I just noticed that the added items in/under "Add New" are sorted by their template-name. As you can see, on the screenshot below, these "names" differ sometimes to their "labels". Kategorie => category Artikel => post Schlagwort => tag For such kind of cases, it would reallynice if we could sort them manually. That we can sort them by their labels or what ever... Artikel => post Kategorie => category Schlagwort => tag As surprising pw is, this is already possible, somehow?

I'm trying to figure out a way how I can allow a client query and generate lists via the admin and not via de frontend where I would have to build templates and use the API to query and generate data. For a bit of back story: the client will be able to create study courses via de admin. Visitors will be able to sign up for a course via de frontend and the details will be written to the database via de API. Visitors who have signed up will have a status: pending approval, pending payment, approved or declined. The client will be able to edit the status via de admin. I'd like for him to be able to query the data via de admin and generate lists (search results), sort of in the way you might build frontend templates that are only accessible for the signed in admin users but then within the admin itself. I've searched modules and the forum but haven't found anything concrete. Any ideas would be appreciated!

I'd like to see better Hanna Code management and I think 4 things could greatly assist. 1 - Tags to be able to tag a piece of Hanna Code in the same manner as we tag templates. We could then see the list of Hanna Codes arranged in the same format as templates. IE broken down by tag. 2 - Usage On the Hanna Code list i'd also like to see a column called Pages (and Templates?) telling me how many pages and templates use my Hanna Code. Again, similar to the Templates layout. 3 - Filter / Find The Find page has a tab called Filters for searching by template, field etc etc. In fact, I can filter by almost anything except Hanna Codes. 4 - Descriptions To be able to add a plain text description to a Hanna Code. I try to name my HCs in a helpful way such as Get-Video Get-Investor-News etc Sometimes I have several variations of the above and I'd like an at-a-glance way to distinguish them without having to click into the HC or at least be able to see the description once I've clicked in. Anyone else feel the same or do I use HC more than most?

So far I have seen that you can only allow superuser to manage roles, however I don't need the admin of the site managing everything else. I need to add a permission to allow them to add roles if needed and delete roles if needed.. Basically control roles. Any thoughts on accomplishing this?

Is there a somewhat comprehensive guide or tutorial somewhere on theming the PW admin? There's so much untapped potential there I just don't know really where to start to learn my way around it. If not, would anyone care to create one? I know I would greatly appreciate it, as would many more users. There are no admin themes in the modules directory currently that claim to be compatible with 2.5. That would probably change with a solid beginner's guide.

Hi, is it somehow possible to add new users as children of other users? I want to group users and thought that would be a nice structure to have groups of users put together as children of other users. Basically like: Users Group A User 1 User 2 User 3 Group B User 4 User 5 User 6 User 7 ... I edited the user template to be able to have children and parents of user-templates - yet, whenever I add a child to a user it automatically will be appended to the 'Users' page. Also I cant move them from there, it says "You do not have permission to move pages using this parent - /backend/access/users/group-a/" Couldn't find a solution so far - I think there is some intention behind it, because it is some admin/system stuff - but couldn't it be made possible? -Steffen

Hi everyone, I have searched a lot but unfortunately I didn't find anything on this use case: I have created a custom page within the admin section. The page's template is admin. Now I want to give access to editors to access this page - but this access is controlled by the admin template. What is the best approach to give access to a custom admin page without making the user a superuser/admin? Any help is appreciated!

Hello all! I'm Andrea and I'm new in PW world. Lovely place, i like it! It's the perfect hook between cms and framework! But now, we come to the question. - It's possible to duplicate (throught .append() jquery method) the form section in backend admin panel? (i.e. http://tristandenyer.com/using-jquery-to-duplicate-a-section-of-a-form-maintaining-accessibility/) I created a form backend, allowing the user to enter information, but I would like to duplicate a section (the section name products). - is there the possibility of generating a .jpg or .pdf from a php page? Sorry for my bad english guys !

Hi there, I've created this sample home page As you can see there are some repeating parts (wide image, heading etc.) but they are all followed by a part that differs from the rest. Notice also that the top wide image is higher than the other two. For the images I use the CroppableImage module (it's in alpha but so far it looks stable). For my client I want the admin as simple, intuitive and logical as possible. What would be the best practice to set up the back-end template. Thanks Alfred

Hello! First of all, I am really looking forward to have lively conversations with you all, and becoming skilled with PW, I think this might be exactly what I have been looking for. Last month I decided to learn code, registered myself at codecademy, completed the HTML and CSS tracks, and recently have been producing some nice one-pagers with Foundation. This morning I watched the two episode Philipp Reiner special on how easy it is to simply copy-paste the HTML into PW, and then make the necessary changed to have it dynamic. --- Now, I installed PW in a subdir: 'www.rinaldi.nl/projects/pw' and for some reason it shows the Default template, but clicking on the admin link does not bring me to the admin login. I have done everything in the troubleshoot guide, I have mod_rewrite enabled, uncommented the rewritebase /pw/, etc. The only thing I haven't tried yet, is to start all over again with a clean install. But maybe this isn't necessary(?). Is there anything else that I have to take into account? Thank you.

I made a calendar view page in the admin using AdminCustomPages module, but since I want to add more functionality to it I am trying to make it (the calendar) its own module... So I have a module ProcessKalendar that extends Process and implements Module, ConfigurableModule. It creates the Kalendar page on installation and currently just outputs the input of the one config field for the module on that page on execution. I need to add scripts and stylesheets... How do I do this within the module?

Hi, My site is 'www.peterdekeer.be', the admin is currently installed under /processwire/. Is it possible to install it under 'admin.peterdekeer.be'? I read a few weeks ago about the admin that it's possible to couple it somewhat looser. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thx

Hi folks, Quick one. Is it possible to add a favicon to the admin/CMS area? Without messing with anything core? Thanks, R

Hello, i am using version 2.5 of PW and trying to hide settings tab on user role webmaster (which is my defied role) i have use bellow code <?php class AdminHelperHooks extends WireData implements Module { public static function getModuleInfo() { return array( 'title' => 'My Admin Helper Hooks', 'version' => 1, 'singular' => true, 'autoload' => true ); } public function init() { // add hook to the page edit module and the method that creates the wanted fieldset $this->addHookAfter('ProcessPageEdit::buildFormRoles', $this, "removeSettings"); } function removeSettings(HookEvent $event){ // check what role the user has, if not has editor role do nothing if(!wire("user")->hasRole("webmaster")) return; // $event->return being the inputfield wrapper $wrapper = $event->return; // set the inputfield wrapper to hidden $wrapper->collapsed = Inputfield::collapsedHidden; // we're done } } in site/modules/AdminHelperHooks/AdminHelperHooks.module also i install the module but when i login as user using webmaster group i can see settings tab. how i hide page setting tab for this type of user ? Thanks

I just installed a fresh copy of PW 2.5.3 and the admin looks different now than it did even when I installed it. The font is slightly larger, and there is a new link alongside every page in the Page List, together with the "edit", "view", "new", and "move": "edit template"? Also the additional info in the Page List is formatted funky: , [model.title: L380 | model_year: 2006 | listing_status.title: For Sale] Anyone know why this might be...

How do you guys go about designing custom admin areas for your websites/applications, for when the default page tree just isn't practical? Do you customize the actual admin area provided for client users that hides all the things they aren't concerned with, or do you just create a new admin area altogether, as you would any other frontend template, but with protected access? so as to not hack up the admin too much and leave it intact? What do you all prefer to do for your custom admin UI? I feel like the latter would be much quicker and easy with the API. Thoughts?

What happens when you have many - dozens, hundreds, ... - child pages in the tree, like typically 'posts' for a page 'blog'? Can you put them under their own management section on the top admin bar/masthead? How? Or will that happen automatically? This question has probably been answered many times in many different ways, but I am probably using the wrong search terms. Or it is something painfully obvious that I am overlooking. Don't know where to start with this. ProcessWire is great btw! Seems to get everything right that Wordpress got wrong.

I updated an installation from 2.4.9 to 2.5.10 and now on every page in admin the update messages fill up the whole screen and won't go away. I simply replaced the wire dir, the .htaccess and the index.php. Any Ideas? Thanks

Hello there. Since this is my first post in these forums: Thank you Ryan for ProcessWire and thanks to everyone that is supporting him or other users. I'm having a strange problem using $image->description. When I'm logged in as the default user I registered during install everything's working as expected. $image->description returns the string provided in the backend. Anyways if not logged in, an empty string will be returned resulting in <img src="url-is-still-working" alt="">. I don't really know whats going on. Might be a bug? Here's some code: $slides = ''; foreach ( $page->slideshow_images as $image ) { $slides .= '<li><img src="' . $image->url . '" alt="' . $image->description . '"></li>'; } I'm running ProcessWire 2.5.3.

Hi folks, I have a bit of an odd question, but I'm assuming it's related to something I have/haven't changed upon moving my local build to a live server. Everything, locally, works 100% and I have encountered no problems at all, but sometimes, when logging into the admin, the stylesheets/js will break and I'll get a broken page (see image below) – sometimes it happens, sometimes not and the page it happens on varies as well. The thing is, once it's happened, I can't return to the unbroken site until I save over the config.php file. Or, after a few refreshes it returns back. Odd, right? Looking in the error console on devtools, it states: Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined sheffieldculture.co.uk.s141188.gridserver.com/:205 Uncaught ReferenceError: initPageEditForm is not defined This makes me think that the jQuery is failing to load... Any thoughts/similar issues?

Hi guys, I'd like to center the admin login form. Here's how it is now: http://api.drp.io/files/5442717971fe5.png Any suggestions on how to center it? I've tried to do it but it broke all the responsive layout... I guess my css skills are a bit rusty...

After upgrading a site to 2.5, i can no longer access the admin modules page, i get redirected to a 404 page. I'm not really sure how to fix this, and wondering if anyone has some tips or ideas where to start... one idea i had was to export the whole site with the site profile export and then install on a clean 2.5, hoping that would sort out whatever snafu has occurred.. Edit: was being caused by the page edit per role module...

Hello, I think that an option inside templates that could limit the number of childrens that a page could have, maybe is useful in certains conditions. it´s that possible or I have to rely on hooks? thanks.

I was looking for a way to group fields within the admin today and came across this wiki entry which does just that http://wiki.processwire.com/index.php/Template_Tabs IE have fields nested under certain categories when editing a page such as General Content (heading/category) Summary (nested field) Body (nested field) Featured Content (heading/category) Homepage images (nested field) Homepage summary (nested field) I was wondering if there were plans to make this a little more straightforward and perhaps use Categories or Tags. We already use Tags to group fields on the main fields (admin >setup >fields) and could this be extended slightly?

Hello guys I'm new here! I've been working on this website that I've made with Foundation. I wanted to put a CMS in it so now i'm here! On my localhost the website works perfect. I've adjusted the Processwire CMS to my wishes and with /login I and other users would be able to change the texts on the website. So I thought I was ready to put it live. I exported the MySQL files. Created a new db. Imported everything. And via an FTP client uploaded all the files. The homepage works fine. But now whenever I want to login using /login which I changed /processwire to I get a 404 error: Not FoundThe requested URL /login was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. What am I doing wrong here? I've checked a lot of messages on this forum about the .htaccess file but I haven't got it to work yet and need help from more experienced PW users:) This is my website: http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Access Restrictions: Protect ProcessWire system files # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Block access to any htaccess files RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)\.htaccess$ [NC,OR] # Block access to protected assets directories RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/assets/(cache|logs|backups|sessions|config|install|tmp)($|/.*$) [OR] # Block acceess to the /site/install/ directory RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/install($|/.*$) [OR] # Block dirs in /site/assets/ dirs that start with a hyphen RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/assets.*/-.+/.* [OR] # Block access to /wire/config.php, /site/config.php, /site/config-dev.php, and /wire/index.config.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(wire|site|site-[^/]+)/(config|index\.config|config-dev)\.php$ [OR] # Block access to any PHP-based files in /templates-admin/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(wire|site|site-[^/]+)/templates-admin($|/|/.*\.(php|html?|tpl|inc))$ [OR] # Block access to any PHP or markup files in /site/templates/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/templates($|/|/.*\.(php|html?|tpl|inc))$ [OR] # Block access to any PHP files in /site/assets/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/assets($|/|/.*\.php)$ [OR] # Block access to any PHP files in core or core module directories RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)wire/(core|modules)/.*\.(php|inc|tpl|module)$ [OR] # Block access to any PHP files in /site/modules/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(site|site-[^/]+)/modules/.*\.(php|inc|tpl|module)$ [OR] # Block access to any software identifying txt files RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)(COPYRIGHT|INSTALL|README|htaccess)\.(txt|md)$ [OR] # Block all http access to the default/uninstalled site-default directory RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (^|/)site-default/ # If any conditions above match, isssue a 403 forbidden RewriteRule ^.*$ - [F,L] # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Ensure that the URL follows the name-format specification required by ProcessWire # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "^/~?[-_.a-zA-Z0-9/]*$" # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # If the request is for a file or directory that physically exists on the server, # then don't give control to ProcessWire, and instead load the file # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !(favicon\.ico|robots\.txt) # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # OPTIONAL: Prevent ProcessWire from attempting to serve images or anything in /site/assets/. # Both of these lines are optional, but can help to reduce server load.
