I must admit, I haven't got much to add. I think the points covered by hus_hmd and Tobe echo my thoughts. We all want Perch to succeed and we're all very excited to see improvements on the details that really improve the overall product.

The communication side of things is key for me, timescales don't bother me but knowing what's happening and what future plans are is super important for both me and my clients, so we can make decisions and plan future development releases. The lack of updates, radio silence and and social stagnation has almost made Perch untenable for me as a product for my clients, but I'm hoping for some news/announcements early Q1 so I can make an informed decision and hopefully continue to use Perch (it's a fantastic unrivalled product, it just needs some love, care and attention in the details!).

Hey Ryan,

Does this app work with the Perch Members / Shop Customers registration forms too? I don't think those have a spam section, so I was wondering if this was only for custom Forms such as contact submissions.

Hey,

It doesn't currently, only Perch Forms unfortunately.

I did check the logs, but it's just a pure timeout based on max execution time of 30 seconds, can't see any errors in logs

That was my first port of call - I've reduced to two for now to see if I can get the index down. I'm hoping Perch 4 can bring some improvements and optimisations in this area!

Seen this issue quite a bit lately. So hard to debug, hence not posting on here!

Hi,

I have an issue with reordering items in a collection, where basically the site returns 500 error and a connection timeout upon save of a reorder. The site has over about 10 collections and there's about 1000 items, so it's a larger dataset.

When running a reorder on a smaller collection, there seems to be a specific slow query both on production server and local testing environment:

It takes "2.8132" to execute and is called for each item in the collection I believe? The collection_revisions table has 2928 rows in.

The php function is:

Cheers as always,

Hey!

Have you set the honeypot field in Perch's settings in admin? Have you updated the form app to `mbk_forms`.

Hi Jakeness ,

You'd use the perch:error on the honeypot field, not the g-recaptcha-response field. I'm not sure if Perch natively has an error for the honeypot field, but you could use the following to catch all types of errors:

Hey!

I don't think this feature currently exists, but it'd be awesome if we could add a filter to `perch:related` to choose from a subset of collection items (e.g. exclude items in a collection with a 'hidden' tag).

Cheers,

Ryan

Looks like there's a bit of movement on this:

Good to hear, thanks Drew!

This is down to the way Recaptcha v3 works (google: recaptcha v3 marking as spam and you'll see the issues developers are having).

For a small contact form v2 seems to be more reliable and proven. I've actually updated the docs to show how you can integrate with v2 or v3.

Hope that helps!

Hey,

Would love to see the option to collapse dividers (divider-before="") on load by default - I have a big template with multiple dividers, and some aren't needed to be open by default as they aren't edited that regularly. Perch groups allow this but dividers make more sense within a repeater.

Cheers,

Ryan

+1!

Hey,

I haven't personally, no! It's recaptcha that works out what's genuine and what's spam, might be worth tweaking some settings in the admin console and maybe lowering the spam detection level?

Have you put the script on every page?

Cheers,

Ryan

ryan, does this mean any EU online store must implement a 3D Secure enabled payment flow now?

'3D Secure 2', yeah. Before September 14, 2019. Otherwise payments may get declined.

Hey,

With the new SCA regulations, will Perch Shop support the changes?

Would it be possible to introduce the Stripe Checkout process to allow Stripe to just handle the whole checkout process?

Any advice/support super appreciated!

Cheers,

Ryan

Hey Graham,

That's odd! I'll pop you an email to see if we can resolve it!

Hey all,

A few Percher's have contacted me recently asking about Chirp, so I wanted to write a little post about our new release and a special promo we're running this week!

Chirp SEO allows websites that use Perch as the management system to optimise their Perch site with just one addon. It uses live content analysis to provide up to date tracking of how well your website is performing in terms of on-site SEO, as well as a variety of other important aspects including readability and loading time analysis.

Today's update introduces a sitemap checker to make sure pages are correct and loading correctly. Use the following code at checkout for 20% off! The promotion is running all this week and ends Friday, 12th April. 'GIMME20'! It's a good opportunity to try it on a personal project, or small client project to see what it can do for editors and how it works.

Chirp is proud to be involved in over 140 websites worldwide, thanks to everyone who’s bought a license and supported Chirp! Thank you!
