After installing and setting up Publisher, I noticed that one of my matrix fields {sidebar_links} is now no longer showing up in my site’s pages, though I can see the field in my channel entry.

Did you translate the content? Is the Persistent Matrix setting turned on?

The information provided isn’t really much to go on in terms of debugging it. Does this happen to any other Matrix fields? Did you click the link at the bottom of the Publisher settings page to run the P&T add-on updates for Publisher? Have you tried replicating this by setting up a new EE environment with only Matrix and Publisher installed?

I was able to workaround this issue by removing a conditional from my template that checked for content in the Matrix field:

{if sidebar_links}

... content that was not showing up on the page ...

{/if}

Basically, any any entry that I published after installing Publisher would stop showing just this Matrix field.

I’ll go ahead and mark this as resolved, but is this a known issue? I don’t remember seeing anything in the documentation that warned against checking for a Matrix field in a conditional. Thanks!

It should have copied content to the main EE tables so those conditionals evaluate as true. This may be a bug though. I’ll take a look.

Keeping this ticket open so I don’t forget about it.

Steven, the next release removes this requirement, but if you set at least 1 column in each Matrix field searchable, it should work with the {if} conditional.

E.g. the next release won’t require a column to be set as searchable.
