Not sure this is a good thing or a bad thing but the deadline date for SCA compliance has been extended by a further 6 months.

It's a relief judging by current progress

Whilst I appreciate there has been an attempt at fixing the Shop SCA issue. It does not work and isn't php 8 compatible, despite the claims. When are we likely to see the above fixed? Bearing in mind SCA deadline.

P.s. When the SCA deadline passes and my customers quite rightly start complaining, where can I direct their complaints?

According to this link, SCA has been fixed. Has anyone had time to apply and test?

granttransition · Aug 2nd 2021

Let's hope so. I won't hold my breath though

Gareth S,

Any news on SCA issue, this becomes a massive issue come September.

Quote from Gareth S

Perch version 3.2, blog and the other first party addons with PHP8 - I have raised this direct with the developers this morning, they have confirmed that it should be fully compliant with PHP 8, though obviously we'd always recommend making any changes on a test environment first.

Regarding the above comment

PHP: Mailchimp error

It’s almost the end of June and there still hasn’t been any useful information about SCA. 🤷‍♂️

granttransition · Jun 2nd 2021

Sorry if this has been mentioned already, I haven't been through all the posts.

A native way to handle publishing would be great, so published, unplublished etc for all types of content including pages.

I appreciate this can be coded in, but a native way of handling this would be nice.

Thanks for the speedy update Gareth S

Any news on SCA? The clock is ticking on this one…

granttransition · May 13th 2021

Shop App/Stripe SCA is really urgent now, good to know it’s being looked at

granttransition · Apr 27th 2021

Actually I found a way, I used <perch:categories id="perch_categories" set="blog">. So id="perch_categories" instead of id="categories".

Thanks all for the help. My final card template now looks like this…

Code

<div class="card">
<div class="card__head">
<perch:categories id="perch_categories" set="blog">
<perch:if id="catTitle" value="video">
<img class="cat-icon" src="/img/video.svg" alt="Play YouTube Video" width="60" height="60">
</perch:if>
<perch:if id="catTitle" value="podcast">
<img class="cat-icon" src="/img/podcast.svg" alt="Play Podcast" width="60" height="60">
</perch:if>
</perch:categories>
<img src="<perch:content id="image">">
</div>
<div class="card__body">
<perch:categories id="perch_categories" set="blog">
<img src="<perch:category id="icon" type="image">">
</perch:categories>
<h1><perch:content id="postTitle" type="text" label="Title"></h1>
<h2><perch:content id="introText" type="text" label="Intro Text"></h2>
</div>
</div>

Oh really? Thats odd then, as the category stuff doesn't work in this template…

Code

<div class="card">
<div class="card__head">
<perch:categories id="categories" set="blog">
<perch:if id="catTitle" value="video">
<img class="cat-icon" src="/img/video.svg" alt="Play YouTube Video" width="60" height="60">
</perch:if>
<perch:if id="catTitle" value="podcast">
<img class="cat-icon" src="/img/podcast.svg" alt="Play Podcast" width="60" height="60">
</perch:if>
</perch:categories>
<img src="<perch:content id="image">">
</div>
<div class="card__body">
<perch:categories id="categories" set="blog">
<img src="<perch:category id="icon" type="image">">
</perch:categories>
<h1><perch:content id="postTitle" type="text" label="Title"></h1>
<h2><perch:content id="introText" type="text" label="Intro Text"></h2>

When that is called via perch_blog_custom everything works as expected?

granttransition · Apr 27th 2021

Hi Byron Fitzgerald ,

With some tweaks we have success! However, this does cause one further issue…

Here is the current code

PHP

<section class="section-home-blog home-typography">
<div class="wrapper">
<?php
$news[] =perch_blog_custom([
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'skip-template' => true,
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'count' => 1,
'category' => 'podcast',
])[0];
$news[] =perch_blog_custom([
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'skip-template' => true,
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'category' => 'video',
'count' => 1,
])[0];
$news[] =perch_blog_custom([
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'skip-template' => true,
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'category' => 'blog',
'count' => 1,
])[0];
$news[] = perch_blog_custom([
// 'start' => 1,
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'skip-template' => true,
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'category' => 'news',
'count' => 3,
])[0];
$news[] = perch_blog_custom([
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'skip-template' => true,
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'category' => 'news',
'count' => 3,
])[1];
$news[] = perch_blog_custom([
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'skip-template' => true,
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'category' => 'news',
'count' => 3,
])[2];
function date_sort($a, $b) {
return strtotime($b['postDateTime']) - strtotime($a['postDateTime']);
}
usort($news, "date_sort");
perch_template('content/home/_blog-card.html', $news);
?>
</div>
</section>

Which now calls the content/home/_blog-card.html. Ideally I wanted to use the /blog/home/_blog-card.html template as it uses the category info to do other stuff.

Here is that template…

HTML

<div class="card">
<div class="card__head">
<perch:categories id="categories" set="blog">
<perch:if id="catTitle" value="video">
<img class="cat-icon" src="/img/video.svg" alt="Play YouTube Video" width="60" height="60">
</perch:if>
<perch:if id="catTitle" value="podcast">
<img class="cat-icon" src="/img/podcast.svg" alt="Play Podcast" width="60" height="60">
</perch:if>
</perch:categories>
<img src="<perch:blog id="image">">
</div>
<div class="card__body">
<perch:categories id="categories" set="blog">
<img src="<perch:category id="icon" type="image">">
</perch:categories>
<h1><perch:blog id="postTitle" type="text" label="Title"></h1>
<h2><perch:blog id="introText" type="text" label="Intro Text"></h2>
</div>
</div>

So whilst I can move this to content/home/… and change perch:blog to perch:content. The same is not true for the perch:categories

Thanks ever so much for the help thus far…

granttransition · Apr 27th 2021

I now get a Template file not found: templates/home/_blog-card.html even though the template is defiantly in the right place.

/templates/content/home/_blog-card.html

Debug also shows…

Code

Array
(
[type] => 8
[message] => Trying to access array offset on value of type null
[file] => /Users/grant/Sites/Development/180-Cargilfield-Perch-Updates/cms/templates/layouts/home-blog-grid.php
[line] => 33
)

Which is…

Code

return strtotime($b[0]['postDateTime']) - strtotime($a[0]['postDateTime']);

granttransition · Apr 27th 2021

I really appreciate the help, but unfortunately this outputs the template, but the perch fields are empty.

So there is no confusion, here is the current code…

PHP

<section class="section-home-blog home-typography">
<div class="wrapper">
<?php
$news[] =perch_blog_custom([
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'skip-template' => true,
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'count' => 1,
'category' => 'podcast'
])[0];
$news[] =perch_blog_custom([
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'skip-template' => true,
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'category' => 'video',
'count' => 1,
])[0];
$news[] =perch_blog_custom([
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'skip-template' => true,
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'category' => 'blog',
'count' => 1,
])[0];
$news[] = perch_blog_custom([
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'skip-template' => true,
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'category' => 'news',
'count' => 3,
])[0];
function date_sort($a, $b) {
return strtotime($b[0]['postDateTime']) - strtotime($a[0]['postDateTime']);
}
usort($news, "date_sort");
perch_template('blog/home/_blog-card.html', $news);
?>
</div>
</section>

That's is what I was hoping for, this breaks the site though unfortunately

granttransition · Apr 27th 2021

This is pretty close to what I am after…

PHP

<?php
perch_blog_custom([
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'template' => 'home/_blog-card.html',
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'count' => 1,
'category' => 'podcast'
]);
perch_blog_custom([
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'template' => 'home/_blog-card.html',
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'category' => 'video',
'count' => 1,
]);
perch_blog_custom([
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'template' => 'home/_blog-card.html',
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'category' => 'blog',
'count' => 1,
]);
perch_blog_custom([
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'template' => 'home/_blog-card.html',
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'category' => 'news',

I just need them in date order now…

granttransition · Apr 27th 2021

Hello,

I am trying to output blog posts in date order whilst limiting other parameters such as the category.

Ultimately I want six blog posts listed in date order; however, I am always showing x1 video, x1 podcast, x1 blog and x3 news.

Whilst I have come close with a pure PHP way of achieving the goal, I've hit a snag whilst trying to output the Category Icon I have created. This appears to be ignoring the category array altogether?

PHP

<section class="section-home-blog home-typography">
<div class="wrapper">
<?php
$news = array();
$news[] = perch_blog_custom([
'category' => array('podcast'),
'count' => 1,
'return-html' => false,
'skip-template' => true,
'raw' => true,
]);
$news[] = perch_blog_custom([
'category' => array('video'),
'count' => 1,
'return-html' => false,
'skip-template' => true,
]);
$news[] = perch_blog_custom([
'category' => array('blog'),
'count' => 1,
'return-html' => false,
'skip-template' => true,
]);
$news[] = perch_blog_custom([
'category' => array('news'),
'count' => 3,
'return-html' => false,
'skip-template' => true,
]);
function date_sort($a, $b) {
return strtotime($b[0]['postDateTime']) - strtotime($a[0]['postDateTime']);
}
usort($news, "date_sort");
print_r($news);
foreach($news as $p):?>
<div class="card">
<div class="card__head">
<perch:categories id="categories" set="blog">
<img src="<?php echo $p[0]['image'];?>">
</perch:categories>
</div>
<div class="card__body">
<img src="<?php echo $p[0]['categories']['icon'];?>">
<h1><?php echo $p[0]['postTitle'];?></h1>
<h2><?php echo $p[0]['introText'];?></h2>
</div>
<perch:categories id="categories" set="blog">
<p class="category"><perch:category id="catTitle" type="text"></p>
</perch:categories>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
</section>

The above is my current code.

Ideally it would be nice to build up some filters and then just do something like…

PHP

perch_blog_custom([
'sort' => 'postDateTime',
'template' => 'home/_blog-card.html',
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
'filter' => $news,
]);

Appreciate any helped offered

Quote from damiandrozdowicz

That's a very reassuring George G . I feel a relief now that I won't have to move x number of websites away to a different platform simply because SCA compliance.

Personally I am becoming less confident this issue will ever be looked at. It's been two months now without any update on what is going on. That's on top of the two years we have been suffering the Perch radio silence.
