Release Notes 1-105

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

New Features and Enhancements

Refactor Big Slider

  • no fixed heights, which means that if each slide image has different heights, then the Big Slider will have an inconsistent look and "jumping" of the whole Website while scrolling through the slides

 

  • The Stage Theme is made for the header section of the homepage, however it is possible to add the Stage Theme in content area. If you do so please only use following setup: 
    • option Big Slider with Navigation Style "tabs"
    • option Corporate with Navigation Style "tabs"
    • any other combination causes the arrow buttons to be cut off on the sides

 

  • During the go live of 1.105 all current images that are configured in the Big Slider will remain the same as before
    • please still check after go live if there are any inconsistencies in the slides

 

  • To do: prepare images in the new sizes, since they are needed to be configured after go live 
    • Please be aware that when the display option "web&APP" or "only App" is selected, the dedicated images for APP get mandatory and must be filled immediately once the deployment is done.

 

The new image sizes are listed here and needs to be concidered when creatig images for the Big Slider in the future: 

  • Mobile:
    • min-width: 320px x 180px
      • max-width: 767px x 432px
  • tablet:
    • min-width: 768px x 432px
    • max-width: 1023px x 575px
  • desktop:
    • min-width: 1024px x 333px
    • max-width: 1817 x 590px
  • APP:
    • App Small: 2800px x 2100px (Dimension: 4:3)
    • App Medium: 2800px x 1200px (Dimension: 16:9)

 

Other changings coming with the refactoring:

The Normal Behavior, Responsive Behavior, and Big Slider options have been merged under the Big Slider option and will remain with the following old conditions:

  • The condition to display 2 (min) to 4 (max) articles or content tiles per slide
  • The condotion to maintain headline and sub-headline

Important Information

There are no fixed heights. The height per viewport can be defined by the editor by the graphic, Each size indicates the recommended maximum dimension of the graphic (width x height) in pixel (see max-width).

Therefore it it is highly recommended to use the same height/ dimension for all slides to avoid inconsistencies.

Please prepare the necessary images for the deployment so that no images are beeing cropped.

 Additional way to check if products are published in bulk

Article Overview

Currently it is not possible to check if all the products from a certain category, or day, are published without checking the product pages one by one. Therefore this feature has been added and it is now possible to see the publish status on the Article Overview Page. 

INT - Newsletter unsubscribe

Currently the unsubscribe function of the newsletter is embedded in the unsubscribe form that gives feedback to the backend via Javascript. 

In order to be able to reliably record the unsubscribe (for all markets), it would was necessary to integrate a direct call into the application, which is triggered when a user was successfully unsubscribed from the distribution list.

The direct call happens in the background, which means nothing will be visible on the frontend.

_satellite.track('newsletter unsubscribe')

The link rewriter ensures that links occurring in the markup are rewritten as they are to be presented to the user after rendering the components of a page.

For example that  /content/aldi/germany/de/web-consumer/angebote gets displayed as /angebote after the link rewriting. 

Code wise the link is read from the href attribute and then the Sling Resource Resolving mechnism is used to find the linked resource path. At this point there was a inefficient step in the process of getting the resource path since the used get-method would pass a shortened Path in some cases. 

This has been adjusted and with implementing a different get-method the whole resource path can be indentified and processed by the Link rewriter.

Algolia Tracking Implementation

Algolia offers the possibility to send  so called events for interactions, which are executed following the search. These events make it possible to evaluate the quality of the search results and create the data basis for the Algolia algorithm optimization.

Following two events have been integrated via front-end implementation: 

  • Search Result Page: → Product has been Clicked
  • Search Result Page →  Product has been added to Shopping List 

Publish later in edit mode

Publish later in edit mode

Currently the publish later option is only available in the Page overview. So in case a Page needs to be checked before publishing it would take unneccessary clicking in order to configure the publish late function because the Content Manager needs open the page to give it a last check, then close the page and go back to overview to  set up the publish later function.

Therefore we implemented the publih later funtion into the edit mode of a Page.

CDC: add locale to Newsletter-Subscription Request

For multilingual markets (BE/LU), a further field should be submitted in the request for the newsletter subscription via the CDC. 

The additional field specifies the the country and language of the user, for example "nl_BE".

In the Attribute profile it will look like following: 

profile: {"email":"antest-2022-05-10b@yopmail.com", "locale":"nl_BE"}

Bugfixes

  • SFMC: TeaserTextEscapes is article variant text - The variant text would be displayed for an article even after deactivating the checkbox for variant article in the properties for an article - this has been fixed.
  • Twitter component: Incorrect language on labels -  The lables on the Twitter posting Tiles (for example share label) were not sychronized with each markets language - this has been fixed.
  • Instagram (& Twitter) component - improve error handling for non-existing posting-ID - If postings that have been integrated to Instagram or Twitter, get deleted then the component would throw exeptions which can cause an overall interruption of the posting data updates. Therefore an enhanced data update process have been implemented to prevent a complete abortion of the posting data updates and to improve the error handling.
  • ES - Article Overview and Search not working with Promotion pages - When using the AEM article search with the filter "promotion page" some results were missing and not displayed - this has been fixed
