Hi friends! And thanks for Processwire 😉 I have a specific question about PW admin. There's a typical situation when content editors need access to the public page tree only. Ideally, such users should not have the top PW admin menu (Pages, Setup etc.) at all, same for the Admin branch in page tree. Developer users should have everything concerning development (Setup, Modules, maybe Access...) but the public page tree can be limited/restricted for them. It's pretty like how the Admin Restrict Branch module works. But different. Admin Restrict Branch only allows to select a single branch which will be available for certain users. And I'm not sure the ARB will affect the top menu. Is there an existing solution for my request? Or maybe it's time to think about extending the ARB functionality? Many thanks for any possible advice.

Hi Everyone! So I've been working with PW for over ten years now!!! Big thanks to @ryan and everyone in the community (genuinely such a warm community). I've made a few modules in my time as well as tutorials and this was the first that I thought might work as a commercial module: MembersMessaging This module enables you to easily setup a messaging system for your users through your site. Allow your website users to message other users on the site given a user name or similar information. Module uses the notions of threads, messages and users to describe the message relationship -> A thread is a page storing n messages including: time posted, created by user and message text, the user ids in that thread, which users have unread messages in that thread, whether messages are encrypted (and it's salt). User pages have a list of all threads they are apart. In your templates you can add: a compose message form, threads and their messages, thread reply forms, message and threads counts, as well as delete and delete all messages. You can view messages in the admin (unless encrypted set to True) and view message stats and module usage in admin page Members. Purchase here How to install? - Install Processwire - Add MembersMessagingModule folder to modules folder in processwire: /site/modules/ - Login to your site admin and navigate to Modules: yoursite.com/[admin]/module - Configure the module settings: yoursite.com/[admin]/module/edit?name=MembersMessaging` - Follow the instructions below to add messaging to your templates How to use Example usage: $mm = $modules->getModule("MembersMessaging"); echo $mm->execute(); echo $mm->js(); echo $mm->css(); Full api here. Configuration Module allows you to configure whether: to allow new threads to yourself to allow new threads to guest user role to trash or unpublish threads deleted from frontend to use select or textinput for username input to allow an All keyword to signal thread should include all users to change all keyword to something else to notify a user via email they have been sent a new message to set email sender address to change username output from user name field to some other field specified to change default max threads and messages to display to encrypt messages (using basic encrypt strategy that encrypts each message on server before DB save, and is decrypted on request) Roadmap: Available here. ------- I'm not really sure how much interest there would be in this module so I've posted it to GumRoad for now, but will be looking to work on a PW store front if theres any interest in it and other modules - I've got ideas for other modules such as deffered page publishing, image folder GUI, protected field, field dependencies, pages contraits. I'm also available for hire currently to work on sites or modules https://www.benbyford.com

I am little stuck on option to hide dropdown button on page reference input. I have child pages from page reference field linked and visible and they should not be addable from list of referenced pages. I need only option to add new child pages from parent page but not to show dropdown of all not linked. New child pages are every time unique so when they are added they are linked with parent Is possible to disable or hide that dropdown "add" button ? Thanks for any help...

Inspired by this thread with a little nugget based on AOS by @benbyf to visually distinguish development systems from production ones, I wrote a small module that does the same and lets you adapt colors and text. Link to the github repo: AdminDevModeColors Version 0.0.1 is still very alpha and only tested on PW 3.0.124. Description This module lets you change the color for the top toolbar and add a small piece of text for development systems, so you are immediately you aren't working on production (and vice versa). The adaptions are made through pure CSS and applied if either the "Enable DEV mode" checkbox in the module's configuration is checked or the property $config->devMode is set to true in site/config.php. Works with Default, Reno and Uikit admin themes (though probably needs a lot of testing with different versions still). Since a screenshot says more than thousand words... Production system (unchanged): Dev system (Default admin theme): Dev system (Reno admin theme): Dev system (Uikit admin theme): Feel free to leave any feedback here and report any problems either in this thread or the github issue tracker.

Hello, This is my first post here, I've been using processwire for a while now and having a great time with it! Quick question regarding the Pages field: I am using a multiple-select pages field on the User template, so that a dealer can be associated with each user of certain roles. This works flawlessly without any conditions being set, but if I set 'Show this field only if' to roles=dealer|dealer-admin the field shows and hides as desired, but revert to null when saved. Is there anything I'm missing here? Thanks, Tom

Breadcrumb Dropdowns Adds dropdown menus of page edit links to the breadcrumbs in Page Edit. The module also adds dropdowns in Edit Template, Edit Field, Edit User, Edit Role, Edit Permission, Edit Language, and when viewing a log file at Setup > Logs. Configuration options Features/details The module adds an additional breadcrumb item at the end for the currently edited page. That's because I think it's more intuitive for the dropdown under each breadcrumb item to show the item's sibling pages rather than the item's child pages. In the dropdown menus the current page and the current page's parents are highlighted in a crimson colour to make it easier to quickly locate them in case you want to edit the next or previous sibling page. Unpublished and hidden pages are indicated in the dropdowns with similar styling to that used in Page List. If the option to include uneditable pages is selected then those pages are indicated by italics with a reduced text opacity and the "not-allowed" cursor is shown on hover. There is a limit of 25 pages per dropdown for performance reasons and to avoid the dropdown becoming unwieldy. If the current user is allowed to add new pages under the parent page an "Add New" link is shown at the bottom of the breadcrumb dropdown. If the currently edited page has children or the user may add children, a caret at the end of the breadcrumbs reveals a dropdown of up to the first 25 children and/or an "Add New" link. Overriding the listed siblings for a page If you want to override the siblings that are listed in the Page Edit dropdowns you can hook the BreadcrumbDropdowns::getSiblings method and change the returned PageArray. For most use cases this won't be necessary. Incompatibilities This module replaces the AdminThemeUikit::renderBreadcrumbs method so will potentially be incompatible with other modules that hook the same method. https://modules.processwire.com/modules/breadcrumb-dropdowns/ https://github.com/Toutouwai/BreadcrumbDropdowns

This module lets you add some custom menu items to the main admin menu, and you can set the dropdown links dynamically in a hook if needed. Sidenote: the module config uses some repeatable/sortable rows for the child link settings, similar to the ProFields Table interface. The data gets saved as JSON in a hidden textarea field. Might be interesting to other module developers? Custom Admin Menus Adds up to three custom menu items with optional dropdowns to the main admin menu. The menu items can link to admin pages, front-end pages, or pages on external websites. The links can be set to open in a new browser tab, and child links in the dropdown can be given an icon. Requires ProcessWire v3.0.178 or newer and AdminThemeUikit. Screenshots Example of menu items Module config for the menus Link list shown when parent menu item is not given a URL Advanced Setting child menu items dynamically If needed you can set the child menu items dynamically using a hook. Example: $wire->addHookAfter('CustomAdminMenus::getMenuChildren', function(HookEvent $event) { // The menu number is the first argument $menu_number = $event->arguments(0); if($menu_number === 1) { $colours = $event->wire()->pages->findRaw('template=colour', ['title', 'url', 'page_icon']); $children = []; foreach($colours as $colour) { // Each child item should be an array with the following keys $children[] = [ 'icon' => $colour['page_icon'], 'label' => $colour['title'], 'url' => $colour['url'], 'newtab' => false, ]; } $event->return = $children; } }); Create multiple levels of flyout menus It's also possible to create multiple levels of flyout submenus using a hook. For each level a submenu can be defined in a "children" item. Example: $wire->addHookAfter('CustomAdminMenus::getMenuChildren', function(HookEvent $event) { // The menu number is the first argument $menu_number = $event->arguments(0); if($menu_number === 1) { $children = [ [ 'icon' => 'adjust', 'label' => 'One', 'url' => '/one/', 'newtab' => false, ], [ 'icon' => 'anchor', 'label' => 'Two', 'url' => '/two/', 'newtab' => false, 'children' => [ [ 'icon' => 'child', 'label' => 'Red', 'url' => '/red/', 'newtab' => false, ], [ 'icon' => 'bullhorn', 'label' => 'Green', 'url' => '/green/', 'newtab' => false, 'children' => [ [ 'icon' => 'wifi', 'label' => 'Small', 'url' => '/small/', 'newtab' => true, ], [ 'icon' => 'codepen', 'label' => 'Medium', 'url' => '/medium/', 'newtab' => false, ], [ 'icon' => 'cogs', 'label' => 'Large', 'url' => '/large/', 'newtab' => false, ], ] ], [ 'icon' => 'futbol-o', 'label' => 'Blue', 'url' => '/blue/', 'newtab' => true, ], ] ], [ 'icon' => 'hand-o-left', 'label' => 'Three', 'url' => '/three/', 'newtab' => false, ], ]; $event->return = $children; } }); Showing/hiding menus according to user role You can determine which menu items can be seen by a role by checking the user's role in the hook. For example, if a user has or lacks a role you could include different child menu items in the hook return value. Or if you want to conditionally hide a custom menu altogether you can set the return value to false. Example: $wire->addHookAfter('CustomAdminMenus::getMenuChildren', function(HookEvent $event) { // The menu number is the first argument $menu_number = $event->arguments(0); $user = $event->wire()->user; // For custom menu number 1... if($menu_number === 1) { // ...if user does not have some particular role... if(!$user->hasRole('foo')) { // ...do not show the menu $event->return = false; } } }); https://github.com/Toutouwai/CustomAdminMenus https://processwire.com/modules/custom-admin-menus/

Hi, I am a new ProcessWire adept, coming from MODx Evolution (I see several of us here :)) I would like to know if it is possible to change the <title> tag in the admin to always show "ProcessWire" at the end. So for example instead of this: <title>Edit Page: Home • localhost</title> I would like to see this: <title>Edit Page: Home • localhost • ProcessWire</title> I need this because I target the title of the page with AutoHotkey so I can use shortcuts inside ProcessWire ;p

In a page’s admin interface, I need a select field to be populated with the values of another repeater that exist in the current page. To create such a reference, I tried to use Edit Field > Input > Custom Find, and Selector String. But I struggle to pass the “this page” reference. Ideally, I would like to find `$page->font_style`, `font_styles` being the repeater I want the values from. What am I missing?

Hello Community! I found quite a few ways or tools to style the admin or build a dashboard: - the new way with the .less compilation (reno style, rock style) - dashboard modules or tutorials how to build your own - admin on stereoids Vocabulary: With "admin like user" I do not mean a full admin but an user with quite a lot of priviledges ... My problem is that I do want to change the admin template for every (admin like) user in a different way. Or if I would build a bigger dashboard certain functionlity should only be available for a few (admin like) users but not for everyone. I would need different versions of the admin theme or the built dashboards for different admin users To start with a very simple example: Let's say I wanna give one (admin like) user a different background color (with css). Let's say I wanna have an extra button or tab for some (admin like) user which another (admin like) user should not have How can I take advantage of processwire roles in all these examples I mentioned in the beginning?

Hey guys, Thought I would share a quick preview of Designme. A module we (Eduardo @elabx and I) are building for visually laying out your templates/edit screens. ? This is a really quick, zero polish screen grab. FYI. Video #2 - UPDATE This new video shows the following features in Designme: Re-arranging fields via Drag & Drop Re-sizing fields via Dragging. Adjusting field settings - with live refresh. Working on "hidden" fields while Designme is active. Creating New fields. Deleting fields. Creating/Deleting Tabs. Dragging fields between tabs. Creating fieldsets. Tagging/Un-tagging fields. Fields without headers expand when hovered (like checkboxes). Live filtering of fields in the sidebar. Ability to adjust (all) Template settings without leaving Designme. Template File Tree Editing Template files source code with ACE Editor. Editing Multiple files with ACE Editor. (New Tabs) Saving files. Techie stuff Fields load their own js/css dependancies. *ready to use on creation (*most fields) Everything happens via Ajax to ProcessPageEdit (via module + hooks). Designme has a JS api that you can use. All actions trigger events. We would love any detailed feedback on what you see so far. If you are interested in testing Designme. Let me know below. ? Video #1.

Hi there Short version of question Let's say I have a page in the admin that contains a field... Is it possible to output the content from that field on another page in the admin? Almost like a reference. Longer version of question (with example) A house builder with multiple (60+) developments. They want to be able to create notices/messages that can be added to one or many developments. Handy for things like regional covid lockdowns or temporary office closures due to bad weather. My approach for the admin editing options: Add each message to each development Pros: You edit the message on the development page in context Cons: Very time consuming and repetitive if the same message needs to be applied to 60+ developments Control all the messages from one admin page and say which development each message should be applied to Pros: Easier to add/remove messages to more than one development at a time. Control all messages from one place. Cons: Content is not added on development page, which is where typical admin users may expect to find it I went for option 2 due to flexibility, and created a page within the admin for global development notices. This contains a repeater with: Field for message to display Checkbox list of all developments. The user can select which ones to apply each message to It's working really well but the only thing is that if the user goes to a specific development in the admin, the relevant messages aren't displayed in context (as they aren't edited on that page and instead on the global development notices page)... which may cause confusion when a new staff member / content admin tries to edit the text but there is no field when they go to the development admin page where they expect to see it... Solution??? I don't require the message(s) to also be editable on the development page, but I wondered if there was a nice way to show it/them somehow. I feel like I am missing something really simple as I'm sure ProcessWire will have a nice way of achieving this, or maybe there are field settings that allow this kind of thing to happen? Any ideas on approaches or similar experiences would be much appreciated, even if it is just a much simpler example with the content from one field being shown on another admin page to get the ball rolling. Thanks in advance for any advice :)

I can't find anything about this in the forums or anything, but I have a file field that accepts mp3 files. Trying to upload from an Android phone (I've tried from two) the files aren't accepted, it says they must be mp3 files, but they are, so it's not reading the file extensions I guess... The error names the file name without the extension saying it's missing the extension. Has anyone come across this? Thanks.

Hi, I would like to set an admin template to 'https only' as recommended in the Processwire security docs. However if I do this it forces this setting locally too, resulting in https://localhost requests which result in an error page. Is there a simple way round this? Setting https for templates in the config? Thanks!

How do I grab the admin user's email address? Thanks!

Hi. I'm currently stuck at the login page in my project. Once I enter my admin username and my password and press login, nothing happens. The page just reloads. However, the URL changes from http://myipaddress/processwire to http://myipaddress/processwire/?login=1. I've checked all of my server settings, and to my knowledge, all seems to be fine there. I don't know where to go from here.. Thanks in advance!

Small annoyance: I get a horizontal scrollbar in UIkit admin area - or actually Admin Theme Boss based on Uikit 3. I tried to fix it with CSS, but had trouble isolating/targeting it and don't want to mess with module or core files. I think this issue has been reported before. Is there a recommended fix?

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?

The Minimal Site works fine, but if I try to login as admin, I have no idea what the credentials are. I did not do the "install" process myself. The OVA came with everything set up, but there's no mention of the PW admin credentials being set to some initial value. Wondering if anyone else has tried the Bitnami OVA and if there's a simple answer. --Pete

I don't have any fontawesome icons in the admin section. Not sure what's wrong. They used to appear. I've tried all the user profiles and they're gone in all of them. Using the browser inspector tool, I see this message: Access to font at 'https://www.domain.com/wire/templates-admin/styles/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=4.7.0' from origin 'http://domain.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. I'm not sure why this is occurring or how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Getting a little deeper into the ProcessWire state-of-mind here. I seriously think I wouldn't have come back to webdev if it wasn't for this wonderful little gem of a CMS. I have an "Options" field added to all users on a site. If the user has anything other then "default" selected, I would like to show a permanent message in the admin like the one in the screenshot, only so that the user can't close it. As a friendly reminder that he changed that option from default to something crazy ? I've read up on how to send messages to users, but where would I hook into to make this show up all the time in the backend? https://processwire.com/api/ref/wire/message/ Thanks in advance!

From the usability point, clicking the "Add New" button should 100 % add a new page. We are on the site "Pages". What else should a user expect... I am also very sure that most of the users will not understand the meaning of "bookmarks". This should be fixed.

This module hooks into the login method to provide the possibility to login with the user's email address. This is my first module and it's very simple. Please provide feedback if you have any suggestions. Thanks The module can be found in the module repository: https://modules.processwire.com/modules/login-with-email/ or on github: https://github.com/noelboss/LoginWithEmail
