Yes it is actually - would that make a difference here? It is included in a lot of pages but I can do a republish

Hi,

I have a Perch form that is submitting twice when being used - generating 2x emails, 2x records in the Forms area of the panel etc. This is the form code:

Code

Has anyone seen this behaviour before?

I think focal point support for image cropping would be a great addition

Hi,

I am trying to log on to a recently-moved Perch site (changed hosting). I am getting redirected to:

/admin/?r=%2Fadmin%2Fcore%2Fapps%2Fcontent%2F

Has anyone had this before? I am not sure where to start to be honest. I can see phpinfo and have ftp access to the hosting but nothing beyond that. Help greatly appreciated!

I am building a site for a recruitment agency in Perch Runway. I have a category set called locations, with a few categories listed in it. As part of the CV submission process I would like the applicant to indicate which locations they are interested in. I am using the Perch Forms app. Currently I am hard-coding the options like so:

Code

<div>
<perch:input type="checkbox" id="location_london" value="Yes" label="Interested in London Vacancies"/>
<perch:label for="location_london">London</perch:label>
</div>
<div>
<perch:input type="checkbox" id="location_shropshire" value="Yes" label="Interested in Shropshire Vacancies"/>
<perch:label for="location_shropshire">Shropshire</perch:label>
</div>
<div>
<perch:input type="checkbox" id="location_west_midlands" value="Yes" label="Interested in West Midlands Vacancies"/>
<perch:label for="location_west_midlands">West Midlands</perch:label>
</div>
<div>
<perch:input type="checkbox" id="location_staffordshire_stoke_on_trent" value="Yes" label="Interested in Staffordshire / Stoke-on-Trent Vacancies"/>
<perch:label for="location_staffordshire_stoke_on_trent">Staffordshire / Stoke-on-Trent</perch:label>
</div>

Ideally I would like those to be generated from the category set, so the client can manage the categories themselves. Is this possible, and if so what is the best way of going about it?

Thanks

Mike

Have you tried removing the type="hidden" from the ones that aren't appearing? I think that might be what is causing the issue

MikeHarrison · Jun 26th 2019

Caleb, that's a great solution that had totally escaped me! Thank you

Hi,

While building / testing a site I invariably do quite a few form submissions to the Forms app

I would like to reset the form submissions count to 0 for site handover (currently even if I delete all the responses the next one will be given the next number in the sequence e.g. Response #30). Is there a way I can do this? Not a major issue obviously but nice to give the client as clean a start as possible.

Cheers

Mike

Ah yes - hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the pointer Drew.

For those that come after, this is what I did in addons/templates/filters.php :

Code

class PerchTemplateFilter_timesince extends PerchTemplateFilter
{
public function filterAfterProcessing($value, $valueIsMarkup = false)
{
$postDate = $value;
$today = date('Y-m-d');
$date1 = date_create($today);
$date2 = date_create($postDate);
$diff = date_diff($date1,$date2);
$days = $diff->format("%a");
$months = $diff->format("%m");
if ($months > 0) {
$posted = 'Posted ' . $months . ' months ago';
}
elseif ($days > 0) {
$posted = 'Posted ' . $days . ' days ago';
}
else {
$posted = 'Posted today';
}
return $posted;
}
}
PerchSystem::register_template_filter('timesince', 'PerchTemplateFilter_timesince');

I am trying to work out the best way to structure this page. It is the 'detail' part of a list-detail setup using Collections. The issue is I am constructing a variable based on data from the collection item, and need to then show that as part of the template. This is what I have so far:

Code

$selectedVacancy = perch_get('s');
if($selectedVacancy){
$vacancy = perch_collection('Vacancies',[
'template' => 'vacancies/vacancy_single',
'skip-template' => true,
'return-html' => true,
'filter' => 'slug',
'match' => 'eq',
'value' => $selectedVacancy
]);
// Checks for when the posting was and sets a variable
$postDate = $vacancy[0]['post_date'];
$date1 = date_create($today);
$date2 = date_create($postDate);
$diff = date_diff($date1,$date2);
$days = $diff->format("%a");
$months = $diff->format("%m");
if ($months > 0) {
$posted = 'Posted ' . $months . ' months ago';
}
elseif ($days > 0) {
$posted = 'Posted ' . $days . ' days ago';
}
else {
$posted = 'Posted today';
}
PerchSystem::set_var('posted', $posted);
echo $vacancy['html'];
}

So in the template vacancies/vacancy_single I want to use the $posted variable (e.g. <perch:content id="posted">), but of course I can't because it is being set after the perch_collection. There is probably a simple solution to this but I can't see it! Thanks for any help.

I am just starting on a site for a recruitment agency using Perch Runway, which needs a jobs filter as part of the vacancy listing. I have included an image of the filter, showing the options I need to have:

When a job is added to the Vacancies Collection in Perch, only one option from each list will be able to be selected (i.e. a job can only have one Location, one Job Type and one Contract Type).

However when a person searches on the site they need to be able to select more than one, so they could be interested in Primary jobs, in both West Midlands and Shropshire for instance.

My question is, is it best to use Categories for the above, with a Set for each? I have used Categories before and used the category-match option, however in this case I don't think either 'category-match' => 'all' or 'category-match' => 'any' would be quite right, as if in the scenario above the visitor selected Primary for Job Type, and West Midlands and Shropshire for Location if I used all no jobs would show as none can have more than one location, and if I used any then it would show Primary jobs in London, which isn't correct.

What would be my best approach for this? Thanks for any help, I want to start off on the right foot before adding the vacancies in!

Hi Drew,

Yes I have done that with the site I am working on currently, which is fine. It's just a few hoops to jump through to pull down the latest database for working on locally, compared to a button within Perch.

MikeHarrison · Apr 11th 2019

Hi,

Something I think would be useful is a "Download Database" button somewhere in the Perch / Perch Runway admin area. To trigger a download of a zipped copy of the .sql file.

Would this be possible / would anyone else find this useful?

Cheers

Mike
