Version 1.8

The main new features of EWF 1.8 are:

  • A topic tag structure for content types

  • A topic landing page configurable through conventional config sections

  • New widgets to be used with regards to topics

  • Updated widgets to be able to show content for a given topic

This version contains additions to the Escenic Standard Filter Chain, the filters involved with deciphering the URL, loading the appropriate variables and adding them to the request scope. This is to make available the tag used as (and from now on known as) a topic, as well as related objects necessary to create a proper topic page. As part of the topic page the URL pattern is resolved by a new filter that returns the actual topic object as well as the first found topic (typed) article and a list of search results on other content types as variables on the request scope. These variables can in turn be used by the widgets added to the topic configuration pages.
