...with a bit of digging round I can put the category tags in my template. I don't need to do it with PHP - the template will do it.

http://forum.grabaperch.com/fo…-from-a-category-template

I have a list and detail page sorted by 7 categories. Fine all that works.

I've extended this so that each category name has an css class added to give a unique colour in the category list by editing a category template and adding <perch:category id="colour" />. Fine all that works.

The problem is I need to display the active category with it's colour/class inside the perch template on other items used in the detail.php page when it's selected.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to do this?

Back in the days this was an easy remedy to fixing URL's adding the CMS.

https://docs.grabaperch.com/pe…ernal-links-with-replace/

However these days there's a mix of users adding either http:// or https:// which mean there's how a 50% chance these links are breaking and annoying the client.

Is there anything to help fix this?

Yes it does work. Turns out to be a different issue of a FTP client failing to upload a file correctly. Duh.

Can I use Using<perch:blocks> in a Perch Blog templates? It looks like you can't.

The issue was tracked down to a rougeperch:if - it's fixed

I've tidied up the php error by reviewing the perch:if tags.

I'm not sure if Runway is the solution here. I run a similar site using virtually the same template and it's as fast as you like in Perch 3 with about 100 products/properties.

However looking at a de-bug i'm getting a Template max limit hit for perch:if tags, or malformed template.

Is there a max limit for perch:if tags in Perch 3 or generally?

This is the dev environment on a hosting account.

The error appears when a list and detail page is loaded with some 130 items to load. Could a bad id attribute value cause 130 items to load slowly?

I'll check through the perch:if tags and see if I can spot something.

I have a demo site for a client where the pages are loading unusually slowly. Looking at the Error log in the hosting I can see....

mydemosite.co.uk [Tue Mar 26 16:16:08 2019] [error] [client 212.159.100.157:0] PHP Warning: array_key_exists(): The first argument should be either a string or an integer in /home/sites/6a/4/4d180f6999/public_html/mydemosite/cms/core/lib/PerchTemplate.class.php on line 1120

I'm running the site with...

• Perch: 3.1.4, PHP: 7.2.16, MySQL: mysqlnd 5.0.12-dev - 20150407 - $Id: 3591daad22de08524295e1bd073aceeff11e6579 $, with PDO
• Server OS: Linux, cgi-fcgi

Can anyone advise?

Thanks. That's the way I was doing this, just checking if there was all alternative neater way by Testing or matching multiple values in one line... https://docs.grabaperch.com/templates/conditionals/if/

There's a load of options to work through on this job.

If have two id's in a template for example...

<perch:content id="size" type="select" options="small,medium,large"  />

<perch:content id="colour" type="select" options="red,blue,green"  />

How can I test and output a result if id="size" is 'small' AND if id="colour" is 'green'

Note to self... This will make test if id="slug" matches the url

How can I add a class to highlight a current menu item on list and detail page?

I'd need to compare the {slug} with id="title" How do I do this?

Ah! max="1" Never knew that. Perfect.

I could now use a override list with all the alternatives the client needs to display...

I suppose there's no way of making a category selection show as radio buttons? This would fix this.

Noted drewm the <perch:else> is redundant here.

Thanks hus_hmd , yes there's only two categories in sale.

I'm trying to cover the instance when the editor by design or mistake selects both.

I have two categories in a category set. The following tests if one or the other is ticked. Fine.

However I'd like to test if both categories are ticked and output...

TO LET (may sell)

Can this be done using perch:categories and perch:if ?

found it.

<?php perch_content('Footer Terms '); // shared footer terms ?>

Space after Terms '

Argh.

the 404.php shows....

So for example looking at the 404 page (there's others) has the following php...

<?php include('cms/runtime.php');?>
<?php perch_content('Address'); // shared footer address ?>

<?php perch_content('Footer Terms '); // shared footer terms ?>

<?php echo date("Y"); ?>

Address and Footer Terms are shared Perch content. It's usually the case this either never appears in the page list or can be deleted (with a copy replacement) which would not re-appear if the page was ever visited.

I've never had Category, detail, 404 etc pages appear or keep re-appearing,
