Perch repeater

Hello

I am trying to get a list to be created on a charity website of minutes and agendas and newsletters. The code on the page is:

<div class="row">
        <ul>
          <?php perch_content('Minutes, Agendas, Newsletters'); ?>
        </ul>
</div>

and the template to generate the list is:


<perch:repeater id="minutes_agendas_newsletters" label="Minutes, Agendas, Newsletters" max="12" editor="markitup" required="false">


    <perch:before>
      <li>
    </perch:before>

    <perch:content type="textarea" id="minutes" label="Minutes, Agendas, Newsletters" editor="markitup" html="true" size="s" required="true" />

    <perch:after>
    </li></perch:after>


</perch:repeater>

The output only show one bullet point and the list is not liste at all (see https://www.facestalbans.co.uk/join.html)

I hope someone can help.

Thanks,

Paul

The before and after sections show before and after all items are output, not each item.

If you want each item to be in <li> then just add that to the template.

<perch:repeater id="minutes_agendas_newsletters" label="Minutes, Agendas, Newsletters" max="12" editor="markitup" required="false">
<li>
<perch:content type="textarea" id="minutes" label="Minutes, Agendas, Newsletters" editor="markitup" html="true" size="s" required="true" />
</li>
</perch:repeater>

Hello Drew

My client looked and tried to work with thsi and found the it was not right for them I changed the template to the one below but it will not create a bullet point for each new item added. Can you see why from the template code why this is not working see https://www.facestalbans.co.uk/join.html

<perch:repeater id="minutes_agendas_newsletters" label="Minutes, Agendas, Newsletters" max="12" editor="markitup" required="false">
  <perch:before>
    <li> 
  </perch:before>
  <a href="<perch:content id="minutes" type="file" label="Minutes, Agendas, Newsletters" />" target="_blank">
  <perch:content type="text" id="description" label="Description of Minutes, Agendas or Newsletters" order="1" html="true" required="true" title="true" />
  </a>
  <perch:after>
    </li>
  </perch:after>
</perch:repeater>

Many thanks,

Paul

Paul, the original solution is still the valid solution.
