When performing an admin search Runway is correctly identifying the page with matched content, but the link doesn't contain the page ID?

.../core/apps/content/edit/?id=/_blocks/blocks.html&itm=Page%20Content

It seems to be something to do with blocks?

Does anyone have a fix for this?

Better image / media management.

Wordpress for all its troubles does a decent job of media management (global file replacement, alt tags etc).

Development of Back End Blocks

Blocks are great, but can tend to break if pushed too far. Reusable blocks would be great - it can be achieved with runway collections and relationships but a standard feature would be very powerful.

Modern Image Support

Ability to generate modern web formats (obviously this might require server support).

Pre Built Starter Shops
I nearly switched career after building a Perch shop.

Yes they can actually. This might be OK.

Thanks Clive.

Digging around there are a few values that are checked in the system but not listed in permissions eg:

Looks like the collections permissions are unfinished.

I have set up an editor role, however when logged in they cannot see the collections?

It's not in the list of permissions in the role editor, is there something obvious I'm missing.

Works great. I've used your example/technique for adding and removing block level styles.

I used it in combination with this link on Clives blog:

https://github.com/montlewis/perch-redactor-default

This really helped me get redactor where I needed it allowing insertion of precoded blocks, giving the user a link list (although not collection items), a clear explanation of how to get your own styles into the editor.

Looking at the syntax within the config.js file I would never have worked it out for myself.

Take this section for example:

All working great though thanks.

Thanks Byron, I'll look to take a different approach somehow.

Perch almost did it, but not quite.

Thanks Byron, is there any other way to dynamically separate the responses?

I'm struggling to get the id of a form to be unique based on the page it is used on. The template renders but when the form is submitted I get a fatal error.

The ID needs to be different as the responses need to be saved in separate lists based on the page.

The opening tag to the form looks like:

Note: the error occurs whether or not its running through perch_forms or mbk_forms.

The form renders OK on the page:

However when submitted I get:

Can anyone help or suggest a different method to dynamically separate form responses?

Thanks for this, I'll give this a shot.

I require assistance in adding extra formatting options into redactor. A while back I successfully installed the inline perch assets plugin, but cannot fathom where the settings need to go to add extra formatting options and other plugins into redactor.

The buttons hide, add and add before work OK.

Where would I start for adding formatting?

A reluctant workaround is to set the catSlug as indelible

This way the slug gets set and never changes, therefore never breaking the link.

The client can still change the title, but the catPath remains unchanged.

I'd recommend doing this on the templates/categories/set.html template too.

Yeah, tried that and it does not unfortunately.

There is further odd unexpected behaviour:

If the category is changed to a brand new name, the call show now articles.

If the category is changed back to a name previously used the call works without having to resave.

Perch showall shows the category id is still correct and does not change.

It's almost like there is a cache somewhere that isn't being updated.

I have a set of news items and I'm using categories assigned to them. Changing the category name breaks the link to the articles when showing the collection based on category.

I'm creating links to the categories at the foot of each article, the linking is dynamic and works from the catPath.

When updating the category, say changing it's name - the category link on the article is updated fine both the path and title, when clicked the following page shows the correct category information however the previously associated articles don't show.

The only way to get them to show again is to open and re-save each article - obviously I can't expect the client to do this.

Am I missing something?

Fixed the issue, the whitespace in the template was the problem.

Changing this:

to this:

Fixed the issue.

I have perch collection created to manage news. The user has the ability to select a featured news article:

I'm obtaining the id of the selected article ok:

However trying to filter against this isn't working, I'm getting no results:

Can anyone shed any light on why this my be?

Found the issue it has to be the full slug of the category including parent.

I've created a collection in runway to hold products. The products will be shown in various categories and I'm trying to filter the collection on the category but it's not yielding any results:

The 'category' is obtained from the slug and is working when showing the info for that category, just not for the collection.

Any ideas how to get this working?

Yeah, I can't quite work out how to separate the multiple tags in the input field - I expected it to behave like the categories input field yet it does not.

Yeah, unfortunately we do for different levels of access.

We may just have to tell the client a customer cannot have multiple tags.
