PAGEGRID 2 is out now! ? The new version contains several bug fixes and adds exciting new features. It's also more flexible and easier to use. Check out the new website ? and click the edit button ✏️ to see for yourself. With this update, PAGEGRID becomes a very flexible no-code editor that still gives developers the power and control they need. Easily modify existing block templates or create your own with your favorite code editor and ProcessWire's powerful API. Use PAGEGRID to build whole websites, connect PAGEGRID to regular ProcessWire templates/pages or use PAGEGRID only as a "body" field. PAGEGRID 2 uses as many native features from ProcessWire as possible (everything is a page). NEW Reusable Symbols Turn nav bars, footers, or any combination of items into symbols that you can reuse wherever you need them. (Symbols are pages) Animations Add powerful multi-step CSS animations with a few clicks. Use interactions like scroll, mouseover, inview, loading or click to trigger them. Reuse them throughout your website. (Animations are pages) Blueprints Blueprints can be used to automatically populate empty pages with a predefined layout. They are useful if you want website editors to start from a base design when they create new pages. (Blueprints are pages) DOM Navigator The dom navigator makes it possible to select any markup on the page through PAGEGRID's style panel. It gives you full control over your site's appearance. Style regular templates Make CSS edits to any template inside processwire just by adding the PAGEGRID field to it (works with any markup). VW and VH units Almost all style inputs now support PX, %, VH and WV units. Updated Google Fonts The fonts list has been updated to include the latest fonts and material icons. Datalist Block (PageGridBlocks module) The new datalist block renders a link list of pages that you can define. It can render a title, thumbnail, video, or text per page. This can be useful for rendering a grid of your latest portfolio projects, news, or a list of articles. iFrame Block (PageGridBlocks module) The new iFrame block uses layziframe to layziload any iFrame when you click a placeholder. You can upload a custom placeholder or, for YouTube/Vimeo, the placeholder can be loaded automatically and saved to the database (to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation). This is great for embedding external services such as YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, Soundcloud, or others to your site. –––––––––––––––––––––––––– How to update from version 1: Please make sure you run the latest ProcessWire version before updating. I would also recommend to make a database backup for existsing websites before the update (just to be save). Then simply update the FieldtypePageGrid and PageGridBlocks modules.

This seems to be related to the fact, that the $pages->find('') call is inside a inputfield module function. Calling it from a template file seems to return all grandchildren even without the rebuildAll() call.

@monollonom I will only use it in cases, where $pages->find('') is not working as expected. In my case it would not return any pages with a deeper nesting then 5 levels (tested on the latest PW master version 3.0.227). I never run into this issue before so there might be something else going on, or I never had a nested structure that was this deep. Will also test with a new install when I have some time.. If the issue persists, I might open an issue on Github.

@monollonom Nice! If I call $myParentPage->parents()->rebuildAll() before $myParentPage->find('') This seems to fix the issue. Thanks! The performance seems to be great so far with about a 70-100 pages. Before I was using a recursion function like this as a workaround that would call itself for a number of times. Will investigate further wich version is more performant.

Hey folks, it seem that after a certain level of nesting $pages->find('') is not returning all grandchildren. This seems to be a bug or maybe it is intentional? Is there another way of getting all the pages no matter how deep they are nested with a selector?

@adrian Sorry I totally forgot about this ? I can live with it. Since it only happens sometimes and only locally, it's fine. Thanks for your time!

@adrian no worries. Thanks for taking a look. I made some changes already to my local enviroment (updating php and valet) and the error above seems to have changed. Strangely it was only happening once in a while, and not on all the pages. But for some of my local websites I still get errors on the frontend and tracy is not loading (only on some pages): TypeError: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, bool given in /Users/jploch/Sites/pgrid-website/dist/site/modules/TracyDebugger/tracy-2.9.x/src/Tracy/Bar/assets/loader.phtml:14 Stack trace: #0 /Users/jploch/Sites/pgrid-website/dist/site/modules/TracyDebugger/tracy-2.9.x/src/Tracy/Bar/assets/loader.phtml(14): strpos(false, '?') #1 /Users/jploch/Sites/pgrid-website/dist/site/assets/cache/FileCompiler/site/modules/TracyDebugger/tracy-2.9.x/src/Tracy/Bar/Bar.php(109): require('/Users/jploch/S...') #2 /Users/jploch/Sites/pgrid-website/dist/site/modules/TracyDebugger/tracy-2.9.x/src/Tracy/Debugger/DevelopmentStrategy.php(139): Tracy\Bar->render(Object(Tracy\DeferredContent)) #3 /Users/jploch/Sites/pgrid-website/dist/site/assets/cache/FileCompiler/site/modules/TracyDebugger/tracy-2.9.x/src/Tracy/Debugger/Debugger.php(321): Tracy\DevelopmentStrategy->renderBar() #4 [internal function]: Tracy\Debugger::shutdownHandler() #5 {main} (stored in /Users/jploch/Sites/pgrid-website/dist/site/assets/logs/tracy/exception--2023-03-19--14-23--52479f289e.html) I did a "var_dump(parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']));" on those pages on the frontend, it returns this: array(1) { ["path"]=> string(0) "" } array(1) { ["path"]=> string(0) "" } On the pages that work (same installation and setup), I get this response for the var_dump: array(1) { ["path"]=> string(4) "ice/" } array(1) { ["path"]=> string(4) "ice/" }

When running tracy in my local development environment (node + laravel valet), I get the following error on my frontend: Notice: Undefined index: path in /Users/jploch/Sites/pgrid-dev/dist/site/assets/cache/FileCompiler/site/modules/TracyDebugger/TracyDebugger.module.php on line 2784 This happens with the master as well as the dev version of PW.

@adrian I also noticed some problems with the sidebar. Would be nice to have a working sticky header option in the core theme without the sidebar, and maybe make the tree available in the first level like AdminThemeCanvas is doing without the need of extra modules.

@Robin S Thanks for pointing that out. While I like the sticky header, I am not a fan of the sidebar. Is there an option where you can just make the header fixed? Also there seems to be some problems with this setting if you reload the page.

@tires Glad you like it! While I prever this admin theme over the default one. I think the default Uikit theme actually looks fine. But there is more to it than just aesthetics. For me, the main advantage is the fixed navigation with direct access to the tree navigation. It's just so much faster to navigate in the backend. It would be nice if the core theme had an option for fixed navigation.

Would be nice to update the Fontawesome icons in PW core, so they can be used for labels in the backend. The current version 4 is quite old and has a very limit set of icons. Version 6 also has a free version with more icons. The implementation seems to be very similar, so it should be easy to implement. The icons can be downloaded here.

Checkout the new PAGEGRID online demo ? Now I'm working on a couple of video tutorials to highlight some use cases and features. I also added a changelog to the first post so you can stay up to date. As I use PAGEGRID for some of my own projects, I'll be updating the module to meet my needs. But I'm also interested in your feedback. What features would you like to see in PAGEGRID?

@eydun what browser are you using? It's a mp4 file and should work on most browsers. EDIT: The forum seems to have problems with mp4 files. I added it to youtube instead..

There was a bug when editing the slider block (from PageGridBlocks module) in modal window. This is now fixed. Please try the lates version of "FieldtypePageGrid". You can add items to the slider from the children tab. Here I am adding an image but you can add every allowed template (configurable via permissions): Note: this block uses glide.js, a small and flexible vanilla JavaScript slider and carousel.

@Gideon So You are right there was a bug with the modal editing. This is now fixed. Please try the lates version of "FieldtypePageGrid".

@nabo Sorry for the trouble. I was able to reproduce the error (installation was working locally but not on my production server). This should now be fixed. Please update the module. For those who have problems with the installation of the module, please make sure that you update to the latest version

My new module PAGEGRID can be a good alternative to website builders like Pinegrow or Webflow. This way you don't have to convert your design to ProcessWire templates and can design and edit pages directly in the backend.

@gebeer Every block gets wrapped by an element. The default is a "<div>", but the wrapping element can be changed to something else than div. See here. You can even let users change the element tag in the Style Panel. (Note: The markup inside the wrapping element is based on the template file the developer created in the "site/templates/blocks" folder). For me using "<div>" as an element for layout/design seems semantically fine. Divs are defined to not convey any meaning (i.e. they don't alter the "structure" of the document). Actually a lot of (CSS) frameworks and websites are build like this. Having those HTML5 tags like article, section, nav, etc. inside divs. But yes you can change it ?

Forum – Whenever you get stuck, don't hesitate to reach out for questions and support. Why I build it ProcessWire is super flexible in itself and lets me build whatever I want. But building a custom website can be a lot of work. For some projects, I've ended up using a lot of templates and fields. To make my pages more flexible, I sometimes build my own little page builder based on the RepeaterMatrix or PageTable module. While these page builders were great for the specific site I was building them for, they were never flexible enough to be used for new projects, so I ended up customizing them frequently. The more complex they became, the harder it became to use them for my clients. After playing around with some WYSIWYG page builder tools, I realized that while they can save me a lot of time, they can also be very limiting or have expensive subscriptions and somehow tie you to their ecosystem. So I decided to build my own page builder based on the most flexible CMS I knew. Concept This fieldtype Renders block templates and adds drag and drop functionality in admin, as well as enable inline editing for text, and file fields. It also let's you manipulate CSS in a visual way to design fully responsive websites (or parts of them) without writing code. The fieldtype comes with an optional style panel to manipulate CSS properties directly on the page. You can customize the panel or disable it completely from the module settings (and just use a CSS file that you include in your template). The data to style the items is stored directly on the item using PW's meta data (no extra fields are created). Don't want to give your client all that power? Use ProcessWire’s powerful permission system to control what your clients can edit. You can then also grant access individually to the style panel, resize or drag functionality using ProcessWire's build in permission system. Features Blocks are just pages Blocks are defined by native PW templates and fields Manipulate CSS grid or flexbox based layouts in a visual way to design fully responsive websites (or parts of them) Encapsulated frontend code (PAGEGRID renders the template of your frontend inside an iframe in the backend) Design and editing features can be disabled for certain roles (using ProcessWire's build in permission system) Inline editing of text, textarea, TinyMCE (supports latest version), ckeditor and file fields Simply drag and resize to manipulate grid items directly inside the backend Manipulate grid columns and rows directly on the page (use any number of columns you want) All style manipulations are saved as JSON and used to generate dynamic styles that you render in your main template (no inline styles) Nested groups/grids (child pages of nested blocks are created under group parent) The style panel supports adding custom classes and assigning styles to them. These classes can be used globally on all pages (a css class is also a page) The style panel supports selecting html tags to style tags globally across the whole site Global blocks work with page reference field (changes on one page, changes all blocks on all pages) Manual and auto placement of grid items blocks and nested blocks can be cloned Redo/undo and copy/paste shortcuts Editing block items in modal sidebar immediately updates frontend (Ajax Save). Define custom icons for your blocks via native template settings (template -> advanced -> icon) Automatic page save (Changes are getting saved via ajax, no need to click the save button) NEW: Option to automatically load lazysizes lazyloader (V 0.1.0) Changelog V 0.1.0: Feature: Option to automatically load lazysizes lazyloader (Module Settings > Plugins). V 0.1.5: Fixed bug: Tabs not working when editing items via modal panel. V 0.1.6: Fixed bug: Setting height in VH unit was not working. V 0.1.7: Feature: Option to hide save button (and use automatic ajax save ) if there are no other fields than PAGEGRID on the content tab (Module Settings > Interface). V 0.2.0: Fixed bug: Custom block wrapper element <p> was not working with inline editor. V 0.2.0: Fixed bug: Inline editor would sometimes not save after clicking cancel and then edit item again. V 0.2.0: Feature: Now it's possible to add classes to elements inside richt text fields via style panel. V 0.2.0: Fixed bug: Inline editor was not working after first item was added to the page (needed reloading the page). V 0.2.1: Feature: Updated PageGridBlocks Module: Using TinyMCE as the default editor. V 0.2.1: Feature: Updated PageGridBlocks Module: Group/container wrapper element can now be changed to <div>, <section>, <article>, <header>, <footer>, <nav>. Thanks to everyone who helped me improve my coding skills and for the support of this great community! Special thanks to @diogo for the valuable feedback and @ryan for this great CMS and his support for the PageFrontEdit module!
