  • Perch Shop: If no sale price exists use standard price

    Hello both,


    The problem occurs due to the system treating a blank price field as zero (0) when deciding what to value to pass to the basket.


    IMO it should default back to the standard price if the current field is blank in the admin - both for sale and/or trade pricing.


    I've worked around this using javascript on the back end for now when adding a new product, so in theory the field can never be blank if a price is entered for the product.


    Bizarrely making the price fields required, prevents the product form from submitting.

  • perch_shop_cart_item_count(); always echoing

    I'm trying to pass the number of items into a variable, however it seems to behave differently.


    $cartCount = perch_shop_cart_item_count(true);


    However this echoes the cart count, and the variable $cartCount remains empty?


    Does this behave differently to other functions?

  • Perch Shop: If no sale price exists use standard price

    I have worked around this using a very crude bit of jquery inserted into the back end. Basically checks if the inputs within the fields wraps of the sale and trade price are empty when any price is changed, and if they are it inserts the standard price into the field.


    In theory no price field should now be empty. Meaning sales and promotions shouldn't end up with zero priced items (unless you type a zero into the field).


    I'm not a programmer so this is (very) crude, but it works for adding new products, not sure what I can do for you guys with existing shops though:


    Include this in your backend js (https://docs.grabaperch.com/perch/control-panel/customizing/)

  • Perch Forms: Using the same forms on multiple pages but passing a value from the page into a hidden field

    Yes, try <?php perch_pages_title(); ?>,


    PHP
    1. <?php $pageTitle = perch_pages_title(true); ?>
    2. <?php PerchSystem::set_var('pharmacyName', $pageTitle); ?>

    The true part in the brackets stops perch echoing the title onto the page. Then put your variable in where the value normally goes (no need for single quotes).

    It's always useful to have the page title available.

  • Filter array within properties

    I'm probably not being 100% clear on what I'm trying to achieve. Here's my situation:


    I have a collection of case studies, the case studies template has a content field called "accessories", the user can add items related to that field from the store. The SKUs of the products are stored in the id as an array.


    What I'm trying to do reverse the model and show the case studies on the product page. I have the SKU for the product and I'm trying to filter out the case studies where the SKU is in the accessories id array. Hence show relevant case studies on products pages.


    It's bound to be something simple I'm missing, but I've trawled the documentation and I can't find anything sowing how to filter when the values are stored in an array.

  • Perch Forms: Using the same forms on multiple pages but passing a value from the page into a hidden field

    You can. Have a look at https://docs.grabaperch.com/te…variables-into-templates/


    You set the system variable before you call your template in the php file

    PHP
    1. <?php PerchSystem::set_var('id_name', 'value'); ?>


    Then in your html template that becomes available as:

    Code
    1. <perch:content id="id_name" />

    You don't have to use id_name, it can be anything. eg.

    PHP
    1. <?php PerchSystem::set_var('closest_pharmacy', 'Birmingham'); ?>

    To perform something conditional use a perch:if statement in your html file:

    Code
    1. <perch:if id="closest_pharmacy" value="Birmingham" match="eq"/>
    2. Birmingham is the closest pharmacy.
    3. <perch:if>

    More about perch if can be found here: https://docs.grabaperch.com/templates/conditionals/if/


    Hope this helps.

  • Filter array within properties

    That's not working for me? I think the issue is that the accessories id contains an unnamed array. Hence there is no 'slug' for the filter to match to?


    Here is the showall from the case study:


    url_0 /shop/products/domestic/building-flood-protection/anti-flood-airbricks-testsku
    url_category domestic
    url_1 domestic

    I'm trying to match within the accessories id which appears to be a simple array.

  • Filter array within properties

    I have a perch collection, each item in the collection has a field allowing related precast to be associated. This fields content is stored as an array:


    The id of the field is accessories and it contain the following array:

    Code
    1. Array
    2. (
    3. [0] => anti-flood-airbricks-testsku
    4. [1] => composite-door-2-comp2
    5. )

    I need to filter the collections to show case studies only matching items within that accessories array, this doesn't work:


    PHP
    1. <?php
    2. perch_collection('Case Studies', [
    3. 'filter' => 'accessories',
    4. 'match' => 'contains',
    5. 'value' => 'anti-flood-airbricks-testsku',
    6. ]);
    7. ?>

    I'm sure I did this before, but cannot remember where? Can someone help me do this again please?

  • How does perch_shop_purchased_files(); work?

    Yeah, I'd seen that in the docs - but it doesn't show anything.


    Steps I've undertaken so far:


    1. Added two files to a product using the files tab in the product admin (files.list.post.php).

    2. Order the product through the system

    3. Added the code to the order view


    PHP
    1. <?php
    2. perch_shop_purchased_files();
    4. perch_shop_purchased_files([
    5. 'order' => $orderID,
    6. ]);
    7. perch_shop_order($orderID, [
    8. 'template' => '/shop/orders/order_better.html'
    9. ]);
    10. ?>

    The perch_shop_order shows the order fine, but the files functions do not show anything?


    There are no errors in the debug, and the standard file.html and files_list.html are in the templates folder?


    Could this be because the product ordered is a variant?

  • Is it possible to for perch if to check an output value?

    Hello,


    Is it possible for perch:if to check an output value. My use case is checking if a brand within the shop has an image.


    Code
    1. <perch:if id="shop_brand" output="image" match="neq" value=""
    2. Brand Has Image
    3. </perch:if>


    I can probably do this the long way around with PHP but wondered if there is a more elegant way built in?
