New Features and Enhancements

Article Overlay on iPaper Magazin

Until now it was not possible for the user to browse through all gallery images, via the article Overlay in iPaper magazines. 

This aspect has been adjusted to give the user a full insight of the article including the gallery images. The gallery images can be reached with following steps:

  • Open iPaper magazin
  • Click on a price tag of an article to open article overlay
  • Click on more information

→  Product detail page will open up, where all gallery images can be seen and clicked

Approve/publish products in bulk

Currently products must be individually approved and published again when they were modified, through a CSV upload for example. Since this is very time consuming, the process has been optimized and a opportunity to publish products in bulk has been implemented.

How to use: 

  1. Certain configuration needs to be done for each market in the OSGI console first
  2. After enable the function in OSGI, go to AEM article overview and search 
  3. Choose the group of article that have been modified via CSV import and lost approval (e.g. via offer page filter)
  4. Select the articles that have been modified (or select all is also possible) and click on publish

Important Info:

This feature will be available for France with upcoming Deployment of 1.114. 

Any other market that wants to use this feature as well needs to raise a Jira ticket so we can perform the enabling on OSGI console.

Bulk publish via Article Search within the AEM

Remove background color from form page

New look of the Form Page

The Form Pages had the possibility to activate or deactive the background color.

This option has been removed and the Form Pages will be only transparent from now on.

This applies to:

  • Uberall
  • Contact Form
  • Newsletter
  • Newsletter Account
  • Newsletter Unsubscribe
  • Reminder Unsubscribe
  • Newsletter Feedback

Add possibility for fourth meta navigation item

Fourth Meta Nac point here as "Placeholder"

Until now the limit for links in the meta navigation was set to three. We have now implemented the possibility to add a fourth one. 

The USP component has been therefore adjusted in the width to it does not collide with the meta navigation links. If the text of the USP reached the width limit the rest will be dotte out.

Same goes for BE and LU with the multilanguage option in the meta navigation - the USP component has been adjusted so it doesn´t collide with the language switch.

To enable the fourth meta nav point, following steps needs to be done:

  • Go to the meta template and open the properties
  • Go to tab settings
  • Set the "Max Nav. Points" to 4

Implement unambiguous signals for language versions

Checkbox that need to be active on country page

From an SEO perspective, it would be helpful if multilingual content is prepared in the best possible way for the search engine and reaches the right target group in the right market.

For example: if you are looking for something in french from Belgium page, you should also see the belgian ALDI page and not the one from Luxembourg and vice versa. Same with Dutch-language content within the Dutch and Belgian markets. This does not even have to be duplicate content, but simply a product like "Coca Cola", where Google could then play Luxembourg as a relevant hit.

The usage of the value hreflong helps  google for example for indetify page with their language version via URl instead of via cookie/browser settings. Therefore we added the elements to the Page's header

link rel="alternate" hreflang="long_code"... This informs Google about all language/region versions of a page.

To make use of this feature, please open Country page and check tab "COUNTRY SETTINGS" and activate the two new checkboxes (see screenshot).

Add Footnotes on iPaper Template

Info: this has been implemented already in Release 1.113

Footnotes have been added into the iPaper template and will be visible after Prod Deployment. 

FR-Masterchef Redirect

Info: this has been implemented already in Release 1.113

Wildcard redirect was applied for France and will be active after Prod Deployment. 

Anything that starts with https://www.aldi.fr/recettes/masterchef* will be redirected to https://www.aldi.fr/recettes.html

ES - Redirects uberall

Bugfixes

  • Algolia - Label not translated - The Algolia labels for the suggest layer (with or without input) have been adjusted and are now showing up correctly.
    Furthermore there was one lable that was not translated correctly in the AEM dialog:
    react-apps.component.searchReact.labels.suggest → is now Label Error suggestions
  • PL - Algolia Search box not visible on offerpage on mobile - The issue has been fixed and the search box should be visible on the PL mobile offer page. In the past the Searchbox Mobile was not displayed if there were no USP's implemented in the meta navigation.
Label adjustment on recipe filter
  • Recipe Filter - label not correctly aligned + label missing

Two labels have been adjusted for the recipe filter:

Label "Results from: Recipe" was not placed correctly (above filters instead above the results) - fixed

Missing label above Filter called "sorting" had been adjusted

  • Recipe Filter - When maintaining labels at once an error message is displayed - When maintaining all new labels for Recipe Filter in one go and then click on "Save", it would cause an error message and the labels would not get saved - this has been fixed.
  • Recipe Filter - BE - Size of Filter Bar changes when filter is activated - In Belgium when clicking on "Recepten"and the activate and deactivate on Menu Type "Feestelijk" the size of the filter panel would change - this has been fixed.
  • Translate the label "Relevanteste"  - Most markets reported it after Deployment of 1.113. This has been fixed, so that label that has been configurated in the field "most relevant" in the AEM will be now also displayed in the recipe filter.
  • Recipe filter - Categories not displayed - Until now the categories were empty - although maintained in page properties and visible in index - this has been fixed.
  • ES: Ipaper article detail overlay doesn't open - The ipaper article detail overlay did not open - this has been fixed.

Addotional Bugfixes from 1.113

  • JobOffersUrl with invalid JobID does not redirect to 404 page - All affected JobOffersUrl with invalid JobID are now redirecting properly to the jobdetail-error-page. If a job offer ID is invalid or empty, then the redirect to the error page should be executed. Make sure to have the checkbox (see screenshot) is activated in the properties of language page, in the tab "labels".
  • Timer dashboard unavailable - A failure of the AEM author due to multiple invocation of the timer dashboard is now prevented, an error message is displayed as soon as the cpu loadlevel reaches the status red.
  • Algolia Tracking broken - The user tokens on Algolia insights dashboard are now transferred correctly. The transfer of the queryID has been fixed.
    At the same time, it was noticed that the conversion events (click on Shoppinglist in the SearchResultPage) were no longer fired. This has also been fixed.
