Well hello, today is the day I would like to introduce Flowti, my biggest Project I have worked on for the last 2 1/2 Years and the reason I am developing Symprowire, too. So, what is it all about you may ask. Flowti is my daily driver to Plan, Document and Execute Projects Flowti is my tool to work on concepts and ideas Flowti is my tool to present Work Flowti is my tool to organize and support Product Management Work Flowti is my digitalization Framework To give you a glimpse about what Flowti is already capable of I attached some screenshots for you to study ? To make this one short, I plan to fully Open Source Flowti this year after Symprowire reaches v1.0 and will use this post as a way to show progress. Cheers, Luis10 points

ProcessWire 3.0.193 resolves 6 issues, makes improvements to the template and module editors, adds new hooks, adds improvements the $pages->find() findRaw method, and more. We covered some of these updates in last week's post, so we'll focus on what's new this week. First off we have a new advanced mode feature that lets you edit the raw configuration data for a module. This can be useful for various reasons, especially for module developers. If you have $config->advanced = true; in your /site/config.php file, you'll see a new option on your module information screen that enables you to directly edit the raw JSON configuration data for the module. There's also an option that lets you view the raw JSON module information data. Unlike the configuration data, this isn't editable. That's because it comes from the module directly (overtime you do a Modules > Refresh) or is generated at runtime, so there's little point in editing it here. In my case, I've found these new tools helpful for clearing out old and/or irrelevant configuration data during module development. In some cases, having the ability to edit this data may help to identify or fix issues that previously would have been difficult to do without using the API. If there's interest, I may move this into a dedicated (non-core) module that also lets you directly edit field and template configuration data too. But for now the feature is in the core, but just requires advanced mode before it appears. A few new hooks were added this week: Fieldgroups::fieldRemoved($fieldgroup, $field) Called after a field has been removed from a fieldgroup/template. Fieldgroups::fieldAdded($fieldgroup, $field) Called after a new field has been added to a fieldgroup/template. Fieldgroups::renameReady($template, $oldName, $newName) Called before a fieldgroup is about to be renamed. Fieldgroups::renamed($template, $oldName, $newName) Called after a fieldgroup has been renamed. Templates::renameReady($template, $oldName, $newName) Called before a template is about to be renamed. Templates::renamed($template, $oldName, $newName) Called after a template has been renamed. Fields::renameReady($field, $oldName, $newName) Called before a field is about to be renamed. Fields::renamed($field, $oldName, $newName) Called after a field has been renamed. These accompany the existing addReady(), added(), deleteReady(), deleted(), cloneReady(), cloned(), saveReady() and saved() hooks available for fields, templates and fieldgroups. Last week a couple people asked about versioning and migration of stuff in PW (like fields, templates, modules, etc.) and if there were any plans to provide additional tools for that. For the projects I work on at least, this part of the development process consumes so little time that it doesn't warrant developing more stuff for it. But I understand others might find it useful, so for those that would, I'd rather keep the core lean and instead leave that to tools/modules built by experts like Bernhard and others around here. I think it's important that whoever develops and maintains such features also be the same one(s) that would use them. But if any kind of core updates would be helpful to developers looking to implement more features here, I'm on board. Whether that means adding more hooks to specific events (see above as examples), maintaining field/template/module data in files in addition to the current DB tables, or anything else that helps such modules, this is all possible and likely simple for us to support in the core. So just let me know what I can do to help. While not full-featured migration tools, we do have useful field, template and page export/import tools in the core already, and those will of course continue to be maintained and improved, and may be expanded to include modules too. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!6 points

Would you mind telling us a bit more about your workflow in regards to projects and their migration? This would be super interesting.6 points

Some of you might of used my previous U2F module for their two factor needs. Well I was recently informed that Chrome is dropping plain U2F support in favour of WebAuthn. So after a full day of debugging some cryptic errors I am proud to announce a WebAuthn module. This has some major improvements. For example you can now use on-device credentials like Windows Hello/Apple Touch ID. This means that even people without a Yubikey can benefit from modern two factor authentication. It also has much better cross platform support. For example NFC will now work on an iPhone. I do not recall the original U2F stuff working well on iPhones so yay? The is still the original issue that ProcessWire imposes with its Tfa class, That being it is a setup once and never edit again system so you can only add your on-device credentials for a single device because once saved you cant then edit your credentials on a second device. You also lack the options to revoke a single credential or add a new one. You have to wipe out the config and re-add your keys again. It sucks but realisticly if you need more than 3x credentials your almost defeating the point of Tfa I feel the need to also point out that this does not replace passwords. That is something WebAuthn can do a fully passwordless setup. But I think implementing that inside ProcessWire would be a huge challenge. It is frankly a form of magic that I was able to make WebAuthn work within the confides of ProcessWire's Tfa class. Github: https://github.com/adamxp12/TfaWebAuthn ProcessWire Modules: https://processwire.com/modules/tfa-web-authn/ I hope this module helps you guys out securing your ProcessWire websites If you have any issues just reply and I will do my best to help you out5 points

Yes, currently generating diagramms by code definition in the editor, but planning to let generate diagramms by parent-child relations in a future iteration. Its good for now and me but not that user-friendly ?2 points

The problem: Synchronizing fields and/or templates made on the dev server with the live server is cumbersome. At the same time, there is no version control of fields and templates, which some folks (including myself) see as a disadvantage of ProcessWire. A way to have version control to track changes and replicate automatically would be desirable. There is the template and fields export feature in ProcessWire which has said for ages that this is only a beta version, although I have used it many times without any problems. However, even with this method, it is very cumbersome to reconcile changes between dev and live. You have to remember which fields / templates you created and select them, then copy and paste them on the dev server. This is a manual, cumbersome and time consuming process. Existing solutions: For this reason, several solutions have been developed such as: Migrations by @LostKobrakai https://processwire.com/talk/topic/14603-rocksvn-brings-version-control-to-your-fields-templates/ ProcessWires Template's and field's export function https://processwire.com/modules/rock-migrations/ https://processwire.com/talk/topic/25307-oh-no-not-another-migration-module/ https://processwire.com/modules/auto-export-templates-and-fields/ Other systems like Laravel, Craft, Kirby and Statamic use configuration files (migrations, YAML) to manage fields / templates, which allow to create a state of fields / templates. Since the configuration is done in a file, you can of course manage it with git (or other vcs). By configuring in a file, it is also possible to automatically execute these migrations during a git push through different deploy pipelines like github actions, buddy, bitbucket pipelines and thus you have the desired state on the desired server. Where to go from here? In another post @bernhard showcased a prototype, that uses a YAML-file to create and manage fields / templates in ProcessWire. At the same time he showcased a YAML recorder which writes all changes that are made to templates and fields into a YAML file, which looks very promising. I think a combination of a recorder and a YAML config file would be a optimal solution, at least for me. What format to use for such a configuration file was and has also to be discussed: Update 30th September 2022: Until we might have a native method for migrations, I encourage you to checkout the great RockMigrations module. With the module you can have one or multiple migration files, that handle all the stuff mentioned above, like adding fields, adding templates, creating pages with content and setting roles. As the migrations are file-based they are also version-controllable. This makes it easy to work on a feature in a different branch which requires to have other fields/template than in the main branch. Now you can switch between branches and always have the required fields and templates. This is a huge time and workflow improvement. @bernhard steadily improves his module, and me and other contributors try to enhance it, or give feedback.1 point

Thanks @Guy Incognito I have merged your PR. I have switched to using SeoMaestro, but to be honest I am not particularly happy with either of these modules - both have their issues for my way of working / thinking. It will be interesting to see what RockSEO brings to the table.1 point

Hi all, Not sure if if everyone has jumped to SeoMaestro these days but I'm still fond of MarkupSeo and it's still live in many of our sites so I've made a few small but important tweaks based on real world usage. @adrian I've just made a pull request with these changes to your fixes branch in case others find these changes useful: Stopped canonical links from being able to inherit from parent pages: Inherited canonical links could cause problems with search engine indexing whereby you're inadvertently telling Google your new page is the same as another purely because you (or a client) missed the canonical field. So I think it is better for the default to be current page URL if the field is left blank rather than inherit the parent. Implemented handling of relative URLs in the canonical field: You can now use relative URLs in the canonical field for internal links. They will still render on the front end as SEO-friendly absolute URLs, but this way it is easier if you use different domains for testing or if you need to change the site domain.

@bernhard Thanks you very much, it works for new pages, for old i update status1021, status1022 fields to "1" directly to db and translation appears. ?1 point

Does it work if you place this hook in site/ready.php? <?php // set all languages active automatically $wire->addHookAfter('Pages::added', function($event) { $page = $event->arguments(0); foreach($this->wire->languages as $lang) { if($lang->isDefault()) continue; $page->set("status$lang", 1); } $page->save(); });1 point

Since you cannot get access to your developer and since it seems you will not be getting a replacement developer for this, I would suggest, albeit with caution/caveats, that you take over the current superuser account. This will mean changing the following: The current superuser password The current superuser email If needed, the current superuser username 1 and 2 are more important. 1, since you need to be able to log in and 2 since you want ProcessWire to send messages (when needed) to an email account you have access and control over. The above requires that you have access to the ProcessWire files. This can be either via FTP or CPanel. In any case, you need to be able to edit at least a template file. Please let me know. Please don't post your FTP/CPanel details here ?. At this point, we just need a yes or no response if you have access to files. By the way, if you'd rather discuss via PM, please feel free to message me here in the forums.1 point

@kongondo can you remind me on Monday and I'll get a forum set up? Not sure if we should call it Padloper Pre-Sales or something and have a pinned topic at the top saying for paid support to request access to the other forum or something like that?1 point

I'd be curious how the other tools with file based config manage changes over time. My biggest problem with file based config (over file based migration) is that it'll only give you the current state you want things to be in, but no indication of which state the system is coming from and how to actually make data already in the system(db) be migrated to the new expected state. I'm not aware of declarative systems being able to handle that, which to me severly limits usefulness. It might be great in the beginning of a project, where you can scrap existing data, but won't work at all once old data needs to be maintained going forward.1 point

Side note @ryan it would be nice if you could add relevant keywords to the title of new news or blog posts. This makes it easier to find information when you are searching for it weeks or months later ("weekly update 14.1." is not nearly as helpful as "weekly update find raw parents, sanitizer float" in a search result) +1 for better version control support. I've not built RockMigrations just for fun ?1 point

@ryan, thanks for this week's updates! @MoritzLost has sparked an interesting discussion about using PW with version control and he makes a comparison with Craft CMS. A couple of excerpts from his comments: Ryan, it would be great to get your voice in the discussion. We're at the beginning of the new year so what do you think about putting better compatibility with version control onto a roadmap for 2022?1 point

Basically something like this: image: atlassian/default-image:2 definitions: # Copy files and exclude the ones from .gitignore, # which includes logs and custom overrides out of version control. # Run latest migrations if existing. script: &deploy-script rsync --stats --human-readable --recursive --delete-after --no-perms --no-owner --no-group --exclude-from=$BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/.gitignore --exclude="bitbucket-pipelines.yml" $BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/* $SERVER_USER@$SERVER_ADDRESS:$APP_PATH; ssh $SERVER_USER@$SERVER_ADDRESS "php $APP_PATH/modules/Migrations/bin/migrate run"; pipelines: branches: main: - step: name: awesomewebsite.com script: - SERVER_USER=$USER - SERVER_ADDRESS=$SERVER - APP_PATH=$PATH - *deploy-script dev: - step: name: dev.awesomewebsite.com script: - SERVER_USER=$DEV_USER - SERVER_ADDRESS=$DEV_SERVER - APP_PATH=$DEV_PATH - *deploy-script So it's like a tad bit more fancy FTP upload lol1 point
