I have successfully implemented the Perch CMS onto my site however, as usual, I have a couple of questions.
The way I am using it is inserting the perch code via an html markup item. Is there a way I can make a text box, with existing text, editable via perch?
Secondly, I am trying to use the CKEditor to style the text etc. however, when I go to edit the text in perch, it does not show the new editor controls. The code, I placed right next to the existing perch code: (<?php perch_content('About');?>)
If anybody could help me it would be much appreciated!
Do you know if its possible to generate a drop down menu with perch? So I can let the client add pages which in-turn, add to the menu.
You need to construct the menu yourself in whatever manner you like (drop-down, fly-out etc.) in the form of a Perch template, then it will be under Perch control. As far as I know there’s no built-in drop-down menu functionality. Once you do that you will still need to manually add menu links for new pages, they aren’t automatically generated when a new page is created, at least I’ve never found a way to do it.
The pages app will auto generate the pages using a template you create and will also auto generate the updates to a menu… I have not tried the pages app yet… that’s the last Perch hurdle I need to try once I get a chance.
