ryan 19,210 Posted January 29 This week we have a couple of useful new $pages API methods. They are methods I've been meaning to add for awhile but hadn't found the right time. The need coincided with client work this week, so it seemed like a good time to go ahead and add them. I'm doing a lot of import-related work and needed some simple methods that let me work with more page data than I could usually fit in memory, and these methods make that possible. These won't be useful to everyone all the time, but they will be useful in specific cases. The first is $pages->findRaw() which works just like the $pages->find() method except that it returns the raw data from the matching pages, and lets you specify which specific fields you want to get from them. For more details see the findRaw() documentation page. There's also getRaw() method which is identical to findRaw() except that it returns the raw data for just 1 page, and like get(), it has no default exclusions. The next method is $pages->getFresh(). This works just like $pages->get() except that it gets a fresh copy of the page from the database, bypassing all caches, and likewise never itself getting cached. ProcessWire is pretty aggressive about not having to reload the same page more than once, so this method effectively enables you to bypass that for cases where it might be needed. Again, probably not something you need every day, but really useful for when you do. More details on the getFresh() documentation page. I'm going to likely cover these new $pages API methods in more detail in a future blog post, along with some better examples, so stay tuned for that. I noticed there's some pretty great conversion and examples happening in the posts on page builders here, but have been so busy this week I haven't had a chance to dive in, but I'm really looking forward to doing so. Thanks and I hope you all have a great weekend! 20 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adrian 12,063 Posted January 29 Absolutely love this Ryan! I know this is a very simple example, but take a look at the difference in the execution time and memory usage 🙂 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bernhard 5,125 Posted January 30 Hi Ryan, thx for the update! Is there any reason why the label field is required? I find that really annoying - I'm leaving that blank most of the time while developing, because I see the name of the field instantly and change/fill the label only if the setup turns out to be working properly. Otherwise removing fields, renaming fields etc. is more work than necessary, because one always has to fill/rename one additional field that does not add any benefit. Would be great to revert this back to optional. I like the new interface, though. But it would be better IMHO to show name | type | label (optional) PS: I saw that the page name fills automatically based on the label - that might be nice for all english speakers, but most of the others I guess will usually have different labels and field names, because the label is in their language while the field name is english... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudy 101 Posted February 1 @ryan, did you bump the latest `dev` version to `3.0.172` on Github? I noticed that the Upgrades module did not pick it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sebr 14 Posted February 16 @ryan Since upgrade to 3.0.172, I have this notification alert : Quote Modules: Configurable module check failed for LazyCron. If this error persists, please do a Modules > Refresh. And if use "Publish" button to publish a page I have this notification alert : Quote ProcessPageEdit: Saved Page: /testy/ - Cannot be published until errors are corrected But if I uncheck "Unpublish" or if I publish from page list, the page is published. Any idea ? How can I look for something to resolve it ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is probably windows specific problem - at least in our company it is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
