Hello, Peter. Thanks for the updates — it's clear that you're moving fast and in the right direction. Lots of screenshots, lots of details, it already looks solid. Good luck with the improvements. Take your time, but also don't delay — the potential of the thing is good.

Hello community! I want to share a new module I've been working on that I think could be a big boost for multi-language ProcessWire sites. Fluency is available in the ProcessWire Modules Directory, via Composer, and on Github Some background: I was looking for a way for our company website to be efficiently translated as working with human translators was pretty laborious and a lack of updating content created a divergence between languages. I, and several other devs here, have talked about translation integrations and the high quality services now available. Inspired by what is possible with ProcessWire, I built Fluency, a third-party translation service integration for ProcessWire. With Fluency you can: Translate any plain textarea or text input Translate any TinyMCE or CKEditor (inline, or regular) Translate page names/URLs Translate in-template translation function wrapped strings Translate modules, both core and add-ons Installation and usage is completely plug and play. Whether you're building a new multi-language site, need to update a site to multi-language, or simply want to stop manually translating a site and make any language a one-click deal, it could not be easier to do it. Fluency works by having you match the languages configured in ProcessWire to those offered by the third party translation service you choose. Currently Fluency works with DeepL and Google Cloud Translation. Module Features Translate any multilanguage field while editing any page. Translate fields in Repeater, Repeater Matrix, Table, Fieldset Page, Image descriptions, etc. Translate any file that added in the ProcessWire language pages. It's possible to translate the entire ProcessWire core in ~20 minutes Provide intuitive translation features that your clients and end-users can actually use. Fluency is designed for real-world use by individuals of all skill levels with little to no training. Its ease-of-use helps encourage users to adopt a multilanguage workflow. Start for free, use for free. Translation services supported by Fluency offer generous free tiers that can support regular usage levels. Fluency is, and will always be, free and open source. Use more than one Translation Engine. You may configure Fluency to use either DeepL, Google Cloud Translation, or both by switching between them as desired. AI powered translations that rival humans. DeepL provides the highest levels of accuracy in translation of any service available. Fluency has been used in many production sites around the world and in commercial applications where accuracy matters. Deliver impressive battle-tested translation features your clients can count on. Disable translation for individual fields. Disable translation for multilanguage fields where values aren't candidates for translation such as phone numbers or email addresses Configure translation caching. Caching can be enabled globally so that the same content translated more than once anywhere in ProcessWire doesn't count against your API usage and provides lightning fast responses. Set globally ignored words and text. Configure Fluency to add exclusionary indicators during translation so that specific words or phrases remain untranslated. This works either for specific strings alone, or present in other content while remaining grammatically correct in translation. Choose how translation is handled for fields. Configure Fluency to have buttons for either "Translate from {default language}" on each tab, or "Translate To All Languages" to populate every language for a field from any language to any language you have configured. No language limits. Configure as few or as many languages as you need. 2, 5, 10, 20 language website? Absolutely possible. If the translation service you choose offers a language, you can use it in ProcessWire. When new languages are introduced by third parties, they're ready to use in Fluency. Visually see what fields and language tabs have modified content. Fluency adds an visual indication to each field language tab to indicate which has different content than when opening the edit page. This helps ensure that content updated in one language should be updated in other languages to prevent content divergence between languages. Render language meta tags and ISO codes. Output alt language meta tags, add the current language's ISO code to your <html lang=""> attribute to your templates that are automatically generated from accurate data from the third party translation service. Build a standards-compliant multi-language SEO ready page in seconds with no additional configuration. Render language select elements. - Fluency can generate an unordered list of language links to switch between languages when viewing your pages. You can also embed a <select> element with JS baked in to switch between languages when viewing your pages. Render it without JS to use your own. Manage feature access for users. Fluency provides a permission that can be assigned to user roles for managing who can translate content. Track your translation account usage. View your current API usage, API account limit, and remaining allotment to keep an eye on and manage usage. (Currently only offered by DeepL) Use the global translation tool. Fluency provides translation on each field according to the languages you configure in ProcessWire. Use the global translation tool to translate any content to any language. Use Fluency from your templates and code. All translation features, usage statistics, cache control, and language data are accessible globally from the $fluency object. Perform any operation and get data for any language programmatically wherever you need it. Build custom AJAX powered admin translation features for yourself. Fluency provides a full RESTful API within the ProcessWire admin to allow developers to add new features for ProcessWire applications powered by the same API that Fluency uses. Robust plain-language documentation that helps you get up to speed fast. Fluency is extremely easy to use but also includes extensive documentation for all features both within the admin and for the Fluency programming API via the README.md document. The module code itself is also fully annotated for use with the ProDevTools API explorer. Is and will always be data safe. Adding, upgrading, or removing Fluency does not modify or remove your content. ProcessWire handles your data, Fluency sticks to translating. Full module localization. Translate Fluency itself to any language. All buttons, messages, and UI elements for Fluency will be presented in any language you choose for the ProcessWire admin. Built for expansion. Fluency provides translation services as modular "Translation Engines" with a full framework codebase to make adding new translation services easier and more reliable. Contributions for new translation services are welcome. Fluency is designed and built to provide everything you need to handle incredibly accurate translations and robust tools that make creating and managing multi-language sites a breeze. Built through research on translation plugins from around the web, it's the easiest and most friendly translation implementation for both end users and developers on any CMS/CMF anywhere. Fluency complements the built-in first class language features of ProcessWire. Fluency continues to be improved with great suggestions from the community and real-world use in production applications. Big thanks to everyone who has helped make Fluency better. Contributions, suggestions, and bug reports welcome! Please note that the browser plugin for Grammarly conflicts with Fluency (as it does with many web applications). To address this issue it is recommended that you disable Grammarly when using Fluency, or open the admin to edit pages in a private window where Grammarly may not be loaded. This is a long-standing issue in the larger web development community and creating a workaround may not be possible. If you have insight as to how this may be solved please visit the Github page and file a bugfix ticket. Requirements: ProcessWire 3.0+ UIKit Admin Theme That's Fluency in a nutshell. The Module Is Free This is my first real module and I want to give it back to the community as thanks. This is the best CMS I've worked with (thank you Ryan & contributors) and a great community (thank you dear reader).

Hello friends! I have another module for you, which will make your daily work as a Processwire developer easier. Introducing: AppApi This module helps you to create api-endpoints, to which an app or an external service can connect to. Features Simple routing definition Authentication - Three different authentication-mechanisms are ready to use. Access-management via UI Multiple different applications with unique access-rights and authentication-mechanisms can be defined The documentation has become quite extensive, so have a look at the Github repository for details: Installation Defining Applications Api-Keys PHP-Session (Recommended for on-site usage) Single JWT (Recommended for external server-calls) Double JWT (Recommended for apps) Creating Endpoints Output Formatting Error Handling Example: Listing Users Example: Universal Twack Api Routes Page Handlers File Handlers A special thanks goes to Thomas Aull , whose module RestApi was the starting point to this project. This module is not meant to replace this module because it does a great job. But if you want to connect and manage multiple apps or need other authentication methods, this module might help you. I am already very curious about your feedback and would be glad if the module helps you a little bit.

Good afternoon. My brain is struggling with is and I think it's because I'm nervous about importing 700 user records! I'm been looking at all the importers and I'm just unsure which one would be recommended. I'm using FrontendLoginRegister Module. This works great! This creates a role called Registered. I've also created addition fields to match the imported data. I'm happy to do a slow low number batch like 50 records at a time. The password will be updated when the user effectively uses the forgotten password form with their email for the first-time. // Database names field_user_title field_first_name field_last_name field_elected_year field_member_status field_year_of_birth field_gender_at_birth field_address1 field_address2 field_address3 field_town field_county field_mobile_phone field_home_phone field_username ------------------------------ field_roles - Existing field_pass - Existing field_email - Existing Example data: Title, First Name, Last Name, Email, Home Phone, Mobile Phone, Address 1, Address 2, Postcode, Town, County, Country, Year of Birth, Gender at Birth, Elected Year, Member Status Mr, Mark,Pierce, hello@emal.co.uk, 7834999888, 7834999888,"Flat 5, the elm",111 long street,TQ7 1XX,Totnes, Devon, United Kingdom, 1955, Male, 2020, Visiting Any thoughts and advice on doing this other than a database backup, other good practice etc... 🙂 Many thanks in advance.

Hello friends of PW! i want to check if a fieldset already exists. Using fields->get(fieldsetName) returns NULL. Using get for normal fields works well and return the field requested. PW-Version is 3.0.255 Is there a way to check fieldsets? Thank you for help

Version 3.0.161 on the dev branch continues with the updates optimizing our support for the new selector operators introduced in last week's blog post for 3.0.160. Last week I was still kind of figuring it out and the code still needed some refactoring and optimization. This week several parts have been rewritten and it's been improved quite a bit. Though the end result is still very similar to what was demonstrated last week, but now it's a lot more performant and solid. One thing new this week that's also kind of fun: you can now use more than one operator in any "field=value" selector expression, at least from the API side. And it works anywhere that you might use a selector, whether querying the database or something in memory. I think the best way to explain it is with an example. Let's say that you want to find all pages with a title containing the phrase "hello world" — you'd do this using the "contains text/phrase" operator: *= $pages->find("title*=hello world"); But let's also say that if you don't find any matches, you want to fallback to find any pages that contain the words "hello" and "world" anywhere in the title, in any order. We'd use the "contains all words" operator "~=" to do that. So now you can add that operator to the existing one, and it'll fallback to it if the first operator fails to match. So we'll append the "contains all words" operator to the previous one: ~= $pages->find("title*=~=hello world"); Cool huh? But maybe we still aren't finding any matches, so we want to fallback to something even broader. So if the phrase match fails, and the words match fails, now we want to fallback to find any pages that contain the world "hello" OR "world", rather than requiring them both. For that we can use our new "contains any words" operator: ~|= $pages->find("title*=~=~|=hello world"); This example is getting a bit contrived now, but let's say that if we still haven't found a match, we want it to find any pages that have any words starting with "hello" or "world", so it would find pages with words like "helloes", "worlds", "worldwide", etc. That's a job for our new "contains any partial words" operator: ~|*= $pages->find("title*=~=~|=~|*=hello world"); Okay last one I promise—you probably wouldn't stack this many in real life, but stay with me here. Let's say the query still didn't find anything, and as a final fallback, we want it to find any words LIKE "hello" or "world", so that those terms can match anywhere in words, enabling us to find pages with words like in the previous example, but also words like "phellogen", "othello", "underworld", "otherworldly", etc., and that's a job for our new "contains any words like" operator: ~|%= $pages->find("title*=~=~|=~|*=~|%=hello world"); So that looks like a pretty complex operator there, but as you've seen by following the example, it's just these 5 appended operators to each other: *= Contains phrase ~= Contains all whole words ~|= Contains any whole words ~|*= Contains any partial words ~|%= Contains any words like I think a more likely scenario in a site search is that you might stack two operators, such as the *= followed by the ~|*=, or whatever combination suits your need. By the way, you can do this with any operators, not just the text searching ones. But if you didn't read the blog post last week, also be sure to check out the other new operators in addition to those above: *+=, **=, **+=, ~*=, ~+=, ~~=, ~%=, #=. I think these new operators help out quite a bit with ProcessWire's text searching abilities. But there's one thing that's kind of a common need in search engines that's not easily solved, and that's the handling of singular vs. plural. At least, that's a common issue when it comes to English (I'm assuming so for other languages, but not positive?) MySQL fulltext indexes can't differentiate between singular and plural versions of words, so they index and match them independently as completely different words. This can be unexpected as clients might type in "goose" and expect it's also going to match pages with "geese". I've already got something in the works for this, so stay tuned. Thanks for reading and hope you have a great weekend!

Hello, I tried to install PW on a subdomain. Installation was perfect, all requirements met, all lights green. After installation I got a blank page. No errors whatsoever. I tried to change the php version up and down, no change. I read somewhere here in this forum that htaccess might be to blame, but I did not change the one PW put on my server. I checked also the server log, asked support about it (client denied by server configuration). They say it's up to the User, server is ok. On frontend I got a Fatal Error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Pages' not found in wire/core/ProcessWire.php:575. Removed install.php and install folder. Nothing. Debug in config file is set to true, php version is 7.4 for PW 3.x. Database tables were created. One note, the domain is a third level domain, so abc.mydomain.com etc. Installed PW many times, this time I'm not getting meaningful data from the app. Thank you very much for any hint.

Hello Processwirers, I have been having an issue with the pagination in the PW admin. This issue occurs not on all but on different modules and projects and webservers. I just cannot seem to navigate to any of the other pages in the pager, it just keeps loading endlessly and does not load any content. You can observe the similar behaviour in 2 different projects of mine in the screen recordings below. One occurrence of this bug is within ProTables and another within MediaManager @kongondo (I cannot think of any other ones right now but I think it should be enough to assume that this might not be module specific?). I appreciate any input! 624503113_ScreenRecording2025-04-30at16_30_29 (1).mov 277595338_ScreenRecording2025-04-30at16_18_38 (1).mov

Hello there! I'd love to publish my first ProcessWire module. Please let me know if you have any thoughts regarding the quality, documentation or new features you would like to see. See Github page: https://github.com/MartinMuzatko/TextformatterAutoAnchor/ ProcessWire Module: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/textformatter-auto-anchor/ TextformatterAutoAnchor Automatically add anchors and IDs to Headings What is it doing? This Textformatter adds an id attribute to every heading with a slug of the text. Intended for easily creating linkable sections. Demo Currently it is used at http://www.happy-css.com AutoAnchor in action: http://happy-css.com/lessons/riotjs/reusable-components/ Preview can be seen on Github Configurable Variables Heading Selector Determine which headings you want to have the ID + anchor Use a regex-like range or list, e.g.: 2-6 or 346. Anchor Class Your css classes that are attached to the anchor link. Anchor Content The text for your anchor. If you prefer an icon, you could also use HTML for example. What are the Alternatives? There are existing tools like Anchorific JS but its dependency is jQuery. I love to have an alternative that is PHP only. Known issues Anchors are placed in front of the text. This could be a future configurable setting. The slug is also not configurable yet, currently it is lowercased and space is replaced with hyphens/dashes

Hello! I use .env files on every ProcessWire project to manage environment-specific configurations and settings. I've built a ProcessWire specific utility that makes using .env files a breeze. This post isn't intended to debate .env vs. config.php, use what you're comfortable with and prefer. That said, here are a few benefits to using .env files that may make it worth considering: Native support on web servers, including Apache, they are not served via http request by default True environment based secrets and settings management A standard file widely used and accepted as the method for managing secrets and sensitive values Able to store any value whether sensitive or not and access them globally Building a dedicated solution came from a discussion here on the forums where I threw together a rough implementation that needed little polish for real world use. It makes use of phpdotenv. This utility delivers the following: Easy use of and access to .env variables Caching the parsed .env for performance. This is a significant part of this utility and addresses a known need Automatic .env change recognition and re-caching Utilities to make working with environment variables feel ProcessWire native and a few extra nifty things What it isn't: A module. It's not possible to make a module for this need because the information kept in a .env file needs to be available before ProcessWire boots. Adding this to a new or existing project is very easy. It's designed to implement quickly and use immediately in your projects. Full documentation is provided in the Github repository. Here are a few examples of using this tool: <?php namespace ProcessWire; use Env\Env; if(!defined("PROCESSWIRE")) die(); $env = Env::load(__DIR__ . '/../'); // Make env available throughout the application $config->env = $env; $config->dbName = $env->get('DB_NAME'); $config->dbUser = $env->get('DB_USER'); $config->dbPass = $env->get('DB_PASS'); // Env::get() takes a second argument that is the fallback value if for any reason DEBUG doesn't exist $config->debug = $env->get('DEBUG', false); // Conditional values. By default, if the condition is falsey, Env::if() returns null $config->adminEmail = $env->if('APP_ENV', 'production', 'you@youremail.com'); // A fourth argument will be returned if condition is false, truthy/falsey output can be env var names or specific values $config->adminEmail = $env->if('APP_ENV', 'production', 'ADMIN_EMAIL', 'you@youremail.com'); // Conversely, you can also check if a condition is not met. $config->adminEmail = $env->ifNot('APP_ENV', 'development', 'ADMIN_EMAIL'); // Use one env value to set multiple config properties $config->advanced = $env->if('APP_ENV', 'production', false, 'ENABLE_ADVANCED'); // Never in production, change locally in env as needed $config->adminEmail = $env->ifNot('APP_ENV', 'development', 'ADMIN_EMAIL'); // Never send an email in dev, always on staging/production These helper methods make is very straightforward to implement a dynamic config file. This can be useful for using secure .env values while retaining the ability to commit and upload some types of changes to your config.php file without needing to touch .env values on the server. You can also use Env::pushToConfig(). As long as you use the "screaming snake case" naming convention for your environment variable names, type and value recognition are handled automatically. <?php $env->pushToConfig($config, [ 'usePageClasses' => true, 'templateCompile' => 'TEMPLATE_COMPILE', 'debug' => ['DEBUG', false], // Fallback to false 'advanced' => $env->if('APP_ENV', 'production', false, 'ENABLE_ADVANCED'), 'adminEmail' => $env->ifNot('APP_ENV', 'development', 'ADMIN_EMAIL'), 'httpHosts' => [ 'something.com', 'staging.something.com', 'something.ddev.site' ], ]); Using Env in your application files and templates can be very useful. In the above example we assigned the Env object to $config->env. This lets you access your .env variables globally and use some helpful methods. <?php if ($config->env->eq('APP_ENV', 'development')): ?> <script src="/some/development/stuff.js"></script> <?php endif ?> <?php if (!$config->env->exists('GOOGLE_API_KEY')) { $wire->error('A Google API key could not be loaded from the environment file.'); } try { // Do something that could fail } catch (Exception $e) { $message = $config->env->if('APP_ENV', 'production', 'Oh no. Friendly message here', $e->getMessage()); } This utility also automatically casts 'true' and 'false' values in .env files to booleans, and casts numbers to integers. It also includes several configuration options. I have been using this tool in production and have been happy with it. Maybe you might find it helpful in your projects as well. If you like it, throw a star on the repo. If you run into any bugs, file an issue on Github. I may publish it as a composer package at some point. Env utility for ProcessWIre on Github.

hello. are blind devs welcome here? just a question because we're currently working on something big that needs a codebase easy to work with.

Hello everyone, I’m happy to share a new module I’ve been working on: WireMagnet. We often face the requirement to offer "gated content" (like Whitepapers, PDFs, or Zip files) where users need to provide their email address to receive a download link. While there are external services for this, I wanted a native, privacy-friendly, and lightweight ProcessWire solution. What does WireMagnet do? WireMagnet handles the entire flow of capturing leads and delivering files securely. It intercepts form submissions, logs the lead, and sends an email with a unique, temporary download token. It prevents direct access to the files (assets are not just sitting in a public folder). Key Features: Secure Delivery: Generates unique download tokens (valid for 24 hours) and serves files via wireSendFile(). Double Opt-In (DOI): Optional support for DOI to verify email addresses before sending the file. Automated Emails: Automatically sends the download link (or attaches the file directly if preferred). AJAX Ready: Comes with built-in Alpine.js support for seamless, reload-free form submissions. Lead Management: Logs all subscribers (Email, IP, Timestamp) to a custom database table (leads_archive). Admin Interface: View leads and export them to CSV directly from the ProcessWire backend. Easy Integration: Render the form with a single line of code. How to use: Install the module. Create a page (e.g., using a lead-magnet template) and upload your file to a file field. Output the form in your template: // Render the subscription form (default field: 'lead_file') // The module automatically handles success/error messages and styling. echo $modules->get('WireMagnet')->renderForm($page); // OR: Render for a specific field (e.g., if you have multiple magnets or custom field names) echo $modules->get('WireMagnet')->renderForm($page, 'my_custom_file_field'); // OR: Override the button text manually echo $modules->get('WireMagnet')->renderForm($page, 'lead_file', 'Send me the PDF!'); Configuration: You can configure the sender address, email subject, DOI settings, and styling preferences (like button text) in the module settings. Download & Source: GitHub: https://github.com/markusthomas/WireMagnet Modules Directory: https://processwire.com/modules/wire-magnet/ I'm looking forward to your feedback and suggestions! Cheers, Markus

Hello there! Since I started creating sites with ProcessWire I wished there was a central media management option. You know - a place where you can upload all sorts of data (well, mostly images) to use them throughout the whole website. It is something that nearly every other CMS offers and many clients of me which used Wordpress or Typo3 are used to this kind of media management and it's kind of hard to tell them that this is not possible (in that way) with ProcessWire. I know from the past that there was a Media Manager Module from @kongondo but this module seems not to have been updated in years. Are there any other solutions or techniques that you developers use?

Hello, i am trying to develop a simple Fieldtype module and followed Tutorial on developing a Fieldtype module. I installed the module (Fieldtype and Inputfield) created a field of that type, add such a field to a template and edited a page. After entering values and click save button the method processInput() is invoked but then nothing happens, sleepValue() and wakeupValue() are never invoked, the resulting editor page ends up showing empty entry fields. What i'm getting wrong? <?php namespace ProcessWire; class InputfieldTimeframe extends Inputfield { /** * getModuleInfo is a module required by all modules to tell ProcessWire about them. * Information about your module and some settings and definition of module dependcies * @return array */ public static function getModuleinfo() { return [ 'title' => __('Inputfield Timeframe', __FILE__), 'summary' => __('Inputfield for start date and end date', __FILE__), 'author' => 'T.

I'm trying to work out how to use ProcessWire, but seem to have stumbled at the first. I am copying the steps in the 'Hello Worlds' tutorial here: https://processwire.com/docs/tutorials/hello-worlds/ Having done step 3, when I click view, I don't see the html from the template, I just see the same template as the home page with 'Default content'.

Hello! Which browser your use ? more details if possible

Hello ! 👋 I'm excited to share WireWall, a comprehensive security firewall module I've been developing for ProcessWire. After months of real-world testing on production sites (including blocking 99.98% of malicious traffic on my e-commerce platform), I'm ready to release it to the community. What is WireWall? WireWall is a ProcessWire-native security module that provides enterprise-grade protection with granular geographic and network-level blocking. Unlike traditional firewalls that only block by country, WireWall lets you block by city, region (state/province), VPN/Proxy/Tor, ASN, and more. Key Features Geographic Blocking: City-level blocking - Block specific cities worldwide (e.g., "Philadelphia", "Beijing", "Tokyo") Region blocking - Block entire states/provinces (e.g., "Pennsylvania", "California", "Tokyo Prefecture") Country blocking - Traditional country-level controls with whitelist/blacklist modes Network Protection: VPN/Proxy/Tor detection - Multi-API detection system with intelligent fallback Datacentre detection - Block AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, and other hosting providers ASN blocking - Block entire autonomous systems by ASN number Rate limiting - Per-IP rate limits with automatic temporary bans AI bot blocking - Automatically block GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and other AI scrapers Performance & Scalability: File-based cache - Scales to 1M+ IPs with zero database overhead Lightning-fast lookups - 0.5-2ms with MaxMind databases HTTP fallback - Works without MaxMind databases (though less performant) Smart caching - GeoIP cached for 30 days, VPN checks for 7 days Developer-Friendly: Priority-based system - 14 security layers evaluated in order JavaScript challenge - Detect and block headless browsers Comprehensive logging - Debug mode with detailed request information Cache management UI - Built-in interface to view stats and clear cache Triple admin protection - Logged-in users, IP whitelist, admin area bypass Real-World Results On my e-commerce site (LQRS.com), WireWall has been running for several months with impressive results: 99.98% blocking rate - Nearly all malicious traffic blocked Zero false positives - Legitimate customers unaffected Significant reduction in AWS/cloud-based automated attacks Complete elimination of VPN/proxy fraud attempts Installation cd /site/modules/ git clone https://github.com/mxmsmnv/WireWall.git Then in ProcessWire admin: Modules → Refresh Install WireWall Configure your blocking rules You're protected! How It Works - Priority System WireWall processes every request through 14 prioritised security layers: Admin Area → ALLOW (ProcessWire admin always accessible) IP Whitelist → ALLOW (manual whitelist bypass) Rate Limiting → BLOCK (excessive requests) IP Blacklist → BLOCK (permanent blocks) JavaScript Challenge → CHALLENGE (suspicious requests) VPN/Proxy/Tor → BLOCK (anonymous services) Datacentre Detection → BLOCK (cloud hosting) ASN Blocking → BLOCK (autonomous systems) Global Rules → BLOCK (known patterns) Country Blocking → BLOCK (country rules) City Blocking → BLOCK (city rules) Region Blocking → BLOCK (region rules) Country-specific Rules → BLOCK (custom rules) Default → ALLOW ✓ First match wins - once a rule triggers, evaluation stops. MaxMind Integration WireWall works best with MaxMind GeoLite2 databases (free): GeoLite2-Country.mmdb - Country detection GeoLite2-City.mmdb - City and region detection GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb - Network/ISP detection Without MaxMind, it falls back to ip-api.com HTTP API (slower, with rate limits). City and region blocking require the MaxMind City database. Download MaxMind databases from: https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite2-free-geolocation-data Technical Details ProcessWire: 3.0.200 or higher PHP: 8.1 or higher Optional: MaxMind GeoLite2 databases (Country, ASN, City) Optional: Composer (for MaxMind GeoIP2 library) Why Another Firewall Module? I needed something specifically for ProcessWire that: Scales efficiently - File-based cache handles millions of IPs without database bloat Provides granular control - City and region blocking isn't available in other solutions Works offline - MaxMind databases work without external API calls Integrates natively - Built specifically for ProcessWire's architecture Stays free - Open source, no premium tiers or upsells Other solutions like Wordfence (WordPress), Sucuri (paid service), and ModSecurity (server-level) either don't integrate well with ProcessWire or lack the geographic granularity needed for fraud prevention.

Hello y'll, I so happy introduce technical template for ai generate templates on Tailwind from ProcessWire fields. How to work: Select templates you want to design interfaces for Copy the generated JSON structure Ask AI to "Create a Tailwind CSS design for displaying this ProcessWire data" Specify any preferences like: mobile-first, card layout, table layout, etc. Push button "Copy Prompt" Insert prompt to Claude AI, ChatGPT or another ai services. How to Setup: Use ftp for transfer lego.php to template folder On ProcessWire create template with same name. Create new page with select template. Enjoy. Note: It is not always possible to generate a template from the first time, but by debugging you can make even more or less excellent variants. On example screenshot finish page with adjusting elements, blocks on Tailwind. If you have questions or wishes ask me below. Thank you. UPDs: 04/14 Update prompt lego.php

Hello @maximus Thanks for sharing! I will certainly give it a shot. Side note: the guys at LEGO "can get furious" when someone else uses their trademark in a way they consider inappropriate. As long as it is for something personal, that should be legally fine. I am not a lawyer, but letting us download your file in a forum post like this should be considered to be "for personal purposes". If you were to turn it into a "product" then that would be a different matter.

Hello, i have question how to make square images. I am developing an alcohol online storefront and in it I need to implement square images of bottles - so that they visually all look the same. Right now I am using the following code to position and create the images. The code works great and generates square images. BUT! When I try to add webp support <a href="<?=$large->webp->url?>"><img src="<?=$thumb->webp->url?>" class="pt-2" alt="<?=$page->title?>" width="64" height="64"></a> <?php endforeach; ?> code nothing works. There is a crop image function, but no function to position the image centered with the background added. How to implement this as simple as possible, using core functions and adding webp support ?

Hello all! There's a new version of Fluency and a critical update announcement for all DeepL users. Fluency 2.2.0 has just been released and is a critical update for all users of Fluency that employ DeepL as their translation service. As mentioned above, DeepL is deprecating their previous method of API authentication on January 15, 2025. This means that all Fluency versions less than 2.2.0 that are using DeepL will no longer translate content. Upgrading from Fluency 1.8.0 or earlier requires a complete uninstall/reinstall. The module will have to be configured again, so note your API key if you don't have access to it otherwise. This will not result in any content loss. Fluency 2.2.0 also brings additional features and bugfixes. These include compatibility with AdminThemUikit v3 and its theming customization abilities. Fluency also now uses CSS custom properties so it is possible to customize it separately. This release also includes a fix for an issue that may affect saving content in RockPageBuilder fields mentioned earlier in this thread. For full notes on changes and improvements see the Github release page. If you have any trouble with the module please report them here, filing an issue on Github is helpful as well. Thank you all for your feedback and ongoing support. Additional thanks to the developers who have donated via PayPal, always appreciated!

Hey hello, Is it possible to get this link to the parent to lead to the actual parent instead of going to the overview? The thing is the overview contains thousands of pages, and it shows the first 30 or so in the tree-view, so you loose track of wher you are. If there is a way to get this link to open up the actual edit page of the parent event instead that would be amazing tx, J
