Field Initial Value For most field types, allows the definition of an initial value that is automatically set when pages are created. The initial value can be set in template context if you want a different initial value in different templates. Example for a "Countries" Page Reference field using AsmSelect: Example with explanatory notes in a CKEditor field: Differences from "Default value" The core allows setting a "Default value" for certain field types. The "Initial value" setting added by this module is different from the "Default value" setting in the following ways: The "Default value" is a setting that applies only to the inputfield, meaning that the value is shown in the inputfield by default but is not stored until you save the page. By contrast, the "Initial value" is automatically saved to the page when the page is first created. Related to point 1, when a page is created via the API rather than in the ProcessWire admin the "Initial value" is saved to the page but the "Default value" is not. The "Default value" has no effect when a field is not "required", but the "Initial value" is set for both required and not required fields. Related to point 3, a user can empty a field that had an "Initial value" applied but a field with a "Default value" set cannot be emptied. The "Initial value" setting is available for more field types than "Default value". Supported field types The following field types are supported, along with any types that extend them: FieldtypeText (includes types that extend it such as Textarea, CKEditor, URL, etc.) FieldtypeDatetime FieldtypeInteger FieldtypeDecimal FieldtypeFloat FieldtypePage (with all core inputfield types) FieldtypeCheckbox FieldtypeOptions (with all core inputfield types) FieldtypeToggle FieldtypeSelector FieldtypeMultiplier (ProField) FieldtypeCombo (ProField, only supported when File and Image subfields are not used) FieldtypeStars (third-party module) If you want to try field types beyond this you can define additional types in the module config, but your mileage may vary. Unsupported field types It's not possible to set an initial value for these field types, along with any types that extend them: FieldtypeFile (and FieldtypeImage) FieldtypeRepeater (includes types that extend it such as Repeater Matrix and Fieldset Page) FieldtypePageTable FieldtypeTable (ProField) Notes Seeing as the initial value is defined in the field config it has no idea of the current page - for the purposes of rendering the initial value inputfield the home page is supplied as a dummy page. This probably isn't an issue in most cases but it might have an effect for some Page Reference fields if they use the current page to limit the selectable pages. https://github.com/Toutouwai/FieldInitialValue https://processwire.com/modules/field-initial-value/

Change Default Language to be None-English | Walk Trough When you start a new (single) language site and the default language shouldn't be English, you can change it this way: Go to the modules core section: Select the Language ones by the filter function: We have four language related modules here, but for a single language site in none english, we only need the base module, named "Languages Support". So go on and install it. After that, you can leave it, ... ... and switch to the newly created Language section under SETUP: Select the default language Enter your new language name or its Shortcut and save the page. I will use DE for a single language site in german here as example: Now I go to the ProcessWire online modules directory, down to the subsection for language packs and select and download my desired (german) one: After downloading a lang pack as ZIP, I go back into my SETUP > LANGUAGES > default language page in admin, select the downloaded lang pack ZIP and install it: After the ZIP is uploaded, the files are extracted and installed, most of my screen is already in the new default language. To get all fully switched, we save and leave that page, ... ... and completely logout from the admin. Now, of course, we directly login back, ... ... and see, that now also the cached parts of the admin have switched to the new default language. ? That was it for a single language site in none english. If you want to have a multi language site, just add more languages to the SETUP > LANGUAGES section. When using a multi language site, I think you also want to use multi language input fields, and maybe different page names for your language page pendents. If so, you need to go into MODULES > CORE > filter LANGUAGE and install what you need or want to use of it, (if not already done). Thanks for reading and happy coding, ?

I know this has been discussed in detail over the years and I read everything I could find about it in the forum. And still, no (straightforward) solution to my scenario. My situation: I set up a multilingual events directory site were instructors can sign in and manage their events. There is a core content area which is available in 4 languages. Instructors post their personal info and their events in only one language, but field labels need to be multilanguage. Therefore I need multilanguage page names and fields for them, too. The site has been running on Joomla/Seblod for 3 years already. I am currently in the process of porting it to PW. Once this is done, a skeleton of the site will be rolled out in different EU countries, so instructors in those countries have their own PW install to manage events for their country. Of course, the default language needs to be a different one in each country. And this is where my problem lies. I have the multilanguage setup with Language Support Page Names module and am working with multi-language fields in a 2.6.23 install. In the original project, the default language is English. Now I need to make a copy of the site that has German as default. Solutions that I am aware of are: 1. do a redirect for the default language homepage. For the frontend this is fine except for the /de/ appended to the home page. In the backend, the German users have language German. But German is not the default language. So when a user creates a new event, they will be presented with the German tab open for multi-language fields. When they fill in the title (PageTitleLanguage) and hit save, they get an error "Required value missing" for the title field. Because they only fill in the german title and the default (english) title is still empty, hence the error. So this is actually not a solution. 2. switch the values for multi-language fields by script (like proposed here) and rename the default's language title to "German" and adjust the URLs in the page names of the home page. While this is doable, it requires quite some effort as I will have to do this for every country. In Joomla/Seblod I can just change the default language with one click in the backend. And I am very much missing this feature in PW Finally, my question: Is there any way other than solution 2 to handle the situation? Maybe I missed some new features or maybe someone has come up with a way to truly change the default language programmatically. Thanks for reading through all of this. Any help would be very much appreciated.

When creating a new page with multilanguage page names, under the Settings tab there is a field for the page name for each language with an "Active" checkbox. By default the chachbox is checked How can I set them to be unchecked by default? I tried to find settings in LanguageSupport and LanguageSupportPageNames modules and in the settings for the languages.

Hello I've got off to a bad start trying to install PW on my local offline server, I must be doing something wrong as I have a bit of experience with Wordpress and it's running fine on my server, but I like the look of PW and hope to try it. Anyway I downloaded and unzipped the PW installation, the installation seemed to go right through ok, everything passed on the check lists. I selected the Default profile, and then when I try to click on Admin access or view the site I get "Not Found - The requested URL /processwire-master/about/ was not found on this server. Apache/2.4.10 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80" Simply because the /about folder does not exist! It seems the profile has not been installed by the installation process despite everything else being ok? If I type localhost/processwire-master in the browser I get the Minimal Site Profile "What is ProcessWire?" page but the links work "About" & "Site Map" don't work as the folders are not there. Bit confused as to why this is missing. Please put me out of my misery if it's something obvious I am doing / not doing! Many thanks - rushy

I was wondering if there is a way to install processwire without the default pages? I find myself deleting the default fields, templates, etc. I remember the on the old versions of modx when installing you would have to option to install with default data or without. What about implementing that?
