it looks like it, sometimes they invent something totally new and won't even use existing field types, wrappers, and classes. Having an existing module, adding new functionality, new config settings, or even pages works incredibly well. That's because the Agent/LLMs can re-use existing structure of backend code. Besides that I totally support your step-by-step process and workflow. You can't just throw a vague idea towards whatever tool and expect a wonder. That's for sure. Little side note: I asked Kimi and Opus to build a module that's only purpose is to showcase module pages, all sorts of inputs and outputs. So I have a working base for interfaces I can point at later on. The prompt for those interested: The result: https://github.com/webmanufaktur/ProcessShowcase

I just had this same problem (some error in the translation csv I uploaded) and I fixed it through navigating to the admin page id folder in site/assets/files/LANGUAGEPAGEID/ and deleted all my templates*.json translation files.
