Nice, also wanted to say I'd be happy if I can make it and it's depends on money and family. Need to maybe sell some modules

Ok think it was only me being confused as you have 100 instead of 1.0.0 I'm sure I've seen 001 somewhere too. I always wondered but never bothered. I think all yours are correct, but here you go. class PagePathHistory extends WireData implements Module { public static function getModuleInfo() { return array( 'title' => 'Page Path History', 'version' => 001, 'summary' => "Keeps track of past URLs where pages have lived and automatically redirects (301 permament) to the new location whenever the past URL is accessed. BETA TEST ONLY.", 'href' => 'http://processwire.com', 'singular' => true, 'autoload' => true, ); }

No need to really learn OOP to make PW modules. What knowledge do you think you lack? As with everything, start simple learn from the big ones. Look at how modules in core or third party are done, look at HelloWorld.module. Basic modules mostly only require 1 file and it's more about what type it should be and how it's done in PW. Learning OOP will help you only understanding the backgrounds. Not saying it's not good, but maybe just start and see where you get stuck, then come here and ask. You might even figure it out on yourself, but count on the community to guide you. I mentioned I always have had problems understanding OOP and read about it for years (java, actionscript, js etc), I'm still bad in wrapping my mind around it and build something from scratch (even still now), but just starting to do something always helped me a lot. And not surprisingly PW lead me to understand even more as before while doing some fairly advanced modules I did not think was possible. The wonderful thing is learning PW will help you elsewhere too. The year using PW I learned more than the previous 5 years!

Thanks Diogo, I think it dawns on me. So I have to write 010 or just 8. Got it. That has to be the most complex thing about modules in PW then. But why this method to write it in octal form? Is that common?

Yeah so I'm utterly confused, can someone enlighten me? Ryan? I want to be able to write 008 version! Wait, is it supposed to only go from 0-8? And why you're telling you don't know why and don't know octals? Maybe I'm wrong but I would expect you know about that? *scratches head* Edit: I have no experience in proper versioning so forgive me my bothering, I'm might missunderstand this completely? Why is it using octals and the creator of it says he doesn't know? Sorry Ryan!

Thanks Martijn! Yes there's many high quality modules as also exists in other frameworks or CMS' and I also think it depends a lot on the system and community. Yeah the simplicity and flexibility in PW is astounding and almost cries out "EXTEND ME!". The fact that it is a framework that is so well designed and using that foundation, the CMS as such is built using it makes it very versatile and logik. But the best part is that it is built modular using different types of modules and mini systems (process, fieldtypes, inputfields, js modules ...) and in the exact same way you can extend it and build modules that work exactly the same! You can take almost any module out from the wire/modules/ and move it to the site/modules/ folder modify it to your needs and install it. To go even further it uses same API as you use (or can use) in templates, the transition is almost seamless. So you can also look at core code and modules as reference and example. I'm not the very advanced php programmer and always got my problems with OOP, but after digging into PW after seeing how modules are done it took me no time to get into it and already built 15 modules in 1 year, AND IT WAS FUN! I'm the guy in love of least resistance and having fun . After using MODX 1-2 years, all I got was a half backed test module that had no purpose but was damn hard to setup, but also didn't attract me as much as PW did. Same goes for other systems that seem like having extra hard layer that's designed for modules, but too complicated to be fun, or like another system inside a system. So even if may not perfect in all regards PW is a great foundation that will show and have impact on other systems. MODX already is announcing a light weight distribution with 3.0, and I'm proud modern systems like PW played a role in it.

Well I was mixing something, the octal was from the permissions. However, you really don't know why the versioning number in modules is bugged? Language Localized URl module has 008, but it show 0.0.0. Also 009 does. If entering 100 it works, or 007 too.

Just made an update with some small improvements. Added also link to each module for its page on http://modules.processwire.com. I have now also added the module to the modules directory http://modules.processwire.com/modules/modules-manager/ so it can now also be updated using the Modules Manager. I just tried and it's possible so it updates itself!

I just hit "refresh" in the admin and there it shows the updated version! So cool

Thanks, can you clarify my last question from the previous post?

I just commited an update with some things corrected and improved. Also changed install parent to "Setup". Not necessary now, but also added apikey and remoteurl config. Thanks Nik for the feedback. I changed the function to private and not static, so it should be ok. I haven't really tested it before, but should work now and throw some infos that if the dirs are not writeable. Thanks Ryan, very helpful infos. I removed the chmod 0777 as it was to test. And I use now wireMkdir. Good to know. Also corrected the deinstall typo! Point #5. Good point. I'll try to use the array keys for name => title. Will let it for now. As for the work on it and future. I'm pretty sure at some point I would love to get any help (any time), I would love someone with more experience in all those advanced stuff could help. Especially if it should be a core implementation once, I think you would be the person #1 to help and take it over. But I also think there's so much about it that can or should be done my head already explodes.

Sorry, thanks for mention it, yeah it's under module page. I'll update so no confusion, lol I forgot to change the id. Am working on some things at the moment and coming back later. Thanks for the feedback so far.

I noticed something also only while working on the Modules Manager module Ryan, what's about the module version in code (000)? Is it also valid to write 1.0 or 1.0.1 in getModuleInfo array? I noticed some people (diogo, nico) use this to write the version and I think it's wrong. Considering this it is a little annoying that one have to insert it manually and in two different formatting. On the module directory you enter 1.0.0 in the module code 100. Wouldn't it be better to make it consistent? Also to understand it in general, why does 008 not work and return 0 or 0.0.0 ? I figure it is because it's octal? But why?

Just a simple Newsletter-Tool of a co-worker iframed.

Thanks Pete. I'm not sure this should replace the PW module page, I see it more as a nice extension to it. So the current modules page is nice for installing and have a overview of ALL modules and still allow for manual downloading and installing. The modules manager is just for downloading and seeing what modules are available or already installed and to update them. Many things are still unconsidered and untested (only locally), but figured it would be a nice practice to see how far it can get with given new module directory.

Modules Manager for ProcessWire2.+ Module Manager enables you to browse the modules directory on modules.processwire.com, download, install or update them. Requires the JqueryDataTables module to be installed before you can install Modules Manager. "allow_url_fopen" to be enabled in your php.ini. "openssl" PHP extension needs to be installed on your server. PHP to have read/write access to the /site/modules/ directory For further informations contact the readme seen on modules directory or github. Modules Directory: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/modules-manager/ Github Project: https://github.com/s.../ModulesManager

Awesome Ryan! Thanks, I'll test out a little and report back if any issues arises.

No I mean just a feed one can read from.

Ryan would it be possible to have a webservice for all modules listed to be able to recieve a json or xml with some or all of the infos/links/version etc. This way I could get a modules manager running I'm trying to do.

Then I would really recommend Submline Text 2 as it's minimal and unlike the other big cluttered IDE's and faster than light, fullscreen, distraction free edition! VIM keys are no problem. I choose sublime because of all of this.

It seems to work when searching for "Site+Map" or "Site%2BMap".

Seems normal regarding "about" because it's a stopword and has been asked already here. Not sure about "site map" using ~ .

It happened for me once I pressed enter before entering all. It throwed validation errors and after filling in and hit submit it showed a 404, so I had to enter all again, but so far 14 modules have been successful.

would be nice to have a link to the author on "By soma" would be nice to have a category "Admin Helper" or something like it. I'll continue to add all my modules. Edit: Also some number to see how many!
