Duplicate page/product would be a welcome feature for speeding up data population.

More robust category management.

Currently changing the name or location of a category orphans all of it's associations, imagine if moving or renaming a folder on your computer put all it's contained files back to the root folder of the drive.

Making such a change does seem to change the associated category ID, but no front end changes are visibly until each page is opened and resaved.

-----------------------------------------

Also Asset replacement seems to have no effect whatsoever, or am I missing something?

I think the biggest ‘feature’ will be the potential switch in licensing model. If we do go to the proposed yearly model (which to be fair is now pretty much the norm), I think existing licenses should be grandfathered in.

This way we don’t have to have the conversation with clients, and we have the updates for life we were promised at the time of the purchase.

Any new licenses can be what they need to be and can be accommodated for in proposals. I don’t want the yearly subscription but if it means the continuation of Perch so be it.

I think the updating of first-party add-ons is just as important now.

A compatible core is undermined if the add-ons are throwing warning and errors.

To expand a little I want to be able to filter based on the _id so I can include it as featured, but exclude it from the standard news roll so not to include it twice.

If it's not possible, including it twice isn't such a big deal.

$featuredArticle is coming from a perch_content_custom call with true assigned to save it to the variable, not output it.

I echo it out and it returns the correct id (a number) but the filter does not work.

Is there anyway of accessing the thumbnail created by Perch when uploading pdfs.

For example:

When uploading 'samplespecsheet.pdf'

The thumbnail gets created: 'samplespecsheet-w150h150@2x.png'

This would be very useful, but I can't seem to access it from the front end html templates.

That looks great. I’ll give it a shot.

Thanks Ellimondo,

I had seen that in the docs. Does anyone know if this method will reduce the size of an existing table? Or only prevent a new build table getting large?

Thanks Byron, The monitor only accesses the homepage and it only happens occasionally. We have increased the resources so hopefully it won’t happen again.

Solved. I hadn’t wrapped the sample filter in php tags.

That’s how I’m creating the regions using master templates. For new pages it’s fine they appear in the order they are declared. What I’m trying to do is slot one into a specific place in an existing master page.

Bizarrely adding a region at the end as well as the one in the middle or at the start kicks all the other regions into perfect order.

You just end up with a region at the end you don’t want.

Thanks guys. I guess it’s a no.

Blocks are useful however sometimes we want to slot a piece of content into an existing page template in an exact position (after a site has been built), and then have the region appear in the same semantic position in the admin area for existing pages (not just new ones).

Perch doesn’t just add them to the end either. They appear to feature roughly but not exactly where we want. For example I tried to insert one at the start and it appeared second?!

Maybe I need to double check one wasn’t declared anywhere above.

Does anyone have a solution I could use for importing products into perch shop?

I’m not a programmer so ideally would be looking for something I could copy.

Ideal scenario is to import from a csv/excel as we want to quickly import 100s of products for testing into trial categories.

I would also like to know if this is going to be addressed. We have a shop going live very shortly and this has me a little concerned.

Try <perch:blog id=“_id” />

I would like to offer the user the ability to link to specific pages within a collection set.

Eg allow the user to link to pages within a ‘case studies’ section either from a drop down list or a category style tag search box.

is it possible to create a set of manageable options for the user to choose from when creating pages?

Eg give them an area/page of the site they could manage colours, so they can add new ones. Then on a separate page allow them to choose the colours from checkboxes?

I've found the answer somewhere else:
