Three New MySource Matrix Developers
This week we welcome three new MySource Matrix developers to the Sydney office, Pratibha, Scott and Yosep. Please make each of them welcome and remember how hard it was when you first had to start Matrix development.
New Features
Grouped Listings
Added to: 3.5.0 beta, 3.7.0 development
The listing engine now has the ability to group listed assets by a common parent or metadata field. Grouping by attribute value. Grouping by attribute value has not been developed but could be added at a later date if required.
You are able to construct as many levels of grouping as you require, but all assets will be displayed in the final level of grouping. So you can, for example, group all results by a common parent, and then group those parents by the value of a metadata field, displaying all listed assets in metadata groups.
Grouping works for all assets that extend listing engine, so the functionality is available in the asset listing, search page and the what's new page.
500 Error If Database Is Down
Added to: 3.5.0 beta, 3.7.0 development
MySource Matrix now returns a 500 Internal Server Error is the database server is down when a page is requested. This allows monitoring software to detect that the database is no longer running and the MySource Matrix is no longer serving pages.
Paginated Form Submissions
Added to: 3.4.3 stable, 3.5.0 beta, 3.7.0 development
Previously, all form submission were listed on the same page in the custom form. This caused errors when a large number of form submissions (> 10,000) were being displayed. The custom form now has a paginated interface for viewing form submissions, allowing the interface to cope with an unlimited number of submission for a single form.
Due to this feature allowing custom forms to scale to a much higher number of submissions, this feature was also added to 3.4.3 stable.
