Fascinating! Did you win the competition by the way?

Apologies in advance but I have to nerd out now. Many years ago I built a model railway for a competition. In the centre was a water powered mill. It was just going to be a plain water mill but I did some research on mills and just had to make it a…

If you are using VS Code, it's very easy to add code snippets that can speed up your coding. Here's a Perch Snippets file that I use https://github.com/clivewalker/Perch-VS-Code-Snippets

Hope it's helpful.

Example use, if it’s not obvious, entering if…

Oof. I've been on these tenterhooks for a while now, they're digging in!

Hi!

A few months ago I started using Tinkerwell, which is a code editor to tinker with PHP code. It ships with built-in support for some PHP frameworks and CMSs, but you can write a driver for any PHP application (e.g. Perch).

In the context of Perch,…

Not in detail but only on a site that I worked on briefly. I think it worked well on that site. The product data was in Perch.

I looked into Snipcart to provide an option for a client a while ago. The default way is to include their JS on your page and define the products via the HTML as detailed on their docs (https://docs.snipcart.com/v3/setup/products):

(Code, 9 lines)


So…

Hay anyone here successfully used Snipcart with Perch? I'd be interested to see what approach you've used if so. It seems you can create products either in Snipcart or Perch?

My whole life I always thought the expression was tenderhooks.

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

On tenterhooks I am!

I hope to be able to confirm some exciting news about the next steps for Perch, but unfortunately it's not quite there yet. As soon as we're able to tell you about it, we will.

Absolutely, and as soon as we can confirm things we will. It's good! You'll be happy.

LSFF is a bit more interesting "on festival". It's also probably my longest maintained Perch site, and pushes Perch the most. Although I think there are still a few v1s and v2s I…

My two cents is that UI updates hold very little value personally. I'd prefer to see that the codebase was being maintained and that a few better options in terms of managing collections in bulk was supported. I would be happy to sell in ongoing…

Yes, please can we have an update. It's more and more difficult to recommend Perch for new projects without clarity on development going forward.

Any

Is this still the current state of things? It would be good to have more regular updates given how changeable things seem to be. The current pattern of nothing... nothing... nothing... HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT/CHANGE OF DIRECTION is…

Can I ask what this is for? Is it connected with future Perch updates or something else?

As it looks like some people missed my original post, I'll stick it here as well.

I've created an initial release for an update to Perch Shop to let stripe take 3DS2 payments. You can find the repo here. Everything you need should be there, and the…
