You're absolutely right. I know where you're going with this. 😄 Is it breaking? I guess not by definition. It now requires PHP>=8.0, ProcessWire>=3.0.0. So you can't update it on older install, and it's not changing any features or API calls, so it still works with same code when you update. v2.0 would mean it has new features or breaking API changes. This is just a "maintenance" update.

I'm using github copilot now since 6 months to do all sort of testing and playing around with various projects. It offers a lot of the different agents, but it's mainly for use with IDE like VS code. I like it a lot and am always surprized at it's capability. Claude is able to help me A LOT updating a very old big online shop to the latest PW (currently local dev only) It has access to powershell to do db stuff and it understood PW very well without much help or special skills. Tho it's great to have it specialize for PW for sure. So I can't use Claude models and some of the others with my github copilot API endpoint with AgentTools, but it allows me to use gpt-4.1 and gpt-4o for free which is cool for simple stuff like engineering and migrations. I'm testing it locally currently. I now also made an account at Antropic to use that as well in case I need it. I have a local docker environment with php, mysql and apache running in a container. Claude had to adapt the pw-at.sh script quite a bit to make it work. I have no clue about this stuff, but it's working now. Thanks very much for the AgentTools module.

Oh I didn't see that. I was gone for 7 years 😄 Thanks for the heads up.

https://processwire.com/blog/posts/multi-instance-pw3/ Not 100% sure it really matters tho you should be fine with global wire(). But Multiinstance PW installation could be an issue in some edge cases with modules that save data. Tho can't really tell for sure in detail. Maybe @ryan would have some more insight.

You posted this thuesday? Not sure what you mean been a while. Not sure about the innoDB, but I don't think it matters unless for some index stuff? Surely not related to your problem I guess. Even tho I don't know what problems you mean.

Maybe some core files are missing on the server? It can happen that uploading a complete upload to a new server misses a file or something.

I made a little update to 1.3.7, bringing it to the current PHP8+ and PW3+ standards. Changes in 1.3.7 (2026-04-22) Updated for ProcessWire 3.x and PHP 8.x compatibility Declared class properties explicitly to fix PHP 8.2 dynamic property deprecation Fixed nullable type hints on render() signature (?array, ?Page) required since PHP 8.0 Replaced global wire() calls with $this->wire() for correct PW3 multi-instance scoping Replaced new PageArray() with $this->wire(new PageArray()) for proper instance binding Replaced object identity comparisons (===) with ID-based comparisons (->id ===) for $is_current and $is_root Replaced loose null comparisons (!= null) with strict (!== null) throughout Fixed misleading single-line if/else in xtemplates block with proper braces Removed unused $v_unformatted variable in parsePlaceholders() Replaced $this->fields / $this->users magic access with $this->wire('fields') / $this->wire('users') Updated getModuleInfo(): added icon, requires (PHP>=8.0, ProcessWire>=3.0.0), updated href to https Bumped version from 1.3.6 to 1.3.7 I only tested it on a site I'm currently working on, and it still works the same. But if you encounter any issues please let me know.

There's a weird message on that module page? Anybody noticed? https://processwire.com/modules/template-preview-images/

Thanks! Yeah I had deleted my first account after I got 100k followers... don't ask why. Then on my second account @somartist2 I tried to leave 2-3 times but then reactivated the account. And finally I did it. I'm on bluesky now, and still on Instagram and other platforms. No I didn't realize, but yeah I was very active for many years answering and helping many. It's great to hear tho. 🙂 Oh @ryan, thanks for the warm welcome back. Yeah I went on a long journey, glad you been following me. Great to see you're still running this thing haha. And now even using llm's! Yeah OMG so many names that I almost forgot about. I'm an old man now hehe.

Sooo, I'm still alive and in August, I will start on a new job and project that probably brings me back to work with the cool and great Processwire. :D 7 years ago I was forced to change job and ended in a cool new place doing front-end dev not using PW anymore. So unfortunately I didn't really use or follow PW in that time except once a year doing something tiny bits on the handful of websites I am responsible for. I'm sorry if I just disappeared "over night" and maybe left some things behind I was doing for PW, and didn't spend time looking out for them. The reason is, I also was very frustrated with a lot of things with the job and life at that time and 2019 was also when I started painting again digitally, as maybe some of you know. I went full hyper focus mode, everyday almost for 2-3 years in my spare time and since then slowed down. I was able to make a small career with it, and made a lot of new connections and experiences which was awesome. I will continue to work on making art and illustrations as I have a lot of new freedom with the new job too combine a lot of my skills. Finally I can work from home full time. A little dream come true. Thanks for still being here and keeping this small but awesome community alive! I have to catch up now! :D Cheers Soma

The dev2 I made to the master couple months ago. So the new commit is just a minor addition to the url parser. I think I had difficulties with making the dev2 to master and I couldn't delete the dev2 branch. ?

I just wanted to mention. I found a new job as a front-end dev at https://backslash.ch. Since 2 months there already and enjoy it. We work with in-house CMS specially targeted to governments. So a lot less PW for me in the future, but I'll use it as my tool for private projects.

Glad you found it yourself. What's also possible is to just add a page-{name} or page-{id} to the item template and use them to style.

I have a config-dev.php for dev server or local setup. and the "root" stays the same just the domains are different.

I don't have cats ? Yes that's true. I know the "redirect if domain name is found in url" would need even a much more sophisticated parsing method, but it gets too complicated for my brain. I think having random strings as root name would be a much easier solution.

Yes the problem is most likely that both sites share the same names in it. abelt.test is in both setups and even in the root name. Just rename the root to something else more unique would do the trick. It's not something you would see anyway. "abelt.test" => array( // domain name is used to map to root page "root" => "abelt", // page name for the root page "http404" => 1031 ), "alexander-abelt.test" => array( // funktioniert nicht mit /en/ auf Home "root" => "alexander", "http404" => 1029 ),

Ah reading againg. Ah reading again, I'm not 100% sure why this happens in your case. (but most likely what i said anyway :)) What is the setup config? And what Module version?

I think this can happen if your multisite root page name has also the domain name in it. You should avoid that. Just rename it to something else My guess is that this comes from the fact you have domain.com and www.domain.com. You want to avoid that, cause the script isn't clever enough to know which is which. In any case you want to avoid having two domains setup for the same site. You should redirect your www to non www or the other way around.

Then if $wire works for the hook $wire inside the funtion doesn't work, need to use wire(). And yes the lock file is most likely the problem cause of using $wire inside your function.

$wire is not available in site/init.php .... You need to use wire().

Have you debug mode on? I think $wire is not available in site/init.php.

I think you looking for this https://processwire.com/api/ref/inputfield/get-errors/ ?

Yeah good point. The way to do it is simple. If javascript is deferred, add the classes like uk-grid etc and not just the data attribute. https://getuikit.com/docs/grid#usage

Yeah that's not anymore. There's a parser on page render now.

Hello guys Though times. Hope this is ok to post here. I'm currently looking for a new job here in Switzerland. I have over 20 years of experience in web development. I'm specialised in front-end HTML5, CSS, JS and backend (PW of course). I also have strong visual design skills. If anyone has a tip or knows a good address, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any help you could provide. Soma
