Thanks for this new plugin.

I'm eager to make it work with a new project that would handle on a single request a lot of pages. But I'm having trouble to simply use BoostID.

Maybe I'm confused with your other plugin AutoID which was really straightforward and easy to use. With BoostID I seem not able to create and ID out of the box by following your instruction here.

I have installed:

• kirby3-boost
• kirby3-sqlite-cachedriver

I have the config.php with:

return [
    'smartypants' => true,
    'debug' => false,
    'bnomei.boost.cache' => ['type' => 'sqlite']
];

In my models folder I have the following file article.php:

class ArticlePage extends \Bnomei\BoostPage
{
}

and finally in the panel I have article.yml:

columns:
  - width: 2/3
    fields:
      boostid:
        type: boostid
      headline:
        type: writer
        marks:
          - italic
      text: fields/blocks
      source:
        type: textarea

  - width: 1/3
    sections:
      meta:
        type: fields
        fields:
          date:
            type: date
            time: false
            default: now
          category: tags/category

When in article.php I try to output the boostID nothing is return, also the article.txt doesn't register the boostID. Finally in the panel if I check the article, there is the following error: SQLite3Stmt::execute(): Unable to execute statement: UNIQUE constraint failed: cache.id

Sorry for the long message, but maybe I don't understand how it differs from autoID where the ID was naturally register on the .txt file.

Hi there,

Been enjoying a lot of your productions. I was wondering if there is a way to do the same with BoostID when it comes to re-index the ID or force that specific page cache to be purged?

I tried to execute this: $cachedYesOrNoAsBoolean = $page->boost(); In the page frontend but it's still keep the cache and doesn't re-index the missing ID on the translated pages.

Indeed, sometimes I face a strange issue where translated pages don't get an ID… Still need to figure out what steps lead to that issue. But often case, it would nice to have a button in the panel to do that, mainly for the translated page I guess, because that's where that issue occurs.

Hi there,

I am trying to set up Boost for the first time and I am not sure, if I am doing something wrong, but I don't get it to work.

Initial situation I have a site where I need to handle a lot (~5000) of front end form entries. Every entry ends up as its own page. Now in a first step, I want to allow to navigate those entries in the panel. As the page already slows down when I throw 1000 test entries at it, I thought that the Boost plugin could help in that case.

First question: Is that even the correct use case for the plugin? To speed up handling thousands of pages in the panel?

Now, I tried to set this up. I put this in my blueprint:

site/templates/application.yml

fields:
  boostid:
    type: boostid

Then I created a page model for the application page:

site/models/application.php

<?php

class Application extends \Kirby\Cms\Page {
    use \Bnomei\PageHasBoost;
}

Then I call this in some template (any template is good for that, right? I just would need to open the template once?):

site/models/someTemplate.php

<?php
  kirby()->impersonate('kirby');
  site()->boost();
 ?>

However, after calling the template, when I check the panel, the BoostID field is still empty. (I should see something there when it's working, right?)

I tried then setting the cache driver in the config file:

site/config/config.php

<?php
return [
   'bnomei.boost.cache' => [
       'type'     => 'apcu',
   ]
];

But I get this error message:

When I switch to memcached, I get this error message instead:

And when I set it explicitly to 'type' => 'file', just nothing happens.

I am running this on PHP 8.0 on a local Laravel Valet setup, as described here. I am using Kirby 3.6.2.

Any idea, what could be going wrong?

Thanks a lot!

Hello!

It's me again, after being able to transfer my project from autoID to BoostID, I wanted to know if BoostID is compatible with a structure object?

I'm trying to have a page where there is a structure called "Categories" with inner fields that contains a title and the BoostID, for exemple:

categories:
    type: structure
    translate: false
    columns:
      color:
        width: 1/4
      category:
        width: 3/4
    fields:
      category:
        label: Category
        type: text
      boostid: fields/boostid

This page is unlisted but still has a models page in order to use BoostID. Nevertheless, I'm not able to create the ID's via:

kirby()->impersonate('kirby');
site()->boost();
// or this
foreach(site()->index(true) as $page) {
   $page->boost();
}

Before I had autoID for each of the structure items and I could use the immutable ID's to retrieve the title of the category or change it without breaking all articles related to this category.

Would appreciate a hint or how to achieve that with structure object.

Hi there, it seems I cannot run any of the demo pages right now, they all show an error message.

Would be cool if this could be fixed, without the demo pages I am somewhat lost on what to expect. :)

Thanks! trych

Hi,

I'm still exploring the plugin and I think there is an issue with how boostID is handling date in a multi-languages website.

I noticed that when playing with translation. In my case it was from FR to EN (where I have 'date.handler' => 'strftime' enabled in config.php).

This is the config of a clean installation with the minimal requirements to run boostID on my local machine: Kirby: v.3.6.1.1 PHP: 8.0 Debug: off Plugins: bnomei/boost & bnomei/sqlite-cachedriver

config.php:

<?php
return [
  'debug' => false,
  'languages' => true,
  'smartypants' => true,
  'date.handler' => 'strftime',
  'bnomei.boost.cache' => [
    'type'     => 'sqlite'
  ],
];

models/default.php:

<?php
class DefaultPage extends \Kirby\Cms\Page
{
    use \Bnomei\PageHasBoost;
}

blueprints/default.yml:

preset: page
fields:
  text:
    label: Text
    type: textarea
    size: large
  dateStart:
        label:
          fr: Date de début
          en: Start date
          de: Startdatum
        type: date
        width: 1/2
        default: today
        display: DD.MM.YYYY
        translate: false
  dateEnd:
    label:
      fr: Date de fin
      en: End date
      de: Enddatum
    type: date
    width: 1/2
    default: today + 1day
    display: DD.MM.YYYY
    translate: false
  boostid:
    type: boostid

How to reproduce the issue:

1. Create a post in the default language (my case it was FR) that have a boostID field.
2. Enter some content
3. Save
4. Change language (to EN)
5. Edit the content
6. Save
7. Go back to the default language
8. Switch back to EN, the date is not showing anymore.

But if you disable the boost function by commenting out the models/default.php, it works. Dates are shown.

Do you know why it doesn't work? Particularly with English, I tried with other languages like German, dates are shown.

Hello,

I've been experimenting a weird behaviour likely related to this and #6

Basically, fields with the translate: false option stop displaying values in the translated page. This is an issue in the website as well as in the panel, where the fields with the translate: false options appear empty. Since these fields are also required, this basically blocks editors from saving pages in the translated versions...

When I set to debug: false;, the problem dissappear. Also, when I set 'bnomei.boost.cache' => false, the problem also stops. So I guess it must be from the cache?

Of course, not using the translate: false option could solve the issue, as well as making a page model that would overwrite the field values that should not be translated (since they would then be hard-coded within the content files). So far I set off the boost cache, but I'm unsure this should be the best long-term solution as I do see very pleasant performance gains by using the (sqlite) cache!

I've seen a wontfix tag on #6 and was curious about the issue, is there a lot of complexity into making this work with translate: false? I guess it's another layer of complexity on top?

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a specific steps to take in order to update the plugin in accordance with the latest Kirby release (+3.8.0), specifically related to the use of UUID, from my understanding, we don't need to provide the field:

boostid:
    type: boostid

on the page we want to use boostID with? There seems to have few changes I wonder if the changes might break current website if I blindly update Boost and Kirby?

Changes I meant are for the page models: use \Bnomei\PageHasBoost; to use \Bnomei\ModelHasBoost; or the ->fromBoostIDs() to ->toPagesBoosted()

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you!
