Hi everyone ? Is there a way to order the language tabs in the backend? Currently, they seem to be ordered based on the created date (or id?) … ( time passes … ⏰ ?‍♂️) Just answered my own question. One can reorder the languages in the page tree under admin » languages or directly in the DB » pages » template_id=54 » sord field. Anyone knows if there are side effects when moving the default language from sort 0 to somewhere higher?

Is it possible to open a specific tab, when in page-edit mode? Let's say I have 5 tabs (more than just the default "content" tab - 4 more created with field-groups), and the user is in tab 3. How can I possibly manage to set tab 3 again to active/selected when the same user wants to edit the same page after x days? Are there any in-built methods I could use? And which hook(s) would be necessary?

Hi, New to PW, please forgive my ignorance if this has been answered before, I have scoured the docs and forums but couldn't find anything. I'm trying to add a custom tab to the Page Edit screen (or process), which will contain fields for a page hero. Ideally, I would have a "Hero" tab before "Content", which would contain fields for images, text, a CTA button, etc. What I have so far is this: class HeroTab extends WireData implements Module { public static function getModuleInfo() { return array( 'title' => 'Page Hero', 'version' => 1, 'summary' => 'Header fields for pages.', 'singular' => true, 'autoload' => true, ); } public function ready() { if(wire('page')->process != 'ProcessPageEdit') return; $this->addHookAfter('ProcessPageEdit::buildForm', $this, 'addTab'); } public function addTab(HookEvent $event) { $form = $event->return; // create the tab $hero = new InputfieldWrapper(); $hero->attr('id+name', $this->className() . 'hero'); $hero->attr('title', $this->_('Hero')); // Images $fimages = $this->modules->get("InputfieldImage"); $fimages->attr('id+name', 'hero_images'); $fimages->label = $this->_('Images'); $fimages->extensions = 'gif jpg jpeg png svg'; $hero->append($fimages); // Text $ftext = $this->modules->get("InputfieldCKEditor"); $ftext->attr('id+name', 'hero_text'); $ftext->label = $this->_('Text'); $hero->append($ftext); $form->prepend($hero); } } This adds the tab and the fields, but after the "View" tab. However, the bigger problem is that the fields do not save. When I click Save, the page refreshes, with the "Saved Page" notice, but the fields are empty. I got inspiration from https://github.com/adrianbj/ProcessRedirectIds/blob/master/ProcessRedirectIds.module, but I think it is for the older 2.x version because it originally used $form->append which put the bottom save button between the tabs and tab content. Any help would be appreciated, I am thoroughly lost and the documentation doesn't give any examples for what I'm trying to do. Cheers

Hi all, I have created a new admin page which just lists some form submission details, it works as expected so I'm pretty happy with it. The only thing I can't figure out is how to now add a new tab which links to this custom page. From what I have read it seems like most people do this by including it as part of a module, I would like to avoid creating this a page as a module as it is specific to this website and has no reusability. However I am yet to find any documentation stating whether this is even possible without going down the module route. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello, I just thought I'd mention this, I'll most likely post on GitHub. I just want to make sure I'm not being a total newbie. Introduction I'm creating case studies that will have a slider. For this I've opted for repeater over PageFields as it will only have the fields, text and image. I understand that PageFields are the way to go over repeaters, however I felt creating new pages and using the iFrame to edit might be a little too much for this particular project. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm new to ProcessWire) The Problem I have created a tab called Slider, in this there is a repeater that has a few fields. However, when I add content to this field and save, the content does not save. How to reproduce Create a tab Add a repeater to the tab Add content to the repeater and save The content should disappear. If it doesn't then I must be doing something wrong, somewhere. Thanks, Tom

Hey PW, I am only a starting developer and I am still in school and my experience with processwire is quite small but recently I've created my own module for Processwire and I kind of had to ask and copy a lot from other sources, now I want to create a small walk through tutorial for people with the same lack of knowledge as me And as a guide for myselfs in the future 1) Setting up the file. Okay, so we start of by making a new document in the Module root folder and call it Harmster.module for this example, we dont need to add the .php extension. Now every module in Processwire needs to extends the classes and methods from Processwire itselfs so we start off by typing class Harmster extends Process{ } You can also extend WireData, I don't really understand the difference but both work for me A module contains 2 standart classes, init() and getModuleInfo() init() This is kind of, or the same as a __construct() method, this always executes and is executed almost at creation. getModuleInfo() This is a method that is used to show the information in the Processwire CMS. We both need to add these to our fresh class like following: class Harmster extends WireData { public static function getModuleInfo() { return array( 'title' => 'Harmster', 'version' => 100, 'summary' => 'Harmster module' 'singular' => true, ); } public function init() { $this->setFuel("harmster", $this); } This is where I, as a starting developer, get really excited about this little code in the init() method $this->setFuel("harmster", $this); Basically creates your class in every template you are going to use and it is callable by $harmster Woah! awesome right! Now this is where I got stuck on, I the user to configure some options in the module :\ hmm... Well I just went asking on the forums and the super nice community of PW came to help me, Wanze in this case (no emoticon because its not allowed) (Check it for yourselfs, http://processwire.c...lds-for-module/) And basically you need to implement some methods from an another object, you should replace this, class Harmster extends WireData implements Module with class Harmster extends Process implements Module, ConfigurableModule But when you add that and try to use your module you'll see you get an error, we need to add one more method to the class called getModuleConfigInputfields add static public function getModuleConfigInputfields(array $data) { } 2) Adding a configurable and usable textbox But now you want to add some input fields, now this is pretty hmm complicated For a simple textbox you put this inside the method you just made: $modules = Wire::getFuel('modules'); $fields = new InputfieldWrapper(); $field = $modules->get("InputfieldText"); $field->attr('name+id', ''some_text_field_saved_name''); $field->attr('value', $data['some_text_field_saved_name']); $field->label = "Hamsters rule!"; $field->description = 'Enter a nice sentance here if you like hamsters'; $fields->append($field); Now you've created a input field and you can use it with $this->get(''some_text_field_saved_name''); in all your methods in this class (no emoticon because its not allowed) If you're lazy Now what you've created is a configurable module, heres a I am lazy and i want to pastey (no emoticon because its not allowed) class Harmster extends Process implements Module, ConfigurableModule { public static function getModuleInfo() { return array( 'title' => 'Harmster', 'version' => 001, 'summary' => '', 'href' => '', 'singular' => true, 'autoload' => true, ); } public function init() { $this->fuel->set("harmster", $this); } static public function getModuleConfigInputfields(array $data) { } } Now if you want to add a overview page, much like the setup, pages, acces and module tab in Processwire CMS default you can easily do this by adding 2 new methods in your class, install and uninstall 3) Creating your install and uninstall So you want to get a nice overview for your module now eh? Well we can do that because Processwire is awesome like that I did this for my module Now, we need to add 2 methods to our class, ___install and ___uninstall (yes, 3 underscores) So add this to your class: public function ___install() { } public function ___uninstall() { } I think that these are kind of self explaing, the one method gets executed when the user installs the module and the other one gets executed when the user deinstalls the module. Now we want to add a page to PW CMS, but how (no emoticon because its not allowed) Thats actually really easy, $page = $this->pages->get('template=admin,name='.self::PAGE_NAME); if (!$page->id) { $page = new Page(); $page->template = $this->templates->get('admin'); $page->parent = $this->pages->get($this->config->adminRootPageID); $page->title = 'MailChimp'; $page->name = self::PAGE_NAME; $page->process = $this; $page->save(); } This is how you install a page, notice that we name the page to self::PAGE_NAME therefor you want to add const PAGE_NAME = 'harmster-module'; with the name of your module BUT BUT now everyone can look in to this module D:< i dont want that! Ofcourse you dont want that. Clients are famous for breaking everything where they put their hands on, so we need to create permissions! Now the way you make permissions is just genius and so easy, you just add this to your ___install method, $permission = $this->permissions->get(self::PERMISSION_NAME); if (!$permission->id) { $p = new Permission(); $p->name = self::PERMISSION_NAME; $p->title = $this->_('View Harmster Page statistics and synchronize pages with lists'); $p->save(); } And you create a permission constant just like PAGE_NAME like this const PERMISSION_NAME = 'hr-view'; And of course you can create more permissions, just genius! Now what our install method should look like is this: public function ___install() { $page = $this->pages->get('template=admin,name='.self::PAGE_NAME); if (!$page->id) { $page = new Page(); $page->template = $this->templates->get('admin'); $page->parent = $this->pages->get($this->config->adminRootPageID); $page->title = 'Harmster'; $page->name = self::PAGE_NAME; $page->process = $this; $page->save(); } $permission = $this->permissions->get(self::PERMISSION_NAME); if (!$permission->id) { $p = new Permission(); $p->name = self::PERMISSION_NAME; $p->title = $this->_('View Harmster Page statistics and synchronize pages with lists'); $p->save(); } } This will set a module page up for you And we create an uninstall method, this basicly reverts your installed permissions and pages. public function ___uninstall() { $permission = $this->permissions->get(self::PERMISSION_NAME); if ($permission->id) { $permission->delete(); } $page = $this->pages->get('template=admin, name='.self::PAGE_NAME); if ($page->id) { $page->delete(); } } Now you are might be wondering, how do i get to display content in my page :S Well, I kinda stole this from other modules and it does work, but I am open for suggestions. the method ___execute gets executed when you click on your page in the PWCMS. What i wrote in there is public function ___execute() { return $this->_renderInterface(); } and in renderInterface() i put the next code: private function _renderInterface() { $this->setFuel('processHeadline', 'MailChimp synchronize tool'); $form = $this->modules->get('InputfieldForm'); $form->attr('id','ga_form'); $wrapper_audience = new InputfieldWrapper(); $field = $this->modules->get("InputfieldMarkup"); $field->label = $this->_("Gebruikers"); $field->columnWidth = 100; $members = $this->list_members($this->get_apikey()); $html = "<table class='AdminDataTable AdminDataList AdminDataTableSortable'>"; foreach($members['data'] as $member) { $html .= "<tr><td>" . $member['email'] . "</td><td>" . $member['timestamp'] . "</td></tr>"; } $html .= "</table>"; $field->attr('value',$html); $wrapper_audience->append($field); $form->append($wrapper_audience); return $form->render(); } Bascily you create a form and you render the form and that displays it for you, just play around with it for a bit and you'll get into it, as i am still getting into it. I am lazy, here a copy, pastey (no emoticon because its not allowed) <?php class Harmster extends Process implements Module, ConfigurableModule { const PAGE_NAME = 'harmster-module'; const PERMISSION_NAME = 'hr-view'; public static function getModuleInfo() { return array( 'title' => 'Harmster', 'version' => 001, 'summary' => '', 'href' => '', 'singular' => true, 'autoload' => true, ); } public function init() { $this->fuel->set("harmster", $this); } static public function getModuleConfigInputfields(array $data) { } public function ___install() { $page = $this->pages->get('template=admin,name='.self::PAGE_NAME); if (!$page->id) { $page = new Page(); $page->template = $this->templates->get('admin'); $page->parent = $this->pages->get($this->config->adminRootPageID); $page->title = 'Harmster'; $page->name = self::PAGE_NAME; $page->process = $this; $page->save(); } $permission = $this->permissions->get(self::PERMISSION_NAME); if (!$permission->id) { $p = new Permission(); $p->name = self::PERMISSION_NAME; $p->title = $this->_('View Harmster Page statistics and synchronize pages with lists'); $p->save(); } } public function ___uninstall() { $permission = $this->permissions->get(self::PERMISSION_NAME); if ($permission->id) { $permission->delete(); } $page = $this->pages->get('template=admin, name='.self::PAGE_NAME); if ($page->id) { $page->delete(); } } public function ___execute() { return $this->_renderInterface(); } private function _renderInterface() { $this->setFuel('processHeadline', 'MailChimp synchronize tool'); $form = $this->modules->get('InputfieldForm'); $form->attr('id','ga_form'); $wrapper_audience = new InputfieldWrapper(); $field = $this->modules->get("InputfieldMarkup"); $field->label = $this->_("Gebruikers"); $field->columnWidth = 100; $members = $this->list_members($this->get_apikey()); $html = "<table class='AdminDataTable AdminDataList AdminDataTableSortable'>"; foreach($members['data'] as $member) { $html .= "<tr><td>" . $member['email'] . "</td><td>" . $member['timestamp'] . "</td></tr>"; } $html .= "</table>"; $field->attr('value',$html); $wrapper_audience->append($field); $form->append($wrapper_audience); return $form->render(); } } I'll update this tutorial in the near future as i am still working my way up (no emoticon because its not allowed) Aww, i get an error when i save it, thats not nice. Thanks for reading (no emoticon because its not allowed)EDIT Updating this tutorial very soon, its horrible and incorrect
