17. TRANSCRIBE & BETTER WORKFLOW DID NOT EXIST HAD A GREAT

    IDEA TURNS OUT IT WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA (100 FIELDS X 12) X 2 = 2400 COLUMNS MULTILINGUAL/DRAFTS 17

18. USE CUSTOM TABLE BUILD FIELDTYPE TO HOUSE OTHER FIELDTYPES WORKED!

    BUT JAVASCRIPT EVENTS WERE FLAKY AND WOULDN’T SUPPORT MATRIX MULTILINGUAL TAKE 2! 18

19. HAD TO BE A BETTER WAY MULTILINGUAL TAKE 3! $this->api_channel_fields->apply('display_publish_field',

    array($field_value)); $this->EE->api_channel_fields->apply('save', array($data[$field_name])); $this->EE->api_channel_fields->apply('replace_tag', array('data' => $data, 'params' => $params, 'tagdata' => $tagdata)); 19

20. JACKPOT! function apply($method, $parameters = array()) { $_ft_path = $this->ft_paths[$this->field_type];

    FALSE); if(array_key_exists('uhura', $this->EE->addons->get_installed())) { if(isset($this->EE->form_validation->_error_array) AND count($this->EE->form_validation->_error_array) > 0) { // Do nothing. } else { require_once 'Uhura_Api_channel_fields.php'; $uhura = new Uhura_Api_channel_fields($this); $parameters = $uhura->apply($method, $this->field_type, $parameters); } } $res = call_user_func_array(array(&$this->field_types[$this->field_type], $method), $parameters); $this->EE->load->remove_package_path($_ft_path); return $res; } 22

23. QUESTIONS? 23

24. SCOPED TO USE SOLR CAN WE USE A 3RD PARTY

    SEARCH MODULE INSTEAD? SERIOUSLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR A WEEK STUCK WITH SOLR. GLAD WE DID. (EVEN THOUGH IT WAS AN EPIC P.I.T.A.) SEARCH 24

25. SEARCH RELEVANCY WEIGHTING/BOOST FAST. FREAKING FAST. DEMO SEARCH BENEFITS OF

    SOLR 25
