Weekly update – 2 February 2024

[ryan]

This week I was wrapping up the client project I mentioned last week (just launched today here), but did get some updates added to the core as well. Primarily the addition of some smaller feature requests. 

One of the features added is a README.md and CHANGELOG.md viewer to each module's configuration/info screen. When a module has one of those files in it, it is now viewable from within the admin. You'll see the links them at the bottom of the "Module information" section of any module's config/info screen in the admin. 

Other requested features added were: Support for OPTIONS, CONNECT and TRACE methods in WireHttp. And, A new hookable method in ImageSizerEngineIMagick added via a PR from Robin S. 

Support for <hr> elements has been added in InputfieldSelect and InputfieldSelectMultiple. It was news to me, but apparently <hr> (horizontal rule) elements are now supported by browsers between <option> tags in <select> elements, rendering a nice separator between options when you want them. So our Select inputfields now support that. To add a horizontal rule/separator, just add an option with 3 or more dashes/hyphens. Programmatically you would do a call like this when you are between options where you want the <hr> to appear: 

$inputfield->addOption('---');

Or, if specifying options as text (as you would with Options fields, or several other Fieldtypes), you would just enter a line with 3 or more dashes on it, and nothing else. So if we had an select where you could select a color, and we wanted to separate RGB from the other colors, we could do this on its configuration screen:

R=Red
G=Green
B=Blue
---
O=Orange
P=Pink
C=Cyan

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Hey Ryan, thx for all the updates and congrats on the launch! 

I am seeing a horizontal scrollbar on screen sizes around 850-900 in chrome, but only when I size the window without devtools!

Hey,

Thanks for the updates!

Nice website, @ryan. Just out of curiosity, why am I seeing this?

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/wire/modules/AdminTheme/AdminThemeUikit/uikit/dist/css/uikit.min.css">
<script src="/wire/modules/Jquery/JqueryCore/JqueryCore.js"></script>
<script src="/wire/modules/AdminTheme/AdminThemeUikit/uikit/dist/js/uikit.min.js"></script>

Any specific reason for doing this instead of:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/uikit@3.18.0/dist/css/uikit.min.css" />

Cheers

@BoostGuess stability, security and privacy data protection. I don‘t like my IP send to CDN servers and for some of my customers this would be a no go at all.

And maybe Ryan is transpiling this CSS from SCSS, this is how I use UIKit.
