Hi George,

I have one Perch site and need to decide what to do with it now that you are no longer going to be supporting Perch. I haven't quite understood your pricing model. Currently if I click on the upgrade link it quotes £129 + vat to upgrade from perch to perch runway. It doesn't say anything about a subscription model. Is the subscription model not yet in your online shop?

Also, what are the risks of me continuing to run Perch. How long before it becomes a security issue or is incompatible with php or something like that? And how long will the Perch to Perch runway upgrade path and tools be supported.

Thanks

Andrew

Hi aulda,

I believe the new pricing structure will be introduced on the 4th, hence why you may be seeing something different currently.

When should I expect to see some long overdue code updates. I have no issue with the new pricing structure, however, a subscription model is only worth it if the team providing the product are active and supportive, neither of which are currently being provided.

Is the current Perch strategy to ignore the problem in the hope it will go away?

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.

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

granttransition · May 26th 2021

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>
