Release Notes 1-104

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

New Features and Enhancements

Algolia - Integrate content indice and content tile 

Algolia Content Search

In order to make any content searchable for customers and prospects, the index has been extended accordingly to content.

Therefore, you can find  results to a full-text search on the search results page.

To get an better overview of all suitable results:

  • the teaser image (if possible) of the page is displayed
  • Category of the page / Location in the page structure
  • Title of the page
  • Short description - after 2 lines the text is dotted out
  • The link wording can be overwritten (default if not specified: "More")

Important Information

The Label for "more" can be edited in the properties of the language page in the TAB "Labels" → Section Content Tile

Algolia - Add page types to content index

For the customer, it would be helpful if all content pages are searched in the Algolia Search regardless of which component or area it is, so that the user can find all the relevant information.

Following Page types have been added to the Content index:

  • Form Page
  • Career Homepage
  • Corporate Homepage
  • Editorial Overview Page
  • Consumer Homepage 

Algolia - Change Breadcrumb to Hierarchical facets

From an analysis for the content area, the possibility has been captured to display the breadcrumb in the form of so-called hierarchical facets. 

This allows multiple assignments and hierarchies to be displayed in the individual categories also this pattern is interesting to improve discoverability when there are deeply nested categories. 

For release 1.104 only the backend part has been done.

 Career Page - Adjust interaction elements to Designsystem

Job Search changes

Currently, the design of the interaction elements on the Job Search V2 and the Quick Search Job Module V1 & V2 does not yet correspond to that of the design system. Therefore, we adjusted them to the new design to give an overall unified look.

Following adjustments have been made:

  • The gray background of the form has been removed
  • Labels jumps over the input fields once the user clicks into it 
  • Part-time and full-time checkbox should both be selectable at the same time
  • The slider to adjust working hours appears when the checkbox for part-time jobs is selected
  • Radius: Drop-down options are displayed with radio buttons

Embedded Tweets for website

Twitter component

From a communications manager's point of view, it would be helpful to be able to integrate Twitter posts on the website, so that journalists and interested parties can inform themselves about press releases. This also increases the visibility and reach of the ALDI Twitter account.

Therefore, we enabled the funtionality to integrate Tweets.

How set up the Tweets functionality:

  1. Open Country Page Properties and go to TAB Social Media
    1. In the section Twitter you can connect the Twitter Account by entering the Account ID and Acces Token, a display name can be also chosen
  2. Go to the Page where you want to integrate Tweets and integrate the new Twitter Component
  3. Open the settings of the Twitter Component and 
    1. Choose the Twitter Account from dropdown (if only one Account was configuratet in Country Page, then only one will be available in the dropdown later)
    2. Activate or deactivate checkbox for including Retweets
  4.  Choose an option for the Tweet selection
    1. Option "Selected Tweets" - here a dropdown will be enabled where you can you choose the Tweets
    2. Option "Last X Days" - a field will be displayed where you can enter a digit which represents the amount of days
    3.   Oprion "Latest X Tweets" - a field will be displayed where you can enter a digit which represents the amount of the latest Tweets
  5. The language of the labels in the tweets ("Likes", "Retweets", "Reply", etc.) is automatically that of the respective market (German labels for DE, French for French-speaking Belgium page, etc.)
  6. Every 30 minuets there will be a check if new posts are available to keep the component up-to-date
  7. Deleted Tweets will not be displayed

The Twitter Component can be used on following Page types: 

  • Consumer Home
  • Corporate Home
  • Real Estate Page
  • Editorial Page
  • Editorial Overview Page
  • Career Homepage
  • Press Release
  • Press Release Overview Page

Consistent URL for PDPs of identical assortment articles

If an article appears several times in the assortment area (e.B. under both "Branded Products" and "Beverages"), then all these article tiles should open the PDP of the article under the same URL, similar to the recipe copy logic.

The new Page Type that has been integrated for this reason is called "product Viewer". There should be exactly one page of this type per market directly below the homepage. On the page you can define which page represents the entry to the assortment area. If nothing is maintained here, it is assumed that the page itself is the landing page. The page type also offers the same possibilities of content maintenance as the editorial page (in case no entry to assortment path has been made or wanted). 

If the page itself is the entry page into the assortment area, it can display the content maintained on the page. Otherwise, it does not display its own content, but redirects it to the assortment entry page.

How it works:

If a page is accessed with a URL suffix that identifies an article, a page that displays the corresponding article tile is searched below the assortment landing page and then the detailed view gets rendered and displayed.

When generating URLs for article detail pages, a distinction will be made in the future as to whether the referencing tile appears in the offers or in the assortment. If it is assortment, it links to the new product viewer page and additionally attaches a # to the URL, which contains the context information (page path of the page showing the tile).

Configuration steps:

  1. Create a new Page with the type "Product Viewer" only once directly under the Hompage
  2. Give the Page a title (name is up to you)
  3. In the properties/creating process, scroll down and find the field "Entry-page 'Products'" and enter the path for assortment area
  4. Save and publish

Important Information

There should be exactly one page of this type per market directly below the homepage. 

If you need assistance please don't hesitate to contact the support.

Currently the store finder component Uberall sets a canonical link from their site. However no canonical link should be set from our site to prevent to have 2 canonical links in one page (which is bad for SEO strategy).

Therefore, no canonical link is issued if there is a component on the page whose resource type is configured in the PageUrlService to suppress the canonical link at the page level. This can be useful for components that map different states via the URL and therefore want to control the canonical-link tag themselves (for example the Uberall component).

Automatically refresh page after insert

Until now it was always needed to refresh the Page after inserting a react component. 

Therefore the Teclead dialog generator has been extended so that the page automatically reloads without the user having to do this manually.

Bugfixes

  • Fix use of tile-caching-service in authors article-search - When using the article search withi the AEM with the filter "Promorion Page" the results were incorrect and incomplete - this has been fixed.
  • NL - display of bulletpoints on mobile devices - The bulletpoints on mobile devices were not centered - this has been fixed.
