Changelog

3.4.0

Enhancements:

• Added departments as a filter to the ucf-degree-search endpoint.

3.3.3

Enhancements:

• Added composer file.

3.3.2

Enhancements:

3.3.0

Enhancements:

3.2.11

Enhancements:

• Updates our degree search endpoints for taxonomies to filter results using the post_types argument for get_terms(), where possible, to help ensure results only include terms assigned to at least one degree post. The post_types argument is provided by the Query Terms by Post Types plugin, and will be ignored/have no effect if that plugin is not activated.

3.2.10

Enhancements:

• Updated imported college and department terms to use name field from search service instead of full_name, in anticipation of search service v2.5.0 updates.

3.2.9

Bug Fixes:

• Updates the degree importer logic to ignore degrees that have the "Ignore on Import" flag checked.

3.2.8

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed splitting columns in twocol layout for Safari and Firefox.

3.2.7

Enhancements:

• Updated the twocol_grouped layout.

3.2.6

Enhancements:

• Updated dependencies, added configs and GitHub templates.
• Added a two-column layout ('twocol') to be used with the degree-list shortcode.

3.2.5

Bug Fixes:

• Updated the degree importer to ensure existing taxonomy term associations are removed from each degree before assigning new terms

Enhancements:

• Removed the careers column from the degree CPT admin view to reduce clutter.

3.2.4

Bug Fixes:

• Updated degree importer to account for hierarchical taxonomies, which can't be added by ID.
• Fixed array merge bug in UCF_Degree_Config::get_api_select_options() to preserve associative array key integrity.

3.2.3

Bug Fixes:

• Removed incorrect syntax in filter parameters.

3.2.2

Enhancements:

• Added ability to turn api calls to search service on and off for tuition

3.2.1.

Bug Fixes:

• Updated get_parent_program_id() to return the program's parent ID from $this->program->parent_program->id instead of fetching per-parent API results. See https://github.com/UCF/Search-Service-Django/pull/28.
• Increased API fetch timeout from 5 seconds to 10
• Added check in UCF_Degree_Common::return_verified_result() to ensure $results is an array before attempting to loop through it. Resolves #83 .

3.2.0

Enhancements:

• Updated the degree importer to get the tuition data from the program object in the search service (recently added).
• Adds a filter for adjusting the tuition string.
• Adds the degree_tuition_skip field which, when checked, will add a TuitionOverride object to the search service via an API call.
• Adds admin messages for letting the user know if the API call is successful.

3.1.0

Enhancements:

• Added the "Areas of Interest" (interests) taxonomy for Degrees
• Added API endpoints for interests and post tags
• Added an importer for interests
• Added a hook for modifying grouped degree lists by taxonomy (ucf_degree_group_posts_by_tax)
• Added a hook for modifying the sort order of grouped degree lists outputted by the [degree-list] shortcode (ucf_degree_list_sort_grouped_degrees)

Bug Fixes:

• Added missing quote to class attribute on the ucf-degree-list-title heading.
• Fixed an incorrect function name in function_exists() call for ucf_degree_group_posts_by_tax.

3.0.2

Enhancements:

• Adds the program_types and colleges GET parameters to the /wp/v2/degrees/ endpoint.
• Adds very simple college schema to each result in the ucf-degree-search/v1/degrees/ endpoint.

3.0.1

Enhancements:

• Updated profile and description type fetches to cache failed responses for 2 minutes, to avoid subsequent external requests to the API on every admin page load
• Added default empty option to profile and description type dropdowns on the plugin options page for improved clarity when an option hasn't been selected

3.0.0

Enhancements:

• Refactored the degree import script for compatibility with the new UCF Search Service. Note that the updated Search Service requires an API key for any access; you will not be able to import fresh degree data until obtaining an API key.
• The default set of Program Type terms has been updated. Degrees are now explicitly assigned both a parent and child Program Type term, e.g. "Undergraduate Program" AND "Bachelor" (previously, only the child term was explicitly assigned).
• Degree subplans are now saved as separate degree posts. Subplans are saved as direct children of their parent degree program (are hierarchical).
• Removed the following degree meta data: degree_type_id, degree_description
• Added the following degree meta data: degree_api_id, degree_plan_code, degree_subplan_code, degree_name_short
• Updated the Degree Search API REST controller to organize results with plan/subplan hierarchy, and to add support for the updated Program Type default terms + their expected sort order.
• Unique site-specific degree profile URLs and descriptions (degree post_content values) can now be written back up to the UCF Search Service whenever a degree is modified.

Please note that this version of the plugin is not compatible with previous plugin versions' imported degree data. If you require use of the degree import script, we recommend deleting all existing Program Type and Department terms (if applicable) before running a fresh degree import to ensure that all stale degrees are removed and new degrees are imported successfully.

2.0.3

• Adds an endpoint for retrieving degree-specific Relevanssi results.

Enhancements:

• Added fullname and plural to degree-search API colleges and program-types

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed notices

2.0.0

Enhancements:

• Converts layout actions for degree lists and career path lists to filters, and consolidates arguments passed to degree list layout functions. Please note this change is not backward-compatible with layouts registered using hooks provided by older versions of the plugin.
• Changed the generic class name "Degrees" to "UCF_Degree_Commands"
• Removed anonymous function calls for improved support with older versions of PHP
• Fixed plugin activation and deactivation hooks being referenced outside of the if-statements that check whether or not the functions exist yet.

1.1.0

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed bug with output of UCF_Degree_PostType::taxonomies() still returning nonexistent taxonomies

Enhancements:

• Adds some hooks that should allow the import process to be extended for a specific site's needs.
• Added the helper method UCF_Degree_Program_Types_Common::get_name_or_alias(), which returns a program type's alias, if available, or name.

1.0.2

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed rewrite rule issues on plugin activation/deactivation.

Enhancements:

• Added a custom REST route for the Angular degree search.
• The degree-search api now orders the results by program_types using the new order_by-taxonomy, order_by_taxonomy_field and order_by_taxonomy_order fields.

• Updated to detect if the now built-in REST API is available.

Enhancements:

• Added postmeta to the meta field of the api.
