A few days ago I stumbled upon this old module, which had been laying in the modules directory of one of my sites since 2017 in a half-finished state. I have no recollection why I left it like that, but figured it might be useful for someone, so here we go: https://github.com/teppokoivula/Snippets https://processwire.com/modules/snippets/ Snippets is a tool for injecting front-end code snippets (HTML/JS/CSS) into page content. The way it works is that you create a snippet — say, a Google Analytics tag — and then choose... which element it should be tied to (there are some pre-populated choices and custom regex option), whether it should be placed before/after said element or replace it entirely, and which pages the snippet should apply to. The "apply to" option also has some ready to use options (such as "all pages" and "all non-admin pages") or you can select specific pages... or use a selector. Snippets are regular markup, with the exception that you can use values from current page (behind the scenes the module makes use of wirePopulateStringTags()). Available hooks: Snippets::isApplicable, which receives the snippet object and current Page object as arguments and returns a boolean (true/false). Snippets::applySnippet, which receives the snippet object, page content (string), variables (an object derived from WireData), and an array of options for wirePopulateStringTags() as arguments and returns the modified page content string. That's just about it. It's a pretty simple module, but perhaps someone will find this useful ?

Create a new php file inside template folder (or a subdirectory of it, ex. "inc") and paste your html portion you want to include in all the other templates, save it. Then, in all the templates, where you want that portion to appear just: <?php include('path/to/partial.php'); ?> // replace the path with yours.

In your config.php $config->prependTemplateFile = '_init.php';

I think Roland's excellent Admin on Steroids module can help you. There is an option to display the template of pages along with the options button in the tree menu. Look for this option and turn it on; Then you should be shown the template as you hover over the items in the page tree. Here's the correct template (client_index) being shown for a page on my local site; Hope that helps!

I'm pretty sure there is a simple way to configure PW to add new pages to the top of the list of already existing pages instead of the bottom - I simply can't find how and where to change the default setting. Thank you for your help!

True, but not applicable to usage of ProcessWire itself unless something's changed ?.

You can define the sort settings for children in the parent's settings family tab. There you can select "created" and "reverse sort order"

Hello @cabrooney, repeater items have their own system template: You should be able to find them and sort them like this: $zeit_start = strtotime("2021-12-01 00:00:00"); $zeit_end = strtotime("2021-12-31 00:00:00"); $terminliste = $pages->find("template=repeater_termin_repeater, termin_datum>=$zeit_start , termin_datum<=$zeit_end, sort=termin_datum"); Maybe you have to add "include=all" too, if the selector doesn't find anything while you are logged-out. I am not sure if that is necessary. Regards, Andreas

It would be pretty complex to create settings for that in the module config on a per-field basis and I think it might be too much of an edge case to implement in the module directly so I think hooking would be your best bet on this. Using `addHookAfter();` is the way to go. Just remember to test the output of `___executeData()` as it returns different types of data depending on the request, see each case in the switch statement in the `___executeData()` method. Here's some quick info that might help you get up to speed more quickly. All of the return values from `___executeData()` have the same data structure for predictability when used. At the very least each return value has `data` and `httpStatus` properties/values. A good way to make sure you are dealing with a translation is to decode the JSON (we'll say it's assigned to $decodedResponse), and then look for `$decodedResponse->data->translations;`. If the `translations` property exists in `data` then you know it's a translation. You would want to append your string to `$decodedResponse->data->translations[0]->text;`, encode `$decodedResponse` again, then return the modified JSON.. I'm not sure how you would be able to detect what field has been translated though because the return data from `___executeData()` doesn't contain any field name so your hook would append to all multi-language fields. Let me know if you can't find a workaround for this and I'll see if I can help. Dunno if that is what you were looking for but hope it helps!

This is the first time that I'm going to post anything under the showcase forum, although I have a few ProcessWire powered websites under my belt. This one is special because I think the use case is somewhat unique. Caltex Loyalty Club - initial the situation Caltex Loyalty Club is a customer loyalty and rewards program of Caltex Palawan aimed to provide exciting promos and incentives their customers' continuous patronage. Caltex Palawan originally bought their system from a large software company that also provides card-based solutions. The previous system consist of the following: two high-end Dell servers that are located in two separate Caltex' offices traditional EFTPOS devices for reading loyalty cards MIfare RFID cards as loyalty cards Running within one of the Dell servers was a crude and barely usable loyalty/rewards manager application that runs the whole thing. Here's what I mean: You're free to imagine what the rest of the application looks like. The other dell server acts as a VPN server through which all the EFTPOS devices and the application server connect to. To cut the long story short, this setup was running smoothly for a total of 3 weeks before problems started popping up, mostly because VPN server did not have a static IP address and the EFTPOS devices could not connect. The developers refused to provide service to the system because Caltex Palawan does not want to shoulder the travel and boarding expenses of the developers (since it was just working 3 weeks). We were called in at this point (we being a local tech solutions provider in Puerto Princesa), and we made the VPN server work, but other problems soon surfaced. The whole system was barely working for about 3 years when they finally decided they were fed up with the customer complaints they keep getting everyday. Our Solution We studied the existing system for quite some time to examine where the problems we're coming from. The most obvious one we found was that because the servers were located inside Caltex Palawan's offices, the servers were prone to downtimes caused by power outages and internet connectivity problems. It was obvious that the better way would be a web-based solution that would always be online. We also wanted to replace the bulky and outdated EFTPOS devices with android based NFC device that are more portable, and easier to work with. We retained the cards that originally came with the system since there are thousands left unused, but eventually replaced them with NTAG stickers, and newer cards. To sum it up: A web-based application to manage the loyalty / rewards system Android based NFC device to read the loyalty cards NTAG stickers to act as loyalty cards ProcessWire to the Rescue Having used ProcessWire before, it was our best choice, after considering using Laravel, and other frameworks, because of ProcessWire's key strengths: all custom fields - no unnecessary bloat powerful api scalability Although this straight up looks like it's been lifted from processwire.com's front page, but this really is the case, and these are all we need from a web-application framework to do almost anything! All custom fields Since we are working with a unique dataset, it's impossible for us to find anything out there that would have anything even remotely close to what we need. In the beginning we were planning to use custom database tables that we would deploy alongside ProcessWire. I even posted one time in the forum, asking if there's any way to integrate an ORM library with ProcessWire, and the answer I got was that it would be redundant, and almost surely unnecessary. And this turned out exactly the case! When we designed our database (using ERDs), we we're delighted at how closely we were able to replicate our relational design using templates, fields, and pages. This is mainly due to FieldtypePage. We were able to create meaningful relationships within our templates. We ended up with ~60 templates and ~70 fields. Powerful API About 70% of our code are API calls. The rest are just control structures and simple computations. That's how powerful the ProcessWire API is. So powerful that we did not even need to write a single sql query to complete the whole project. We needed to handle user login, API has it. Session handling, API has it. Selecting and manipulating huge amount of interrelated data, the API has it! Scalability At the onset of the project, the existing CLC program already has some 20 thousand members with hundreds of thousands of transactions. Right now, our current system has around 500,000 pages and counting and were not experiencing any slowdown. How we used ProcessWire The first thing that we decided that our client would not be able to see the processwire admin page. We wanted to present them with a simplified UI that does not present them with anything they don't need. We created a whole frontend UI for the client to use. We had custom forms for all the pages that they can create, and all the actions that they can do. We, on the otherhand, use the admin backend thoroughly in continuously developing, and supporting the system. What the clients see vs what we see: Our setup ProcessWire 2.8 running on a LEMP stack DigitalOcean droplet AjentiV VPS manager Modules we used We used a very minimal amount of modules for the project: ImportPagesCSV - to import the data migrated from the old system FieldtypeDecimal - for all our decimal values Modified RestHelper - from clsource for all the communication between ProcessWire and our android POS app Modified PagesSum from esrch ProcessSelectorTest - for quickly checking some selections Things we had to do on our own Frontend user login Frontend password recovery Fine-grained permission handling for users Cron jobs for scheduled tasks. The rest are API calls, and business logic. The Result Our Caltex Loyalty Club web application is now running on its sixth month without so much as a hiccup! Compared to the previous system that was averaging 200 transactions per day, we are now getting 800 and it's growing. We are running 10 campaigns and promos simultaneously across 18 Caltex Stations all over Palawan, with 30 android NFC terminals communicating to a single ProcessWire installation. We are very happy with ProcessWire in terms of performance, ease of use, and most importantly it's simple and yet very powerful functionality as a web-application framework even though it doesn't primarily market itself as one. PS. Also one of the best things we experienced while doing this project is the awesome, unparalleled community support. Throughout the project, although we had a lot of moments when we just couldn't figure out what to do, never once did we have to ask a question in the forum. A quick search here and there, and someone already helped someone else that faced the same problem we were having. It's almost as if people are being paid to diligently answer all the questions! We most of the time just had to like an answer that was already there! Screenshots and photos Android POS terminals and CSR training

I implemented a similar thing a while ago and ended up with the code below. I think it was pieced together base on some previous code we had lying around at the company, and I'm not sure why the distance value is so precise at 8.047. It's not a perfect circular distance either, but it seems to work for what was needed at the time. // $lat and $lng should be float values of the location to search $distance = 8.047; //in km $radius = 6371; // earth's radius in km = ~6371 // latitude boundaries $maxlat = $lat + rad2deg($distance / $radius); $minlat = $lat - rad2deg($distance / $radius); // longitude boundaries (longitude gets smaller when latitude increases) $maxlng = $lng + rad2deg($distance / $radius / cos(deg2rad($lat))); $minlng = $lng - rad2deg($distance / $radius / cos(deg2rad($lat))); $query = "coords.lat>=$minlat, coords.lat<=$maxlat, coords.lng>=$minlng, coords.lng<=$maxlng"; In that code, 'coords' is the mapmarker field.
