RockFrontend 🔥🚀 The Powerful Toolbox for ProcessWire Frontend Development

[herr rilke]

thanks @bernhard for this module! it makes my code so much more organized & the content easier to maintain.

but i am not able to setup an ajax endpoint: i get a 404 error in return.

• file lives in /site/templates/ajax/
• i am logged in as a superuser.
• URL has no trailing slash.

also the modules settings says: "No endpoints found."

what am i doing wrong?

PW 3.0.240, RockFrontend 3.21.2, RockPageBuilder 5.8.0

I can't know if you don't share the exact steps you did. I don't know which file you created. I don't know which url you entered... Maybe it's just a typo!

[herr rilke]

hello bernhard,
Thank you for your quick response.
I found out that the whole thing doesn't work on my local Windows development computer - but it does on my Linux web server.

could this be related to file permissions? It's just a "copied version" - copied from Windows to the live server.

What would be a starting point?

[bernhard]

That's a good hint! So maybe we are just missing a normalisation for the path separator somewhere. Can you place bd($rockfrontend) in site/ready.php and tell me the output for ajaxEndpoints?

[herr rilke]

[bernhard]

Thx, could you please try v3.22.2 ?

[herr rilke]

thank you!

unfortunately the result is still the same 😞

do you need another dump from tracy?

[bernhard]

@dotnetic as you are on Windows could you please have a look? I can't debug this on Mac...

[bernhard]

Hey @herr rilke there was an issue with the ajax feature both on windows installations and on subfolder installations. I think they should be fixed now!

Please check out v3.23

PS: Thx for your help with the windows path issue @dotnetic, the final fix was a little bit more complicated though 😅

[herr rilke]

wow, how great!
thanks so much in advance!
But I can't yet see the update and import it directly via processwire.

[bernhard]

Just download it from github and remove /site/modules/RockFrontend and then add the new files there https://github.com/baumrock/RockFrontend/archive/refs/heads/main.zip or https://github.com/baumrock/RockFrontend/releases

I've found an issue on my project but let me know if the new version works for you nonetheless.

Please use v3.23.1 !

[herr rilke]

allright! i have v3.23.1

and now it shows "/ajax/foo" in module's ajax-settings, but "forbidden" when following that link

 

[dotnetic]

@herr rilke Try to call the path directly instead of clicking the link. http://localhost/path-to-processwire-site/ajax/foo

[bernhard]

@herr rilke please provide step by step instructions what you did. Provide every file name you created, every file content you put into it, every url you put into your browser. Every important detail about the pw installation (eg is it in a subfolder or not)...

@dotnetic just confirmed that it works for him on windows + in subfolder installation

[herr rilke]

#@!^$

problem was on my side (forgot that i put it here, yesterday) :

<?php

// Prüfen, ob der Aufruf per AJAX erfolgt
if (!$config->ajax) {
    http_response_code(403);
    echo "Forbidden";
    exit;
}

// Beispielantwort
echo "Dies ist die Antwort von /ajax/foo";

after deleting the first part, everything works just fine!

thank you guys for your support!

 

[bernhard]

Great! Have fun 🙂 

[bernhard]

RockFrontend v3.23.2

• PW functions like wire() or modules() are now available in latte files 😍 That also means that translations via __(...) now work natively!
• Several fixes and improvements for the AJAX Endpoints feature
• Improvements to the quite new field() method
• Improved consent tools

[Pavel Radvan]

Hi.
I have problem with your module.
When I click in settings for example on SEO I get Class "DOMDocument" not found error.

Here is screenshot:

 

I have dedicated server with PHP 8.4 and MySQL91.

Same error is also with RockPdf.
Is there aby issue with this ?

Let me know how to fix this.

Thanks
Pavel

[bernhard]

Hi @Pavel Radvan these kind of errors are easy to solve by searching the error message in google: https://www.google.com/search?q=class+domdocument+not+found&oq=class+domdocu&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgAEAAYgAQyBwgAEAAYgAQyBggBEEUYOTIICAIQABgWGB4yCAgDEAAYFhgeMggIBBAAGBYYHjIICAUQABgWGB4yCAgGEAAYFhgeMgYIBxBFGDzSAQgzMDg4ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

[Pavel Radvan]

Thanks very much for quick response...I looked already before, but now noticed that I do not have php dom extension...
After install of it and restart of apache it is OK...

So solved...

[bernhard]

Just released v5.0.0 of RockFrontend

• LiveReload has been removed (moved to RockDevTools)
• styles() and scripts() feature has been removed (moved to RockDevTools)

RockDevTools is unfortunately not a drop-in-replacement as we had to change how assets are handled and included into the final website markup.

The good news is that RockDevTools also supports merging multiple files to one and it will also work with template cache enabled 🙂 

[Stefanowitsch]

@bernhard I stumbled upon the release of RockDevTools in your newsletter.

I mainly used the LiveReload and Asset Minification feature of RockFrontend (if not only those features :-))

Is RockFrontend Deprecated in the near future and would you advice switching to RockDevTools in that case?

RockFrontend will not be deprecated. I need it for every project. I just moved styles() and scripts() and LiveReload to another module.

Regarding asset minification: I need that on almost every module that I create. I have some CSS or LESS files in the module's /src folder and I want to compile them to CSS / minified CSS. I did that using RockFrontend, which is not really what the module was built for. Now this is done with RockDevTools.

Same for LiveReload. I need LiveReload for development, both on the frontend and on the backend. All the time. But only on my development machine, not on production. That's how RockDevTools works now.

[Stefanowitsch]

@bernhard

Can you give me an advice on this?

Following the code examples here https://www.baumrock.com/en/processwire/modules/rockdevtools/docs/assets/

I put this code here inside my <head>

<?= $rockfrontend()->styleTag('/site/templates/styles/styles.min.css'); ?>
<?= $rockfrontend()->scriptTag('/site/templates/scripts/scripts.min.js', 'defer'); ?>

I then get this error message in the frontend:

ArgumentCountError

Too few arguments to function ProcessWire\WireData::__invoke(), 0 passed in /var/www/html/site/templates/elements/_head.php on line 18 and exactly 1 expected search►

Line 18 is this line here:

<?= $rockfrontend()->styleTag('/site/templates/styles/styles.min.css'); ?>

That's wrong. It should either be $rockfrontend or rockfrontend()
