MySource Matrix Developer

MySource Matrix Changelog - 3.24.0 RC1 to 3.24.0

Featured Changes

iCal Data Source

This new Data Source accepts a URL or server file supplied in iCal-format and exposes the events as shadow assets. The Summary information of each event is used to name each event under the Data Source. This can then be used like other Data Source assets in Asset Listings.

HIPO Job optimisations on Squiz Server

The previous change to save progress information for HIPO Jobs run on Squiz Server every 1% has been removed. Progress information is now no longer saved for such jobs.

Log to System Log support

A new option, "Log Errors To Syslog" has been added to System Configuration, to specify whether Matrix errors are to also be logged to the operating system log. The "facility" used for logging can be specified here as well (ie; "User", or "Local 0..7").

The "System Name" will be used as a System Log identifier, but this will default to the Matrix system string "Squiz MySource [version] (Matrix)" if the name is not specified.

Multiple E-Commerce Carts

The E-Commerce Cart asset now stores contents per Checkout Page within the user session instead of just one system-wide cart.

Search Manager: Multi-Context Searching

Context-aware data is now indexed and searches performed within a context now return results stored against that context.

Roles query optimisations

Some further query optimisations have been accomplished which may increase general performance when Roles are enabled.

Listing Engine: Customisation of pagination links and text

Two new attributes, "Page Link Format" and "Current Page Format", are available in assets such as Asset Listing and Search Page to allow the pagination text and links to be customised. The %page_link% and %page_number% keywords can be used in these attributes to customise these links.

For example:

Page link format: <a href="%page_link%" class="page-link-class">Page %page_number%</a>
Current page format: <span class="current-page-class">Page %page_number%</span>
