Weekly update from Ryan
This week there are no new core updates to share, but we do have a weekly update from Ryan. In said update Ryan mentions a new module that he is currently working, and hopes to release in the near future. Said module adds a new filter feature for the page list, which looks very useful for cases such as long lists of content that you may want to browse, say, based on the first letter.
We'll let you know as soon as we have more details available about this module, so stay tuned for that.
In the meantime be sure to check out the weekly update from Ryan for more details, and don't hesitate to post a response if you have any feedback, questions, or other comments regarding the module. Thanks!
Weekly forum highlights, tutorials, and other online resources
For this week we've gathered a list of support forum highlights and other useful and hopefully interesting resources. As always, please let us know if there's anything important we've missed, so that we can include it in one of our future issues.
- First of all, there are a couple of exceptionally good showcase forum posts that we'd like to highlight: one about the relaunch of the Hüttenzauber website, and another about barmbek-nord.info, a community portal for a district of Hamburg, Germany. Both are very detailed and definitely worth checking out.
- Moving on to module updates, the PipeEmailToPage module, which we covered a while ago in our weekly issue #555, now has a new version with major enhancements available. If you haven't yet had a chance to check it out, this might be a good time for that.
- Though it's not strictly related to ProcessWire, this one should be interesting for PHP developers in general: a thread and video about a new feature in PHP 8.4, lazy objects. What makes lazy objects so interesting is that they could potentially make PHP projects like ProcessWire more efficient without requiring major architectural changes — which sounds like a win-win situation.
- Last but not least, a Finnish company called Molentum has just published their own comparison of ProcessWire and WordPress, in which they walk the readers through some of the high level differences, without going too deep into technical details. The article is in Finnish, but easily translatable with, say, Google Translate.
That's all for our weekly highlights this time, but just a friendly reminder: Ryan posted a new blog post in the processwire.com blog last week, covering our latest stable/master version, 3.0.244. If you haven't yet had a chance to check said post out, be sure to do that as soon as you can; there's a whole lot of interesting, new stuff in this release!
If you're interested in ProcessWire news, discussions, and updates, there's always something going on at the support forum. Since we're only able to include a tiny selection of all that in our weekly updates, head down to the forum for more.
Site of the week: Híbridos
Our latest site of the week is that of Híbridos. As the sites directory entry for this site explains, Híbridos is a transmedia project created by Vincent Moon, Priscilla Tellmon, and Fernanda Abreu. It is a research into the spirituality and its music in Brazil, comprised of more than 150 films, 75 albums, and various interviews and texts.
The Híbridos project was born from a desire to explore the various ritualistic forms of Brazil, its musicality and its movements, and to enrich a digital body of work aiming at a larger understanding of all those peoples and practices.
The Híbridos website, created by Adrien Goua, features an absolutely stunning design, combining unique interface elements with a simple, magazine article style layout that makes content on this site very easy and enjoyable to consume. This is a multilingual website, available in English, Portuguese, and French, with the content split into two primary sections: an extensive section about the collection of rituals, and a nice one-pager that is all about the movie.
As for some behind the scenes, it looks like the front-end of this site has some Bootstrap framework elements in play, but there's a lot of custom work on top of it as well. Video elements are embedded from Vimeo, and as for non-core ProcessWire modules, there's at least one that we could spot: All In One Minify or AIOM+, used for minifying and serving bundled CSS and JavaScript.
Thanks to Adrien Goua for sharing this project with us, and our congratulations to Híbridos for their new, ProcessWire powered website — as well as the major accomplishment that is the research and movie project itself!
Stay tuned for our next issue
That's all for the 559th issue of ProcessWire Weekly. We'll be back with more news, updates, and content Saturday, 1st of February. As always, ProcessWire newsletter subscribers will get our updates a few days later.
