ProcessWire Weekly #90

For the 90th issue of ProcessWire Weekly we have a new module, a bunch of interesting resources, and also some pretty awesome core updates to share. Read on!

First of all, we're extremely excited about the latest core updates. They're all tremendously useful and once again make working with ProcessWire a bit easier, a bit more efficient and a bit more fun – just the way we like it.

In other news we have some interesting links to share in the resources of the week section, and we're also taking a closer look at a new module by Macrura, who also happens to be the author behind our latest site of the week.

All in all it's been another great week, and we're happy to have you here with us. If there's anything we could improve, please let us know; our feedback form is always open, and we're more than happy to hear what you folks have to say.

New module: PrevNextTabs adds prev and next tabs to Page Edit

PrevNextTabs, the latest module by Macrura, adds new prev and next tabs to Page Edit. The intention is to make moving between sibling pages a one-click action, but the tabs also display the title of the target page in a tooltip when hovered.

The module's README mentions the development phase of a site as one potential use case: with tabs for prev and next pages, content editors can move around with ease without stepping into the page tree at all.

Either way, for certain use cases this seems like a very handy module, so thanks to Macrura for sharing it with us. You can grab this module from GitHub and any questions you might have should go to the dedicated support forum thread.

ProcessWire resources of the week

Here's the latest bunch of support forum highlights and other resources you folks might find interesting and/or useful. 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. Thanks!

If you're interested in ProcessWire news, discussions, and updates, there are always interesting discussions going on at the support forum. Since we're only able to include a tiny selection of those in our weekly updates, head down to the forums for more action.

Site of the week: Roger Shapiro Fund for New Music

Our latest site of the week, Roger Shapiro Fund, is a fund for commissioning, performance, and recording of New Music. Established in 2010 by composer/pianist Dina Koston, the fund was named after her late husband, psychiatrist Roger Shapiro.

This site was built by Nibiri Creative Services and introduced by Macrura in a recent forum post along with other recent projects. The quality of the site is very much in line with what we've come to expect from Nibiri: it looks great, works great on both mobile and desktop sizes, and the style fits the theme exceptionally.

Some noteworthy features of the site include a loading animation for pages, fade-in for certain content blocks, Facebook comments used for news items and jQuery DataTables used for representing tabular data. Behind the scenes the site apparently makes use of at least two pro modules, ProCache and FormBuilder.

Thanks to Macrura for sharing this site with us – wonderful work as always!

Stay tuned for our next issue

That's it for the 90th issue of ProcessWire Weekly. We'll be back with more news, updates, and content Saturday, 6th of February. As always, ProcessWire newsletter subscribers will get our updates a few days later.

Thanks for staying with us, once again. Hope you've had a great and productive week, and don't forget to check out the ProcessWire forums for more interesting topics. Until next week, happy hacking with ProcessWire!
