    Don't get me wrong, I totally agree that the list that Clive has curated is great.


    But as a developper, if i create an app and Perch had setup the platform from me to market and sell my app to others, I would personally have absolutely no problem passing over a percentage as commission.

    Yeah I saw that some time ago... which is a great start for sure. But i'm wondering if having an official market where people could pay for an app (a cut of the $ should go to Perch IMO). could even have a licensing mechanism that validates a perch key with the app purchased.


    I'm just throwing it out there as an idea, i don't know if its been brought up as a topic before.

    Matt, Thats the assumption I came to as well. I could definitely see the use for a small business owner who only wants to edit content in one place. Although that's not the impression I got from the initial question. Maybe I'm just reading too much between the lines though :/. If i'm not mistaken, micro.blog uses a markdown editor as well, so there is that learning curve you could overcome by using a different editor in another CMS like Perch.


    Agreed a Perch App the exploits the full feature set of the micro.blog would be required. Could even create a dashboard widget maybe to a quick post. Or event canned response posts if you decide to use it as a sort of notification system. Tonnes of possibilities here.


    Interesting concept. I don't partake much in social media for much of the reasons micro.blog states so it sounds great to me.


    If anyone is interested in developing something, i'd be willing to lend a hand.:thumbup:

    davidroberts , what’s the use case here? You’re looking to install a cms to manage the blog posts on a micro.blog account?


    Maybe i’m missing something here, but unless you’re looking for a single system to update your website AND external micro.blog at the same time isn’t using an external CMS essentially the same thing as editing in the micro.blog interface?

    Hi,


    I'm using Perch (not Runway) and I have multiple categories setup to filter products in the Perch Shop.


    I have the following as a category template:


    Code
    1. <perch:category id="catTitle" type="smarttext" label="Age" required="true" />
    2. <perch:category id="catSlug" type="slug" for="catTitle" suppress="true" />
    3. <perch:category id="min" type="number" suppress="true" required label="Age Minimum"/>
    4. <perch:category id="max" type="number" suppress="true" required label="Age Maximum"/>


    I have the following code to filter the categories based on a given age (I'm just testing at this point so its been simplified):


    Code
    1. $age = perch_layout_var('age', true);
    2. $availableAgeCategories = perch_categories([
    3. 'skip-template' => true,
    4. 'set' => 'ages',
    5. 'filter' => 'min',
    6. 'match' => 'lte',
    7. 'value' => $age
    8. ]);


    If I remove the filter I get the full list of age categories as I would expect (as you can see there is at least 1 category that should be returned that has a min age of 6:


    But with the filter I get zero results:




    Not too sure what I'm doing wrong here, i'm sure its stupidly simple on my part.


    Any help ?


    Thanks.

    So I created a new field type called maskedinput which basically just overrides the text fieldtype render_inputs function to allow the "pattern" attribute to be copied over.


    Not ideal, because it doesn't inform the user what the pattern is. But it works. I'll maybe spend some more time another time to get a more refined solution.
