New SOAP API System Service to Display the  Matrix Version Number (#6055) 

A new SOAP API System Service has been added to manage  the system functions of  Squiz Matrix's SOAP Server. This asset can be accessed via the Web Services menu within the asset creation menu and is enabled on the Details screen of the SOAP Server, in the same manner as the existing SOAP API services.

The SOAP API System Service currently manages the new getMatrixVersion() function, that will return the Squiz Matrix version number of the current system.

This function takes no parameters; it's usage is as follows:

<SOAP-ENV:Body>
  <ns1:GetMatrixVersion />
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

When run, this function will display the version number of your system within the SOAP response, like so:

<ns1:GetMatrixVersionResponse>
  <MatrixVersion>4.14.1</MatrixVersion>
</ns1:GetMatrixVersionResponse>

SOAP API: New Function to Retrieve the Thesaurus Tags of an Asset (#6072)

Assets within Squiz Matrix can be tagged with user-created thesaurus  terms to classify content within common categories. These tags can then be used in conjunction with other assets within the system, for example, on a Related Asset Listing Page to display assets associated with one another.

This feature introduces a new function on the Squiz Matrix SOAP API Asset Service, to retrieve the thesaurus terms that have been tagged on an asset.

The getTags() function takes the following parameters:

  • AssetID: the ID of the asset to retrieve the tagged terms of.
  • ThesaurusIDs: this optional parameter allows you to filter the returned tagged terms to a specific Thesaurus asset(s) (defined by asset ID).

The format of the getTags() function is as follows:

<ns1:GetTags>
    <AssetID>86</AssetID>
    <ThesaurusID>132</ThesaurusID>
</ns1:GetTags>

A example response for this function is outlined below. The tags returned will display their tag ID, name, weight and link ID, as well as the ID of the Thesaurus the tagged term is under.

<ns1:GetTagsResponse>
  <GetTagsResult>
    <TagID>132:4</TagID>
    <TagName>News</TagName>
    <ThesaurusID>132</ThesaurusID>
    <Weight>1</Weight>
    <LinkID>290</LinkID>
  </GetTagsResult>
  <GetTagsResult>
    <TagID>132:9</TagID>
    <TagName>Australia</TagName>
    <ThesaurusID>132</ThesaurusID>
    <Weight>1</Weight>
    <LinkID>312</LinkID>
  </GetTagsResult>
</ns1:GetTagsResponse>

Calendar Event Search Page: New Upcoming Events Fuzzy Option (#6127)

The Events Date Filter Configuration settings on a Calendar Event Search Page allow you to set the date query fields for filtering event search results.

Whilst configuring these settings, you can choose to include a drop-down or checkbox field of pre-defined date values for users to input the date filter (Fuzzy Dropdown and Fuzzy Checkbox). Values available using these options include Today, Next Week, Previous Month and This Year etc.

This minor enhancements adds a new fuzzy option available in these fields: Upcoming Events. This option allows you to define an Event Horizon that users can select to filter the event search results (by default, 180 days).  

This enhancement has been added to allow you to configure a Calendar Event Search Page that will allow users to conveniently search for any upcoming events.

REST Resource JavaScript: Pre-Process Global Keywords (#6157) 

The REST Resource JavaScript asset is used by Squiz Matrix to communicate with web services exposing themselves using Representational State Transfer (REST) methods, using JavaScript processing of the REST response.

This feature introduces a new Pre-Process Matrix Global Keywords option on the JavaScript Processing settings of the REST Resource JavaScript asset, allowing global keyword (%globals_XXX%) to be evaluated prior to running JavaScript. By default, this option is disabled.
