module ProcessWire Dashboard

[dotnetic]

I found the solution, I have to include the hook before the require in admin.php

[d'Hinnisdaël]

@zoeck I implemented modal editing for the collection panels. See the latest release. You can set the mode to modal or blank for edit or view links.

The modal auto-closes on page save and the panel reloads via AJAX when an edit modal closes.

/* Open edit links in modal, view links in new tab */

$panels->add([
  'panel' => 'collection',
  'data' => [
    'editMode' => 'modal',
    'viewMode' => 'blank',
  ],
]);

I could make that a bit more obvious in the documentation ?

[dotnetic]

It would also be nice, if you provide a complete copy and paste solution for the admin.php, so one could directly see a working example. This requires of course to install all submodules.

[dotnetic]

Anyways, this is a really nice module. Thank you for releasing it.

[d'Hinnisdaël]

@gmclelland There's a few good ideas in there! I do have an at-a-glance/counter panel on the roadmap, but I'm not sure how to exactly build that since ProcessWire — as opposed to Wordpress — doesn't have any pre-configured content types, so I would have to make it a bit more configurable.

I also like the idea of having different tabs, although it's not a requirement I see many pages having. It should be relatively simple to implement, though (apart from the permissions stuff).

I'm planning on revamping the documentation at some point — split it into sub-pages and make it more navigable. Next on the list is an example section with code snippets for all panels, as you suggested.

[dotnetic]

It would also be nice, if I could add panels as an array of arrays (or objects) like

$panels->add([
        [
            'panel' => 'number',
            'title' => 'Neue Seiten',
            'data' => [
                'number' => 484,
                'detail' => '100 mehr als im vorigen Monat',
                'trend' => 'up',
            ]
        ],
        [

            'panel' => 'page-list',
            'title' => 'zuletzt bearbeitete Seiten',
            'data' => [
                'collection' => 'template=basic-page, limit=10',
                'sortable' => true,
            ],
        ]
    ]);

Right now, it seems, that I have to use $panels->add for every single panel, is that correct?

i agree here with this – i actually tried to add an array of panels first before I realized you had to do each panel on a different call..

@Jens Martsch - dotnetic @Macrura Correct. The problem here is that the config object is an array, and the outer array is also an array. There's no way of telling if it's a config array or a collection of config arrays without it getting ugly.

Luckily, WireArray has an import() method for that exact purpose. I added a release on GitHub that supports adding an array of panels via $panels->import([]);

[d'Hinnisdaël]

@Jens Martsch - dotnetic @Macrura  Come to think of it, I could check if the config array has numerical keys, and in that case treat them as an array of configs.

[d'Hinnisdaël]

@Jens Martsch - dotnetic @Macrura Adding multiple panels via $panels->add([]) should work now.

Couldn't you loop over all templates(excluding system templates) and use the template's name along with a count?

For example:

• Basic Page (55)
• Calendar Postings (77)
• Job Postings (88)
• community-event (55)  <- this one doesn't have a friendly template name, the others above do
• Total Pages (400)

It would probably be helpful to show file information as well.  Like:

• Documents (1,000)
• Images (2,000)
• Audio (30)
• Videos (40)
• Total Files (3,000)

The number of users would be helpful per role

• Editors (20)
• Contributors (25)
• Vendors (22)
• System Admins (2)
• Total Users (60)

All of that would probably need to be cached so isn't too taxing on the server.  Maybe only displayed to admins as well?  I thought I remembered a module that already provides similar counts?  I can't remember the name. Maybe I'll remember it later?

This does not work directly, only after I have written the following code into the admin.php file

wire('modules')->get('JqueryUI')->use('modal');

But after that, it work likes a charm ? Thanks!

 

 

and I still have a few ideas for the PageList:

• open collapsed
• edit in modal, too ? 

and one little design bug in the PageList:

• showRootPage => false -> no margin/padding left/right/bottom

[d'Hinnisdaël]

@gmclelland I can see this getting a bit out of hand with a CMF like ProcessWire that doesn't set any boundaries on the shape content can take.

The most versatile solution would be to create an at-a-glance panel, but to rely on the programmer to supply the counts that are relevant to their site.

I can see the template and role counts working the way you suggested. Still, not all templates are meaningful units of content, e.g. a `country` template for populating forms is really not that interesting to site editors. The role naming / pluralization would only work in English here (e.g. vendor becomes Vendors), so there'd need to be a way of naming them in other languages.

The documents and images are a bit more complicated, however. ProcessWire doesn't have a central media or file library to get a count from. So you need to run a cronjob to scan the site for images across all pages. You'd also need to figure out which images are meaningful content (photos) and which are e.g. system-created QR codes for event invitations.

How do you count videos? I have a file field called videos, and a repeater field with a video_url field. There's no way of counting that without doing it yourself.

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea, but I don't think automating it is feasible or the right solution in ProcessWire. I'll be happy to be convinced otherwise ?

Strange. I added that to the module itself and it only worked for me after I added it:

protected function includeModalScripts() {
  $this->modules->get('JqueryUI')->use('modal');
}

/* And then later */

if ($modal) {
  $this->includeModalScripts();
  $button->class .= ' pw-modal pw-modal-large';
}

You Added it to "renderButton" in the "DashboardPanel" Class, but the Modal is used in the "renderPageActions" Function in the "DashboardPanelCollection.module" (The renderButton/renderFooterButton isn't used in the Collection)

When you add "$this->includeModalScripts();" to "if (self::windowModeModal === $mode) {" (Line 300) it works ?

You're right of course ? I have a custom panel that already includes the modal script, so I never noticed. I pushed a fix that should work.

Thanks for debugging!

@zoeck Slow day in the office — I added the editMode and viewMode options to the PageList panel as well. See the latest release.

$panels->add([
  'panel' => 'page-list',
  'title' => 'Information',
  'data' => [
    'parent' => 'template=basic-page, name=info',
    'editMode' => 'modal',
    'viewMode' => 'blank',
  ],
]);

 

[matjazp]

When I add 'editMode' => 'modal' to the collection panel, this pops up: PHP Notice: Undefined index: host in ...\Dashboard\DashboardPanel.class.php:329 Perhaps you could use isset? 

if (isset($info['host']))

When modal is closed, there is an error in the console: Uncaught ReferenceError: UIkit is not defined Dashboard.js?v=0.5.0-1579071638:2 Can't debug this as js is minified.

[d'Hinnisdaël]

@matjazp I added fixes for both issues you're describing. Check out the latest commit on the develop branch. These will be part of the next release.

I guess "Add dashboard page to user dropdown navigation" isn't supported in AdminThemeDefault?

I'm using the standard AdminThemeFramework::getUserNavArray hook. Looks like that's a newer addition and not available on default.

Any particular reason you're still using the default theme? I switched all of my client sites over to UiKit and I don't regret it. The old one looks so... old.

[quickjeff]

This is amazing. Going to try this one out this week. I’m excited to see google analytics in the road map. Keep up the great work!!!!!!

[matjazp]

Some encoding problems, this is how it looks when dashboard is empty:

Learn how to add and configure panels reading the <a href="https://github.com/philippdaun/processwire-dashboard" target="_blank">documentation</a>.

I guess documentation should be a link.

 

EDIT: I see now it's multilanguage issue,
