PW 3.0.43 core updates

[ryan]

Hope you all are having a great week. In this post we cover ProcessWire 3.0.43 (dev) which includes a lot of updates and a newly upgraded $page->url() method. Also a bit on the FileCompiler and revisiting last week’s ProcessWire Weekly recipe.

Another week, another set of useful updates.

It would be good if there was a URL option to return the complete URL of the current page, including URL segments and page numbers. Earlier in the year I was looking for such a feature and had to do this:

$full_url = $page->url;
if($input->urlSegmentsStr) {
    $full_url .= $input->urlSegmentsStr . "/";
}
if($input->pageNum > 1) {
    $full_url .= $config->pageNumUrlPrefix . $input->pageNum;
}

 

Regarding the /*NoCompile*/ comment, it seems it doesn't work if the include statement uses a relative path without any dot syntax (which may not be best practice but is still valid). So for an included file in the same directory...

include "test_include.php" /*NoCompile*/;

...the included file is still compiled.

Hello Ryan,

after updating from 3.042 to 3.0.43 dev I always get the following error if I want to load my page tree:

Maybe you can take a look at the Page.php.

Best regards

Are you 100% sure that the file is not just being copied to the cache directory without being compiled? As far as I know, this is by design.

I am testing using:

FileCompiler=?

With dot syntax the /*NoCompile*/ comment works, but not without.

include "./test_include.php" /*NoCompile*/; // included file is not compiled
include "test_include.php" /*NoCompile*/; // included file is compiled

Hello @Juergen I had the same problem as you, but after update from 3.0.41 to 3.0.42

I have found that this error is caused by any code like: 

if($page->image_field) 

where in field only one image. 

I really not sure what helped to me, but for the first time I used Updater module for update, but then I done update manually and this error disappear, 

That's why I didn't open issue for it.

This is the $input->url() method.

Without a "./" before it, PHP could feasibly load that file from anywhere in the php include path, and this is why we always say not to do that in your PW templates (unless you really need to have it load from a undefined location). I've not coded FileCompiler to try and track down files from the include path, because FileCompiler can only work with files in /site/. So it does require that a directory be part of the include, even if it's the current "./" directory. It may still work in some cases without it, but I wouldn't recommend it. 

Also, per the blog post, the /*NoCompile*/ has to be within parenthesis. Or to state it differently, it means you have to use include/require/etc. as a function call like include("./test_include.php" /*NoCompile*/);

Thanks, yes it looks like I had an error there that could be triggered in certain cases. I've pushed a fix that is now on the dev branch.

Perfect, don't know how I missed that.

Is this because the parentheses are needed as a kind of delimiter when looking for the /*NoCompile*/ comment? I often see parentheses used with include but thought that was a personal preference of the coder - like, you could use parentheses with echo if you wanted but it's not necessary. The PHP docs say that parentheses are not needed with include/include_once/require/require_once, and they are not used in the code examples there.
