Release Notes 1-102

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

New Features and Enhancements

ES - Extend Algolia-Search for Regionalization 

The Algolia search does not yet support the regionalization of articles and recipes used in Spain. To close this gap the Aloglia Search will be extended for the regions in Spain.

So if a user is on an ALDI website with regionalization, the user gets Algolia search results that match their chosen region. The displayed articles shows the article data (e.B price) matching the selected region.

Furthermore only items that are available in the region will be displayed, it is also taken into account that in regions with their own content, the recipes may also differ. 

ES Webservice - Adjustment to articles-endpoint regarding regionalization and Article IDs

Until now the article IDs, which can be used to check article details from the corresponding endpoint, do not contain a region identifier. Therefore, it may happen that for an article ID´s different data are returned.

To enhace the region differentiation for artciles, it has been decided that at all points where the web service outputs Article IDs, they are played out "regionalized". So the region with which the call was made is adopted.

Example: The promotion endpoint is called with the region selector "reg-cat". Then all issued item IDs must contain the region identifier "cat".

Optimization of Web Accessibility

We want to make the website as barrier-free as possible, therefore some parts of the website will have some adjustments:

 

  • Navigation:
    • Burgermenü-Icon will have a abel for the Screenreader
    • The existing label "Menu/Navigation" (language-dependent) will be used for this purpose
  • Newsletter Footer
    • The input field for the newsletter registration in the footer has a label for screen readers
    • Label: E-mail address -  The label corresponds to the content of the placeholder in the input field so that the screen reader also reads it 
  • Big Slider / Stage Theme
    • Navigation Arrows (back and forward)

Important Information

In Language Page Properties -> TAB Labels -> section "Navigation" the labels for back and forward arrow can be edited.

New Page-Type recipe-copy

Recipe Copy Page

For the editor, it would be practical if recipes only have to be created once and can still be used several times,
so that duplicates are avoided. Furthermore, a recipe that can be found under several categories should always be opened under the same URL.

 

How this funcionality works:

  1. Decide that Recipe X is a master recipe page which has an absolute and unique URL
  2. If you want to integrate Recipe X into another page then instead of copying the whole page, create a new page with the new type "Recipe-Copy"
  3. One Recipe-Copy Page only a reference to the master recipe page can be set

All copies of the recipe would then be called up at a URL (the master recipe URL) that reflects the "most important" recipe category, for example /recipes/main-course

CSV-Article-Importer: Reduce Memory Consumption

The article CSV importer writes the articles in the CSV back to the content repository only if the data differs between CSV and content repository. For this comparison, the importer loads all content into memory under /content/aldi<country>//promotions/source-pim. 

This could will be optimized, since the CSV data is already checked in at the code point in question. This makes it clear which "promotions" are needed. Therefore it is enough to specifically load these promotions and save memory space that way

Add data attributes to print and send by mail on recipes pages

Email icon on recipe page

It has been noticed that there was no data-attribute output for the e-mail icon/link within the recipe detail page. 

This has been adjusted and the data attributes to the "Send by Mail" Button in the top right corner of recipes pages has been added.

Forms: Data protection error field is mandatory

Content Settings on Forms

As user it would be important and helpful to get a highlight of the field which has been entered incorrectly, also in the case for data protection checkbox.

Therefore an errore message handling field has been added into the settings of following Forms: 

  • Newsletter Subscription
  • Contact Form
  • Press Contact Form
Error message for data protection hint

Important Information

Please notice that the field error message for data protection hint is mandatory.

Remove Newsletter and Newsletter Wrapper Page

Now that the markets are sending their newsletters out of Salesforce, the Newsletter Wrapper Page and Newsletter Page templates can and will be removed from the CMS. 

Befrehand it was already checked that the pages were not in use for a long time within the markets. 

The deletion will be proceed automatically via script.

Prominent Job Search Settings

From a job seekers point of view it would be effective to have a job search field available directly in a prominent way. The header section will allow me to enter the information about the job the user is looking for. Exactly in the same manner as programmed on the job search page but withouth navigatingto job search page first.

 

How to set up:

  1. Open Career Homepage and notice the prominent Search in the header 
  2. Check and edit the prominent Search via opening the settings and fill in 
    1. Tab settings
    2. Tab Labels
  3. The career subpages will adopt the Job Search lables

The prominent Job Search will be only available career pages andhidden on job search page 

No react components allowed on promotion day page

At the moment it is possible to add react components on the promotion day page. However, these are not displayed on the publisher. Since it was not planned to allow the react components on promotion day pages, they have been removed.

Text Link field in Contact Form Settings

It would be very helpful if a text link can be maintained and displayed on the contact form below each topic,
so that I can refer to different FAQ topics depending on the topic. This allows some questions of the users to be intercepted via the FAQ references and thus create a reduction of contact requests. 

 

How to set up the text link:

  1. Open a form page and go to settings
  2. See that for each topic there is a field called "Hint Text" with a rich text editor
  3. There you can enter a text and add the hperlink
Look of text link on Contact Form

Important Information

Please be aware that:

  • Only one text link can be maintained per topic 
  • The text including link and image is displayed after selecting the topic
  • Applies for Dynamic Contact Form and the Press Contact Form

If you want to display text and the link in two lines (just as in the example) then please use  shift+enter if you use only enter it will create a table.
