  1. Indeed, I’ve been finding HTMX very useful indeed — and I was surprised to see that I’m several versions behind. I spent quite a while looking for the intervening release notes. I couldn’t find any at htmx.org, but they are available via UNPKG: https://unpkg.com/browse/htmx.org@1.9.3/CHANGELOG.md Looks like it’s time to upgrade! 🙂
  2. That’s a shame, @bernhard — not the way I like my app developers to behave. 😞 But I’ve learned so much for your own helpful comments and answers and modules that it would never occur to me to withhold a helpful hand when there’s something I know a little bit about. I’ve been privileged to belong to several forums with very high signal-to-noise ratios, but this one is truly la crème de la crème. Tschüß, und Viel Glück!
  3. I don’t know @wbmnfktr’s source, but it sure sounds like that’ll do the trick nicely! My suggestion otherwise, honestly, if you don’t have a lot of digital typography knowledge or relevant tools, would simply be to experiment with the CSS: specify only one font at a time and include font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums, remembering (of course) to dump (or not use) your browser cache with each new page load. I believe all the various Arial varieties support it, as do the Avenirs. So do (at least) the macOS Helveticas. DIsappointingly, the current macOS system font (variations on “SF” and “San Francisco”) appear not to support it, other than the mono-spaced SF Mono variant. It probably goes without saying, but you’ve asked for “basic,” so: all monospaced fonts will do exactly what you want, even without the font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums. Even if you don’t want to use a monospaced font in general, you might consider using it just for the date/time stamp. My favorite is Michael Everson’s shareware (€25) Everson Mono, which has beautiful glyphs for (I believe) every non-Han Unicode codepoint. Everson writes: I met Michael (nice guy!) a few years ago in the U.K., but otherwise I have no connection or vested interest — other than Everson Mono being my favorite monospaced font for the past 35 years....
  4. Sorry for suggesting something you’d already tried, @bernhard — I’d skimmed over some of the details of your post (pre-coffee!). Not all fonts have tabular numeric forms, of course. Actually, a quick look through my 361 installed typefaces shows that only about half of my installed fonts support tabular numbers — YMMV, of course. This, on a MacBook Pro running macOS 13.4.1 (the current “Ventura” release). So, it’s possible that tabular-nums is working just fine — only not with any of the fonts that have been called for.
  5. Have you tried using the tabular-nums attribute of the font-variant-numeric CSS property? That’s how I’d approach this.
  6. Thank you all very much for your suggestions for further research; I am consistently amazed by the high quality of responses here, as well as the high signal-to-noise ratio! I owe you an update: As I mockingly predicted to myself, the mere act of writing the OP seems to have fixed the problem. Of course, I know this *isn’t* really true, but in truth I have not been unexpectedly logged out even once since I posted here two days ago — astonishing, given that I’d gotten logged out at least 25 or 30 times in the two or three hours leading up to my post. In a perfect world, I would hunt this down ASAP *before* it bites me again. Pragmatically, though, I have to admit that I’m on deadline and there are more immediately pressing concerns. Again, I am very grateful for all of the various pointed questions; they will be the first place I turn when the problem returns. And I promise to update the thread with more info when that happens! In the meantime, thank you, @Jonathan Lahijani, @bernhard, & @flydev!
  7. I should add that I am now often (but not always) seeing an error dialog that says: > Unknown error, please try again later and then I’m shown a rather alarming (but, fortunately, totally spurious) empty listing of pages:
  8. There are quite a few threads here where users report ProcessWire repeatedly logging them out (see below). I, too, have had this problem intermittently over the two years I’ve been using PW. I was able to reduce the problem somewhat about a year ago by turning fingerprinting completely off — but the problem has never completely gone away. I’m now at my wits’ end: I was unexpectedly logged out a half-dozen times again earlier today, though I could never see a pattern. As of an hour ago, though, every single time I try to update a field definition, the change is discarded and I’m logged out. Using a different browser helped for a few minutes, but then it began having precisely the same predictable problem. Fingerprinting is off altogether ($config->sessionFingerprint = false;). CSRF protection is off ($config->protectCSRF = false;). I have installed the Session Handler Database, so my /assets/sessions/ folder is empty. This is my PW development environment, running on my MacBook Pro (M1 Max, current MacOS) via DDEV and Colima; restarting the environment has no effect. I do use Cloudflare WARP/1.1.1.1 on my Mac, though that shouldn’t be relevant; turning it off has no effect. session.gc_maxlifetime is the default 1440 session.gc_divisor is the default 10001 I would like to fix this problem for good and never see it again, so that I can get back to far more important work. Does anyone have any ideas? --- Chronological (probably not comprehensive) list of relevant threads that I’ve read thoroughly:
  9. @teppo, it looks like this is precisely the module I was going to begin searching for on Monday. I’m wildly excited that you’re doing this, though I understand your warnings and cautions. My fingers are crossed!
  10. Fantastic little module, and I especially like the “magic” that happens when certain interpolated punctuation marks (“,”, “|”) are used between concatenated strings and one of the concatenated strings is blank: they’re left out! ? Would it be simple to add an ellipsis (“…”) to the list of characters so treated? My use case involves long paragraphs where I keep track of opening- and closing-words separately (in text fields), but I’d like to be able to represent the whole paragraph with Starting words … concluding words. Occasionally, there’s a very short paragraph, and I don’t want to imply that something has been left out (which an ellipsis, of course, does) — and in those unusual cases I include all of the text in the “starting words” field, leaving the “ending words” field empty. But (unlike with , and with |) the ellipsis shows up regardless.
  11. You just saved my bacon, @Robin S — thanks for this! For those searching, this is the secret sauce for presenting a subset of entries to select from, based on a previous selection. In my case: parent=page.refSection where refSection is a grosser-level selection in a hierarchy. I believe this also answers this question:
  12. Well, but that can’t be right. You posted this, with findMany() working just fine yesterday: So it looks like there’s something about getPage() (implicit or explicit), first(), and presumably last(), in combination with findMany(). I think.
  13. Excellent thought. I haven’t done this before, so hopefully I’ve got the details right: findMany() combined with getPage() gives pages whose parents are (incorrectly) NullPage
  14. OK, guys, it seems there was one more piece to the puzzle. Like @adrian, when I recreated the situation in a simple test environment running 3.0.192, I couldn’t recreate the problem. I should have tested this yesterday, but where I’d discovered that changing findMany() to find() in my code worked around the problem, I figured I’d found it. So, the following conditions are necessary but insufficient: PW 3.0.192 or greater (including the current version) page classes findMany() instead of find() I believe I’ve found the final ingredient. I have tested this in a simplified environment and recreated the problem: 4. getPage() In real life, I’ve rolled my own pagination (since I’d wanted to provide users with logarithmic-like controls for moving backwards and forwards through the site, and provide them with sign-post dates); this paginating has worked well. But it means that rather than a foreach loop I cycle through results in a for loop, and then assign the item with a getPage(). So, Adrian’s code looked like: foreach($pages->findMany('template-basic-page') as $p) { d($p->id . ' : ' . $p->returnParentId()); } but mine looks more like: $items = $pages->findMany('template=Test'); for ($idx = 0; $idx < 1; $idx++): $p = $items->getPage($idx); echo ($p->identify()); endfor; (Yes, that’s my test system, where I’ve hard-coded it to “loop” through just one test record; it’s sufficient to show the problem though: ProcessWire\TestPage #279 id: 1025 name: 'test-record-a' parent: '' template: 'Test' title: 'Test record A' data: array (1) 'title' => 'Test record A' parent there should = '1'. I see that I can do the same thing by removing getPage() altogether: $p = $items($idx); In the grand scheme of things, I don’t know which is better; however, this assignation — whether implicit or via getPage(), seems to be the final piece: add this, and $this->parent() becomes a NullPage. So, to sum up: all of this works fine in 3.0.150-or-so (where I developed it) on up through 3.0.191. As of .192, it breaks. Switching from findMany() to find() works around the problem. Sticking with findMany() and using the customary foreach() code pattern also works around the problem. Phew! @kongondo, I agree that the commit you link to looks relevant. Do you think the (implicit or explicit) getPage() may call any of that code?
