Listed product slug not linking to detail template

Hi Drew, do you mean in Perch Runway settings? The product URL is set to; /product/{slug}

It loads the /product/slug into the address bar, but it displays a 404 page not found error.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the Perch Shop on Runway. By Routing, do you mean the shop's product detail page require some sort of master page like you would a pages app template? therefore allowing dynamic pages to be displayed? If so do you have examples of this or do I just work off the default?

Hi Drew, thanks for that. Something that's jumping out at me in the docs in "Find the page and click on Page Options" My /shop/product.php or /shop/index.php pages are not appearing in my Pages Listing on the Perch control panel, so therefore I can't action this. It seems odd as I've included the Perch string on the top of each page. Should they be appearing?

<?php include('../perch/runtime.php');?>

I've also tried with this string

<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/perch/runtime.php'); ?>

When I click on the pages section within my Perch Runway I see a Routes section, but I don't have the ability to add new routes? Why?

Hello Cromac,

If you are using Runway, you should be creating master pages in templates/pages and adding pages via the control panel: https://docs.grabaperch.com/runway/core-tasks/master-pages/

Hi Hussein, Thanks for your response. I've added a new master page here called product.php, this is the code below:

<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/perch/runtime.php'); ?>

<?php perch_layout('shop.header'); ?>

  <div class="brand shop-hero">
    <div class="container">
      <div class="logo-wrapper"><img src="../images/lir-master-light-horiz2.png" srcset="../images/lir-master-light-horiz2-p-1080.png 1080w, ../images/lir-master-light-horiz2-p-1600.png 1600w, ../images/lir-master-light-horiz2.png 1687w" sizes="(max-width: 479px) 72vw, (max-width: 991px) 40vw, 32vw" class="logo"></div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="container"></div>
  <div class="product">
    <div class="container">
      <div class="blog-posting w-row">
        <div class="left-col w-col w-col-4">

                 <?php perch_categories([
                'template' => 'category.html',
                'category' => 'shop/'.perch_get('category'),
          ]
            ); ?>
            <a href="../shop/index.php" class="button b2b w-button">back to shop</a>
          <div class="share">
            <h3>share this post</h3>
          </div>
          <div class="sharethis">
            <div class="sharethiscode w-embed">
              <div class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons"></div>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
        <div class="right-col w-col w-col-8">

            <?php perch_shop_product(perch_get('product'));?>


        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
<?php perch_layout('blog.footer'); ?>

In Perch Admin I've updated the route pattern URL for this master page to be :

/shop/products/{slug}

I've updated the list template to point to:

/shop/products/<perch:shop id="slug" type="slug>

This still doesn't work. How do I make the unique detail page pick up this master page template? It's still giving me a page 404

Since you are using Runway, you don't to include the Perch runtime file. So you can remove this:

<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/perch/runtime.php'); ?>

Since you are using perch_get('product'), your route should be:

shop/products/[slug:product]

Hi Hussein, No problem. Removed that string from the products.php master template and updated the route URL pattern to

/shop/products/[slug:product]

Issue still remains; clicking on an item in the listing page, loads the URL expected but not the page; leaves a 404 error.

You also need to remove the slash at the start.

It was removed in the URL to begin with. I tested with both slash removed and present and it made no difference.

Just to note in Perch Admin settings for Product URL I also have this:

shop/products/{slug}

Again it makes no difference. It's like the product is not able to take to the master page?

So you have:

1. Created a master page in templates/pages
2. Added the page via the control panel (assuming with the URL /shop/products) - can you confirm you can visit this page /shop/products?
3. Added a route with shop/products/[slug:product]
4. Tried visiting /shop/products/my-product-slug but you're still getting a 404?

1. Yes.
2. I hadn't actually added the page in Perch as it had already existed. I just added it now and called it Product, using the master page template (that I just created). And yes I can successfully view this page I created at /shop/product.php *Should I delete this page from the server and re-add again?
3. Yes
4. Tried again linking to /shop/products/my-product-slug and still getting a 404.

Okay, so obviously the successful product page I was seeing was the one that was there on the server already. I deleted this and attempted to add a page called product with the path /shop/product.php and it is failing. I also re-updated it's URL pattern to shop/products/{slug} and it's still failing with a 404. So it is not recognising this master template?

When you go to the page in the control panel and click on the "Location" tab, what do you see in the "Path" field? And what do you see in the "URL pattern" field?

When I created the page using the product.php master template, the debug tells me I'm using a different template... why?

/shop/product.php

The URL pattern field is blank, so I add in:

shop/products/{slug}

If I'm adding a page called Product, what should the URL segment read?
