News
Two New Stable Releases
New stable releases of MySource Matrix were released on Tuesday. Versions 3.4.7 and 3.6.1 were released internally and are not available for download from the MySource Matrix web site.
New Features
Backend Interface Window Changes
Added to: 3.7.0 development
To aid developers (and others) who often have a lot of MySource Matrix windows open for testing, the window title for the backend interfaces has changed from '<system name> Backend', for both _admin and _edit, to '<system name> Administration Interface' for _admin and '<system name> Simple Edit Interface' for _edit.
Types In Incomplete Metadata Report
Added to: 3.7.0 development
The incomplete metadata report now allows you to select the types of assets you want reported. For very large reports, this new option allows you to limit the size by just viewing the types of assets you are interested in rather than all assets in a section of the asset tree.
New User Frequency Show If Condition
Added to: 3.7.0 development
There is now a new show if condition that you can use to conditionally display content either:
- once every X hits by a user
- once every X hits limit 1 per specified time period
- once every specified time period
This condition requires the use of a cookie so must be used in a design before any output is generated.
