Release Notes 1-100

About the development of new requirements and optimizations of the Content Management System.

New Features and Enhancements

Feature Toggle Canary Islands

Canary Feature Toggle

A feature toggle to enable the Region feature has been implemented.

 

With the 3 options in the CountryPage (TAB Country Settings, section Regionalization and Language/Region-Switch Settings) the dialogs and the switching can be controlled:

  • Region-Selection enabled
  • Show dialog at region-switch
  • Show region-switch on storedetail-pages

The display of the region/language switch can also be controlled: 

  • Enable the switch in the Meta-Navi
  • Show only the current chosen language/region
  • Listing / Dropdown

 

Internationalization of FAQ

Until now the FAQ component is currently only connected to the Salesforce data from Germany. However the component is already maintainable in all countries, therefore an internalization has been made to make the component workable for all countries.

The FAQ component (FAQ Search and FAQ Category) is adapted to the interface from Salesforce and internationalized. So after Release Deployment the display of the FAQ category selection will be in the content language in the edit dialog of the FAQ Category component as well as the display of the FAQs themselves in the content language.
If there are several language variants, the language variant is automatically adapted to the country/selection.

Remove H3 tags (HTML code) empty on more than 400 pages

It has been noticed that there were a total of 425 pages with an empty h3 headline tag, which is not good for SEO  and performance. These empty tags are created because of the tracking opt out elements. 

Therefore from now on if no opt out elements are configured then no empty h3 tags will be created. This will improve the performance and the SEO.

Downloading Instagram-Videos

Note in component in the author will be displayed  that indicates that videos have not yet been downloaded

An analysis has shown that we should download the videos of the postings selected in the Instagram component to ensure that they can be played correctly.  So from Release 1.100, after selecting an Instagram post that contains a video and saving the dialog, this video is then downloaded to the DAM in the Author.

The location of the videos is always /content/dam/aldi/{COUNTRY}/instagram/videos

For example: /content/dam/aldi/germany/instagram/videos for Germany and it will be named with the unique media ID. Every video will not be downloaded double so if the video is already downloaded in the DAM will not be downloaded again.

 

Following criterias adapts to the new download system: 

  • Pages with an Instagram component can only be published if all videos in the component have already been downloaded and published, therefore a note in component in the author will be displayed  that indicates that videos have not yet been downloaded and that the editor should wait with the publishing
  • If the author publishes the Page with the instagram component he will be asked if the videos should be also published, this is the same query we know about new images on pages
  • After selecting a new video and saving the dialogue, the video would not be downloaded immediately (it needs some of course a bit until the download is completed), still it is possible to provide a preview in the author for the editor
    •  For a preview purposes you can continue to use Instagram URLs in the author 
  • Videos which are no longer in use will be deleted after a week of non-use
  • Videos that have been deleted will be downladed again if the autor adds it into the Instagram component again, they will be treated as new video

Data Attributes for shopping list CTA

After the adjustment of the Add To Shopping List button via which several products can be added at once, it was noticed that the Data Attributes are no longer correct. This error causes each additional add after initial product to be tracked as Remove. Therefore, some adjustments habe been made so that addition and removals can be recorded correctly.

Button that links to recipe page

Currently there is no possibility to see the publish state of the recipe in the Recipe Special Slider. It would be handy for the content authors if they could jump from the special slider to the individual recipes and thus possibly make changes or publish the recipe.

Uberall consent request

In Release 1.98 the component for displaying the store locator has been successfully implemented. As of now, the locator is working with the Google Maps. However when the locator is displayed with Google Maps, the IP address of the user is sent to Google, which is why consent must be requested.

 

Two scenarios are possible: 

  1.  The user already accepted all cookies when entering the ALDI website
    1. In this case the consent was given beforehand already
  2. The user refused all cookies when entering ALDI website 
    1. In this case, the user will be informed (via a text) that the rejected cookies do not allow the page to be displayed to the full extent
    2. A button which will be displayed under the info text links the user automatically to the cookie banner
    3. Info text and button lable can be defined by the author withing the settings of the Uberall component

In addition some CSS styles which have been missing in the HTML to display the locator correctly, have been added.

Settings of Uberall store locator

There are currently no internal anchor links possible within the Theme Tile component, so the links are currently entered into the component via the absolute path. This has been adjusted so that anchor links can be entered in to the Theme Tiles Component in the usual Link field.

For example /content/aldi/germany/de/web-consumer/angebote/aktion-fr-25-03.html/2022-03-25-10-gekuehlte-produkte.html would be possible to enter into the Link field.

Mail-Query before SFMC Account Overview

Newsletter Account Settings

Until now if a user subscribed to the Newslettter and requested the link to the Newsletter account Page, then the link was provided via Email. After clicking on the provided link, the user got forwarded to the Newsletter Account Page directly where all the subscribers info was displayed. 

For data protection reasons an additional safety query has been integrated. After clicking on the link which should forward the user to the Newsletter Account Page, the user gets asked to enter his email (the one he used to subscribe to the Newsletter). If the address is correct the user lands on the Newsletter Account Page and if the address is not correct then an error message will be shown.

 

All the configurations (for activating, lables and texts) can be configurated in the settings of the Newsletter Account Component in the tab CONTENT. 

Info:

This is only relevant for those markets using the Newsletter Account function.

Add data attributes to Algolia search result tiles

The product tiles on the search results page do not have Data Attributes. As a result, clicks on the tiles for example the "Add To Shopping List" cannot be recorded. Therefore the Data Attributes have been added.

The ALDI logo in the upper left corner of the page header does not have an "alt" attribute. This has been corrected and added.

Activate ipaper URLs in CSP Header for aldi-nord.de

The URL https://magazine.aldi-nord.de/  is included in the CSP header for www.aldi-nord.de. This has happened for other countries in Release 1.99 already.

PL - Remind service connection

After subscribing the remind service and reciving the confirmation link, it is expected that the link leads to the Thank You Page. However the link is forwareded incorrectly which lead to an 404. This has been corrected so that the corrext Thank You opens.

NL - Create a reverse proxypass to Salesforce for newsletter management (Cloudfront Config)

In the release 1.93 the third option of CDC (Customer Data Cloud) have been released for managing the newsletter.

In addition to that the proxy path for connecting the CDC newsletter backend has been (all environments) set up for the Netherlands.

Bugfixes

  • Algolia | Fix prod config for Markets FR and NL -  AlgoliaBatchArticleIndexingServiceImp has been activated for NL and FR
  • Stage Theme - image only shows up in Webservice when link is maintained - If a Theme Stage slide was configured for only APP and images were added, they would not appear in the webservice and thus not in the App either - this have been fixed.
  • Article Overview & Search - Promo pages are not displayed  - When using the article Search in the AEM and filter by Promotion Pages , the current pages would not be displayed - this have been fixed.
  • JobSearch V2 wrong JobType Label behavior (mobile) - After choosing the "full time jobs" filter, the page would display the results but then eventually shows all job offers again - this have been fixed.
  • Error Handling for Article Tile Groups - With the sorting of the unavailable articles to the end of the article groups, it can happen that the entire article group is no longer displayed caused by incorrect content maintenance such as non pblished articles. Therefore from on the Article Tile Group will be still displayed in any case (without the non published article in case the ATG contains one)
  • FAQ + FAQ List - Buttons do not match with new design - Color and height of the FAQ & FAQ List buttons were not correct - this have been fixed.
  • DE - Career Homepage - Header Area not correctly displayed - fixed
