3.1.4

New Feature : Search Plugin

Introduction of the search plugin for Joomla.
At install, the plugin will automatically be installed in the 'search' plugin folder and will be enabled automatically.
You can now use the Joomla search module to find your component datas.

Implementation

In the component config, simply define "Include Search Plugin" to "Yes"

Only the tables with a front-end search filter will be considered as "searchable".

Improved ORM

Search: default logic : ‘OR'
Select: Use '.' for tableless based namespace
SQL concat() function

Improved model

LIST : getRoute() for getting item URL
Debug state for dumping the query : 'debug.query'

Fixes

Logout problem in sandbox fixed

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
