A new global keyword has been added that will display the protocol of the current URL, either http or https.

%globals_protocol%

This global keyword has been added in conjunction with a bug fix, where the WYSIWYG editor's Embed YouTube Video plugin was unable to output the video URL using the https protocol. This resulted in HTTPS sites not displaying this content. This has now been fixed along with the inclusion of this global keyword to display the correct protocol based on the current URL.

New Trigger Action to Issue Preset Counter Numbers (#6698)

A new Issue Counter Values trigger action has been added that will issue unique counter integers to a session variable name, when a trigger is fired. This session variable value can then be used in conjunction with a new Counter Number Issued trigger event to apply the issued integer within Squiz Matrix, for example, as a metadata field or asset attribute value.

The integers issued by this new trigger action can be configured to either increase or decrease by a value of 1, each time the action is fired.

The implementation possibilities for this new trigger action/event combo are varied. One such usage could be assigning member IDs to newly created user accounts via the Issue Counter Values trigger action; Once the counter value is issued, a second trigger (fired by the Counter Number Issued event) could apply the issued integer as a metadata value on the new user account asset.

Cache Manager: New Accelerator Cache Expiry Options (#6710)

Squiz Matrix's Cache Manager allows you to configure the caching settings within your system.

These caching settings include the Browser Cache Expiry field, which defines the length of time (in seconds) that a requested page will be cached within a browser. Once this time has lapsed, the page will expire.

Previously, this cache expiry setting was honoured by both browsers and accelerators (such as Squid). This meant, however, that if the Browser Cache Expiry field was set to, for example, 24 hours, both the browser and Squiz would cache the page for 24 hours each. This meant that a user could potentially see 48 hour old content.

This feature introduces a new Accelerator Cache Expiry field to set the individual expiry time for content in accelerator proxies.

The Accelerator Cache Expiry field can be found on the Details screen of the Cache Manager.

The value entered into this field will define the length of time that content is cached within a proxy accelerator. If this field is left empty, the s-maxage cache header attribute will not be sent and the accelerator's default expiry settings will be used.

New Trigger Action to Remove a User From a User Group for Current Session (#6722)

A new trigger action has been added to allow a user to be temporarily removed from a specified user group for the current login session. The Leave User Group for Session action allows you to select one or more user groups to temporarily remove the current user from, when the trigger is fired and its conditions are met.

This new action works in the opposite manner to the existing Join User Group for Session trigger action, which will dynamically link the current user to a User Group for the remainder of the login session. A new 'Remove user from previously joined session groups' field has also been added to this action to remove a user from any previously joined session groups, before joining new groups through this trigger action.
