MySource Matrix Developer Newsletter - Issue #107
The Search Page asset now allows you to select between Standard and Custom Grouping formats, allowing you to avoid the overhead of the latter. Previously, it used the Custom Grouping format and this could not be changed. This change was made to the development version only.
MySource Matrix Developer Newsletter - Issue #106
The Asset Tree Weightings system inside the Search Manager has changed slightly, effective from the 3.12 and development versions. Previously, when determining which tree weighting applied to which asset, the Search Manager looks through each tree for an asset type which matches (or inherits from) the asset being indexed.However, the order of which tree was searched first was flawed because of the way the getParents() function worked. The function expected getParents() to return the closest parents to the current asset first, however it now returns the list ordered by tree ID, so this assumption does not hold.The system now works the other way around - searching for each type code, of the asset type and its ancestors, across all trees. This means that an "All Asset Types" setting in a closer folder will not take precedence over a higher tree with an exact match for the asset type. The getParents() function also now orders by decreasing depth in the tree, which is still not perfect, but closer to what was expected by this function.If this change to the weightings system causes any issues elsewhere, please let us know.
