Hello @ all I am struggeling with a saving problem of pages and could not find the reason. Description: I am using the following Hook inside a module: public function ready() { $this->addHookAfter('Modules::saveConfig', $this, 'setPageStatus'); } This Hook runs after the module was saved and triggers the the following setPageStatus method : /** * Sets the status of pages using the fl_register or fl_activation template to unpublished or published depending on the value of the * input_selectloginregister inputfield * @param HookEvent $e */ protected function setPageStatus(HookEvent $e) { $pages = wire('pages')->find('template=fl_register|fl_activation', ['findAll' => true]); foreach($pages as $p){ $p->setOutputFormatting(false); if($e->arguments(1)['input_selectloginregister'] == 'login'){ $p->addStatus('unpublished'); } else { $p->removeStatus('unpublished'); } $p->save(); $p->setOutputFormatting(true); } } I have found out that $p->save() method is responsible for the hight execution time and the error, but I do not know why. Everytime I remove this method the problem is gone. but of course the status will not be saved. Just to mention: There are always only 2 pages that will be saved - not more!!! Does anyone has an idea why the saving of the pages can exceed the execution time or a way to find out where the problem could be. Thanks in advance

Thank you @OrganizedFellow This module is on a very early stage, so it has to be tested carefully. I have done a lot of tests and it has been working well, but I hope a lot of people will try it out to test it further to find possible weak points and errors.

Hello @ all I want to share a new module with you, which makes the creation and validation of forms easy. Take a look at the following example of a simple contact form: // A very simple example of a contactform for demonstration purposes $form = new Form('contactform'); $gender = new Select('gender'); $gender->setLabel('Gender'); $gender->addOption('Mister', '0'); $gender->addOption('Miss', '1'); $form->add($gender); $surname = new InputText('surname'); $surname->setLabel('Surname'); $surname->setRule('required'); $form->add($surname); $name = new InputText('name'); $name->setLabel('Name'); $name->setRule('required'); $form->add($name); $email = new InputText('email'); $email->setLabel('E-Mail'); $email->setRule('required'); $form->add($email); $subject = new InputText('subject'); $subject->setLabel('Subject'); $subject->setRule('required'); $form->add($subject); $message = new Textarea('message'); $message->setLabel('Message'); $message->setRule('required'); $form->add($message); $privacy = new InputCheckbox('privacy'); $privacy->setLabel('I accept the privacy policy'); $privacy->setRule('required')->setCustomMessage('You have to accept our privacy policy'); $form->add($privacy); $button = new Button('submit'); $button->setAttribute('value', 'Send'); $form->add($button); if($form->isValid()){ print_r($form->getValues()); // do what you want } // render the form echo $form->render(); This piece of code creates a simple contact form and validates it according to the validation rules set. Inside the isValid() method you can run your code (fe sending an email) Highlights: 30+ validation types Support for UiKit 3 and Bootstrap 5 CSS framework SPAM protection Highly customizable Hookable methods for further customization Multi-language You can download and find really extensive information on how to use at https://github.com/juergenweb/FrontendForms. Please report errors or suggestions directly in GitHub. Best regards and happy testing ? If you have downloaded the module in the past I recommend you to uninstall the module completely and install the newest version 2.1.14. There are a lot of changes in the new version, so please test carefully.

Hello @all I want to know if someone stumbled over the same problem: You have created a modul and during the installation process one or more fields will be created via the API. You have decided to use translateable strings for the field label, description etc. so it could be overwritten by translateable files. $field = new Field(); $field->type = $this->modules->get("FieldtypeDatetime"); $field->name = 'mydate'; $field->label = __('My Date'); So far so good. You install the module and everthing works fine. The label of the via API created FieldtypeDatetime is "My date". Now you want to overwrite this and therefore you create the translation file and overwrite it with fe "Your date". But then: Taking a look at the label of this inputfield on the edit form shows that the label has not changed. The reason for this behavior is, that the field was created before the translation file and therefore the overwritten label will not be used. So you have to go to the field configuration itself and change the label there or you uninstall the module and install it once more. In this case the translation file exists if it was created before and can be used during the creation process of the inputfields. It would be better if the overwritten value will be taken into account. It is not really a problem, but does anybody also struggle with this and found a way to solve this behavior. If not it does not matter. Best regards

Yes, that works!! Hook inside hook -> nice combination. That was exactly what I was looking for!! Problem solved!! ? Thanks!!!!!!

Thanks @netcarver This works, but only if the module cache will be deleted. So I have to include a cache delete and save new method too. I will try to figure out how this could be realized.

Ok, doesn't work! I used this code inside my checking method to set and save config data: $data = wire('modules')->getConfig('MyModuleName'); if(Condition){ $data['permanent'] = true; } else { $data['permanent'] = false; } wire('modules')->saveConfig('MyModuleName', $data); The permanent value will be changed and saved inside the data table, but it seems that there is a module cache problem which prevents the uninstall checkbox from beeing updated (disabled or not).

Thanks @horst Interesting thought, but the condition depends on a setting in a configuration field of the module, so I guess this will not work, but I will try it!

Hello @all I am struggeling to find a way to set the checkbox status of the uninstall checkbox at the bottom of the module configuration page to disabled. I have created a module and I want that the checkbox should be disabled under certain conditions. I have tried to use this hook in my module file init method: $this->addHookBefore('ProcessModule::executeEdit', $this, 'showHideUninstallCheckbox'); and the method itself: protected function showHideUninstallCheckbox(HookEvent $event) { if(condition) .... run code to disable the checkbox } Maybe this hook is not suitable for this purpose. Can someone help me out to show me a way to achive this. Thanks in advance!!

Ok, I got it: Updating my Fieldtype file with this method solved my problem. I found this method inside the FieltypeText.module file. /** * Update a query to match the text with a fulltext index * * @param PageFinderDatabaseQuerySelect $query * @param string $table * @param string $subfield * @param string $operator * @param int|string $value * @return DatabaseQuerySelect * */ public function getMatchQuery($query, $table, $subfield, $operator, $value) { $ft = new DatabaseQuerySelectFulltext($query); $ft->match($table, $subfield, $operator, $value); return $query; }

Hello at all, I have created a new fieldtype with multiple fields (database columns) in it. More precisely it holds various company data (fe. company name, street, phone,...) - each in 1 database column. I want to make these values searchable in the site search, but it always shows me that the selector '~=' is not implement. It accepts '=' as a selector but not '~='. How can I implement this specific selector inside a fieldtype, so it does not throw me an error all the times, if I run a query with this selector. Thank you PS: My fieldtype class extends from Fieldtype

No problem for the moment, because I dont need the raw value. I thought that I needed it, but I dont ?!

Hello @MoritzLost This is what I wanted, but leads to an internal server error on the frontend. In only know $page->of(false) There is a similar post in the forum, which does not work as expected too. Thanks for your hint.

Thanks @LostKobrakai, but this was a misunderstanding. I wanted to prevent the usage of getUnformatted or page->of(false) or something like that method inside the template. I was looking for a possiblitiy to disable outputformatting inside the method itself, so I can use the API without adding a getUnformatted on the template base. But it doesnt matter, because it was a thinking mistake of mine. I dont need the unformatted value from the db - i need the value from the db in a specific format and therefore I am using a manipulation function to get the desired result. But it would be interesting if disabling the formatting inside a method itself is possible.

Hello @ all, Lets imagine I have a value stored in the database which I can output on the frontend with a simple API call like $page->myValue and this value will be manipulated with the formatValue() method before output on the frontend. So it was stored in the database like this: This is my value And after running through formatValue() method it will be: <p>This is my value.</p> So far so good. Now I have created a method inside my fieldtype/inputfield class which uses this value: public function myMethod() { $value = $this->myValue //value should be unformatted as dirctly stored in the database } Problem: myValue is always formatted because it runs through the formatValue method first - is there a way to get the "raw" data instead without setting ouputformatting to false inside the template if I call echo $page->myValue->myMethod(); I think it would not be possible because myMethod() is part of myValue, but maybe someone has an idea how it could work. Thanks in advance

2 new methods for Schema.org markup added: print_r($page->fieldname->getjsonLDTimes()); returns an array like this: Array ( [0] => Mo,Tu,We 08:00-12:00 [1] => Mo,Th 13:00-18:00 [2] => Th 08:00-11:00 ) Can be used to create the markup by yourself or echo $page->fieldname->renderjsonLDTimes(); returns a string like this: "Mo,Tu,We 08:00-12:00", "Mo,Th 13:00-18:00", "Th 08:00-11:00" You can use the second method in schema.org Local Business opening hours as followed: ..... "openingHours": [ "Mo,Th,Sa 11:00-14:30", "Mo,Th 17:00-21:30", "Fr,Sa 17:00-22:00" ], ..... Best regards

New feature added: I have updated the inputfield to support multilanguage timeformats on the frontend. You can set the timeformat of each language in the configuration of the inputfield in the backend (see screencast below). Supports strftime() and date() formats. Languageformat.mp4 Version was bumped from 1.0 to 1.1 on Github. Best regards Jürgen

Hello @ all I have 2 new methods added which take care of days with same times. It often happens that different days have exactly the same opening times. To prevent writing the same times over and over again, you can combine these days with this 2 new methods. 1) First new method to output a multidim. array print_r($page->fieldname->combinedDays()); You can use this array to create the markup by yourself. 2) Render method to output an unordered list of same opening times echo $page->fieldname->renderCombinedDays(); This method outputs a rendered string like this one: <ul class="uk-list"> <li>Mo, Fr: 08:00 - 16:00</li> <li>Tu, Th: 08:00 - 16:00, 18:00 - 20:00</li> <li>We: 16:00 - 23:05</li> <li>Sa, Su, Ho: closed</li> </ul> As you can see days with same times are combined now. Changes are added to Github now, so please download the files again if you want the latest version.? Best regards

Issue should be resolved and the file was updated on Github ?

Hi @bernhard Thanks for your feedback! I will check this and and try to find a solution. ? I have worked with this library in the past and it's really cool, but for the moment I have not planned to include a third party lib. The main purpose of this inputfield is to make entering of opening times simple for the user. Not really! Holidays are always hassle because they differ from country to country. For the moment you can enter only general opening times for all holidays. Exceptions can be really difficult and I guess there you will need to use Spatie to handle this.

Hello @ all ! Today I want to share another new inputfield with the community! It is called Fieldtype OpeningHours and it is designed to enter one or multiple times per day (especially for company opening times). I know that there is another great fieldtype in the repository (https://modules.processwire.com/modules/fieldtype-business-hours/), but I wanted to create my own with a different UI than the other one. Here is a screencast of what it looks like in action: OpeningHours.mp4 A lot of things going on behind the scenes and I dont want to write it all down here, because you can find the whole information on my Github account. https://github.com/juergenweb/FieldtypeOpeningHours Requirements: PHP >= 8.0 (because it uses union types, I have also tested it with new PHP 8.2) ProcessWire >=3.0.181 If you may find any bugs, have any ideas to improve this fieldtype please report it in my Github repository. Greetings from Austria and have a nice day! CHANGELOG: 21.7.20 Add new option to show (true) or hide (false) days with no opening hours on various methods (please be aware that setting options has been changed - it is recommended to deinstall old version and install this inputfield again) . Take a look at the READ.ME for further instructions. 1.1 Add multilang support for timeformat and add 2 additional Schema.org markup methods UPDATE: 09-06-2023: The module has been added to the module directory and can be downloaded from there after it has been published.

Sorry, now it works ? Maybe a chaching problem!!

Hello @ all, I have created an inputfield with a configuration field in the backend where you can set a time format for every language (see screenshot below). As you can see both language values (default and German) have the default value(%R), but I have set different values, which were correctly stored in the DB (see screenshot below): As you can see the values are '%R' and '%r'. I have created the configuration inputfield like this: /** @var InputfieldText $f */ $languages = $this->wire('languages'); $f = $this->wire('modules')->get('InputfieldText'); $f->attr('name+id', 'timeformat'); $f->label = $this->_('Timeformat on frontend'); $f->initValue = '%R';//default value $f->attr('value', $this->timeformat ? $this->timeformat : '%R'); $this->message($this->get('timesformat')); if($languages) { $f->useLanguages = true; foreach($languages as $language) { if($language->isDefault()) continue; $f->set("value$language", (string) $this->get("timeformat$language->id")); } } $f->inputType = 'text'; $f->description = $this->_('Please enter the time format that the times should appear on the frontend in strftime format.'); $f->notes = sprintf($this->_('For example shows the time as 08:00, as 08:00 AM. You can find more examples at %s.'), '<a href="https://www.php.net/manual/de/function.strftime.php">https://www.php.net/manual/de/function.strftime.php</a>'); $f->columnWidth = 100; The important part here is: if($languages) { $f->useLanguages = true; foreach($languages as $language) { if($language->isDefault()) continue; $f->set("value$language", (string) $this->get("timeformat$language->id")); } } I have borrowed the code from the DateTimeInputfield (https://github.com/processwire/processwire/blob/master/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldDatetime/InputfieldDatetime.module), but the field values will be always populated with the default value ('%R'). Are I am missing something? Does anyone has experience with multilanguage fields and could help me out? Thanks in advance.

OK, I figured it out. I transformed the values of the inputfields inside the sleepValue function to a json array and now the values will be stored in the database. public function sleepValue(Page $page, Field $field, $value) { // throw error if value is not of the right type if (!$value instanceof OpeningHours) { throw new \Exception($this->_('Expecting an instance of OpeningHours')); } $content = json_encode($value->data['hours']); $sleepValue = ['hours' => $content]; return $sleepValue; } So the responsible lines are $content = json_encode($value->data['hours']); $sleepValue = ['hours' => $content]; The problem of the storage was that the column 'hours' was not defined in the sleepValue method. This was the important part because without it the system doesnt know where to store the value.

OK, I am 1 step forward :-) Adding $this->value['hours'] = $time_values; to the processInput() method adds the values to the object Here is the complete code of this method: public function ___processInput(WireInputData $input): self { $name = $this->attr('name'); $value = $this->attr('value'); //input object includes always every input on the page, so lets filter out only inputs from this field //we need to do this, because the number of values is variable - so extract only values that starts with $name.'_' $nameAttributes = []; foreach($input as $key=>$value){ if(substr($key, 0, strlen($name.'_')) === $name.'_'){ $nameAttributes[$key] = $value; } } // loop through all inputfields and set the value (if changed or not) back $time_values = []; foreach($nameAttributes as $nameAttr => $value) { $time_values[$nameAttr] = $value; } //add it to the object $this->value['hours'] = $time_values; return $this; } Now the values are also reachable in sleepValue() method and the sanitizeValue() method. ProcessWire\OpeningHours Object ( [data] => Array ( [hours] => Array ( [openinghours_mo-0-start] => 09:00 [openinghours_mo-0-finish] => 13:00 [openinghours_mo-1-start] => 14:00 [openinghours_mo-1-finish] => 18:00 [openinghours_mo-2-start] => 21:00 [openinghours_mo-2-finish] => 23:00 [openinghours_tu-0-start] => 09:00 [openinghours_tu-0-finish] => 13:00 [openinghours_tu-1-start] => 14:00 [openinghours_tu-1-finish] => 18:00 [openinghours_we-0-start] => 09:00 [openinghours_we-0-finish] => 13:00 [openinghours_we-1-start] => 14:00 [openinghours_we-1-finish] => 18:00 [openinghours_th-0-start] => 09:00 [openinghours_th-0-finish] => 13:00 [openinghours_th-1-start] => 14:00 [openinghours_th-1-finish] => 18:00 [openinghours_fr-0-start] => 09:00 [openinghours_fr-0-finish] => 13:00 [openinghours_fr-1-start] => 14:00 [openinghours_fr-1-finish] => 18:00 [openinghours_sa-0-start] => [openinghours_sa-0-finish] => [openinghours_so-0-start] => [openinghours_so-0-finish] => [openinghours_ho-0-start] => [openinghours_ho-0-finish] => ) ) ) Nevertheless the value in the DB is NULL :-(
