There's a forum post from hus_hmd about this that should have what you're looking for.

Gareth S You've said that V4 is complete... that you have a preview version... that you're chasing it up... Can we just have some honest communication here?Where are we at with this?

You could maybe re-index the Collection to update each item https://grabapipit.com/blog/re-indexing-collections

@Gareth S Yes, I'd love to take a look at the preview.

Can you provide an updated, realistic release date?

Is there any release news? 3.3? 4?

Gareth S I'm pleased to hear that you're on track for v4 at the end of June. Are you now able to share some info of what v4 will actually bring?

Built-in multi-site support (e.g. for multilingual / multiple localizations projects).

Gareth S Can you share what we can expect to see in v4?

I had a similar issue recently and it seems that perch_template doesn't render categories. There's a post on the old forum about it here http://forum.grabaperch.com/fo…-doesnt-render-categories from 3 years ago. Maybe something for Perch 4.0...

https://www.speakeasybcn.com and https://www.gritconsortium.org are two projects from this year that I'm happy with. Both use Runway plus Blog and Forms.

Hi there,

I'd like to use Perch Search to include content from Blog templates using Blocks. I'm aware that Blog custom fields aren't searchable and it also appears that using a postDescHTML field within Blocks means that the content isn't searchable.

I'm wondering if anyone has any workarounds or suggestions for this? Or any recommendations for alternative search solutions that have worked well with Perch projects?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

I saw similar behaviour (changes in the Meta and Social tab causing the post template to switch) and mentioned it in this forum post http://forum.grabaperch.com/fo…ault-post-template-issues.

For me this was resolved by making sure that the post template for the other blog was located in the /blog/posts folder and not in /blog as per the last two comments on the thread.

Thanks ellimondo (and montlewis ) that's interesting to see. I can get a timestamp with that, but it will update on every save of the colletion item, whereas I'm looking for a timestamp of the initial item creation (which won't change on subsequent item saves).

If I print_r($Item) within the timestamp.class.php I can see an itemCreated string that is exactly what I need but I'm not sure how to get at it...

Hi,

I have a client who would like to see the creation date / time of items in a Collection. I could add a date field to the Collection item edit template but we don't want this to be editable by all site editors. Is there a way to achieve this without digging around in the database?

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Thanks very much hus_hmd, that could be just what I'm looking for — I'll certainly take a look at that. Really appreciate you taking the time to reply to this

Hi,

Just checking in to see if anyone might have any suggestions on this.

Basically, I'm looking for a way to push an item into a Form Response (stored in Perch admin) after a form has been submitted.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

I have a Perch form that presents users with a number of questions from which users can indicate an answer by selecting one item from a group of radio buttons. On submission, I'm showing a thank you page that gets the responses using $_POST and calculates a total score (1 point for each correct answer).

This is all running correctly and the form submission is stored as expected in the Perch Forms admin.

What I would also like to do is get the total calculated score into the Forms admin also. What would be the best way to achieve this?

Are there, for example, form event hooks that would allow me (on submission) to create a hidden field set to the value of the total score?

Or any other approach?

Many thanks in advance for any pointers or suggestions.

Just facing the same issue and used a Perch replace attribute to resolve it:

It's a workaround but it does the job.

hus_hmd Oh dear, that is embarrassing! Thanks so much for spotting that — all resolved now.
