Just an update to say that I've used Kirby for a couple of sites now and its really easy to switch from Perch. Best of all - the forum responses are refreshingly quick!

I'm really happy with it - thanks for suggesting it hus_hmd

Thanks guys (this is my work handle).

A special categories set might be the answer.

We require the options need to be abstracted from the selection of the option itself. So if an option has a name or image change, the update would be global. We'll…

Perhaps categories is a good option. You create the categories via the control panel, then you can add a category field to wherever you want the editor to select them from (page attributes, regions, etc):

You can…

There are two color field types listed here which would help with this.

There are a number of approaches for this.

1. Add a 'page' style chooser in the body element.
2. Weave css choosers for granular control though with template inserts so you only have to write one.
3. Add whole preset stylesheet inserts based upon client choice

Thanks Byron, I'l have a look later.

I was trying to ask if I used the page_list field type could I limit the pages shown to a pages within a specific collection, the same way you can limit them to children of a specific parent page.

If you want to link to a page use the field type from the Gist, if you want to link to a collection use the related field type. Doesn't matter where you are linking from or what template the field goes into

I want to link to a page within a collection.

E.g. Have a collection of 'case studies' and be able to link to one of them.

If you want to link to a collection you can use the perch related field instead

Thanks Byron,

I'll take a look. I can see a parent attribute in the examples, would that accept a collection?

Thanks - a good, alternative solution for my next site (working on now).

While I expect you get a warning because $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] is not set in this context, a closing PHP tag is optional at the end of a file.


Anyway, there is more than one way to handle this. You can rely on Perch production…

For the last two Runway installs I've had issues getting cron to then run on my server setup (in order to schedule the backups to Amazon S3). I now know the cause, but I'm unsure if its specific to my server hosting setup. I also have a solution, so I…

You'll need to use a custom field type to do this. I've made one in the past which I use on most of our sites. Here is a link to a gist of it. You'll need to create a folder in perch/addons/fieldtypes/ and call it page_list. Copy the page_list.class.php…

I would like to offer the user the ability to link to specific pages within a collection set.

Eg allow the user to link to pages within a ‘case studies’ section either from a drop down list or a category style tag search box.

is it possible to create a set of manageable options for the user to choose from when creating pages?

Eg give them an area/page of the site they could manage colours, so they can add new ones. Then on a separate page allow them to choose the colours…

Do you need a separate region for the form? If you are not adding any editable content to the form template, you don't need a new region; instead you can add the form to your job_detail.html template (where you already have access to the job title):

You my friend are awesome!

Thank you

Sorry for the late reply. Some of our products are multi-dimensional with various options, they are doors:

10 Colours
4 Handle Styles
6 Glass Styles
2 Knock options

Just adding one or two products with these options is driving the rows in the…
