Introduction

Hi folks

It's a slightly shorter issue this week but I have found some interesting links that help with, for example, building multi-lingual sites and using single item URLs in different contexts.

See you next time.

Tips And Tricks

Single item URL limitations and workarounds

Configuring the single item URL for Perch Collections and multiple-item Content Regions is essential [...] because it is used for generating the URL for “View Page” button on the control panel.

This URL is also used in the search results. If you implement a content search on your site, it is important to configure the single item URL so Perch knows what URL to use for the matching items.

The ID template attribute

The id template attribute is a unique identifier for the content field. It is a required attribute. Use letters, numbers and underscores only for an id.
