Below you will find a summary of some of the major changes, improvements and additions that have been added to Fabrik 3.1 since Fabrik 3.1rc2.

General

  • Search plugin
    • Added search plugin option to include (or not) the list label in the link
    • Adding optional date field to J! search plugin.
  • Content plugin - fixed:  random=1 not working for list views, also simplified limit modifier, so that limit=2 now works
  • Autocomplete - Added new global 'auto-complete min trigger chars' option, which gets used as default in the helper func that builds the auto-complete.
