Hi everyone

I’m looking to connect an external API to a standard Perch site but I have never done it before so I was wondering if anyone had and pointers or tips.

I am wanting to display the local tide times and there is an API available that provides…

This is currently possible by using perch_forms at the same time.

Hi Everyone.

I have a website which uses the comments app so visitors can leave... comments!

One page now has over 50 comments so I am looking at adding in a button every 10 comments which load the next 10 comments, and so on. Lazy load style

The…

This sounds like a nice initiative. Well done, Glen

Hi everyone

I have just launched a new community project, where I am teaming up with a few local businesses and organisations, and have just launched Hunstanton Webcams at https://hunstanton.webcam

The site uses standard Perch with the forms and…

However you do it, make sure that you use rel="noopener noreferrer" on any such links for security reasons. See https://web.dev/external-anchors-use-rel-noopener/

Unfortunately not, php is server side language so doesn't have the capability to do this.

You would need to use JS to do this, something like window.open("https://openinnewtab.com"); would work

Thanks Byron Fitzgerald

Hi everyone,

Me again (sorry!).

Quick question, is there a way to get PerchSystem::redirect('http://example.com/'); to open a new window / tab instead of redirecting in the current window / tab? (just like target="_blank" does).

Many thanks

Glen

Hi Glen,

You can use the replace tag attribute to remove .php:

Hi Everyone

I am using <a href="<perch:content id="_page">"> on a template which is being used via a perch_content_custom in order to link to the page that the original content has come from.

Does anyone know how I can hide the page extension as it…

Bingo! Thank you Byron Fitzgerald

This one's on me -> 🍺

I've now got an issue that the time ago script doesn't recognise anything after 4 weeks ago and displays 1 Jan 1970, but I will have to figure that one out when I've got a bit more time.

A…

Hi Byron Fitzgerald

Many thanks for that, the comments now appear.

Unfortunately however the "3 days ago" line does not. Looking at <perch:showall> the perch ID postAgo is not being passed into the template. So sorry to keep asking but would you know…

Hi Byron Fitzgerald - wow thank you

Unfortunately, nothing is being displayed, I ran a debug which showed an array error but after fixing that nothing still displays. The updated code I am using is as follows...

Hi ian Hobbs

You can pass variables into layouts just like you can with other regions... https://docs.grabaperch.com/pe…nd-nav/layouts/variables/

As mentioned, it works perfectly well on another site using the blog addon, for…

HI Byron Fitzgerald, sorry me again!

I have just run <perch:showall> and it is showing that the id postAgo isn't getting passed into the template.

As mentioned, I have copied everything over from the other site so I'm not sure why this would be.

Hi Byron Fitzgerald - I hope you had a great Christmas & News Year?

I was wondering if you could help me once again?

I have copied over the timeAgo code to another website but this time into the perch_comments addon. I have copied everything across…

This is the perfect addition to Perch, did this ever get developed?
