This is a selection of hints, tips, finds and anything else I want to archive on the interwebs.
In part because I want to write a little more than 140 characters but mainly as I fear linkrot with much of what I tweet.

I promise that this will be my last post about Perch, I am starting to look somewhat obsessed.
This hack was born out of necessity as I found that the admin UI on large Perch sites looked daunting to new editors. Though the UI is beautiful and clean I was finding the lists would be endless and the editor could not find the page, let alone the region. This is something that Perch are looking at but I wanted a solution for the meantime. Unfortunately the solution is horribly hacky, involving altering the perch.js file.
Add the following to the bottom of the perch.js file (found in the your-perch-folder/assets/js/perch.js)
function pageTidy () {
if($('td.page').length > 1) {
resetToTidy();
$('.page span').css({ cursor: 'pointer' });
$('.page span').click(function() {
resetToTidy();
$(this).parent('td').parent('tr').addClass('currentPage');
$('.currentPage').children('td').show();
$('.currentPage').nextAll().each(function(index) {
if($(this).css('display') == 'table-row'){
return false;
}
$(this).show();
});
});
}
}
function resetToTidy() {
$('.d tbody tr').hide();
$('.shared').parent('tr').show();
$('.shared').parent('tr').nextAll().each(function(index) {
if($(this).children('td').hasClass('page')) {
return false;
}
$(this).show();
});
$('.d tr').removeClass('currentPage');
$('.page').parent('tr').show();
$('.page').siblings('td').hide();
}
Then add pageTidy(); to the init function. So it would now look like:
var init = function() {
$('body').addClass('js');
enhanceCSS();
initPopups();
hideMessages();
pageTidy();
};
