4.14.0 RC1

The User IP Condition restriction can be used to specify an IP range rule on a user account to determine its user groups. Previously, this condition only supported Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv6) IP addresses.

This feature adds support for IPv6 IP addresses when setting the User IP Condition on a user account.

New Script to Regenerate the Asset File Contents (#5939)

A new script has been added to Squiz Matrix to regenerate the asset file contents within the system. This includes metadata files, design files and bodycopy content files.

The regenerate_file_systems.php script is found in the system's Scripts directory and takes the following parameters:

  • --system=<SYSTEM_ROOT> : the root directory of your Squiz Matrix system.
  • --rootnode=<ROOT_NODE> : the root node you wish to regenerate the file contents from.
  • --designs : specifies to only regenerate design files.
  • --metadata : specifies to only regenerate metadata files.
  • --bodycopies : specifies to only regenerate bodycopy content files.
  • --all : specifies to regenerate all file content (metadata, design and bodycopy content files).

Usage of this script is as follows:

$ php scripts/regenerate_file_system.php --system=<SYSTEM_ROOT> --rootnode=100 --all

New Trigger Action: Clear Session Var (#6082)   

Trigger actions allow you to specify tasks that will be performed when a fired trigger meets a specified set of conditions. Squiz Matrix boasts an extensive array of trigger actions that are available, from creating new assets to updating your twitter status.

This feature introduces a brand new trigger action to clear Squiz Matrix sandbox session variables. 

The Clear Session Vars trigger action can be configured on the Details screen of a trigger and allows you to clear sandbox session variables on the system, or to identify particular session variable(s) to clear, specified by either name or prefix.

This new trigger action compliments and can be used in conjunction with the existing Set Session Var trigger action, to store a value in a session-level array temporarily, before removing the variable. 

Additionally, this action can be used to clear session variables created by form submission actions, such as the Make SOAP Call action, addressing an issue previously reported within Matrix (#6058).  

Redis Cache Storage (#6100)  

This feature introduces new Redis cache storage for Squiz Matrix. Redis (http://redis.io/) is a  data structure store similar to memcache, but supports additional data structure types/operations and is extremely efficient.

Redis outperforms memcache cache storage when large numbers of cache objects are created for individual assets (e.g. by viewing different URLs). This is due to a limitation with existing memcache cache storage that introduces performance hits in such situations.

There is no known disadvantage of using Redis cache storage when compared with memcache.  

TRIM Saved Search: Convert Result Fields from URI to Full Title (#6107)   

The TRIM Saved Search asset allows you to configure a set of TRIM search criteria in Squiz Matrix, storing and updating the results of the search on the system.

Previously, search results returned on the TRIM Saved Search would return result fields (such as Author, Assignee and Creator) as URIs (TRIM's internal ID). This is, however, not ideal as these URIs would not make sense when displayed on the frontend.

This feature will automatically convert result fields to to their full titles. The fields covered are as followed: recCreatorLoc, recOwnerLoc, recAuthorLoc, recClientLoc, recCurrentLoc, recHomeLoc, recOtherLoc, recPrimaryContactLoc, recRepresentLoc, recAssignee.
