This week we have ProcessWire 3.0.229 on both the dev and master/main branches. At this moment, both branches are equally up-to-date. Though I've not yet added the 3.0.229 tag just yet, as it is Friday after all. 🙂 So I'll tag it this weekend or Monday. If you are already running the dev branch on version 3.0.228, then this version contains a few issue fixes and is worth the update. If you are running the previous master/main version 3.0.227 then this version has quite a few worthwhile fixes and I'd recommend upgrading, at least once we add the 3.0.229 tag. Here's a link to the current commit log. That's all for today, have a great weekend!

@Roych That's coming from the SystemNotifications module because it has the "Active automatic notification hooks > 404 page not found" option enabled in its module configuration. I would recommend uninstalling the SystemNotifications module (Modules > Wire > System), as it's not needed and adds some overhead to your admin. But if you find you do need it for something, then you could disable that 404 option in the module config. As for those 404s, those are very common and many sites get thousands of them a day. They aren't a cause for concern unless you are running a non-updated WordPress or something. But even without WP, they are a nuisance and consume server resources unnecessarily, so if you want to block them the ProDevTools Request Blocker module does a good job of it.

@elabx title!=Test|test seems to work okay in testing here. Though note that there's no reason for the OR condition there, unless you've manually converted your database collation to be case sensitive, which I don't think I've heard of anyone doing before. Other parts of your selector to look at would be the created_users_id!=41, since that would exclude all pages created by the original superuser. Also city_id|cities=11669 seems like it might be worth removing temporarily to test as well, since it looks like it's two different fieldtypes (integer and page field?). In any case, if using 3.0.215 you probably want to update to 3.0.228.

Last week we had a big update of Pro modules and this week we have another batch of Pro module updates. These are now posted and available for download in the relevant boards: ProDevTools Profiler Pro (v3) ProDevTools Sitemap XML (v4) ProDevTools ProcessWire API Explorer (v5) ProDevTools User Activity (v7) LoginRegisterPro Frontend File Inputfield (v3) FormBuilder Stripe Processor (v3) FormBuilder Stripe Inputfield (v9) If you use the ProcessWireUpgrade module, it can also tell you when Pro module updates are available. In addition to the Pro module updates, we also have a new dev branch core version available: 3.0.228. ProcessWire 3.0.228 primarily focuses on fixing newly reported issues. We'll likely merge this version to the master/main branch sometime early next week because it contains a couple of fixes that belong on the master/main branch. For instance, there was a bug with ProcessWire's pages_parents table (present for the last year) that could affect the result on has_parent selectors in some situations. There was also a bug found by @Robin S where ProcessWire's image fields weren't using the stored/cached value for width/height on images, and instead was pulling it from the image file, which takes more time. So for image-heavy pages, 3.0.228 theoretically could offer a nice performance benefit (especially in the page editor), and is a worthwhile upgrade. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

This week I've been finishing updates for many of the Pro modules with new versions posted today for the following modules: FormBuilder (v55) ProCache (4.0.5) ProMailer (v13) ProDrafts (v10) ProDevTools Form Auto Saver and Reminder, also posted in FormBuilder (v3) ProDevTools Page Auto Saver and Live Preview (v8) ProFields Combo (v12) ProFields RepeaterMatrix (v11) ProFields Table (v25) ProFields Verified URL (v6) ProFields Textareas (v10) ProFields Multiplier (v15) These new versions don't necessarily contain new features, with a few exceptions. But they do contain maintenance updates for PHP 8.2+ and jQuery 3.6+ where needed. They also contain various small fixes, improvements or documentation adjustments. Pro modules not mentioned above will also receive updates in the coming week (or weeks). I thoroughly tested all of these modules with ProcessWire 3.0.227 before posting. But all of these versions are posted as "dev" or "development" versions. What does that mean? It means that that at the time it was uploaded, I was the only one using it so far, and thus they've only been tested thoroughly by me, today at least. The term "dev" doesn't mean that the version isn't stable. In fact, often times the dev version may be more stable than the last posted non-dev version. (Kind of like how the core dev branch is often more stable than the master branch). The dev designation just means that I can't claim it to be the most stable version until it's been out for a little while longer, with more people testing it. If you see a dev version posted that has been out for several weeks, then you can usually consider that the current stable version. The exception would be if it also says "beta", or something else to indicate it's a testing version. Early this week the core master/main branch was also updated to version 3.0.227. This version contains fixes for bugs reported since 3.0.226 master/main was released. A 3.0.228 bump is also in the works for the core master/main branch. I'll likely be working on Pro module updates for another 1-2 weeks here, along with issue fixes to the core. As a result, the 3.0.228 version will likely be merged to the master/main branch in the next couple weeks as well. I figure we might as well keep updating the main/master branch with small fixes and such until we get into more major dev branch updates. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

@joe_g In that case the $user must have been a NullPage. I'll set it up to throw an Exception with a more clear error message when you try to save a NullPage.

This week there have been a few updates to the core on the dev branch, but nothing major. Next week I'll be bumping up the version to 3.0.227 and then likely merging back to the master/main branch again. While there aren't major updates relative to 3.0.226, that means there isn't a lot to test or break, so it makes sense to keep updating the main/master branch until we get into more significant updates on the dev branch. In addition to getting into more significant dev branch updates, I'm also planning to put out version updates on nearly all the Pro modules in the upcoming weeks. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

You would think that Stripe could come up with at least one web design/development related category. After all, they have "Alcohol", "Marijuana-related products", "Weapons Or Munitions", and "Betting Or Fantasy Sports", but absolutely nothing for folks like us… no web design, development, or any kind of design or programming topics. The only one that mentions anything online/internet related would be "Online gambling", so maybe that's the closest one?

If you want to add hooks in your ready() method, you could probably call the ready() method at the end of your install() method?

@prestoav Is it possible you've turned off URL segments for your admin template? That error comes from /wire/core/ProcessController.php (here) when it can't match up the current URL segment to a method in the Process module. It would be worth looking at the Network tab in your browser to see what the full URL is when it's failing.

Happy 1st of September! Now that we've got the new main/master version out and running smoothly, I've been catching up with some client work this week. I'll need to do some of that next week too. But we'll also be fine tuning the core and fixing anything that comes up in issue reports. We may have have another master version out with these kinds of minor updates before digging into more major updates, feature requests and PRs on the dev branch this month. If you've not yet upgraded to 3.0.226 yet, I'd encourage you to give it a try. So far all reports have been positive and I've not heard of anyone running into any upgrade issues yet. Thanks and have a great weekend!

After 8 months in development we are excited to bring you ProcessWire 3.0.226 main/master. This version has a ton of great new features, improvements and optimizations, plus more than 100 issue fixes. This post takes an in-depth look at highlights from this great new version. While there's even more in this version than is covered fully here, we hope this gives you a good taste of what you'll find in 3.0.226! https://processwire.com/blog/posts/pw-3.0.226/

The master/main branch is now updated to version 3.0.225. Early next week I'll be adding a git tag for the version number as well. I usually like to merge dev to the master/main branch first, let it marinate for a day or two, and then tag it. That's because once we tag it, it triggers other services to pick it up and broadcast it. So letting it marinate for the weekend just adds a layer of comfort, for whatever silly reason. That's pretty much how I've always done it. When I did the merge, it reported 511 files changed, 76421 insertions(+), 23539 deletions(-), so there's quite a lot in this version. There's enough, that I'm going to need another week to document it all into a new blog post, which should be ready by this time next week. Our contributors list also continues to grow nicely with this new version. Thanks to all those that have submitted PRs, reported issues, and submitted feature requests. Big thanks to @matjazp in particular who has been helping a lot in identifying, testing, organizing and even coding the solutions for numerous issue reports. More details on this new version next week. Until then, thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

This week we've been resolving a few more remaining issues, mostly those that take more time or discussion. So there's not many commits to the dev branch this week, but that also means we're very close to having the main/master version ready. I'm hopeful we'll be there by this time next week. If you have a chance to test the current dev branch please do, and let us know if you run into any issues. Thanks and have a great weekend!

This week on the core dev branch is ProcessWire 3.0.224! Relative to 3.0.223 it has 25 commits and 17 issue resolutions (see dev branch commit log). I think we are within 1-2 weeks of having the new main/master version, so I'll be looking closely for any new reports. Consider us now in a dev branch feature lockdown in preparation for the main/master version. At this stage, there likely won't be any new features added or issue resolutions that would require significant field testing (at least not until the merge to main/master). If you have a chance to test the current dev branch version, please do, and let us know if you run into any issues. Thanks and have a great weekend!
