Are there any updates on this topic? Is there a plan to develop such a field type? I would really appreciate if such a type would be implemented.

My use case is the following:

I have a group of fields that serve as a config for each of my templates. So i have 3 fields that are the same in every template. Currently there are two possibilities to add those fields to each template: adding the single fields to each template, or creating a repeater field and add the fields there. I am currently using the second approach which is working, but its not perfect since i only need one config per template. 

So i would need just a grouping field where i can add/remove/edit fields inside, which are changed then inside all templates, but without using a repeater (since i only need those fields once in each template)

hoping my usecase is clear and someone it motivated to make this possible.

In my opinion this would be a really awesome feature and would help a lot of people.

Thanks in advance

You are right, they were not closed, this was the reason. Now we have a faster server and they are closed again.

Are there any default mysql settings that are suggested for processwire?

Ok. Any suggestions on how optimized MySQL settings to make the database processwire optimized?

We have $config->dbCache enabled but we have on some pages > 2500 queries anyways. Is this still normal or is there possibly a bug?

Hi there,

we just created a new website with processwire and since we set it live our database crashed because

of too many connections.

I checked Processwire and I have seen there are two databases:

1) wire()->database

and

2) wire()->db

The first database seems to be used for all queries the core processwire does.

When I debugged with getQueryLog() I have seen for a page

2498 queries and for another very simple one 629 queries.

We just use about 10-20 fields for a template.

So is around 2.500 queries per page view normal?

Most of them start with SELECT SQL_NO_CACHE

Furthermore our database crashes because of too many connections.

Is it only one or two connections per page view?

There were just 30 website visitors on the page and even a caching CDN on generating 5 minutes later over 400 connections.

Thank you for your help,

Chris

Hi there,

did anybody ever use one of these upload services like

• filepicker.com (seems quite expensive)
• transloadit.com (cheaper one)
• uploadcare.com (cheaper one)

with processwire?

Has anybody experience in integrating them?

I have especially thought about

• image fields
• images inside longtext fields from CKEditor

Best,

Chris!

Anyone an idea?

I thought about a solution like this as well but I want to avoid writing API Endpoints.

Just want the full control of the system and change data on other systems without adding new code.

Hi Nico, thank you for your reply.

It's three PW installations with three own databases.

I don't want to access the asset folder, I just want to change some data inside the database with the ease of PW (e.g. page titles, some fields, ...)

No file up or downloads.

The module you suggested is the right direction!

But it doesn't look like I can change data with it as well!?

Hi there,
 
I have 4 systems:

• system1: an independent processwire installation 2.5.3 with own database
• system2: an independent processwire installation 2.5.3 with own database
• system3: an independent processwire installation 2.5.3 with own database
• cronjobsystem: In a cronjob I want to access the processwire database from the systems with the easy Processwire API access

On the cronjobsystem:
Downloaded processwire, but I just want this system to use the easy API and to change the database dynamically to system 1-3.
On the server there is just

• index.php
• the wire folder.

Is this possible:

$config = new Config();
$config->dbHost = IP_SYSTEM1
$config->dbName = DBNAME_SYSTEM1
$config->dbPass = DBPASS_SYSTEM1
$config->dbPort = 3306;

include("index.php");
 
$pages_system1 = wire()->find("template=article");
var_dump($pages_system1);

Questions:
- Is this possible or what is the best way to achieve using the easy API access while the database comes from another system?
- How can I initiate the class autoloader on the cronjobsystem?
 
Thank you,
Chris

@Nico thank you for your code example!
It looks like using hooks is the best solution for processwire.

@LostKobrakai, @diogo, @mr-fan

It depends on how many fields you have and in my opinion it makes more sense to have

a review template for the review page so you pack things together.

If you review not just movies (e.g. books) it even makes more sense.

Sorry for my bad explanations.

I create a new parent page (template movie, name star-wars, url /star-wars)

There are a couple of subtemplates now but each one should appear max 1 time:

/star-wars/review (Template movie_review)

/star-wars/comments (Template movie_comments)

/star-wars/actors (Template movie_actors)

...

I repeat it with a new movie:

/lord-of-the-rings/review (Template movie_review)

/lord-of-the-rings/comments (Template movie_comments)

/lord-of-the-rings/actors (Template movie_actors)

Inside the template movie I can create using the new module pagetables new pages with those subtemplates.

I have to make sure, that each move there is

- one review

- one or no comments

- one or no actors

page.

@Nico,

yes, but they should be maintained via the backend.

@3fingers, @diogo you got a further idea?

But for this solution I can still use and create pages which should not exist.

So each template should have exactly one name (max. 1 page / page level due to unique page names)

Thank you for your help!

I want to use the new PageTable module adding new pages with the backend.

Using several templates, I cannot use the given template naming since it's designed just for one template.

I'm interested as well, but what about Munich? It's great to reach and in terms of travelling there and accomondations, it's a lot of cheaper than Switzerland

Here are some coworking spaces you can rent quite cheap for conferences:

Hi there,

how can I bind a name to a certain template?

E.g. if a new page is generated using the template "review", the page name (for the url) must be "review", the title as well "Review".

How can I reach this (I guess with hooks) and where should I add it?

Thank you for you help

Nobody an idea?

Hi there,

I want to use the new PageTable field with several templates to use as subpages each with predefined page names and titles.

There is a field "Automatic Page Name Format" but I cannot define a title for each template, it's always the same.

So I want to make sure, the user just generates 1 subpage each template always having the same name.

Is this possible or do I have to use a setup page hook?

Going further this would be defining must-use titles for a template.

Thank you for your help!

Best,

Chris

@Joss ok, thank you.

Hi Joss,

thank you, I definitly try to deliver the same content for all devices but sometimes it doesn't work out.

Interchange looks really awesome do you know if something similar exists for Bootstrap?

I thought about utilizing the language modules but it might be better not touching them...

An awesome feature would be variants of fields.

Like building a blue t-shirt page by inheriting a red t-shirt page. In this way, the user has got the abilities to extend a mobile page as desktop variant by just changing a bunch of fields he really has to adjust.

Best,

Chris

Of course, I'm not talking about a responsive framework but how to handle

a different field for different devices.

I'm looking for a best practice.

Of course, I can add three fields like

featurelist_mobile, featurelist_tablet, featurelist_desktop

But is there a better solution?

Hi there,

how do you handle responsive content with processwire?

It's easy if you want to show the same content on every device and you just do things like

moving boxes arround and leaving a picture away.

But what about different content for mobile / tablet / desktop?

So showing for some field a mobile / tablet / desktop version?h

Inside the backend, I think it's important to fill up all 3 versions at the same place.

What's the best way to handle this in processwire?

Thanks for you help

Wow, awesome! Thank you all!
