Introduction
Hello everyone
If you haven't seen it, there's a new Perch forum in town! I've added a link below. It's great to see this because the older forum was feeling a bit tired.
In other news, I've had a very busy start to the year. Lots of projects to finish and I plan to get some of these sites launched in February. Last year at this time, I was much less busy. Freelancing has always been unpredictable!
See you next time.

New Perch Forum
There's a new Perch Forum. It looks great! Already there are some useful discussions and it feels like a step-up from the older forum.
The old forum still exists as an archive if you need to find an older post.
Add-Ons
Interested in a Members Profile app?
If you work with Perch CMS, I'm trying to gauge interest for an app that would extend the Members App and allow Members to edit their profiles for display on website front end. Let me know if that sounds interesting.
There is a third party Members Profile app already but I want additional functionality. So, I'm considering funding the development of an app. Reply on Twitter if this sounds like something you might use.

How Do I?
Using Date fields in Slugs
A slug field creates a URL-safe slug from the content of one (or more) fields in an edit form. Here's how to use date fields for slugs.
Adding a common text area to each Repeater item
Need a common text area in a repeater item? Here's how to do that by accessing content from a region outside the repeater using suppress
and scope
attributes.
