• [NEW] Added Youtube videos to the event payload if there's any as part of the article
  • see PR #8 for more details

v3.0.0

3.0.0 (Jul 15, 2024)

• [BREAKING] PHP Version | The code base now requires a minimum version of PHP 8.1+
• [NEW] Added three new custom filters to allow for more flexibility in the plugin's behavior (see readme file):
  • ringier_bus_get_publication_reason - allows you to filter the publication reason before it is sent to the BUS API
  • ringier_bus_get_article_lifetime - allows you to filter the article lifetime before it is sent to the BUS API
  • ringier_build_article_payload - allows you to filter the entire article payload before it is sent to the BUS API
• [UPDATE]: Changed the way events are sent:
  • on new article creation, an event will now be immediately sent (this is a requirement for internal CIET)
  • the event will still be queued to run or re-run (in the case of an article update) after the default 1 minute
• [UPDATE]: Harmonised page title and menu
• [UPDATE]: Updated composer dependencies
• [UPDATE]: Cache nonce now defaults to the plugin version number for consistency
• [UPDATE]: Add more intuitive prompts to guide user, for e.g provide the STAGING and PROD endpoints right there in the UI to be handy for them

v2.3.0

2.3.0 (Oct 9, 2023)

• [UPDATE]: Transitioned from relying on the rest_after_insert_post hook to the more universally available transition_post_status hook.

Reason: We identified that some blogs were disabling the Gutenberg editor and as a result, not utilizing the new WordPress REST API. This meant that the rest_after_insert_post hook wasn't being triggered for those instances. To ensure consistent and robust post update handling across all blogs, regardless of their editor choice, we've shifted to the transition_post_status hook.

Impact: This change ensures that our logic remains consistent even in environments where Gutenberg is disabled or the REST API isn't being leveraged.

• [UPDATE]: Improved JSON handling and compression for Slack logging
  • Ensured safe JSON encoding with error checks

2.2.0 (Oct 9, 2023)

  • use-case: when you have several wordpress instance on the same root domain
  • by default, it will use the full domain as the primary category when enabled, with the flexibility for you to change it on the settings page

• [UPDATE] Refactored the logic for saving custom fields (on gutenberg) to work as soon as the plugin is active, irrespective if the BUS sync is OFF

• [FIX] There was a bug that could prevent the primary category of an article from being fetched from the fallback method if the one from Yoast fails
