Hi @ryan and others, this is great addition, but how can I return specific http code? I know I can send 404, but how I send 400 when the input arguments are invalid?

It is fixed in verion 1.1.2, add a admin-helper-links permission to a role.

Hi @donatas, ah there is already a permission associated with a module, and I thought it will work, but looks like not. Maybe it works only for process modules out of the box. I will check it.

Hi @bernhard, yes I agree with @benbyf to have some API documentation. I'm now confused with updateModuleConfig and setModuleConfig. What is the difference?

Hi there, I have a PW website which I want to use as a CMS. I will have also some different scraper application which will retrieve data from the web and needs to store them in that PW website as pages. The problem is, it will be in JS not PHP and will be on different server (but with access to the PW's server). One thing to consider is the scraper will generate a lot of data. I am thinking about the best solution to this, I have some ideas: 1) Create a REST api in CMS and let the scraper send request over HTTP 2) Use websockets 3) Install another PW instance along with the scraper with the access to the same database as CMS and call it over command line. 4) Insert data from scraper directly to the database (create pages) What approach do you think is the best. I want to have CMS UI usable while the scraper sends many requests (multiple per second). I am interested in the option 3) but not sure if PW support that, running multiple instances with the same database. Thanks

Hi there, you who are using this module might be interested in a new module I created AdminHelperLinks. It has the same purpose but uses different approach. I don't want to steal @Soma's reputation, but he seems inactive in developing the module and I realized while trying to fix the bugs I can do it differently (using JS instead of PHP) and more meeting my needs.

Version 1.1.0 is here. - added template edit link - added link for editing field in template context - using modals - style update: changed link icons, field name, tooltips, ...

Hi @szabesz, thanks for your reply. I will, hope, add the template edit link soon. Yeah I hardcode the url, I didn't realized it can be changed, will fix it.

Hi I created new module for adding links to quickly edit a field directly from page edit. https://processwire.com/modules/admin-helper-links/ You probably already know existing module HelperFieldLinks created by @Soma which was my inspiration. I was using that module for a long time so thank you @Soma! The reasons for this new module are that HelperFieldLinks seems inactive and contains few bugs. I decided to try to fix them, but after a short time I realized a better (i think) and simpler solution and also got some new ideas how to improve. I used javascript instead of PHP and modified a code which is already in PW source code to show field names when you hover the inputfield's expand arrow (in debug mode). I also moved the cog icon next to the expand icons which doen't break the layout so much. What is missing is the field info panel with it's props, never used it, but it can be done too. The template edit links needs to be added too. If you got some ideas how to improve, tell me.

@bernhard I've stumbled upon a problem when I want to specify more pages with the same name but different parents declaratively. More info in PR: https://github.com/BernhardBaumrock/RockMigrations/pull/23

yes, but it affect only the output in a template, right? Or also the value which is filled in the input when editing page?

Hi, in my project one page has a text field with a regext pattern. The field accepts signed (+/-) number and can contain spaces between digits. I would like to remove the spaces after the form is submitted. What is the good approach to do that? I have few ideas: Leave it be as it is and format the value on output. ☹️ Create new fieltype/inputfield with this funcionality. ? Hook processInput method of the Inputfield and remove the spaces. ? I would prefer the 3. option. But what about if I want to have it configurable (to remove spaces or more complex stuff), without creating new fieldtype/inputfield? Is it good to hook getConfigInputfields method? Is it enought to just append some input for it or do I have do some more logic somewhere? What would be your approach, and are there some other modules extending fieldtypes and inputfield the similar way? Thanks

@bernhard I found a bug in your RM update, this line https://github.com/BernhardBaumrock/RockMigrations/blob/master/RockMigrations.module.php#L1007 should be $data[$key] = $addFields; Data under repeaterFields option should be field ids, not names, obviously. Otherwise style and script assets are not loaded for inputfields in repeater (if not present in other places in the form). It took me quite a long time to figure out that ?.

Ok, I will try to live with that and in case of necessity I will try to find a solution.

Great, thank you! ?

So you think I just have to make the code independent of how many time it ran? My reasoning wan't about it is time consuming but about it will do some changes which cannot be run more time, like some data migrations, which means I have somehow determine I was done before.

@bernhard Some questions come to my mind. 1) I am now using $rm->fireOnRefresh(...) for executing my "permanent" migrations (mostly declarative, describing a structure). But what should I do if I have some migration which I want to run only once, e.g. renaming a field (but could be more complex dealing with data). I got an idea to run that specific "upgrade" migration when upgrading a module to a specific version, which would work. The problem is, when I refresh modules my "permanent" migrations (which expects the field is already renamed!!) will run before upgrading a module and running the "upgrade" migration. ? 2) Did you explored the Import/Export code (for fields, templates, ...) already built in ProcessWire? It is similar to what RockMigrations do (in declarative way) or not? I did not explored it much, but I am thinking if your module is needed, if there are already similar functions in a core code. 3) Consireding 2) and previous discussion when I export a template or repeater field (using the built-in admin buttons), context for subfields is stored under fieldContexts key, so e.g. for a repeater field: 'repeater_field' => [ 'type' => 'repeater', 'label' => 'Label', 'repeaterFields' => [ 'field1', 'field2' ], 'fieldContexts' => [ 'field1' => [ 'columnWidth' => 50 ], 'field2' => [ 'columnWidth' => 50 ] ] ] the same for a template, so maybe you can use the same format in RM.

Yes I came to this, but there is no way to do it declaratively?

Hi @bernhard, thank you for this great module. I am trying to add a repeater field which is very easy as this 'repeater_field' => [ 'type' => 'repeater', 'label' => 'Label', 'repeaterFields' => [ 'field1', 'field2' ] ] How can I set fields' contexts, I need to set their columnWidths I tried the same approach as with template fields 'repeater_field' => [ 'type' => 'repeater', 'label' => 'Label', 'repeaterFields' => [ 'field1' => [ 'columnWidth' => 50 ], 'field2' => [ 'columnWidth' => 50 ] ] ] but it doesn't work.

Hi, I'm creating a custom process module with a subpages (via ___executeXXX). The problem is the module's main page uses in the breadcrumbs a module's page title but the sub pages uses a title of the module itself as a parent page in a breacrumbs, see: Modules config: public static function getModuleInfo() { return [ 'title' => 'Réva Jedlička - Kontakty', 'version' => 1, 'summary' => '', 'page' => [ 'name' => 'contacts', 'title' => 'Kontakty', ], 'requires' => [ 'Revajedlicka' ], 'installs' => [ 'RevajedlickaContactsImport' ] ]; } Breadcrumb for main page (___execute()): Breadcrumb for a subpage (___executeDetail()): What should I do to have Administrace > Kontakty > Detail there without changing the name of the module? Thanks Richard

It's because, packagist automaticly creates versions of a package, so you can specify which version you want to install. Without tags you can only install dev-master version (current latest commit) which composer considers as development while tags considers as stable. With tags composer installs the latest tagged version if you don't specify any, but if there is none you have to explicitly specify dev-master if your composer json is not configured to accept it automatically. See my module https://github.com/uiii/ProcessWire-FieldtypePDF as example.

Ah, good! Yes, this is also the way. But I see composer as de-facto standard for maintaining dependencies, not only PW modules. I'm used to npm in JS world and love it, so composer is the way for me. Great, thank you. One more thing you could do is to add git tag for each released version, or at least add the latest one.

Thank you for quick reply! I will take a look at it. I see composer installation really useful because I've just specified all dependencies in composer.json file and don't have to commit modules into my site's source code. So, when I deploy the site to production the automated script easily install all dependecies. All I have to do manually is to install the modules via admin (maybe this could be automated as well) or refresh if they are already installed. I've even created a "wrapper" composer package for processwire (see https://github.com/uiii/processwire), which will install like a regular installation, or upgrade the existing. So my site's source code only contains the site folder (without modules) and composer.json (and composer.lock) and this is enough basis to setup the whole running site by single command: composer install

Hi @bernhard, thanks for a great module. I like the migrate function for declarative definition of PW setup. 1) I saw in your example you are using ModuleName.config.php files to store the config for migration. I also saw the in other PW examples the file with the same name could be used for ConfigurableModule type of module, but as I understand it has different meaning. I know I can name the file as I want but Is it a good practice to use this file for migration (and show it in examples)? 2) Could you please add ability to set different name of directory with migrations? I'd like to use just migrations instead of RockMigrations. 3) It would be great for the module to be easily installable by composer, it is quite easy, see https://processwire.com/blog/posts/composer-google-calendars-and-processwire/#composer-for-module-developers

Hi @erikvanberkum, I apologize but I don't have time to investigate it, are you able to find out what's wrong?
