    Hi just wanted to share a site we launched a couple of weeks ago: https://adrslevis.org


    Its for a local dance academy here in Québec Canada. Yes the text is french 8o.


    Currently we are in the first release which is a basic Perch site with the blog, forms, members and shop app. It uses my TinyImg app to optimize images and the shop products are the courses given by the academy. We also have another custom app that allows members to add their kids as 'students' in a (1:N) relationship to be associated with the future registration process.


    Next release we'll be adding in registration using the cart and payments as well as a class management app for instructors and sort of intranet document sharing.


    Constructive criticism is ALWAYS appreciated as well if you seen any issues with the site it would be nice to know.


    Thanks.

    seoMatt - Not too sure what extra JS you would need. Can you please explain the reasoning behind the required page load to switch the menu and why you decided not to go with a media query to toggle it ? In the interest of leaning from others ?


    Thanks!

    I’ve had sites switch back and forth between the two without problems over the years. Like Drew said if your on a shared host there is a decent chance you’re already using Maria without knowing. Just last week I had to export a Maria database and then import it into MySQL with 0 issues.


    Unless you’re using triggers, stored procedures or cursors, you’re not going to see much of a difference, and even then probably not. When Maria first came out we used it for a project because the DB admin wanted us to set up some specific trigger action that wasn’t supported in MySQL at the time, i can’t remember exactly what wasn’t supported but i’m not sure that’s even an issue any more.


    Most of the time I hear people switch it’s based on a grudge held against Oracle.

    Lets not forget that Chrome will be flagging your sites that are not secure which will show up in the address bar and may give users a off-putting experience.


    They already to for sites with login or credit card form and they plan on doing it for all sites soon.


    The tools are there to deliver SSL by default for free, I can't understand why you wouldn't do it even if you may not "Need" to. It just looks more professional even to show the closed padlock beside your url.

    yes but would it be ok if I created and used a simpler outlined version ? As an example, GitLab regular logo vs the Gitlab font icon:


    Or would it be ok if i used the Perch Logo to create an outlined SVG like you would see in a font icon set ? I can transfer it to you for your approval.

    ryan - you’re integrating to a Laravel site to add a cms to the framework? I’ve done that with Yii quite a while ago. The setup URL will probably be captured by the parent framework rewrite rules no? You may need to adjust that. I feel like it’s a familiar issue I ran into too with yii.

    Interesting points to consider there.


    I played around a few years ago setting up a test satis server to play around with. It came with public and private web interfaces as well, so you could as a user either download the zip from the web or install via composer.


    You can set it up so that the default composer install dir is perch/addons.


    It would be the licensing i’m not too sure how it would work.


    I might look into it again and do some testing when I get some free time.


    ryan - an app installer interface is an interesting idea. You could make an app for that! ^^
