Verk - Site operations layer

[maximus]

Hi everyone,

Most project management tools are generic. Verk is built specifically around ProcessWire's data model — tasks link directly to PW pages, the calendar reads real page date fields, and content audits run PW selectors. Everything stays inside your install.

GitHub: https://github.com/mxmsmnv/Verk

Why Verk?

Verk means "work" or "task" in Icelandic and Swedish. Short, abstract, and fitting for a tool built around getting things done inside ProcessWire. It follows the same naming approach as other modules in this series — Arbor, Ichiban, Collections — names that mean something without being literal.

What it does

• Dashboard — open tasks, upcoming publications, audit alerts, and active sprint planning
• Tasks — create/assign tasks linked to specific PW pages; one click opens the page editor directly
• Calendar — month, week, and quarter views for page publications and task due dates
• Content Audit — run PW selectors with dot-notation field checks to find missing content
• Knowledge Base — rich editorial notes organized by category, searchable and exportable
• Sprints — sprint planning, quarter grouping, task assignment, DOCX export, and progress tracking

Key details:

• Tasks store page_id — page data lives in PW, never duplicated
• Page Editor Widget injected via hookAfter('ProcessPageEdit::buildForm') — no template files modified
• Audit to tasks — bulk-create tasks from audit results with page context prefilled
• Rich text via TinyMCE when InputfieldTinyMCE is installed
• DOCX exports for task lists, notes, sprints, and knowledge base
• Return-aware forms — create/edit flows preserve filtered list URLs

Requirements: ProcessWire 3.0.200+, PHP 8.0+

@maximus - this is really great - thank you. 

I have gone to town with bug reports and feature suggestions on the repo though - hope you don't mind the barrage :)

[maximus]

Yes, I see a lot of issues there, of course I'll fix them! Thanks a lot for testing!

So... to keep up with your awesome modules, I decided to up my caffeine-intake to 1,200mg per day now.
I love it!

There are still a few modules left to do...

[maximus]

Verk 1.5.0 is out.

This release includes the recent task/status and editorial workflow improvements, plus a cleanup of the module internals:

• inline task status dropdowns on Dashboard and Tasks
• email notifications for newly assigned/collaborating/reviewing users
• hidden/unpublished/trashed page status indicators
• user-scoped Content Audit rules
• several Dashboard, Tasks, Calendar, pagination, and editor layout refinements
• the former Verk.module.php monolith is now split into src/Traits and src/Services, with Verk.module.php kept as the ProcessWire entrypoint

ProcessWire module version is now 150, so run Modules > Refresh after updating.

Big thanks to Adrian for the PRs, testing, screenshots, and follow-up feedback that helped shape a lot of this release.
