Thanks Hussein Al Hammad. Happy New Year to you too. Your 2020 Wrap Up was a good read and congratulations on your achievements.

Very smart site Clive and thanks as always for Perchology.

A Perch site I created in 2020 that I've been proud to be a part of is Your Voice Wall https://www.yourvoicewall.co.uk It shows posts by people with learning difficulties, expressing themselves with words, pictures and art, telling of how they have struggled and grown during the pandemic. They are truly amazing. I've been in tears at times as I see their resilience, talents and creativity.

My passion has always been creating sites that are easy and intuitive for client editors. Perch does it so well, so I've been sad to see very little communication from Perch devs. I have kept a eye on a couple of other CMS' to keep as options moving forward.

Best wishes for 2021 all.

I have a template field for Redactor text limiting it to display only 20 words.

The actual text entered into the Redactor field contains a long list of short paragraphs often with a <br /> eg:

What I am finding is that the output of the region limited to 20 words shows the first few paragraphs and correct number of words as expected, but then also adds a number of <br>s at the end. eg:

Interestingly the number of extra <br>s at the end always relates to the number of paragraphs that are shown.

Has anyone noticed this or have an explanation why it's occurring?

Super bold design! Nice one.

Hi, I can't speak for Craft CMS, but in Perch the Redactor editor allows for inline styling in exactly the same way as on the example demo page for Redactor: https://imperavi.com/redactor/

Perhaps because this thread is marked as 'resolved' devs are not being notified of new posts here?

Ooooohhhh!

Thanks very much hus_hmd

Just to flag up a small bug.

When 'Hide Perch Branding' is ticked and no client logo has been uploaded , the Perch logo still shows on the Login page.

Thanks Clive, that's a possibility. Though it might be sensible to find out more about any Perch 4 plans, incase there are any changes in architecture.

Unfortunately it isn't quite Perch 3 ready. I get an error when viewing the comments Admin page:

The UI looks a bit broken too of course, as Perch 3 styling/layout is quite different.

Unfortunately I don't have the expertise to bring the App up to Perch 3.

It is a shame, as it would have been the solution for my situation.

No probs. Thanks for pointing out the App. I will check it out.

Well, I'll be. Thank you. That might do it. I thought that was only for Blog.

It's only listed in the Perch 2 Addons list. I wonder if it works in Perch 3. Have you used it Clive?

Has anyone created a method of using a Form to allow visitors to submit info into a collection (or list and detail)?

It would need to be approved first of course.

Use case is for a type of Visitor Guestbook with ability to upload images.

On tenterhooks I am!

My whole life I always thought the expression was tenderhooks.

Thank you, I could have embarrassed myself in front of a lot of people.

Uses Runway. Uses Collections for news posts.

Pages were constructed in the Perch editor, using a template that combines Blocks and Repeaters to enable the editor to create page layouts with sections and columns, with a 'Super Repeater' I made with some simple JS that allows you to chose the type of content to put in a column.

Uses Runway, with apps: Blog, Forms, Collections and my app Form Builder, to enable the client to easily create Perch forms themselves.

It seems we are stuck. I worry that PHP7.4 compatibility issues will force us away from this CMS and cost a lot of development time to migrate to a CMS that work with newer versions of PHP.

I have over 40 Perch sites that would need to be re-purposed.

Following thread.

Thanks, will check that out.

Nice one Chris.

In the Form responses, Perch helpfully shows the 'path' of the form.

Is it possible to show this in the submission email too?
