Just wondering why the custom format is not applied to select options for page reference fields. Is there an easy way to hook and make it possible? Here are the appropriate (offending) template fields:

I want to add a tab to an edit page in the admin via API. I found a code from @kixe here https://processwire.com/talk/topic/15015-tabs-in-module-config-page/?do=findComment&comment=134624 that basically does this, but I can´t get it to work correctly (see screenshot). As you can see the Tab has a weird name and the submit button appears before the fieldset. Also the tab should appear as second, directly after "Inhalt (content)". Maybe I did something wrong when adding the tab to the form? Here is the code that I used: public function ready() { $this->addHookAfter('ProcessPageEdit::buildForm', $this, 'addButtons'); } public function addButtons($event) { $page = $event->object->getPage(); if ($page->template == "bewerbung") { $form = $event->return; $inputfields = new InputfieldWrapper(); $tab = new InputfieldWrapper(); $tab->attr('title', 'Settings'); $tab->attr('class', 'WireTab'); $markup = $this->modules->get('InputfieldMarkup'); $markup->label = 'Settings'; $markup->value = '<p>Just a placeholder for some inputfields.</p>'; $tab->add($markup); $inputfields->add($tab); $form->add($inputfields); } }

If I try to upload the same file (an image) to the "files" field AND to the "image" field (for thumbnail generation) on a page. But if I do that I get an error which says: How can I tackle this problem? Is it somehow possible? Because I need the image for a thumbnail and the file from the files field can be downloaded.

Hello! I was working on my website on Friday with what appears everything to be fine, and I come back today and now I can't access any page, I just get a white page with no information and no logs are logging what the issue is and I'm quite stumped frankly as to the cause. Going to http://138.197.146.76/ just brings up a blank page and no error logs and it's driving me crazy trying to troubleshoot. If you go to any other non-processwire page it works fine, like the php info page: http://138.197.146.76/info.php At first I thought it was an .htaccess issue (UTF-8 BOM info being parsed by Apache2 a the head of the file) but in re-uploading it that didn't solve it. Then I thought it was a php error from the index page being loaded but no PHP errors appear anywhere that I can see with a timestamp near to today, nor does the Processwire log update. It hasn't updated since the 10th and I'm not sure why. After 10 years of WordPress development, I'm pretty decent at troubleshooting server issues but this just has me for a loop, I'm not sure what's going on here so if anyone has any insight or wouldn't mind taking a look to troubleshoot I can provide you with root access to the server (it's a Ubuntu 16 LTS droplet on Digital Ocean). I've included dumps of my most recent logs, maybe I'm missing a detail? Any insight would be appreciated! Regards, Virtually(Creative) errors.txt access.log error.log

hi I have observed that processwire always cache my page even if i have disable cache from template, my problem is that trying to style the page and to be able to see my changes i have to clear the cache either by save the page again or delete the assets/cache/* or inside module page render . i have try processwire v 3.0.39, 3.042, 3.051 thanks

Hi guys I need an estimate for the following task: I developed a job candidate application in ProcessWire and need an extension to a Lister Pro Page. My customer wants to display a summary table of the filtered data like in the attached screenshot. When you filtered the view, that summary should show how many candidates have which status according to the actual filtered view. If you change the filter, the summary table has to be updated also. Who can accomplish this task and what would it cost? I first need an estimate to tell it to my customer. If he says the price is ok I will provide you with FTP Data to a dev server version of that tool. Thank you in advance.

Often, the pages I find myself referencing in a page field (whether through asmSelect or otherwise) are very simple. They might be categories, tags, or something along those lines, but they only contain a single text field. In cases like these, it would be great to be able to add new ones from the page that contains the referencing field. So if, for instance, I were adding a new page to a site, and had a "topics" field that selected pages from /topics/, and I realized that topic didn't exist yet, I could add it from the page without having to go back to the page tree, navigate to /topics/, create a new topics page, publish, then return to my unpublished new content page. I suppose the most straightforward plan of attack would be to create a new inputfield module, but ideally, this could be applied to any of the existing ones, whether checkboxes, asmSelect, or auto complete. Can a module extend other modules in that way?

I'm building a website that creates pages, sets the template and once a payment has been processed the page needs to be set to published. I need to know how to set this in the PHP Page class. Is it just $page = new Page(); $page->published = FALSE;? I couldn't find out how to do this in the docs. Thanks Clint

I am working on a simple photo gallery site where I have level one: Home, Galleries, Statement level two: Set 1, Set 2, Set 3 etc. (under Galleries) level three: a template that cycles through the child photos of Set 1, Set 2 or Set 3 set by using this code: if ($page->prev->id) { echo "<a href='{$page->prev->url}'></a>"; } else { $lastpage = $page->siblings->last(); echo "<a href='$lastpage->url'></a>"; } echo "<a href='{$page->parent->url}'></a>"; if ($page->next->id) { echo "<a href='{$page->next->url}'></a>"; } else { $firstpage = $page->siblings->first(); echo "<a href='$firstpage->url'></a>"; } echo "<img class='centered' src ='{$page->images->first()->url}'"; The level one and two navigation menus show the the active links as "on" and highlighted according to my CSS declarations at level two. For example: Home Galleries Statement [set One] [set Two] [set Three] [Thumbnail 1] [Thumnail 2] [Thumbnail 3] But clicking on the Thumnail 2 and cycling through turns off the Set Two link: Home Galleries Statement [set One] [set Two] [set Three] <prev [image detail] next> What do I need to add or change to make the second level navigation show as being "on"? This is the code I am using in the header included in all templates at level 1, 2, and 3: <div id="primary-menu"> <?php // Create the top navigation list by listing the children of the homepage. // If the section we are in is the current (identified by $page->rootParent) // then note it with <a class='on'> so we can style it differently in our CSS. // In this case we also want the homepage to be part of our top navigation, // so we prepend it to the pages we cycle through: $homepage = $pages->get("/"); $children = $homepage->children; $children->prepend($homepage); foreach($children as $child) { $class = $child === $page->rootParent ? " class='on'" : ''; echo "<a$class href='{$child->url}'>{$child->title}</a>"; echo " "; } ?> </div> <div id="secondary-menu"> <?php echo "<hr>"; // Output subnavigation // // Below we check to see that we're not on the homepage, and that // there are at least one or more pages in this section. // // Note $page->rootParent is always the top level section the page is in, // or to word differently: the first parent page that isn't the homepage. if($page->path != '/' && $page->rootParent->numChildren > 0) { // We have determined that we're not on the homepage // and that this section has child pages, so make navigation: foreach($page->rootParent->children as $child) { $class = $page === $child ? " class='on'" : ''; echo "<a$class href='{$child->url}'>{$child->title}</a>"; echo " "; } echo "<hr>"; } ?>

Hi, Is there a way to specify the default Page which appears upon login, either by role or user? I've made a custom admin Page I'd like to appear instead of Pages. Probably am overlooking something simple... Thanks! -evan

I'm having a problem with incorrect "created" dates. "created" dates are showing one day ahead. I don't think it's the server because I did a echo date("Y") and it shows the correct date. I'm doing this echo date("Y m d", $page->created); to show the page/article date. The timezone is set to New York time, which is fine as it's close enough. I'm wondering if this problem is coming up because it's a leap year. I didn't want to fish around the core to find out how "created" was set after looking around and not being able to find it. Anyone have any thoughts on this, or how to fix it?

How could i accomplish this? I would like to have in the admin a second page navigation and I would like to able to move some elements from the default page navigation to the other one. The element and their children. Any ideas on this?

Somehow content editors love the <br> tag. On a 'random' base, the're putting in a line break. The cases of double <br> is easy to solve, but the single ones are just a pain in the *ss, as they could be intended. Think 80% of the <br /> makes me <grrrr />. For other elements I can use some pseudo elements to foo-doo visualize when they are used. For br thats not possible without some javascript I think. I even think: Disallow br tags at all.<br> How do you guys solve this.? Putting this in the the CSS, will visualize the BR. p br { content: "*"; display: block; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1; } p br:after { content: "<br>"; display: inline; background: red; color: #FFF; font-size: 12px; border-radius: 2px; margin-right: 2px; padding: 0 4px; float: left; }

I've seen references to the page title, but where in ProcessWire can I set the site title, and how do I include it in my templates? My total experience with ProcessWire is about two hours, but it looks very promising. I develop primarily in WordPress, but the "post" structure has proved itself to be limiting.

Hi all, Hope that there is a quick tip that someone already know... Is it possible to search in multilanguage fields only in the current language values without to search in the default language as fallback? See the quote below. In other words.. I would like to search only in the current language (Dutch), no matter if some of the Dutch language values are empty. Is it possible? Thanks

Is there a way to hide the publish button for a user? I've had a look around the forums and I can't see that this has come up before, but what I'd like to do is have it so that certain user groups can add pages, edit and save them but not publish them. The idea is that the new pages then have to be approved by someone with higher permissions before the page appears on the site. Linked into this, I'd also like the ability for the user not to be able to edit a page once it's published if that makes sense? So they can add a page (article in this case) tweak it and edit it, let someone with higher perms check over it and publish it, and then at that point the author wouldn't be able to edit the page. I feel like this should be reasonably easy to accomplish with a module but just need a friendly shove in the right direction Something completely different that crossed my mind but would be useful in my situation (and maybe others?) would be the ability to hide a field depending on the user group and set a default value instead. The scenario for this is articles again - I've been using an autocomplete field to tag authors to articles (very occasionally it will have multiple authors), but for users of a certain group I'd like this field to be hidden instead and default the value to their user ID - not sure if that's actually possible? It's not 100% necessary, but again if there's a way to do it with a module I'd happily give it a shot Just as an extra, yet not entirely relevant, piece of information, I was also considering adding a checkbox to the end of the Article temlpate so that the author could then tick the box to say it's ready for review by an editor, and then have a list of articles ready for review on the admin homepage. That might be of interest to someone else working on some sort of approval-based site section, so I'll happily share the code

Hello, Somehow I can't seem to get a new user role to publish new pages -- only create and save unpublished. I created a new role called "editor" with view, edit, delete, and move permissions. I also allowed access management on the appropriate template. Still nothing. What am I missing? I'm using PW 2.2. Knowing how this goes, I'll probably figure this out in a second or two...! Tempting fate, -e.

I first asked this question on Twitter but I guess the forum is a better place to get a good answer. The following code is taken from the head.inc file of the default PW theme: // Create the top navigation list by listing the children of the homepage. // If the section we are in is the current (identified by $page->rootParent) // then note it with <a class='on'> so we can style it differently in our CSS. // In this case we also want the homepage to be part of our top navigation, // so we prepend it to the pages we cycle through: $homepage = $pages->get("/"); $children = $homepage->children; $children->prepend($homepage); foreach($children as $child) { $class = $child === $page->rootParent ? " class='on'" : ''; echo "<li><a$class href='{$child->url}'>{$child->title}</a></li>"; } The definition of $page->rootParent from the cheatsheet: I understand, that if you have the following page structure … Home About ProjectsProject ASubproject 1 Project B … and calling $page->rootParent->title on »Subproject 1« outputs »Projects«. But why can I also check with it that a page is the »current« one like written in the above code ($child === $page->rootParent)? I guess the problem I have with this is that one method implies two different semantics (which confuses me). Just wanted to share my thoughts about this as I’m trying to truly »learn« PW form the inside out.

I'd like to make the search in the PW Admin a little more fuzzy (able to match partial terms etc). Can I somehow change the default operator from "~=" to "%=" ? In the admin theme I'm using, the form is generated like this: $searchForm = $user->hasPermission('page-edit') ? $modules->get('ProcessPageSearch')->renderSearchForm() : ''; Can I pass a parameter to the renderSearchForm() function, or something similar without changing the core? Thanks!

So in general I really love how PW does its sizing and centers the focus on the picture so if you size it different that its true aspect ratio it focuses on the center of the picture, which in general is perfect for what we need. However, I was wondering if it was possible to change the parameters of where it focuses on. I am doing a photography website and I have some really awesome vertical images that are getting clipped at the top where the top is the most important part of the models picture. I am wondering if anyone has any good advice on how to best approach this issue inside of Process Wire Where does the magic happen and can I adjust it? You can see the issue here: http://peterson-medi...io/people/ Third row down, 3rd right picture(unless he moves it, or your browser is narrow in width, basically just any of the pictures with the heads cut off .) I would just make the layout different, but since this layout is fully responsive and changes sizes drastically I need to figure out how to do this. I was hoping to maybe write some php that would check to see if the height parameters of the picture were bigger than the width, then if so, focus on the top of the picture instead of the middle. Thanks a lot, and I hope someone can help me figure this one out.

Hi! I have multi language all set up and working with multi language fields and two languages: default and english. Everything's working, but when I create a new Page and try to set title and title_english, only title is stored. The english version comes in blank. Here's what I do: $item = new Page(); $item->template = $this->templates->get("page_complex"); $item->parent = $page->id; $item->title = "Kommande matcher"; $item->title_english = "Upcoming fights"; $item->save(); Any ideas anyone? Thank you Ryan & all for this wonderful CMS!!! Cheers, / Thomas

I just installed the latest dev branch from github on my local mamp server and wanted to add the german language pack to the default language. The files uploaded, but no translated phrases are detected. This just happens with the dev branch, with the master branch everything works like expected.

Hi, I'm running the newest version of processwire with multilanguage activated. On my search page I'm using this to find pages: if($q = $sanitizer->selectorValue($input->get->q)) { $input->whitelist('q', $q); $matches = $pages->get("title|body|summary|sidebar%=$q"); } //and so on But if I'm using it I'm always getting this error: Exception: Unknown column 'field_title.data0' in 'where clause' (in /var/www/ud14_276/html/sgym.de/www/wire/core/Database.php line 118) #0 /var/www/ud14_276/html/sgym.de/www/wire/core/DatabaseQuery.php(84): Database->query(Object(DatabaseQuerySelect)) #1 /var/www/ud14_276/html/sgym.de/www/wire/core/PageFinder.php(145): DatabaseQuery->execute() #2 /var/www/ud14_276/html/sgym.de/www/wire/core/Pages.php(144): PageFinder->find(Object(Selectors), Array) #3 [internal function]: Pages->___find('title=123', Array) #4 /var/www/ud14_276/html/sgym.de/www/wire/core/Wire.php(271): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #5 /var/www/ud14_276/html/sgym.de/www/wire/core/Wire.php(229): Wire->runHooks('find', Array) #6 /var/www/ud14_276/html/sgym.de/www/wire/core/Pages.php(213): Wire->__call('find', Array) #7 /var/www/ud14_276/html/sgym.de/www/wire/core/Pages.php(213): Pages->find('title=123', Array) #8 /var/www/ud14_276/html/sgym.de/www/wire/core/Pages.php(228): Pages->findOne('title=123') #9 /var/www/ud14_276/html/sgym.de/www/si I had a look in the database and I guess it originally tries to look for $q in both the english and german veriant. And so it should look for $q in the columns data and data1234. But instead it looks into data and data0. I don't know why...

Hi all, Installation done and multilingual has been implemented successfully but I faced a problem. I cloned the basic-page, named it basic-page_noside and deleted the "sidebar" at the template setting. I use this new template for the "Docs" page under the Home, and also two child page under "Docs". However, I still can see the sidebar content when I view Docs and the two child pages. I think I miss out something.... and need your help on this. I don't know much about coding etc. but I could follow instruction well.

Hi, since I'm using TextareaLanguage for my "body" field I can't use the "TinyMCE Advanced Configuration Options" under the "Input" section anymore... It just shoes the default TinyMCE editor interface... How can this problem be solved? / Nico
