Creating a list detail page
Hi,
I'm attempting to follow this guide:
https://docs.grabaperch.com/perch/content/functions/how-do-i-create-list-detail-pages/
The page is picking up the slug, according to the page debug, but the region isn't being populated with the product info. I'm using the templates shown on that page.
Many thanks in advance, Chris
The code on the page in question
<?php
perch_content_create('Event', array(
'template' => 'product_detail.html',
'multiple' => true,
'edit-mode' => 'listdetail',
));
if (perch_get('s')) {
// Detail mode
perch_content_custom('Event', array(
'page' => '/event.php',
'template' => 'product_detail.html',
'filter' => 'slug',
'match' => 'eq',
'value' => perch_get('s'),
'count' => 1,
));
} else {
// List mode
perch_content_custom('Event', array(
'page' => '/event.php',
'template' => 'product_listing.html',
));
}
?>
The page debug which appears to know to use product_detail.html from the slug

Are you intending to use two different regions here? You have Event and Products.
Just noticed that, have changed both to Event.
The problems persists, though.
It seems odd that it's looking for revision zero. Does the
itemRev=0value in the debug change if you re-save the content region?Yes, has incremented to 1.
Hmm, that's something at least. And list mode works just fine?
Unfortunately neither mode works. My assumption is that I've overlooked something, but I can't see what it could be.
Should I be adding anything to the Region via the Perch Admin pages?
Is this page
/event.php?Yep, that's the page that gives the debug output in the second block above.
I'm open to starting again if there's a better way to set up my product (event) pages. I noted that the default setup was:
Rather than:
I'm new to Perch, so if there are other examples I can follow rather than the one linked above I'd be happy to.
No, that should be fine, and this is exceptionally simple functionality. I've no idea what the problem could be.
What does this output?
This code:
Gives me this output on the page debug:
But no content?
None. Should I be adding something to that region in the Perch Admin?
How much content is in the region?
I'm unsure what you mean. As far as I understood it I create the region in event.php using:
Then I populate the region with this:
Have I got this mixed up?
That's not populating anything. That's displaying the region as either a list, or a single item in detail.
You need to actually add some content, or there's nothing to show. What are you expecting to see on the page?
I'm expecting to see the products I have created. I was under the impression that this would grab a product using it's slug.
As per: https://docs.grabaperch.com/perch/content/functions/how-do-i-create-list-detail-pages/
Are you using the Shop app? Are you trying to list products from your shop?
Yes & yes.
Ok, so forget the
perch_contentfunctions, they don't do what you want. Those are for content regions.You need to use
perch_shop_products()instead for the listing.https://docs.grabaperch.com/functions/shop/products/perch-shop-products/
And
perch_shop_product()for the detail.https://docs.grabaperch.com/functions/shop/products/perch-shop-product/
