My Sample Add-On

When you say empty, do you mean the template doesn't output any content (just the HTML markup)?

If so, to check what you have access to inside the template you can use <perch:showall>. Alternatively, you can use the skip-template option and inspect the returned items in PHP.

that <perch:showall> is NICE! Thank you! so the template was using <perch:sample> and that worked with it as is, but with your $filtered_things code the namespace was <perch:content> and now it works! Will this cause any issues down the road?

Also THANK YOU! how can I send you some cookies?

Running into an issue where it will only filter by the default tags and not custom ones this message pops up in the debug

Code

Invalid query: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'companyID' in 'where clause'

Does this mean it will only filter columns that aren't in the dynamic content field?

You can specify the namespace you want to use in your class:

PHP

class MySample_Things extends PerchAPI_Factory {
protected $namespace = 'sample';
.
.
.
}

Correct. You can't filter by dynamic fields unless you have an index table.
