MySource Matrix Changelog - 3.18.5 to 3.18.6

Featured Changes

URL Parameter support in Remap Manager

Remap Manager now supports URLs containing parameters for remapping. URLs of the form "http://example.com/page?param=1" will be compared for an exact match. Failing this, Remap Manager will fall back to any matches by URL without parameters (ie; "http://example.com/page") before issuing an HTTP 404 (Not Found) error.

Future Permission Trigger Action

A new trigger action "Future Permission" and a related Cron Job have been added. This action allows permissions to be granted or denied for users or groups in the same manner as is available on the "Permissions" screen of an asset. Future Permissions may also be set directly from the asset "Permissions" screen.

Markdown Content Type

A new Markdown content type has been added to the CMS Package. This content type takes a simplified equivalent of HTML as an alternative to Raw HTML and WYSIWYG. This content type interfaces with third-party tools, "markdown" and "markdownify", which need to be configured on the "External Tools Configuration" screen of System Configuration to provide this functionality.

Messaging Service Email Notification change

Email messages generated by the Messaging Service (eg; workflow notifications) are no longer sent to "User" assets. Only users who can access the backend (ie; "Backend Users" or above) will be sent these messages.

Messaging Service and Bulkmail emails Character Set change

Email messages generated by Matrix including workflow notifications and Bulkmail content now use the Matrix Default Character Set defined in "System Configuration", instead of the default (usually ISO-8859-1).

New Session Global Keyword

A new Global Keyword in the format %globals_session_*% is available which can access items in the Matrix Session sandbox.

Time-Based Triggers

A "Metadata Time" Trigger Event and Condition, and a new Cron Job have been added to support triggering of events based on the date/time stored in a specified Metadata Date Field. A "Metadata Time" Trigger Event is fired which can then be captured up by triggers to perform Trigger Actions with these assets.

Filtering by Thesaurus Terms in Related Asset Listing

Thesaurus assets can now be liked on the Details screen of Related Asset Listing to further filter the listing by tags. The "Thesaurus Filters" attribute on this screen provides this functionality. Only assets that are tagged by terms defined in these Thesaurus assets will be listed.
