New Buttons on PDP

To keep a consistency throughout the buttons reach better clickrates some little adjustments has been made for the reminder and shopping list buttons. The new button will be bigger, more present and displayed right under the price tag.

Following behavior have been defined for the buttons:

  • Button text can be edited (not longer than 1 row) 
  • If the text on the Tile is longer than 1 row then rest of the text will be diplayed as "..."
  • The icon for shopping list in the meta navigation will not be replaced with the new icon of the button which will be displayed on PDP
  • Shopping List button will have two conditions:
    • initial condition - text and icon are inital
      • after clicking on button (add product to List) the conditions switches to "active" and button will display different text
    • active condition - button shows non initial text
      • after clicking on button (remove product from List) the conditions switches to "initial" and button will display text again

  2. Go to Tab ARTICLES
  3. Check new lable fields and fill in with desired text
    1. "Add to" lable
    2. "remove from" lable

Important Information

The new buttons will only be visible on the Product Detail Page

Change energy efficiency labels on article tile and PDP:

New Efficiency Lables

Until now the effiency label had different scales for different article categories. To make it more uniformly and more policy adjusted a legal requirement for the new efficiency scale has been defined by the European Union with a new design which should be used in the future for any category. The new scale goes from A - G and is marked as "new layout" since it has a new design implemented. The old layout will still be existent in the meantime.

Label can be selected in the settings of any assortment product in the area Energy efficiency.

The new design contains: 

  • Class is displayed in white color on the left side of the arrow
  • The letter is displayed in the middle of the rectangle part of the arrow
  • Color of the arrow is the color of the energy efficiency class
  • Font size is at least as big as the font size of the price tag
  • Legend below the label is removed

 

Following dates are set for using the new scale:

  • From 1st of March the product groups washing machines, washer-dryers, refrigerators, freezers and electronics are initially affected by this change
  • Product group of lights will be affected by the 1st of September 
  • Rest of labled product group will change the efficiency label in 2022

Important Information

Legally required for the stated product groups starting 1st of March latest by 18th of March 2021.

Implementation Design System - Component Buttons:

New Buttons

In terms of the new Design System we have now adjusted the Component buttons which contains primary, secondary, inverted and disabled buttons and also text links.

If a button is placed next to a input field (for example in the storefinder) then the hight of the input field will be adjusted according to the button.

Transparent Image for product integration in Salesforce::

After publishing an Offer Page in the AEM all the articles are being pushed into the Saleforce Marketing Cloud, while doing that an ImageLink gets tranfered too from the AEM for each article. This ImageLink leads to the Image in the DAM which has a white background (except for ALDI delivery articles) that is inefficient for the user in Salesforce since it is not possible to adjust the background color as needed. 

Therefore all articles will have an tranparent background color in order to be able to change the background color on the Salesforce end as needed.  

Make Redirect URL from an empty shopping list page editable:

When your current shopping list is empty, you see a button which redirects to the homepage, which is not logical. Therefore a link to the assortmentpage would be more suitable since the customer can immediately start adding products to their shopping list. 

The button can be edited as following:

  • Open the settings of the Shopping List page
  • Check that two new fields are available on Tab SHOPPING LIST
    • text field Link label (mandatory)
    • path selectorLink target (not mandatory, if it is left out blank then the button will link to Homepage as default)
  • Fill out the fields as needed
  • Save and publish page

Important Information

Please be aware that the field Link label is mandatory which means it has to be filled.

We also prepared a Content Update Ticket which will be assigned to you after the content training.

AEM Optimization: Shortcut from Article Tile to Article-Page:

Icon of the new Shortcut

To optimze to work in the AEM a new shortcut has been added to the action menue of the Artice tile component. This new shortcut opens a new tab which leads to the properties of the actual article Page within the AEM. If the Article tile has no reference to any article yet, the button will be not displayed.

The function is also available on  Product Enhanced and Product page in the old Article Tile Group component. 

Recipe-Details - Extension of webservice for tips:

The new tip component for recipes which can be added in the ingrdients section, preparation section or for the recipe page in genereal has been extended to the Webservice. This means after publishing a recipe page which contains tips they will be visible in the app as well.

Webservice: Add maintenance dialog for configuration parameters:

It is possible to define a configration parameter on some Webservice routs/ topics. Some of those parameters have no option for a maintenance dialog. This has been adjusted and harmonized in the RecourceType settings of the page.

Webservice - Change value from promotionNavTitle for Promotions:

Until now the attributes promotionTitle and promotionNavTitle had the same value which caused wrong output. There the value for promotionNavTitle has been adjust to achieve the right output. 

Exmaple:

  • Until now: "promotionNavTitle": "Aktion Mo. 18.01.", "promotionTitle": "Aktion Mo. 18.01.",
  • Adjustment: "promotionNavTitle": "Aktion","promotionTitle": "Aktion Mo. 18.01.",

.

Webservice - Integration of the flyer (magazine) in the App:

When using the app and click on magazine your are directed to the webpage of magazine outside the app then another click opens the desired magazine. Furthermore it is difficult for the user to see what is new when they visit the app more times, beacuse it is always the same banner with a mockup flyer that is shown.

So in order to increase user experience all magazines will be accessable in the app direclty and the front page of the flyer will be displayed directly and work as a teaser for the user. Also multiple flyers will be shown next to each other so the user can see the current and next flyers together with e.g. a christmas catalogue.

The order inside the App follows the order on the website.

Important Information

This will only work if the Content Tile Enhanced is used in the AEM, otherwise the magazine overview will not show up in the App.

Feature Toggle: Display Offer date on the article image on PDP:

On the country page there is a switch that can be used to deactivate the display of the offer date (on the product image at the top left) on all product detail pages of your country.
If the switch is active, the date is no longer displayed on all product detail pages of your country.

Bugfixes

  • Stores-Pages not generated for ALDI FR - The error has been fixed so the stores can be generated now from the yellowmap data
  • Webservice - DE - soldOutText for external articles provides label of normal articles -  Sold out text has been adjusted to the app. Products which are only available online will display a different sold out lable. (Can be configurated on Language Page)
  • Job Search - Search Term is overlapping Search Icon - Fixed. Search term is not overlapping the Search Icon anymore
  • Onboarding for Week Tabs not aligned - The week tabs on the onboarding were not placed exaclty in the middle. This has been fixed
  • Contact Form: Send-Button and Link too close - Spacing between submit button and reset link on the contact form has been adjusted 

Important Information:

The Content Author Guide will be tranferred fully into Confluence by mid March. We will share the Conflence space and Link soon so that all the information can be looked up there.
