Admin Actions

Try 1 or 2 GB, but do it in AdminActions.module so it's not affecting your site in general.

In reality I think that the backup method from the PW core (that AA uses) needs to be converted to use system tools like mysqldump so it is performant and won't hit these memory limits. I believe I have mentioned this to Ryan somewhere.

ProcessDuplicator has the option for this, but I'd rather see it implemented in the PW core.

Hi @adrian,

sometimes I have just stored some .csv-data in a normal processwire textarea field per copy-paste

Nothing more than for example:

id;name;age;
1;Joe;34
2;Jane;32

So far so good. 

Now I would like to do same thing (copy-paste these 3 lines of code into a textarea field) but this time these 3 lines should be "magicly" transformed into json and saved as json.

Could you may implement it as an admin action? If not could may just tell me how I could transform it to json via php or javascript but as an simple standalone script. It's not possible for me to use an online csv-to-json converter.

Hopefully my English was good enough

@adrian thanks for your advice! I also read about FieldtypeJson but I was irritated by the warnings "Alpha state", "

To be fair, i've already set this module to be deleted 2 times, but somehow it won't delete.

Better to go for other options like Kongondo's matrix field or use the Profields.

There's big change that there will be Data loss when using this module as it relies heavily upon Javascript." and "Please us Matrix Fieldtype & Inputfield" from @kongondo. Do you guys @adrianand @kongondo think the following statement is right?

Inputfield json is for beginners and easy tasks (like I described above) faster/easyier and more comfortable to use than Matrix Fieldtype which is to be fair probably way more powerful?

I have used it in the past and it works really well.

Hi @adrian after reading the docs/the modules forum of Fieldtype Json I was pretty sure that module would be enough and installed without problems. If I am informed right then @Martijn Geerts stepped back from developing his module. I may ask you for help because you mentioned the module is working for you.

Problem: Installation of Fieltype Json works fine and the settings page for the module I also found. Most setting options clicked seem to save just fine but if I copy-paste  some csv-text-content into the textareafield (csv-field) under settings nothing happens (I can not even see that text was inserted) when I click on save. Can you may help me?

Alternative: which would help me too (in case you know a simple solution or some good links?

I have a standard fieldtype file in my template and uploaded a csv-file. How can I make the content data of the csv-file visible in a different textareafield? In the next step I would like that if I change content in the visible textareafield and save it everything gets synchronised with the original uploaded csv-file in the file field.

Idea: 2-way-synchronisation (maybe one way-sync could work too) between an pw file field/a single csv-file and a pw textarea field

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

I’ve got a request. I love this module and use it a few times a week. The problem I just encountered is that fields that are Floats cannot be selected and updated via the “Field Set or Search and Replace” option. I’d love to see Floats added.

Hi @fuzenco - can you please do me a favor and try changing this line: https://github.com/adrianbj/ProcessAdminActions/blob/331e210404b7f883aec04c4342185c04be24d57d/actions/FieldSetOrSearchAndReplace.action.php#L23

to:

if (!$field->type instanceof FieldtypeText && !$field->type instanceof FieldtypeFloat) continue;

That should work, but please test and let me know and then I'll update the action.

@adrian Amazing. That worked perfectly. The fields were selectable and I was able to update my entries as a result. Thanks much!

what's also weird is that now the actions are executable with no need to populate the options fields where I set 'required' => true. The actions run nonetheless and I get some Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted Error. How can that be? It should not execute in that case. I have never changed that module and the page actions ever since it worked properly.

I'm trying to use the core admin action  Field Set or Search and Replace to set a value of a field inside a repeater field. That doesn't work, I tried with the option "Use Regex" ticked and unticked as well as the option "default" Language ticked and unticked. I guess repeater fields are more complex for this action to get the job right. Any suggestions?

Hi @adrian,

The "Delete Unused Templates" action is throwing an error for me in recent PW versions:

Maybe related to this change mentioned in the 3.0.210 release blog post?

Quote

Updated the $templates->delete($template) method to also delete fieldgroup having the same name as the template (when that fieldgroup is not used elsewhere).

Update: adding an if($fieldgroup) test to the action seems to resolve it...

if($fieldgroup) $this->wire('fieldgroups')->delete($fieldgroup);
