Hi there, Currently I'm facing some issues in the admin, when I try to edit a page refuses the connection and when I check the chrome developer console I find a "Failed to load resource" error and page isn't loading I'm running PW over a hosting service if this is a useful info.

Hi there, In a fresh install of PW, I'm getting this behavior a repeated section of the templates admin section. could anyone help me? thanks in advance Gracias.

I've just installed PW on Media Temple Grid server using an exported site profile, and for some odd reason, some of the pages in the Admin are not loading the header and footer into the page. This appears to be random. For instance, I just verified that the /processwire/access/ page was loading properly, but after visiting it again, it only loads the following: <dl class='nav'> <dt><a class='label' href='/processwire/access/users/'>Users</a></dt> <dd>Manage system users</dd> <dt><a class='label' href='/processwire/access/roles/'>Roles</a></dt> <dd>Manage user roles and what permissions are attached</dd> <dt><a class='label' href='/processwire/access/permissions/'>Permissions</a></dt> <dd>Manage system permissions</dd> </dl> And then after refreshing the page, it loads properly with header and footer in place. However, any page that I edit displays the Admin page without the header and footer. I installed the site using a fresh copy of PW, substituting only modules, templates, and install folders. In fact, I've done this twice, with the same results. At first I thought it might be a permissions problem, but it doesn't seem like that would produce random results. Anyone have any ideas? I couldn't find reference to this problem in the forums.

Hi, i have a problem with the repeaters; i can't delete or modify the item from a repeater; when i delete de repeater field from the page and then add again some of the value have still present. i dont understand this error. what can i do?

Hi, im trying to play with the repeaters; i read the excellent tutorial on this page and made some groups for a project but i have a few questions. Is possible to every item for a repeater (item) be collapsed in the panel admin? Is possible change the title for the row, to know his content without need to click then? Regards.

I've been looking at PHP frameworks and considering learning one to make apps. I've been reading some Laravel tutorials and it seems like even I could propably make some simple apps in it But then I thought it might be possible and easier with ProcessWire. Here's my question. Is it possible to have a login form as your homepage which redirects you to a custom page where I can have complete control of the output? Lets say I wanted to create a simple todo app. There would only be a list of items and a create new/delete buttton. This would make all the database, field, users management so much more convenient compared to other frameworks. If this is possible please point me to some tutorials or code examples if you've done something similar yourself. Thanks.

I built a simple Processwire website about a year ago. Recently the client asked me if I would make some changes, and I have not been able to get the login page. I'm not sure what's going on. I know for a fact that I didn't change the standard login url, but when I go to the domain url and add /processwire to the end of it I simply get redirected to the site. I confirmed that the login url is correct by looking at my master sheet of logins and passwords, so I know it's the right page, but it won't load. I wonder if it matters that the site is installed on a subfolder? So the url looks like this: masterurl.com/sitefolder/processwire. I've been able to make the changes the clients wanted by directly editing the database but I need to be able to log in and work on the website. Any ideas? cheers

Hi, I'm new to Processwire and I have to say that after reading through your forum and some of your tutorials I have taken the plunge and installed PW and quite like the CMF/CMS that you have developed and congratulate you and your communities efforts to date. I have come up against a problem when trying to develop between multiple environments i.e. dev, staging, production. The problem I am facing is that after doing and ProcessWire 2.2.13 installation (without problems) on my dev environment and then I move the site to staging or another developers environment, when I try to login to the Administration area I get a error "Unable to generate password hash". I have tried to empty cache, both browser and physical files and still get the error message and I can't login to the control panel. My Staging environments is running Apache 2 and PHP 5.2.17 (can't upgrade to 5.3 or 5.4 due to another cms legacy issue) and my Dev environment runs on MAMP 2.0 with Apache 2 and PHP 5.2.17 also. I have checked AMP logs and can't see anything out of the ordinary there. Just wondering if I'm missing anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Sambo.

This post is like these two but I've not been able to fix my problem reading those threads (perhaps partly because I don't fully understand some of the exchanges as they skip past things I am not familiar with). With debug turned on, when I try to login I am getting (domain and password substituted out): TEMPLATEFILE : UNABLE TO GENERATE PASSWORD HASH #0 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/PASSWORD.PHP(33): PASSWORD->HASH('MY-PASSWORD') #1 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/SESSION.PHP(310): PASSWORD->MATCHES('MY-PASSWORD') #2 [INTERNAL FUNCTION]: SESSION->___AUTHENTICATE(OBJECT(USER), 'MY-PASSWORD') #3 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(271): CALL_USER_FUNC_ARRAY(ARRAY, ARRAY) #4 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(229): WIRE->RUNHOOKS('AUTHENTICATE', ARRAY) #5 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/SESSION.PHP(262): WIRE->__CALL('AUTHENTICATE', ARRAY) #6 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/SESSION.PHP(262): SESSION->AUTHENTICATE(OBJECT(USER), 'MY-PASSWORD') #7 [INTERNAL FUNCTION]: SESSION->___LOGIN('ADMIN', 'MY-PASSWORD') #8 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(271): CALL_USER_FUNC_ARRAY(ARRAY, ARRAY) #9 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(229): WIRE->RUNHOOKS('LOGIN', ARRAY) #10 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/MODULES/PROCESS/PROCESSLOGIN/PROCESSLOGIN.MODULE(77): WIRE->__CALL('LOGIN', ARRAY) #11 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/MODULES/PROCESS/PROCESSLOGIN/PROCESSLOGIN.MODULE(77): SESSION->LOGIN('ADMIN', 'MY-PASSWORD') #12 [INTERNAL FUNCTION]: PROCESSLOGIN->___EXECUTE() #13 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(271): CALL_USER_FUNC_ARRAY(ARRAY, ARRAY) #14 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(229): WIRE->RUNHOOKS('EXECUTE', ARRAY) #15 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/PROCESSCONTROLLER.PHP(194): WIRE->__CALL('EXECUTE', ARRAY) #16 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/PROCESSCONTROLLER.PHP(194): PROCESSLOGIN->EXECUTE() #17 [INTERNAL FUNCTION]: PROCESSCONTROLLER->___EXECUTE() #18 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(271): CALL_USER_FUNC_ARRAY(ARRAY, ARRAY) #19 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(229): WIRE->RUNHOOKS('EXECUTE', ARRAY) #20 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/ADMIN.PHP(45): WIRE->__CALL('EXECUTE', ARRAY) #21 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/ADMIN.PHP(45): PROCESSCONTROLLER->EXECUTE() #22 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/SITE/TEMPLATES-ADMIN/CONTROLLER.PHP(13): REQUIRE('/VAR/WWW/VHOSTS...') #23 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/SITE/TEMPLATES/ADMIN.PHP(13): REQUIRE('/VAR/WWW/VHOSTS...') #24 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/TEMPLATEFILE.PHP(125): REQUIRE('/VAR/WWW/VHOSTS...') #25 [INTERNAL FUNCTION]: TEMPLATEFILE->___RENDER() #26 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(271): CALL_USER_FUNC_ARRAY(ARRAY, ARRAY) #27 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(229): WIRE->RUNHOOKS('RENDER', ARRAY) #28 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/MODULES/PAGERENDER.MODULE(250): WIRE->__CALL('RENDER', ARRAY) #29 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/MODULES/PAGERENDER.MODULE(250): TEMPLATEFILE->RENDER() #30 [INTERNAL FUNCTION]: PAGERENDER->___RENDERPAGE(OBJECT(HOOKEVENT)) #31 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(271): CALL_USER_FUNC_ARRAY(ARRAY, ARRAY) #32 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(229): WIRE->RUNHOOKS('RENDERPAGE', ARRAY) #33 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(293): WIRE->__CALL('RENDERPAGE', ARRAY) #34 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(293): PAGERENDER->RENDERPAGE(OBJECT(HOOKEVENT)) #35 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(229): WIRE->RUNHOOKS('RENDER', ARRAY) #36 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/MODULES/PROCESS/PROCESSPAGEVIEW.MODULE(97): WIRE->__CALL('RENDER', ARRAY) #37 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/MODULES/PROCESS/PROCESSPAGEVIEW.MODULE(97): PAGE->RENDER() #38 [INTERNAL FUNCTION]: PROCESSPAGEVIEW->___EXECUTE() #39 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(271): CALL_USER_FUNC_ARRAY(ARRAY, ARRAY) #40 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/WIRE/CORE/WIRE.PHP(229): WIRE->RUNHOOKS('EXECUTE', ARRAY) #41 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/INDEX.PHP(192): WIRE->__CALL('EXECUTE', ARRAY) #42 /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/EXAMPLE.COM/HTTPDOCS/INDEX.PHP(192): PROCESSPAGEVIEW->EXECUTE() #43 {MAIN} So far I have: replaced /wire/ with a fresh 2.3 copy set /site/assets/cache/ plus all contents to 777 set /site/assets/sessions/ plus all contents to 777 installed a copy of PW 2.3 in a sub-domain and checked it can login OK (server environment check) and all OK I am able to update the site by updating locally and then export/importing the database.

Hello I want to know how I have to translate these texts I've marked in red in the below image: I've found these texts in wire\modules\Inputfield\InputfieldPage\InputfieldPage.module but as this module did not have files with .json or .zip extension, I can't load the texts I want to translate on Admin > Setup > Languages How I should translate them? Thanks

As an early foray into PW, I've been porting over a WP site I built not too long ago. Needless to say it's been pretty amazing so far and I'm excited to keep going. The way the selectors work is a dream compared to WP, even if PW is in its infancy when it comes to the admin interface. Now, there are probably more bad WordPress developers out there than good ones, and I know this having spent the past five years working in WP and making the transition, but one thing WP does have down right is the clear separation of content types in the Dashboard: Content types like Pages/Posts/Custom Post Types with taxonomies are organized differently than Menus or Sidebars & Widgets, and so on. By this I mean, visually, of course: that is, I go to a different part of the admin to administrate different types of data, and my experience with clients I've built installations for is that this visual separation of content makes sense to them, often without my having to explain anything when I release a build. This is of course as compared to say, the way Drupal organizes its content in the admin, which only ever gives clients headaches. Anyway, I want to experiment with the Ergo admin theme and see what complexities are involved in adding new tabs to the main menu, potentially to create the illusion that specific pages and/or trees of pages are stored in separate parts of the PW admin. Has there been any talk in the forums about this? If anyone can point me to discussions you've come across, that'd be great.

Hi I m new to processwire and I found it very interesting and powerful. I want to make a forum with great admin power and great spam control system. I want a 1) custom admin for end client 2) login/resister with captcha, activate using email verification and restrict registration using regular expression on username and email. 3) members can post topic but it will unpublished until moderator publish it. 4) has sections - category - topics/replays. 5) admin can delete/block multiple users and it will delete their topics. Any advice/guidance/feedback would be greatly appreciated THANKS.

Hello again. I'd want to customize the admin for my client. My intention is to hide one panel for one specific user. Information related to users/roles I wouldn't want be visible, so... How should you do if I want to hide "Who can access this page?" panel in Setting page for one specific user? Should I do it through .css instead? This is the panel (red) I want to hide: Any clue will be welcome Ps: Sorry, the title should be "How to hide 'who can access this page?' section", but I didn't find how change it

I am trying out ProcessWire for the first time and I have installed everything. I can get into the admin panel and edit. The problem I am have it when I try to open up templates via FTP. I get the following error: Could not change directory to “/www/processwiredev/site-default/templates”. Server said: Can't change directory to /www/processwiredev/site-default/templates: No such file or directory Error -125: remote chdir failed I am able to get into these files when I use my webhosts file manager, just not via FTP. It does appear I am able to get into and edit the readme file and license files /site-default via FTP, but nothing else If I tried to change permissions it shows as 000 in FTP only. BTW: I am using Coda to access this. Any ideas?

I've now twice noticed a problem after I deployed a version to a live server. For example the top buttons in Admin. Usually they are in the order: Pages Setup Modules Access Only when I pushed everyting (incl database export) live the order seems to have changed to Pages Modules Setup Access I also noticed a simple selector seems to ignore the sort I used, and used I think the ID for sorting. It was a critical moment so I quick-hacked a sort after the selector got it results, and thus was not able to get the source ot the problem. The production server uses CentOS with Php 5.2.17 and MySQL 5.0.51a Before I lose hours in debugging and testing, maybe anyone has noticed the same issues and already figured out what was wrong?

Hello, I need to customize admin panel for special requirements. Basically I've a theatre seat chart which is being generated by repeater field which adds rows to seat chart. Every theatre has a seat chart which is unique. Right now, I can display seat chart of any theatre by simply using theatre's id to pull the seat chart. But my requirement is that this seat chart for each theatre should be visible on the admin side so that I can perform further operations on it as a superuser before making it publicly visible. I understand that perhaps I'll need to add a page to admin side but I'd like to know if this is the right way or what other proper way can be to accomplish the given requirement. Thank you all.

Here's a proof of concept PW Admin Theme Switcher (video and write-up). It shows how versatile PW is. Since everything in the PW tree is a page, including Admin this was easy to do. I think on the roadmap PW will eventually allow switching between Admin Themes? Anyway, here's how I did it (verbosity below is intentional ). This is not a module but can easily be converted into one. Currently, I don't plan to do so since I suspect it will be overtaken by events (roadmap). Instead, I used the excellent Admin Custom Pages (ACP) module. On load, PW will first check if there is an admin template at /site/templates-admin. If there is none, it will check in /wire/templates-admin/. The file it looks for first is /site/templates-admin/default.php 1. I copied the contents of /wire/templates-admin/ to /site-templates-admin/ 2. I modified the contents of default.php as shown below in order to use it as a controller file $theme = $pages->get(1424)->theme_selector;//id of admin theme switcher page (the child page) include($config->paths->adminTemplates . "{$theme->name}/default.php"); 3. In order to use ACP in PW 2.3, you have to create a parent and child page. The child page will be rendered in the Admin. 4. I created pages under Admin as follows: Admin Theme Switcher Admin Themes (id#1424) Default Teflon Moderna, etc. 5. Admin Theme Switcher has nothing of interest. It just enables me to render its child page in PW Admin. Admin Themes has a single Page Reference Field from which only its children can be selected. This field is called theme_selector. Its reference value is the ID of whatever child page of Admin Themes is selected. 6. Default, Teflon, etc., have various fields to hold data about the themes - author, version, description, screenshot, etc. I populated these as needed. 7. In the above code (#3), 2nd line, I am telling PW where the default.php is. I am appending the name of the selected child page of Admin Themes. Hence, if the current selected page is Minimalist Blue, its PW name, minimalist-blue is included as part of the path. This means I need to create a corresponding folder at that path. 8. I grabbed all my themes in their respective folders including all their files and copied them to /site/templates-admin/. This ensured that there would be no conflict having multiple themes in /site/templates-admin/ folder. I also copied the default PW theme with all its files into a folder called default. I ended up with a structure like this: /site/templates-admin/default/ /site/templates-admin/teflon/ /site/templates-admin/moderna/ /site/templates-admin/appy/ etc. 9. Of course since the themes were now in sub-folders, paths in their respective default.php would be wrong. I needed to change this, e.g. in /sites/templates-admin/teflon/default.php, I changed the paths as follows: $config->styles->append($config->urls->adminTemplates . "teflon/styles/ui.css?v=2"); $config->scripts->append($config->urls->adminTemplates . "teflon/scripts/inputfields.js"); $config->scripts->append($config->urls->adminTemplates . "teflon/scripts/main.js?v=2"); $config->styles->append($config->urls->adminTemplates . "teflon/styles/droppy.css") <?php include($config->paths->adminTemplates . "teflon/topnav.inc"); ?> 10. Now that all is set up, there's two ways to change the current Admin theme: a. The template file of Admin Themes has a foreach that loops through its child pages (the theme pages) and outputs the meta data in a I column Grid. Each item has a radio input field to select the theme. On save, jQuery Ajax sends the single value (ID of selected theme) to a simple processor file. The processor file updates the value of the single Page Reference Field (theme_selector) using PW API. Via JSON, the processor then tells jQuery if update was successful and page is reloaded. b. Alternatively, the theme can be changed by editing the Admin Themes page, selecting a child page (theme) using the single Page Reference Field (theme_selector) and saving. PW will auto-reload the page, applying the new theme. As you can see, there is no rocket science here.....just an amazing CMS

what I need to do is add <a href="javascript:pixlr.overlay.show({image:'path/to/image.jpg', title:'image name'});"><img src="path/to/image.jpg" width="250" height="150" title="Edit in pixlr" /></a> around any images that are uploaded. So when you have an image in the admin side it can be edited via pixlr. I have successfully loaded the required scripts that this requires but need to know where to add the href wrapper (see above) if I can call it that.

I'm getting my feet wet with PW... Today I'm trying to build a basic portfolio site. One of the things I need are categories. I know by now how to accomplish this. However, while creating pages and doing tests, I wondered: Is there a special module that allows you to move several pages at once? Batcher doesn't have this, as far as I can see. Also, is it correct that with the current default "move" action within the pages menu, you can't put a page inside another page i.e. container page? You can always just move one page at a time within the same hierarchy level. I think it would be a very nice-to-have feature in the admin section (or as an optional module). I also looked up the database: "pages_parents" would probably be the place where to manually change parents via SQL. But I'm not sure how to use that, when there are multiple parents, i.e. a container-page is nested inside one or two other pages deep. Perhaps there's a tiny little thing I've been missing? Would you rather use the API to set a new parent for dozens of pages?

I was wondering if anyone had experience with placing a threshold on the size of an upload using the images field. It doesn't matter if the constraint is by dimensional/pixel area or by kilobytes, the point is to only to keep gigantic camera jpegs off the system. Limiting the global php upload maximum isn't an option because the site needs to handle pdfs and other media. While the optimum strategy would resize the image programatically on upload (if it exceeds certain conditions), throwing an error would also be fine. Poking around InputfieldImage.module, I'm seeing maxWidth and maxHeight properties (applied in ___fileAdded the method) that look like they would be perfect, but I can't figure out to apply the settings to the field. Thanks!

I m updating an old install of PW onto a new server with latest version of PW. Have changed alot of stuff but am still looking to retain some pages: e.g. all the news children pages. Been trying to use the import from CSV module for this by exporting using mySQL but im not really sure what im doing and I've managed to get an CSV with the page titles but not any content - Is there an easy way to do this? Or does any one have a module or mySQL script to select all the pages with child of id=x in a form they can be imported? Thanks!

Hi. I am new to PW and spending some time at the moment trying to learn it. One thing I would like to have is a general settings page, a site wide settings page in the admin. A place, the site administrator can store contact info, site title and other general sitewide data info. I know that the Home page could be used for this, but for me this is not the right place for this kind of data. Data stored on the Home page is for the home page only. I would like to have this under the Setup page. What would be a good way to create this kind of settings page? Thanks Vayu

Hello! I have pages of "companies", each company can have multiple addresses and multiple projects. I add them as sub-pages. To distinguish them I would like to preceed them in the List with "Address: " and "Project: " - in order to better distinguish them. Is it possible? At the moment I just use "template" to output the template name but would be nicer for the client to customize it further. Anyone knows how? Something like: Audi - Address: Somestreet. 99, 12053 City - Address: Another street 99, 12053 City - Address: Yetanotherstreet. 99, 12053 City - Project: XY 2011 - Project: TT 2013 you get the idea I guess. How do you handle pages/entities with multiple different subpages of different types? I didnt want to use repeaters as its a little bit annoying when you have a lot of items. and the documentation says they are not "infinitly scalable"... thx for suggestions, good process!

Hi Guys, have a site in a sub-domain /blog/ and moved it out to / and the site works but the admin section wont allow me to login, wondering if this is usual and if there would be any reason for this? I've moved the .htaccess file with the site and checked the password is correct in the database. Any help would be awesome, thanks

Hello Forum, I have some trouble with setting up user rights properly. I have defined a role "editor" with the following permissions: view pages edit pages sort child pages update profile And I have the following page structure: /section/subsection/detail/ /subsection/ uses a no-file template "subsection" with this settings: editor => view, add children (there is nothing to edit here, subsections just provide grouping for the detail pages) may have children? => yes may be used for new pages? => no allowed templates for children => detail children are sorted by => none /detail/ uses a no-file template "detail" with this settings: editor => view, edit, create may have children? => no may be used for new pages? => yes allowed templates for parents => subsection All data entered on /detail/ is pulled into /section/ and displayed there. Section therefore uses a template "section" with a file associated. Problem: If I log in with an editor account everything is fine except that I can't change the order of the detail pages (no "move" button, only "edit"). What do I oversee? Your help is much appreciated.
