This blog post offers an overview of the new features and fixes introduced with MatchPoint version 4.0.8 for SharePoint 2013.

Page Size Selector

MatchPoint 4.0.8 comes with a new page size selector control:

MatchPoint

It can be used within Data Grid and Composite Web Parts. For the Data Grid, it is sufficient to return an integer array within the newly introduced PageSizeExpression in the configuration. MatchPoint will then use the first value as default page size and will provide the others as (ordered) options to the user.

For the Composite Web Part, it is additionally required to position the control within the transformer just like the Paging Control, using '' in the header or footer template.

Icon Mapping to override DocIcons

Using Icon Mappings within the MatchPoint Configuration it is now possible to override icons specified in the DocIcon.xml file of SharePoint. This can be done using the "File extension" prefix in the IconMapping node. All MatchPoint Web Parts consider this configuration setting e.g. in the Search Definition Web Part's file extension picker or the Data Grid Web Part's Icon Column.

Furthermore it is possible to use following predefined root elements: 'File Extension', 'Content Class', 'Crawled Content Class', 'Content Type'. Use 'MatchPointDefaultIcon' to define a default icon, which is rendered if no other pattern matches.

Note, that the well-known patterns using and * will work as in previous versions of MatchPoint.

Additional Changes

  • Reused Terms are now supported in the term picker, the term importer, and within configurations
  • MatchPoint uses the newest version of Code Mirror (5.3) (previously 3.1 was used)
