I'm using the archive.php pretty much out of the box from the Blog install.

My category set is News (slug: news) and category is test (path: news/test)

My archive.php page:

PHP

<?php
$siteSection = 'news-archive';
$pageTitle = 'News Archive';
$posts_per_page = 10;
$template = 'post_in_list.html';
$sort_order = 'DESC';
$sort_by = 'postDateTime';
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/head.php');
?>
<div id="page_banner">
<div class="container">
<div class="caption-wrap">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<p>News archive</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php
perch_pages_navigation(array(
'template' => 'section_nav',
'from-path' => '*',
'flat' => true,
'from-level' => 1,
'levels' => 1,
'include-hidden' => true, // to show secondary nav parent on navgroup 'audience' pages
));
?>
<section>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-9">
<div class="row">
<?php

$posts_displayed = false;
/*
perch_get() is used to get options from the URL.
e.g. for the URL
/blog/archive.php?cat=news
perch_get('cat') would return 'news' because cat=news.
The code below looks for different options in the URL, and then displays different types of listings based on it.

Thanks, so what should I do to fix the issue? I'd just like a clean url to news categories.

SimonClay · Mar 26th 2020

Hi, I have a Perch Runway site (v2.8.34) with Blog (5.0).

On the archive page, I have the routes as shown on the docs: https://docs.grabaperch.com/addons/blog/runway/config/

Like so:

news/[year:year]

news/[year:year]/[i:month]

news/category/[slug:cat]

news/tag/[slug:tag]

news/author/[slug:author]

I have added a category of 'test' to one of the posts

But, visiting https://www.hfhcare.co.uk/news/category/test displays no results.

However this URL does work: https://www.hfhcare.co.uk/news/archive?cat=news/test but does not add 'Test' to the heading 'Archive of...'

I must have missed a setting or template somewhere. Can anyone help?

SimonClay · Feb 21st 2020

Thanks hus_hmd that is helpful and much appreciated.

SimonClay · Feb 20th 2020

What I mean is, that, with Perch 2, you could follow the Redactor documentation and implement the code more easily, but now you have to translate it into the Perch 3 config way of things.

SimonClay · Feb 20th 2020

Ah, yes, I use that already.

But I cannot stop Redactor stripping out HTML tags like <span>

I've spent hours on it now, but cannot make it work.

This was much simpler when Redactor wasn't part of Perch Core.

SimonClay · Feb 20th 2020

Thanks ryan how do you apply that?

SimonClay · Feb 20th 2020

Thanks, so what’s causing those tags to be stripped out?

SimonClay · Feb 19th 2020

Thanks hus_hmd,

This seems to be the setting: https://imperavi.com/redactor/…/paste/#s-pasteinlinetags

But I cannot get it to work. Can you see where I've gone wrong?

Code

Perch.UserConfig.redactor = function () {
var get = function(profile, config, field) {
config.pasteInlineTags = ['a', 'img', 'br', 'strong', 'ins', 'code', 'del', 'span', 'samp', 'kbd', 'sup', 'sub', 'mark', 'var', 'cite', 'small', 'b', 'u', 'em', 'i'];
return config;
};
return {
'get': get,
'load': load
}
}();

When I paste HTML into code view in Redactor it strips out the <span> tags. How can I stop this happening?

SimonClay · Feb 4th 2020

Is this feature available in Perch or Perch Runway yet?

SimonClay · Jan 13th 2020

Thanks Clive, no I was just asking if that was the known reason that Perch Runway 2 gives that error.

If that's the case and there's not a quick fix (it would seem there isn't), I might start to make plans to update to Perch Runway 3, configuring Redactor, notifying the client of a different UI etc.

Many thanks.

I am getting the error message:

Failed HTTP status 400 {"error": "v1_retired"}

I guess this is because Runway 2 only uses Dropbox APIv1 and I guess Perch Runway 3 uses Dropbox API v2?

Is there a way to get it to work in Runway 2?

SimonClay · Jan 10th 2020

Thanks very much!

SimonClay · Jan 7th 2020

Thanks Robert, yes there is an option for a honeypot. I am working on the Akismet addition.

Quote from Ketterus

Oh yeah.... already pulled the trigger on this purchase. You did an amazing job on this app Simon.

Hey, thank you Robert! That means a lot to me, especially coming from you!

SimonClay · Jan 4th 2020

Hi, it doesn't yet, but it is on the roadmap for development.

SimonClay · Jan 1st 2020

Hey thanks very much guys.

I downloaded the Sample App at: https://docs.grabaperch.com/api/apps/

But when installing it in Perch 3 and going to the Sample tab in the sidebar, I get the error message:

Code

Notice: ob_flush(): failed to flush buffer. No buffer to flush in /perch3/perch/core/inc/sidebar_start.php on line 2

Hi everyone, I hope all is well with you, that your Perch developments are going well and that you're having a good holiday break.

I've been out of the Perch loop for a while, but wanted to announce something I've been working on for a long time:

Form Builder App for Perch

It's an app that makes it easy to create Perch forms within the Perch edit page, using familiar Content tools.

You can see a video of how to install it and use it here: https://www.sly-design.co.uk/perch-cms/

I hope you like it and find it useful. I am making a small charge for it, so I can maintain and develop it further.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts or comments.

Thanks.
