ProcessWire Weekly #599

Latest core updates: ProcessWire 3.0.253

In his latest weekly update at the ProcessWire support forum, Ryan talks about some newly added hookable methods in the Page class. There are quite a few of them as a matter of fact — here's a full list, with links to the API reference:

• Page::addReady()
• Page::added()
• Page::addStatusReady()
• Page::addedStatus()
• Page::removeStatusReady()
• Page::removedStatus()
• Page::cloneReady()
• Page::cloned()
• Page::deleteReady()
• Page::deleted()
• Page::editReady()
• Page::moveReady()
• Page::moved()
• Page::renameReady()
• Page::renamed()
• Page::saveReady()
• Page::saved()
• Page::renderPage()

What makes these methods interesting is actually where they are: while many of them were already hookable via the Pages class, having them available via the Page class as well makes them more convenient for some use cases, including custom Page classes. One example is that you can hook into one type of Page, e.g. CustomPage::added(). Or your custom pages could override them directly, without using any hooks at all.

That's all for our core updates section this week. For more details, be sure to check out the weekly update from Ryan. Thanks!

New module: StripePaymentLinks Customer Portal

StripePaymentLinks Customer Portal is a new third-party ProcessWire module created at frameless Media. This is the third publicly released module for StripePaymentLinks module family, the first being the payment solution itself, second being the MailChimp integration, and now this module adding a ready-to-use account page with login flow, product grid, purchase history, and direct access to the Stripe Customer Billing Portal.

The views provided by this module are implemented via templates, and there are some handy methods available that you can use to e.g. render the header buttons anywhere on your site where you need them. Built-in UI elements use Bootstrap classes, and can easily be styled to your specific needs.

In case you're using Stripe Payment Links and would like to add a customer portal to your site, be sure to check this module out. The README file and the modules directory entry for the module contain a detailed getting started guide and plenty of information about involved templates etc.

If you'd like to give this module a try, you can clone or download the module's source code from the StripePlCustomerPortal GitHub repository, or install it via the built-in modules manager in the admin. Please note, though, that this module is currently a beta version, so some extra caution is recommended. For support, head down to the StripePlCustomerPortal support forum thread.

Big thanks to frameless Media for sharing another very interesting module with us!

Site of the week: Karimpol Group

Our latest site of the week belongs to the Karimpol Group, a real estate development company mainly operating in Central and Eastern Europe countries — including Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Austria. Founded in 1991, they are one of the most successful privately held real estate developers in the CEE region.

The Karimpol Group was established in 1991 to undertake real estate development in CEE, mainly in Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Austria.

Created by Digital Deer Agency, the Karimpol Group website features a minimalistic, modern design with varying layout, plenty of high quality photo material, and quite a few transitions and animation effects. Content wise the site is split into a rather hefty projects section, an about section with basic company info and some history, a news section, and a tightly packed contact section. All in all this is a very to-the-point site: nothing unnecessary or superfluous, but still enough to make a solid impression.

As for behind the scenes details, there's not a whole lot we can say here. The front-end appears to be custom-built, with the most prominent third-party dependency being the Animate on Scroll JavaScript animation library, and when it comes to non-core ProcessWire modules, there are none visible on the front-end of this site.

Our congratulations to Karimpol Group for their new, ProcessWire powered website — and of course to the team behind this project at Digital Deer Agency; amazing work from everyone involved in this project!
