@markus_blue_tomato Sorry to hear that, I hope they have it available soon. I figured we'd be the last to get it here because the for-profit healthcare system in the US doesn't often lend itself well to public health, unless you are wealthy. (Just getting a covid test was $400). Luckily it seems the vaccine isn't being handled by the healthcare companies, and it's free. My parents got their vaccine at an appliance store drive-through, my wife got hers at the grocery store, and I got mine at the office of some technology company in our town square. That might sound sketchy but they are all legitimate and it seems to be working well for once.

It's spring break here and my kids are going back to school next week after being out for more than a year. Since it's a break week, the weather is great, and it's also the last week of the year-long covid break from school, I've spent a little less time at the computer this week. I've focused on some smaller module projects rather than the core. More specifically: posted a major update and refactor of the TextformatterHannaCode module, and a completely rewritten TextformatterVideoEmbed module. While making these updates, I've also made note of and attempted to resolve any reported issues in the GitHub repositories. Next week, it's back to the core, with both issue resolutions and pull requests scheduled for upcoming versions. Next week I also get my 2nd shot of covid vaccine, and I'm told it may slow me down a bit for a day, but will be well worth it. I had a day of tiredness from the 1st shot, but it was greatly outweighed by feelings of gratitude and reduction of worry. I highly recommend it as soon as you can get it, if you haven't already.

This week ProcessWire gained the ability to maintain separate read-only and read-write database connections to optimize scalability, cost and performance. The post covers why this can be so valuable and how to configure it in ProcessWire— https://processwire.com/blog/posts/pw-3.0.175/

@monollonom I knew there was a reported PDO issue pending, but didn't remember the details so was going to be looking for it this coming week to make sure it was included (along with any others), thanks for pointing me to it.

@MrSnoozles @teppo This is not a limiting factor in scalability at least. First off, at least here, the file-based assets are delivered by Cloudfront CDN, so they aren't part of the website traffic in the first place (other than to feed the CDN). If you wanted scalability then you'd likely want a CDN serving your assets whether using S3 or not. But a CDN isn't a necessary part of the equation in our setup either. File systems can be replicated just like databases. That's how this site runs on a load balancer on any number of nodes. Requests that upload files are routed to node A (primary), but all other requests can hit any node that the load balancer decides to route it to. The other nodes are exact copies of the node A file system that update in real time. This is very similar to what's happening with the DB reader (read-only) and writer (read-write) connection I posted about above, where the writer would be node A and there can be any number of readers. Something like S3 doesn't enhance the scalability of any of this. Implementing S3 as a storage option for PW is still part of the plan here, but more for the convenience and usefulness than scalability. You can already use S3 as a storage option in PW if you use one of the methods of mapping directories in your file system to it. But I'm looking to support for it in PW more natively than that. It is admittedly more complex than the DB stuff mentioned above. For instance, we use PHP's PDO class that all DB requests go through, so intercepting and routing them is relatively simple. Whereas in PHP, there is no PDO-type class that the file system API is built around, and instead it is dozens of different procedural functions (which is just fine, until you need to change their behavior). In addition, calls to S3 are more expensive than a file system access, so doing something as simple as getting an image dimensions is no longer a matter of a simple php getimagesize() call. Instead, it's more like making an FTP connection somewhere, FTP'ing the file to your computer, getting the image dimensions, storing them somewhere else, then deleting the image. So meta data like image dimensions needs to be stored somewhere else. PW actually implemented this ability last year (meta data and stored image dimensions). So we've already been making small steps towards S3-type storage, but because the big picture is still pretty broad in scope to implement, it's more of a long term plan. Though maybe one of my clients will tell me they need it next week, in which case it'll become a short term plan. ?

This week I've been working on something a little different for the core. Specifically, ProcessWire's database class (WireDatabasePDO) has been rewritten to support separate read-only and read-write database connections. Jan, who administers the processwire.com server, asked if I could implement it. I looked into it and thought it had significant benefits for ProcessWire users, so it worked out that now was a good time to implement it. The rewritten database class is actually complete and now running on a live test installation, but I have not yet committed it to the core dev branch because I want to fully document it first. This will happen next week in a blog post. By then I'll have processwire.com using it too. But I can already say that it's a cool thing watching the graphs in AWS show the difference it makes when we start hitting the site with crawlers. You might be wondering what the benefits are in having separate read-only and read-write database connections. I'll get into some of the details next week. But essentially, read-only database connections can scale in a way (and at much lower cost) than read-write connections can. And when using a service like Amazon Aurora, they can scale on-the-fly automatically according to traffic and demand for resources. Not only does it open up the ability for a ProcessWire-powered site to scale much further than before, but it has potential to reduce the costs of doing so by perhaps 50% or more. If you are interested in reading more, we are currently testing the features using Amazon Aurora and RDS Read Replicas (see also Replication with Aurora). However, the ProcessWire core support for this feature is not bound to anything AWS specific and will work with any platform supporting a similar ability. Thanks for reading, I'll have more on this next week, and also have it ready to use should you want to try it out yourself.

I hope everyone is having a good week! Commits to the core this week include 10 issue report resolutions (so far). This will likely continue next week as well, and then I'll bump the version up then. Also included this week is an CKEditor upgrade from 4.14.0 to version 4.16.0. While that may sound like a minor CKEditor version bump, there's actually quite a list of updates in the CKEditor 4.x changelog, including a few security-related fixes, though none that I think are likely to affect PW users. I do still have a couple of core feature requests in progress as well, but there's more work still to do on those. Nothing too exciting this week, but I like to check in and say hello either way. I hope you all have a great weekend!

@tcnet If possible, add a ModuleName.info.php file, or a ModuleName.info.json file to your repo, where "ModuleName" has the same name as your repo. Here's an example of an info.json file: { "title": "Your Module or Site Profile Name", "summary": "One sentence summary of the module or site profile.", "version": 1, "author": "Name of author" } We haven't had any site profiles added since the directory was recently updated, so if you find that doesn't work, please send me a PM with your repo URL and I'll figure it out here.

@teppo When a module doesn't connect to your profile, it means that the module was submitted with a different email address than the one on your account. When that happens, I just fix them manually so that they connect to your account. I have fixed ProcessChangelog and all 3 or 4 others I could find so that they connect to your account now. Thanks for letting me know. PM or email me if there are any others, as I don't always know when someone tags me so it's easy for me to miss. @adrian I don't know about PageEditSoftLock specifically, but there is an automatic purge of older modules that match these conditions: they don't indicate support for PW 3.x, haven't been updated in 2+ years, and the author is not active. They are still technically in the DB, so if there is someone else that wants to maintain an inactive module, or if there's a known reliable module despite not being active, or if it just appears to be a mistake, let me know and I can re-publish.

I was glad to see there was interest in the new URL hooks added last week, thanks! There were still a few details to work out, so thought I'd take care of those this week before moving on to other updates, and they are now in 3.0.174. Today I've also updated last week's blog post with the additional info, so that it's all in one place. This will likely be converted over to a dedicated documentation page, but for now, here is what's been added: The post last week introduced you to using named arguments. This week another kind was added, called simple named arguments (click the link for details). The idea is based off an example from another post in these forums by BitPoet. The handling of trailing slashes vs non-trailing slashes was undefined last week. This week it has been defined and is now enforced by ProcessWire. All of the details are here. Pagination was another grey area last week, but no longer. Here are all of the details on how you can utilize pagination in URL/path hooks. In addition, in 3.0.174 URL/path hooks can now have control even after a Page (template file) throws its own 404, whether by wire404() or throw new Wire404Exception(). I found this was necessary because it is possible to enable URL segments for your homepage template. And, depending on your homepage template settings, that means it is possible for the homepage to be the recipient of all URLs that don't match pages. This would leave no opportunity for URL/path hooks to execute. So now ProcessWire gives URL/path hooks another opportunity to run if it matches the URL, even after a 404 is thrown from a Page template file. Beyond the above, there's been a lot of additional optimization and improvement to the hooks system that handles the path/URL hooks, but nothing further that affects its API... just internal improvements. ProcessWire 3.0.174 also adds a feature requested by Adrian, which was to add object return value support for the recently added $pages->findRaw() method. The method by default returns arrays for everything, which can be helpful in making clear you are working with raw data, in cases where it matters. (As opposed to formatted or prepared page data). But if you specify objects=1 in your selector to the method, it will instead return StdClass objects where it previously returned arrays. This makes working with the data more consistent with how you might work with Page object data, even if it is still raw data. Should you be using any findRaw() data for output purposes, you can now also specify entities=1 in your selector to have it automatically entity-encode all string values, or entities=field, replacing "field" with pipe-separated field names you want entity encoded. The following example summarizes all of the recent additions to findRaw, as pretty much everything here was not possible on the first implementation: $items = $pages->findRaw("parent=/blog/posts, fields=title|url, entities=title, objects=1"); foreach($items as $item) { echo "<li><a href='$item->url'>$item->title</a></li>"; } Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

@adrian It's like an index for page URLs/paths. Usually PW has to join every page in a query in order to know its URL. So the PagePaths module provides a more direct and theoretically faster route. But in my experience, it's not really faster until the URLs get long (like in cases where PW would have to do lots of joins to determine the URL otherwise). The other thing it does is that it lets you perform $pages->find() partial text matching operations on the url/path, which you can't do otherwise. The only place where it adds overhead is if you change the name of a parent page, it then has to re-index all the URLs for everything below the parent. It's not installed automatically because most people don't need it, and it doesn't support multi-language URLs. But it's handy to have when it crosses over with your needs. I'm good to provide an option for findRaw to return an array of basic objects if one requests it in the $options. But for most I would suggest sticking to the array because it's good for it to be clearly different in syntax from a regular page. That's because it's all raw and unformatted data, so it's not going to be safe to swap between find() and findRaw() in most cases and good to maintain clear differentiation. For instance, when using something from findRaw() for output, you've got to be sure to entity encode anything you output, etc. Plus, one reason for findRaw() is to provide the lowest level path to the raw data, and I think a PHP array is probably the lowest level, least overhead way of doing that. But having an option/alternative for a std object seems fine to me.

@adrian @bernhard I've added support for getting 'url' and 'path' from $pages->findRaw() in the latest commit, but it requires the PagePaths module be installed. Now just need multi-language URL support for that module.

@Robin S That's correct, an existing page has precedence. I'd like to make it so you can optionally override that too, but still working to identify the most efficient way. I'm trying to avoid a solution that adds the overhead of checking hooks and regular expressions for every request before identifying the page. Currently it only does that if the request doesn't end up matching a page, which adds no overhead to page rendering requests. Once the technical details are worked out, likely the solution will involve using an $wire->addHookBefore('/path/', ...) (rather than just addHook) which will receive a matched page (if there is one) and then it can decide whether to let it proceed as-is, change the Page object, or do something else. That's also a technical still to work out. We could easily enforce trailing vs non-trailing slash but didn't want to do it without someone dictating that's what they want. Otherwise someone could very easily end up having every request getting 301'd without realizing it. So seemed safest just to allow either for the moment. I do plan to add a way to let you dictate what's required so that it can perform necessary redirects for you. I'm currently thinking that if the match pattern ends with a slash, it'll enforce the slash; if it doesn't, it'll enforce no-slash; and if it ends with a /? it'll allow for either. @eelkenet It doesn't at present since the feature was just added, but I do think it will be possible for ProCache to cache them. I've already started looking into it here. @StanLindsey The entire matched URL is always in $event->arguments(0). If it would be helpful I can also add a named argument to it, like 'url' or something, so you could do $event->arguments('url'); or just $event->url

I'm getting a look at this thread linked from the PW Weekly, where it looks like this topic has been discussed. BitPoet has an example where named arguments are in the format like "{user}" (if I understood it correctly) and I really like that. It would provide for an option to have named arguments without having to specify what would be in it... just "any valid PW page name characters". That sounds useful. I'll add support for it, in addition to the named arguments support mentioned in the blog post. We can support that without interfering with other regular expression features by having it convert that to a PCRE capture group.

ProcessWire 3.0.173 adds several new requested features and this post focuses on one of my favorites: the ability to hook into and handle ProcessWire URLs, independent of pages— https://processwire.com/blog/posts/pw-3.0.173/

The core dev branch commits this week continue to work on feature requests, and the plan is that the version in progress (3.0.173) is and will be focused entirely on added feature requests. While a few requested small features have been committed to the dev branch this week, there are also still two more in progress that aren't quite ready to commit, so those will likely be in next week's commits. Once they are in place, we'll also bump the version to 3.0.173. Following that, I'd like to have 3.0.174 focused on resolutions from the processwire-issues repo, and 3.0.175 focus on PRs. That's the plan for now anyway. It might be a good rotation to keep going. In the next couple of weeks I'm also likely to wrap up the client project that's kept me pretty busy recently, though it's all been ProcessWire-related and fun work thankfully. If you've also been busy building new sites in ProcessWire any time recently, please add them to our sites directory if you get a chance. I hope you all have had a great week and likewise have a great weekend!

@thetuningspoon After save actions don't participate in a delete action. But I can add a hook for that purpose: ProcessPageEdit::redirectAfterDelete(). I'll have it in there in 3.0.173 and you can hook before that method to perform your own redirect before the page editor does.

This week I've been developing a client site, but also working through some of the feature requests. I'm going through them in order of "thumbs-up" on GitHub and trying to focus more on those that I can get through reasonably quickly. For a summary of what's been added, be sure to see the dev branch commit log. There's still a few more I'd like to add before bumping the version to 3.0.173, so will save that for next week. One of the requests was for the ability to add custom after-save actions in the Page editor. These are the "Save + Exit", "Save + Add New", etc., dropdown actions that you see on the Save button in the page editor. This is something that's already supported, but not formally documented. So I wanted to quickly go through a couple examples of how to do that here, as it is kind of useful and fun. Let's start with a "hello world" example to keep it simple, then we'll move on to a more practical example. Say we want a "Save + Say Hello" dropdown action in our page editor Save button. We need one hook to add the action, and another to process it. These hooks could go in your /site/ready.php file or your /site/templates/admin.php file, or in a module. First we'll want to hook ProcessPageEdit::getSubmitActions() to add our custom "hello" action: $wire->addHookAfter('ProcessPageEdit::getSubmitActions', function($event) { $actions = $event->return; // array of actions indexed by name $page = $event->object->getPage(); // page being edited // add a new action that says hello after saving page $actions['hello'] = [ 'value' => 'hello', // value for action that you will check 'icon' => 'hand-spock-o', // icon to show in action, excluding the 'fa-' part 'label' => '%s + Say Hello', // the '%' is replaced with 'Save' or 'Publish' 'class' => '', // optional class if you need different styling for button/link ]; $event->return = $actions; }); To process our action, we'll need to add a hook to ProcessPageEdit::processSubmitAction(): $wire->addHookAfter('ProcessPageEdit::processSubmitAction', function($event) { $action = $event->arguments(0); // action name, i.e. 'hello' $page = $process->getPage(); // Page that was edited/saved if($action === 'hello') { $notice = new NoticeWarning("Hello! You edited page $page->path"); $notice->icon = 'hand-spock-o'; $event->notices->add($notice); } }); That's all there is to it. That part where I created the $notice above could just as easily been $this->warning("Hello!..."); but I wanted to add a custom icon to it, which is why I created the Notice manually. Many of the built-in after-save actions perform a redirect to another location, such as adding another page, exiting back to the page list, viewing the page on the front-end, etc. If you have a need to perform a redirect after the save, use the $event->object->setRedirectUrl($url); method. This is preferable to calling $session->redirect(); yourself, as it is handled by the page editor after it has finished everything it needs to do. What if you just want to remove one of the existing actions? For instance, maybe you want to remove the "Save + Add New" action. That action has the name "add", so we can remove it like this: $wire->addHookAfter('ProcessPageEdit::getSubmitActions', function($event) { $actions = $event->return; // array of actions, indexed by name unset($actions['add']); $event->return = $actions; }); If there's another you'd like to remove, I'd recommend using TracyDebugger and bd($actions); so you can see and identify all the actions that are present from your hook. Now let's get to a more practical example. Let's say that you are using ProCache and you want to add a save action to automatically prime the cache after performing the save. By "prime the cache" I mean have it perform a page-view on the front-end that makes it save a new cache file for the page. Here's how you could do that: $wire->addHookAfter('ProcessPageEdit::getSubmitActions', function($event) { $actions = $event->return; // array $page = $event->object->getPage(); // page being edited $procache = $event->wire('procache'); if(!$procache) return; // if procache not installed, do not add action if(!$page->isPublic()) return; // page not public is also not cacheable if(!$page->viewable()) return; // page not viewable has no template file if(!$procache->isPageCacheable($page)) return; // page not setup for cacheing $actions['cache'] = [ 'value' => 'cache', 'icon' => 'fighter-jet', 'label' => '%s + Cache', // Save + Cache 'class' => '', ]; $event->return = $actions; }); …and our hook to process the action: $wire->addHookAfter('ProcessPageEdit::processSubmitAction', function($event) { $action = $event->arguments(0); // action name, i.e. 'cache' $page = $process->getPage(); // Page that was edited/saved if($action === 'cache') { $http = new WireHttp(); $response = $http->get($page->httpUrl); if($response) { $size = wireBytesStr(strlen($response)); $event->message("Cache primed for page $page->path ($size)", "nogroup"); } else { $this->warning("Error caching page: " . $http->getError()); } } }); Note that we don't have to clear the cache file here because that's something that ProCache has already done prior to our hook above being called. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

A couple weeks ago there were a lot of ideas about page builders and different approaches in ProcessWire. Some really interesting ideas actually, and great proof of concepts as well. The conversation started moving faster than I could keep up with, and I think Teppo's summary in ProcessWire Weekly 351 is a great overview, if you haven't yet seen it. These are so great in fact, that I don't think anything I build could live up to what some of you have already built. In part because my focus is more server-side than client-side development, and I can clearly see most of these page builders are much more client-side based than I have expertise in (though would like to learn). Whereas some of you are clearly amazing client-side developers; I'm blown away by what's been built, and how quickly it happened. One struggle I have with page builders is that I don't have my own good use cases for them, with the projects that I work on. Others here (like Jonathan) already have a lot of good use cases. Clearly there are a lot of benefits. I'm fascinated and enthusiastic by all of it, but can't envision how or if I'd use such a tool in my own projects. And having experience with (and particularly close use cases for) a tool is important in hitting the right notes in building it. Likely page builder support belongs in ProcessWire in some form or another, and ProcessWire can be an excellent platform for it. But the actual page builder needs to be designed and built by the people that have expertise in the tools needed to build it, and by the people that will actually use it. I think it should be a community collaboration. For anything needed to support this on the PHP side, count me in. I don't think I've got the background to "lead" the development of the page builder, but I do think I've got plenty to contribute to it. I'd also like to continue building out existing tools like Repeater/Matrix to further support page builder type use cases. I'd like to rebuild and move the auto-save and Live Preview features from ProDrafts into the core, which should also help support some of these page builder cases. Whether these will eventually apply to the larger page-builder project, I don't know, but they'll be useful either way. What are the next steps? Who's interested in working on this? Let's keep the conversion going and move forward with it.

@LMD Thanks, it looks like a last minute optimization screwup on my part, changing a $page->set() to a $page->setForced(), when there was bug in $page->setForced() preventing it from populating $page->settings when it should. I have pushed a fix for it on the dev branch. Please let me know if you continue to see any errors.

In that case it would have to use the existing find() method, which does that: performs a find() to find the page IDs and template IDs, breaks them into different groups by template, and then performs query(ies) to then load the pages with the appropriate autojoin fields for the templates. The new find method used by findJoin() and "field=..." option is a lot simpler so it does all of it in 1 query, which is possible because you are specifying the fields to autojoin (rather than the template, so it doesn't need to figure that part out). I don't yet know if there is a downside, as I've never tried to autojoin-all before. I'm going to look into it though. But I think there are potential downsides, as 1 big query with a lot of joins can sometimes be slower and harder for MySQL to cache than a lot of simple queries. MySQL also has limits on how many joins it can perform in a query and how much data can be concatenated from a multi-row table, so it's likely that autojoin of all fields might be less reliable in some cases. I guess I see autojoin as a good optimization for some (or many) cases where it's found to be reliable and increase performance, but not all cases, and not something to use by default.

@adrian Sounds like a good idea to me. I think it would be possible if your selector specifies which template(s) are in use, so it knows what fields it can autojoin, rather than attempting to autojoin all fields in the system. I can look into it further. Though should also mention that not all fields support autojoin, so it wouldn't technically be possible to autojoin "all", though it could accomplish it by using autojoin to load what it can and then manually load the rest, so it could still deliver pages to you with all of the fields populated and no further loading necessary. Not sure if this applies to your case or not, but wanted to mention that if doing this for just the current/page being rendered, then it wouldn't be worthwhile. The efficiency benefits in autojoin come into play when lots of pages are being loaded. @Zeka It's a similar option in terms of what it does, but also quite different. The new "field=..." option (or findJoin method) uses an entirely different page finding method that performs the find and load in the same query. (This is possible since you are specifically telling it what fields to join). Whereas the options.loadOptions.joinFields you mentioned is just an option to the pages.getById() method that occurs after the find() has already taken place, and it's really more intended as an internal option rather than a public API one. The newly added feature can do the same thing more efficiently, and easily enough that I thought it belonged in the public API. One other difference to mention is that the options.loadOptions.joinFields adds to the default autojoin fields for the loaded pages rather than overrides it. So it doesn't give you the level of control that the new option does unless you don't have any fields with the autojoin flag in your system. No changes here. There's only so much that can be joined in one query per field, so autojoin is not always possible, especially on multi-value (FieldtypeMulti) fields with lots of values. It should be possible on most Page reference and options fields though, so long as they don't have huge amounts of selections. If there's need for it though, I may be able to have fields (where applicable) store a cache of data (like FieldtypeCombo does) that can be autojoined. Since you specified a field that does not exist, I think you are seeing the "no fields specified: load all" behavior here. Probably it would be better if it threw an Exception or just returned a blank result set. Autojoin isn't very useful for the current page, like the one you are rendering. There isn't likely going to be a worthwhile difference in overhead between autojoin fields and load-on-demand fields when rendering the current page being viewed. The difference becomes worthwhile when working with lots of pages that all have the same field. For instance, think of the page-list in the admin—having the title field autojoin is useful there. For most people, they probably don't ever even need to think about autojoin. But for those of us interested in optimization, it does offer some worthwhile improvements in the right situations. I wouldn't bother with trying to autojoin your SEO fields since you would only use those rendering the page being viewed. This kind of micro-optimization can take up your time without delivering benefits you'll ever feel. Though if you wanted to load them all in one chunk, a Combo field would be a great way to do that.

This week ProcessWire gained powerful new tools for finding pages and controlling how they are loaded. If you like to maximize performance and efficiency, you’ll like what 3.0.172 brings— https://processwire.com/blog/posts/find-faster-and-more-efficiently/

This week we have a couple of useful new $pages API methods. They are methods I've been meaning to add for awhile but hadn't found the right time. The need coincided with client work this week, so it seemed like a good time to go ahead and add them. I'm doing a lot of import-related work and needed some simple methods that let me work with more page data than I could usually fit in memory, and these methods make that possible. These won't be useful to everyone all the time, but they will be useful in specific cases. The first is $pages->findRaw() which works just like the $pages->find() method except that it returns the raw data from the matching pages, and lets you specify which specific fields you want to get from them. For more details see the findRaw() documentation page. There's also getRaw() method which is identical to findRaw() except that it returns the raw data for just 1 page, and like get(), it has no default exclusions. The next method is $pages->getFresh(). This works just like $pages->get() except that it gets a fresh copy of the page from the database, bypassing all caches, and likewise never itself getting cached. ProcessWire is pretty aggressive about not having to reload the same page more than once, so this method effectively enables you to bypass that for cases where it might be needed. Again, probably not something you need every day, but really useful for when you do. More details on the getFresh() documentation page. I'm going to likely cover these new $pages API methods in more detail in a future blog post, along with some better examples, so stay tuned for that. I noticed there's some pretty great conversion and examples happening in the posts on page builders here, but have been so busy this week I haven't had a chance to dive in, but I'm really looking forward to doing so. Thanks and I hope you all have a great weekend!

This week I've had to work on a client project (and that continues for the next week or two), but also have some good progress in the next development branch version of ProcessWire (v3.0.171), which includes the addition to two feature requests: The Repeater Fieldtype (and likewise RepeaterMatrix) was updated to improve support for the "depth" option by introducing something called "family friendly mode". This makes the "depth" setting behave in a manner where items with more indent are considered children of items with less indent (parents). So when you click and drag to move a parent item, it brings along the children too. This works whether changing the location or the indent of the parent. In addition, it enforces the parent/child relationship so that there can't be more than one level of indent between parent and child. So you couldn't (for example) have a parent-to-grandchild relationship in the repeater items. A useful case for this is when using repeaters in page builder contexts, like those Jonathan Lahijani demonstrated with RepeaterMatrix. In fact, the settings in this "family friendly" mode were his idea. More to come here too. To enable "family friendly mode", go to your Repeater or RepeaterMatrix field settings and make sure the "depth" setting is greater than 1. When greater than 1, the family-friendly option will appear as a toggle you can enable. The other thing added to the core this week was a FieldtypeDecimal module that has been requested for awhile. I was planning on making it a setting of FieldtypeFloat, largely to avoid interfering with the existing 3rd party FieldtypeDecimal module. But a few people indicated they'd prefer it to be separate. After testing on an installation that already had the 3rd party FieldtypeDecimal installed, I found it didn't cause any problems, so that alleviated my concern. To be safe, the new core FieldtypeDecimal module uses the same exact setting names as the 3rd party one, so that hopefully they should remain compatible. In my case, I found that deleting my /site/modules/FieldtypeDecimal directory, and then doing a “Modules > Refresh” enabled the core one to take over with any existing decimal fields. However, until we have reports that the same works well for others, I would suggest backing up and confirming it yourself to be safe. It's not often we intentionally introduce module name collisions, and I don't think we've ever done it in the direction where a new core module overlaps with an established 3rd party one. But in this case, it does seem to facilitate the transition a bit. That's all for this week. I've been enjoying and am looking forward to continuing with our roadmap discussions hopefully next week. Have a great weekend!
