Hi, I am finding that when I use

Code

<perch:content id="text" type="textarea" label="Text" html editor="redactor" imagewidth="686">

Perch does not down-size and use the smaller image in the output. (I am uploading a wider image than the specified 686px).

Is anyone else experiencing this?

SimonClay · Oct 6th 2021

That's a balanced response Byron, I agree.

Hopefully, if I can sort out the issue on the other thread you are helping me with, I can use a method to push posts not found to 404.

For my Post Page:

PHP

<?php
$pageTitle = perch_blog_post_field(perch_get('s'), 'postTitle', true);
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/header.php');
?>
<div class="pageWrapper pagePostPage navLevel1 noBanner">
<article class="post" role="article">
<header class="headerWrapper ">
<section class="carousel carouselImageSingle">
<div class="headerText">
<h1 class="title"><?php perch_blog_post_field(perch_get('s'), 'postTitle'); ?></h1>
</div>
</section>
</header>
<div class="contentBlockWrapper">
<section class="contentBlock">
<div class="content postContent blogContent" role="main">
<?php
$post = perch_blog_custom(array(
'filter' => 'postSlug',
'match' => 'eq',
'value' => perch_get('s'),
),true);
if (!$post) {
// respond with 404 and use the 404 error page
PerchSystem::use_error_page(404);
// stop executing this page
exit;
}
echo $post;
//perch_blog_post(perch_get('s')); ?>
<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/share.php'); ?>
</div>
<aside class="postAside postFeedWrapper" aria-label="Post sidebar">

For my 404 page:

PHP

<?php
// get URL with parameters and set variable
$array[]= parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
if (empty($array[0]['query'])) {
$reqstring="{$array[0]['path']}";
}
else {
$reqstring="{$array[0]['path']}?{$array[0]['query']}";
}
// check 301 collection for old URL
$result = perch_collection('301 Redirects', [
'filter'=>'old_url',
'match'=>'eq',
'value'=>$reqstring,
'count'=>1,
'skip-template' => true,
'return-html' => true,
]);
// 301 exists, send 301 header and forward to new URL
if (!empty(array_filter($result))) {
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: ".$result[0]['new_url']);
}
// no 301 found, send 404 header and output your 404 markup.
else {
$pageTitle = perch_pages_title(true);
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/header.php');
?>
<section class="title-bar gradient-bg">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row align-items-center">
<div style="text-align: center; padding: 50px;">
<h1>
Sorry, we cannot find the page you are looking for
</h1>
<p>Please try using the menus or search tool at the top of the page or any of the handy shortcuts we have in our footer at the bottom of the page.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
<?php
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/footer.php');
}
?>

Currently in Runway, if a blog post is not found, the visitor sees a page with no content between the header and footer.

We can use the <perch:noresults></perch:noresults> tags in perch/templates/blog/post.html to display a message like 'Sorry that item could not be found'.

But really, the page should be re-directed to 404, don't you think?

<?php perch_blog_post(perch_get('s')); ?> should do this by default in my opinion.

SimonClay · Oct 5th 2021

I am finding that 'echos' the whole 404 page into the place where the post would go, including the header, error message and footer.

SimonClay · Oct 5th 2021

Thanks very much Byron, I will take a look at that.

SimonClay · Oct 5th 2021

This great post form the old forum by Shane Lenzen shows how we can set up a Collection called 301 Redirects. In this Collection you can set page redirections!

https://forum.grabaperch.com/f…p-301-redirect-collection

However, I find that the redirects only work on Pages, not when trying to redirect Blog items, or any other Collection item. I guess this is something to do with routing.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how this could be overcome?

SimonClay · Sep 21st 2021

Thanks very much Matt A , will do.

SimonClay · Sep 21st 2021

Thanks nilsmielke, yes, I can now see the difference accounts.grabaperch and account.perchcms

I think historically I usually go to accounts.perch

Thanks for pointing it out.

Visiting https://accounts.grabaperch.com/ results in 'Your connection is not private' message. The SSL certificate seems to have expired or is invalid.

It would not be good to enter login details over an unsecure network.

Is there a known issue?

Gareth S Matt A Will B this is appalling. What is going on?

SimonClay · Sep 3rd 2021

Gareth S there has been no communication from the team whatsoever this week. Are you aware of that?

Quote from ex-jedi

Also just wanted the be sure the Perch team has seen this.

https://www.perchology.com/blog/2021-09-01-issue-88

Yes, this is a very sad reflection of the state of things.

Thank you Clive Walker for Perchology. It was always an interesting and informative read.

There are so many things I've been wanting to say in the forum of late, but I see little point.

Best of luck all.

SimonClay · Aug 26th 2021

Nice, well done.

SimonClay · Aug 26th 2021

Thanks marc There must be a way in the perch/addons/editors/config.js

The code below in the file removes the Perch Assets plugin from redactor, I'm hoping someone can help with code to remove shortcodes in the same way.

Code

Perch.UserConfig.redactor = function () {
var get = function (profile, config, field) {
// remove perchassets plugin
config.plugins = config.plugins.filter(function (item) {
return item !== 'perchassets'
})
// add inlineperchassets plugin
if (config.plugins.indexOf('inlineperchassets') === -1) config.plugins.push('inlineperchassets');
return config;
};
var load = function (cb) {
// load inlineperchassets plugin
jQuery.getScript(Perch.path + '/addons/plugins/editors/redactor-plugins/pipit_inlineperchassets/inlineperchassets.js', cb);
};
return {
'get': get,
'load': load
}
}();

Yes, try this:

PHP

<?php
// get all categories into an array
$cats = perch_categories([
'set' => 'your-set',
'skip-template' => true
]);
// foreach through the array…
foreach($cats as $value) {
// …get the items assigned to the current category into an array…
$catCount = perch_content_custom('Your Region',[
'page' => '/your-page-url/index.php',
'skip-template' => true,
'category' => $value['catPath']
]);
// …and if this array contains items…
if(count($catCount)) {
// …output the category as needed
print '<li>' . $value['catTitle'] . ' (' . count($catCount) . ')' . '</li>';
}
}
?>

Ah, I see what you mean, let me have a think.

SimonClay · Aug 26th 2021

Hi, you can do it like this (edited slightly and tested):

PHP

<?php
$catCount = perch_categories([
'set' => 'your-set',
'skip-template' => true,
]);
echo count($catCount);
?>
