Perch File Organisation

Hi Drew,

Thank you for that - after i sent that message i decided i would definitely like to have a blog folder and a shop folder and have began moving the relevant files to that folder. However i'm still coming up with 404s when i click on a product.

https://nathanieltest.co.uk/perch-dev/shop/products/test-product-01-testsku001/

Any ideas?

Edit:

Sorry I just noticed the previous comment didn't provide ny insight into why it possibly might be the problem. I have copied the products folder from /perch/addons/apps/perch_shop/templates/shop into /shop/products and i've still receiving an error. I would've thought moving the files should resolve it?

Ahh! You're right, not sure how i overlooked that!

Here's what it's dsiplaying:

[21-May-2016 14:25:49 UTC] PHP Warning:  include(/home/nathani5/public_html/perch-dev/perch/addons/apps/perch_blog/runtime.php) [<a href='function.include'>function.include</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/nathani5/public_html/perch-dev/perch/core/inc/apps.php on line 21

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "deploying" in this sense so i'll list a couple details below that might help:

• i'm editing the files locally and uploading it to my server
• I'm on a cloud hosting platform at Tso Host
• I was recently on cPanel Hosting however i had to upgrade to have the right php version to rin perch shop (could my transfer have been the problem?)

FTP and i reploaded my core folder and still nothing. do you recommend a fresh install?

Right, so i uninstalled perch and all the apps. Deleted my database and user. Did a fresh download of perch, new database and user. Successful install of perch and all the apps, set up the shop, added some test products which successfully display on the page but when i click on the product link it goes to this url:

https://nathanieltest.co.uk/perch-dev/shop/products/test-product-01-test001/

which flags another error 500. now from my knowledge of the way perch works, within /shop/products/ there’s supposed to be a php template present where the information feeds into and is displayed to the user. However, by default, i don’t even have a shop folder! And as i said earlier, i’m happy to organise my files like /shop/products but this still doesn’t change the fact i appear to be missing a template file.

I’m out of ideas at the min, any help will be appreciated

Hi Rachel,

Thank you for your response, however i'm still not sure i understand. I've created this page - https://nathanieltest.co.uk/perch-dev/ which lists my test products and works perfectly. However when clicking a product i get an error, based on your response, i added an index.php page within

https://nathanieltest.co.uk/perch-dev/shop/products/

and added this snippet:

perch_shop_product('my-product', [
    'template' => 'product.html'
]);

to display my product information which is still coming up with an error.

Yeah, i have a page called my-product.php with this snippet inside:

<?php
    perch_shop_product('my-product');
?>

Hi Drew,

Thank you for your message, i think that's my problem. I didn't actually know that area was supposed to be dynamic. I've had a look through the documentation and can't see a snippet for that. But i looked at one of my other templates and used:

<?php
    perch_shop_product('<perch:shop id="slug" type="slug" />');
?>

but that also doesn't work

So I still haven't been able to solve this and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.. I've tried

<?php
    perch_shop_product(perch_get('test-product-02-test002'));
?>

as my url is https://nathanieltest.co.uk/perch-dev/shop/products/test-product-02-test002/

Hello,

The route pattern I have in the settings area of perch is /perch-dev/shop/products/{slug} and at the moment i'm not using a rewrite rule
