Hi @sirhc 1. Set memory_limit to a higher value. 2. Use ImageMagick https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-3.0.10-expands-image-resize-options/ 3. Use client-side image resizing https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-3.0.63-adds-client-side-image-resizing/

Hello guys ! The Gitlab server is fixed and running, you can update the module to the latest version. All SDKs can be downloaded separately without using composer, the link of each SDK is provided in the module settings. You must uninstall the previous version before testing it. Thanks!

This week we added the new pages export/import feature to the core! In this post, we tell you how to install it and cover all of the new things added over the last week. https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-3.0.71-adds-new-core-module/

Thank you @Gideon So! I tested it and it worked quite well. I really hope this feature is realised in the core... Yu

I like to showcase my new website acniti on the forum here. History Building and managing a website is a hobby, over the years, making websites got more complicated and more technologies, knowledge and wisdom are required. I started building my first website around 1997. It started out with a static site built with FrontPage, a WYSIWYG HTML editor. A few years later it was time for the first content management system, I looked at Joomla but settled for MediaWiki. I run those websites for 2 years on the MediaWiki platform and then moved on to WordPress. WordPress was good, it did a good job but over time, it became more complicated to make something out of the box, if it's not a blog, it becomes complicated and to have a feature rich website requires a lot of plugins. Little by little it became less fun and more and more hassle juggling the various plugins. In 2014 I became interested in learning PHP programming, I wanted to do this already for many years, but never had enough time to bite the bullet and work my way through the basics. At the end of the courses I though and now what have I learned, how to put this into action? To built modern website with PHP only is difficult, it also requires knowledge of html, MySQL, CSS, java-script etc. I started looking for a framework experimented a little with CakePHP and then came across Processwire via a CMS Critic blog post. Development setup I developed the acniti website on a Linux Ubuntu 16, with PHP 7 and MySQL as the development server. For the IDE I use PhpStorm, before using Storm I have used and tried some other IDE's such as Zend, Eclipse, Netbeans, Aptana but none of them I liked, some were feature poor, Zend and Eclipse were slow and use a lot of memory. PhpStorm not free but definitely worth the investment. I make use of the free tier Git repository of AWS called CodeCommit, I still use GIT Cola to commit the changes, I could also use PhpStorm for this but I never took the time to change my workflow. For project management I am a big fan of Redmine, Redmine is a web-based open-source project management and issue tracking tool. I use this also for my other work so it easily integrates with the website building flow as well. It's easy for maintaining lists of features you want to carry out per version, it supports a wiki which is easy for making notes and keeping a log of the activities. I use it everyday and it runs on Ruby. For images and graphics I switch back to Windows for some Photoshop. Processwire The acniti website runs on the latest stable Processwire version at the time of writing 3.0.62, the website has 4 languages including an Asian language. The Japanese language URL's are implemented with their 3 alphabets kanji, hiragana, katakana i.e. https://www.acniti.com/ja/インレットフィルタ. Some images on the site have text and image language tags help to select the correct language, the Processwire blog post from 30 June was helpful to get this running. The main site has a bootstrap theme, for the mobile version of the site the google AMP specification is implemented. This was really fun to do but challenging at times as the AMP specification is still a little limited. To visit the AMP pages type /amp/ behind any URL like https://www.acniti.com/amp/ for the homepage. The Google webmaster portal is really easy to troubleshoot and check for the correct AMP implementation. Finally structured data according to schema.org is added to the site via the JSON-LD markup. The commercial modules ProCache and Formbuilder are installed. The ProCache module is really amazing and makes the website lightning fast. Besides the commercial modules around eleven open-source modules are used, Database Backups, Tracy Debugger, Wire Mail SMTP, Protected Mode, Batcher, Upgrades, PublishAsHidden, URL (Multi-language), Twitter Feed Markup, Email Obfuscation (EMO), Login History, Selector test. During development the Processwire forum is really helpful and checked often. The forum is good for two reasons, most of the questions, I had during development of the site, are already on the site. Secondly the only 6 questions I posted over the last 2 years, are quickly and accurately answered. The downside I didn't become a very active member on the forum but see that as a compliment. An open issue on the acniti site is the AMP contact form with Formbuilder, the restricted usage of java-script for the AMP specification requires some more in-depth study. Hosting setup For the hosting services the acniti site uses Amazon EC2, I use AWS already many years to manage my cloud office so it was easy to decide to use it for the web hosting as well. The site is running on a micro instance of EC2 and with the ProCache module CloudFront is serving webpages worldwide fast. Updates from the development server are sent to CodeCommit and from there to the production server. From a site management point of view it would be nice to use AWS RDS to manage the MySQL databases, but from a cost perspective I decide not to do that for now. Via a cron I have set up automatic MySQL backups and these are via another cron job uploaded to AWS S3. To make sure the server is safe, a cron job runs daily snapshots of the server, this is getting initiated via AWS Lambda. Lambda also removes older snapshots because during creation a delete tag is attached for sevens days after their creation. It's important to make a separate MySQL backup as with snapshots the database often gets corrupted and its easier to restore a database backup than to fix a corrupted database. Another nice feature to use AWS Lambda for is a simple HTTP service health checker, which reports to you by email or sms when the website is down. Making use of all these Amazon services cost me probably somewhere between 10 - 15 $ a month, I have to estimate a little since I am running a lot more things on AWS than only the website. The site is running on a Comodo SSL certificate but next year I will change to the free LetsEncrypt, as it is easier to add and will automatically renew after 90 days. The Comodo certificate requires manually copy pasting and editing the certificates in place. Writing Content The content for the site I write in the Redmine wiki, most of the content I write requires research and it takes about two weeks before I publish the content to the Processwire site. For writing content I use the google spell checker with the grammar checker, After the Deadline. To ensure catchy headlines they are optimized with the Headline Analyzer from CoSchedule Social Media Now the site is running, it needs promotion. The robots.txt files shows the search engines the way as does the sitemap.xml both of these I have made in a template file. Most of the blog articles I promote are republished on social networks like, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Google+, Twitter, and some branch specific networks as the Waternetwork and Environmental XPRT. To check, the search engines index the site well, Google webmaster and Bing webmaster check for any problems with the site. For statics on the same server there is an instance installed of Piwik. Piwik is a leading open alternative to Google Analytics that gives full control over data. The Piwik setup works very well and gives a good overview of the site usage both on the desktop via the site or via a mobile app. As a part of a test I have installed the open-source SEO-panel on the same server to manage keywords and to further improve the scores in the search engine, a nice feature is that you can also track your competitors. I am still new to SEO panel and have to learn more how to use the tool effectively.

ProcessWire DropboxAPI on GitHub: https://github.com/clipmagic/DropboxAPI This module is a wrapper for Kunal Varma's Dropbox PHP SDK https://github.com/kunalvarma05/dropbox-php-sdk It was created to perform a specific function for a client, ie upload PDF files on a PW website to a specific Dropbox account folder. The PDF files, created using @Wanze's excellent PagesToPdf module using the WirePDF functions, are generated from Formbuilder forms completed by front-end site visitors. Works a treat! There's more that could be done to allow ProcessWire to take advantage of all the features of the SDK, eg downloads, multiple Dropbox accounts, etc. You are welcome to request changes and/or fork the GitHub project to extend the feature set. Enjoy! System requirements PHP 5.6.4 or greater Composer The PHP mbstring extension General information This module enables you to access a single Dropbox (www.dropbox.com) account to upload files from a ProcessWire website. All kudos to (https://github.com/kunalvarma05/dropbox-php-sdk) for the PHP API. First steps Visit (https://www.dropbox.com/developers) and read the documentation. Log into Dropbox and create a new application. It's recommended to limit ProcessWire App access to a specified folder Make a note of the App key, the App secret and the name of the Dropbox folder Installation Download the zip file into your site/modules folder then expand the zip file. Next, login to ProcessWire > go to Modules > click "Refresh". You should see a note that a new module was found. Install the DropboxAPI module. Configure the module with your App key, App secret and your Call Back URL You need to generate a Dropbox access token to enable your site to communicate with the nominated Dropbox account. Dropbox will generate a token for you or you can create a page for the front end of your ProcessWire site with a template to submit the token request to Dropbox, eg: <?php namespace ProcessWire; $drop = $modules->get('DropboxAPI'); if ($input->get->code && $input->get->state) { $code = $sanitizer->text($input->get->code); $state = $sanitizer->text($input->get->state); //Fetch the AccessToken $accessToken = $drop->getAccessToken($code, $state); echo "Copy/paste this code into the module configuration: " . $accessToken; } else { echo "<p><a href='" . $drop->getAuthURL() . "'>Log in with Dropbox</a></p>"; } ?> Once you have entered the token in the module configuration, you can unpublish this page. Usage Read the dropbox-php-sdk documentation! An example template for sending a file to a Dropbox App folder from ProcessWire: <?php namespace ProcessWire; use Kunnu\Dropbox\Dropbox; use Kunnu\Dropbox\DropboxApp; use Kunnu\Dropbox\DropboxFile; // send pdf to Dropbox $drop = $modules->get('DropboxAPI'); $app = new DropboxApp($drop->app_key, $drop->app_secret, $drop->authorization_code); if ($app) { //Configure Dropbox service $dropbox = new Dropbox($app); $dropboxFile = new DropboxFile('/path/to/myfilename.pdf'); $file = $dropbox->upload($dropboxFile, "/myfilename.pdf", ['autorename' => true]); //Uploaded File meta data if ($file) { $success = $file->getName() . " uploaded to Dropbox"; $drop->log($success); } }

Hi! Great module. Two requests: Could the token step be incorperated into the admin settings or a required Process module? I've been thinking for ages to whether it was possible to view the contents of a folder from dropbox on your site and create public links to files - use case: upload your resources to this folder in dropbox and they'll automatically appear on the site? Thanks!

Also consider InputfieldSelectizeMultiple, it can support any complex markup for the select items, and any field, subfield, sub-subfield etc..

sorry, my first reply was a mistake, thought i edited it, but instead added a 2nd reply - the first reply only fixes the z-index issue; in terms of why the tags all vanish, it must be something with the JS init; for any sites in production, i have now switched over to use the module, and it works fine, and fixes both the vanishing tags and the z-index; depending on how you use image tagging you should be able to seamlessly switch between core tagging and module tagging, as long as you don't use the label/value pairs that the module features. At this stage the differences can be summed up: | Feature | Core | Module | |---------------------------|------|--------| | Label/Value Pairs Support | N | Y | | Z-index problem | Y | N | | Template context support | N | Y | | Tags vanish on upload | Y | N |

I am checking for this, and it appear that all the SDKs are compiled despite using /*NoCompile*/ on the require_once. Also I note that this feature was introduced in PW 3.0.43, so I assume the file will be compiled for PW 2.7. Concretely, what is the bad thing about leaving all those SDKs file being "FileCompiled" ? if($this->useFTP) { require_once(__DIR__ . '/Classes/FTPClient.php'); } if($this->useAmazonS3) { require_once (/*NoCompile*/ __DIR__ . '/SDKs/aws/aws-autoloader.php'); require_once(__DIR__ . '/Classes/ClientAmazonS3.php'); } if($this->useDropbox) { require_once (/*NoCompile*/ __DIR__ . '/SDKs/dropbox/autoload.php'); require_once(__DIR__ . '/Classes/ClientDropbox.php'); } if($this->useGoogleDrive) { //require_once __DIR__ . '/SDKs/google/autoload.php'; // oh my.. require_once (/*NoCompile*/ __DIR__ . '/Classes/GoogleAutoload.pain.php'); googleAutoload(); require_once(__DIR__ . '/Classes/ClientGoogleDrive.php'); } Anyway, for the people who have the module in hand, I bumped the module to the version 0.0.36. The Gitlab server is not running up but will give a download link in PM as I would appreciate a test on a Windows machine..

I suspect that what is actually happening is that the 'normal' browser and 'incognito' mode are caching two different versions of the page, the 'normal' probably being older. Try a completely different browser and see what happens. BTW you could also try changing your code to $meta_title = $page->get('meta_title|title'); which should do the same thing. (Coz that ternary is hideous and unnecessary ) This won't actually help with the current problem, but is much nicer code.

Very cool project! That's a great use case for PW you got!

Hi, I have first time used and setup OPcache for a site and found a useful explanation of some aspects / setting params here: fine-tune-your-opcache-configuration-to-avoid-caching-suprises Maybe it is useful for someone else too.
