Quote from drewm

Due to things changing and me needing to split my time differently, I'm not sure what the roadmap is. There's a bunch of work done on v4, and I need to figure out whether I scale back on the initial 4.0 and ship it, try and roll those features into a 3.x and ship it, or wait until I've got more of 4.0 done.

There's been some talk of compat issues with PHP 7.4, so I'd want to track those down and see what can be patched.

drewm with my business hat on I would say ship an initial V4.0 sooner rather than later, this will breath (with all respect, because I really respect what you have made over the last 10 years) life into the product / create excitement. If it's paired with the new subscription model it may help the revenue which could allow you to have extra resources to develop new releases quicker, updates, documentation etc. Just my 2 cents but it is what I would do.

I would also say Perch Shop should be a paid add-on. At the moment we can literally build a shop on a £60 Perch License. Compared to something similar like Craft I would say Perch is currently undervalued / too cheap.

Hi Hussain, yes I do & yes that's solved it. You're a star.

I'll guess I'll have to change my flow?

Thanks hus_hmd , yes it's got me stumped...

Here is the debug code from the registration page after the form has been submitted.

I've also tried the customer_create.html default template too and hit the same issues

Jason · Feb 19th 2020

Hi, Has anybody had an issue where perch shop doesn't register the initial billing & shipping addressees? I am getting this on the Debug when trying to view them.

Invalid query: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1366 Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'countryID' at row 1

I have a country field set on the registration form, and I still get the error even when trying the default customer_create.html template. Even weirder this was working the other day and I haven't touched (I Think!) the registration process. The database on perch3_shop_addresses is also now showing a lack of this field whereas before it was filling. Can anybody help me? Thanks!

Jason · Feb 11th 2020

I also tried to fire up a demo the other day and nothing happened.

Jason · Feb 9th 2020

Hi,

I am building a shop which uses Cart Properties however when the server is using PHP 7.2 or higher it gives this PHP warning when using perch_shop_cart()

Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in XXXXXXXX/addons/apps/perch_shop/lib/PerchShop_Cart.class.php on line 516

After reading these 2 threads here & here I changed line 516 in /addons/apps/perch_shop/lib/PerchShop_Cart.class.php from

if (count($json)) { to if (PerchUtil::count($json)) {

This clears the PHP warning, 2 questions, is this okay and should this be in a future update?

Jason · Jan 10th 2020

Thanks Drew, Appreciated

Jason · Jan 9th 2020

Commercially we are exploring new options like Kirby CMS as we are struggling to sell Perch to larger clients due to a lack of roadmap / regular updates / bug fixes.

From a business point of view we need more reassurance. We have a few projects to complete in Perch but it I think we will have to transition away, which is a shame because it's always been a great CMS & we've used it for years. Can Perch HQ provide any reassurance?

For example https://perchrunway.com has been down since the start of the week, how can we refer clients to see what CMS we will be using when it flags a SSL error?

Perch shop has this issue outstanding with no updates: SCA Regulation

We really do love perch, there is no other CMS like it and want to continue using it but unfortunately clients do have a say in what we do as they pay the bills.

Thanks Hussein,

Whilst my previous solution was working, I think I prefer keeping it all within postSlug. Here's my final solution for future reference if anyone needs to composite blog urls from other fields.

HTML

<perch:blog id="postSector" type="select" label="Sector" options="Aviation|aviation, Rail|rail, Commercial|commercial, Industrial|industrial, Food Industry|food-industry, Highways|highways, Domestic|domestic" allowempty="false" required suppress>
<perch:blog id="postSlugPre" type="slug" for="postTitle" label="URL Slug" suppress editable help="Delete & save to generate new slug from post title">
<perch:blog id="postSlug" type="composite" for="postSector postSlugPre" join="/" suppress>

Jason · Jan 1st 2020

Just been trying to get custom blog url / slugs working under the settings tab (Blog post page path & Slug format) using my own perch:blog id's...

This last post here from Mark Fisher from the old forum outlines the exact issue:

http://forum.grabaperch.com/fo…ynamic-fields-in-template

Long story short as Drew mentions:

Quote

You should be able to use any IDs from the post.html template in the post slug

However you currently cannot, the only id's which pull through are:

Quote

postID, blogID, postTitle, postSlug, postDateTime, postDescRaw, postDescHTML, postDynamicFields, postTags, postStatus, authorID, sectionID, postCommentCount, postImportID, postLegacyURL, postAllowComments, postTemplate, postMetaTemplate, postIsPublished, image, sectionTitle, SectionSlug, sectionPostCount, sectionDynamicFields, perch_image, blogTitle, blogSlug, setSlug and blogDynamicFields

Can this be added as a bug / feature request? I appreciate you can work around it in a couple of ways using perch_blog_custom() however to keep the View Post / View Draft buttons working correctly in the control panel you have to hijack / use one of the above, looks like postTags will work for me on this occasion.

As above. I'm currently rewriting it without Omnipay.

Hi drewm appreciate you're busy with this / V4 etc - any update on progress? Cheers

Hi Drew,

I've asked and it was made a default for increased security.

It provides increased security and limits PHP opcache API calls to the path specified in that directive.

Jason · Aug 29th 2019

PHP 7.1

opcache.restrict_api

no value

PHP 7.3

opcache.restrict_api

/restricted

I see... The host has obviously changed the defaults between the version settings.

Jason · Aug 25th 2019

Hi, When I try a clean install of Perch 3.1.5 on PHP 7.3 I get the following:

Warning: Zend OPcache API is restricted by "restrict_api" configuration directive in /srv/users/folder/apps/app-name/public/customperchname/core/lib/PerchUtil.class.php on line 1427

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /srv/users/folder/apps/app-name/public/customperchname/core/lib/PerchUtil.class.php:1427) in /srv/users/folder/apps/app-name/public/customperchname/core/lib/PerchUtil.class.php on line 233

Downgrading the server to PHP 7.1 solves the issue and installs with no errors.

I don't believe I am doing anything wrong / I believe this is a bug.
