Release Notes 1-116

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

New Features and Enhancements

Fix aldi tech-hub GoLive domain name configuration

The domain name for aldi-tech-hub.pl will be changed from www.aldi-techhub.pl to www.aldi-tech-hub.pl.
This is required for the Domain -> Content Mapping in the mod_dispatcher and AEM Resource Resolver.

iPaper - send by email - subheadline field gives back undefined

When user click on "share the iPaper via email", the email client opens with the link to the iPaper in it. 

In the email client the subject line is composed out of headline and sub headline, here it adds an "undefined" into the subject line in case the field "subheadline" was left empty in the iPaper settings.

Therefore the subject line in the email client will be built along following criterias:

  • No no Headline nor Subheadline is set
    • The URL will be used with body prefix
  • Only Headline is set
    • Headline is set subject line in email client
  • Headline and Subheadline are set
    • Both will be added to the subject line
Subject Line composition

General Info:

We are working on a solution for scenario 1 (no headline and no subheadline confirgured). Therefore please make sure so always at least configurate a headline to prevent the URL to be dragged into to subject line. 

Option for manual hreflang setup

In Release 1.114 we introduced the hreflang tag that helps google to indetify pages with their language version via URL instead of via cookie/browser settings. This tag can be activated generally on the country page.

However we added the possibility to manually set the hreflang per page, which overwrites the general setup from the country page.

In the page properties, Tab SEO & Analytics there is a new area for hreflang, where you can either deactivate the hrelang for that particular page or add langugage tags from a dropdown and enter an absolute target URL.

Automatic notification and deactivation for inactive users

AEM user that did not login to PROD for 12+ weeks will get a notification email automatically with the info that the account will be deactivated if no additional login happens within in the next 4 weeks.

A additional reminder mail will be sent out in week 14, and final deactivation in week 16.

Choosing if a page appears or not on the app

An option to choose where a specific page should be displayed was added for a selection of page types. 

In the page properties, tab Basic it can be chosen if the page should be displayed in Web only or both (Web & App). The default is set on both. 

This applies to following page types:

  • Enhanced product page
  • Editorial Page
  • Editorial Overview Page
  • Product Category Page
Page properties with "display in.." option

Allow different sources for the Media Component

Currently the Media Component allows one video or one image to be uploaded. The uploaded media scales up and down with the size of the device it is viewed on, leading to extremely large images or extremely small depending on the viewport. Additionally on mobile devices the image scales down and the text on the image becomes almost impossible to read.

Therefore the Media component has been improved to make it responsive:

  • A standard format (large) has been maintained as a mandatory field
  • In addition to the standard format (large), two other formats (medium and small) can be maintained
    • If one of these two is configurated, it is needed to configurate all three sizes
  • If none if the optional size was configured, then the standart size will be used

 

Sizes in detail:

Small: 0 up to 767 px
Medium: 768 up to 1023 px
Large: from 1024 px

General Info:

This does not apply to videos. The behavior for videos in the Media component will stay as usual.

Performance: Belgium article pages respond slowly

During the last Publisher loadtest we noticed that some BE article pages respond much slower than other pages, it takes about 8-9 seconds to load article pages.

An analysis showed that it is caused by the Product Viewer. When using the ProductViewer, the challenge arises that the page on which the article is actually displayed in the form of an article tile must be found in order to delegate the rendering to this page.

To improve performance, a new search strategy was implemented:

  1. The article number as well  iteration number of the article that should be displayed are known in the URL.
  2. Based on this, suitable ArticleIteration pages are first searched for in the article repository.
  3. Based on the product category defined in the ArticleIteration, tiles-by-category components are searched within the content area of the assortment articles that display articles of the corresponding category.

That way less pages need to be searched through and the rendering time gets improved to approx. 2 seconds.

BE - Issue with consistent URL on inspiration pages

While implementing the consistent URLs for products with the 'product viewer' page, it was noticed that only the article tiles on the inspiration pages still have the old URL.

Therefore we made sure that the URL is always the same, apart from the parameter after the #, no matter in which folder/directory a PDP is stored.

Bugfixes

  • Algolia indeces for Spanish regions are missing in rescue package - A rescue package with all search/recipe indeces has been created in order to prevent the default incides that come up after clonings. The indices for spanish regions have been added to the package.
  • CSV-Import: Change in image definitions not detected - Case: When an article previously imported via the CSV Importer should be updated by a new import again and only the article data in the area of image definitions (e.g. the URL of an image). Then the changes were not detected - this has been fixed.
  • iPaper: menu on left side - Bug of left sided menue on iPaper magazins has been fixed.
  • Recipe Filter - Difficulty icon is still framed after deselect - On android the icon for difficulty was still selected, even when user deselected it - fixed.
  • Contact form does not accept special characters in name or first name (ÄÜÖÑ...) - Fixed, special characters are now allowed and useable on contact form for name or first name.
  • Recipe Filter - Smart app banner covers close icon - If smart app banner is actice on mobile decives (that don't have the app installed) cause a movig of the algolia which then overlaps the close icon of recipe filter - this has been fixed so that the algolia search does not overlap the close button.
  • [HR] Webservice - The webservice Jobstatus did not respond "active" for jobs published via multiposting (eQuest). - this has been fixed.
  • Missing video in video sitemap.xml - There was a small bug that caused many videos maintained directly in the page properties via IntroType and Youtube ID not to be indexed - this has been fixed by making all files referenced in the video sitemap accessible to Googlebot:
    • make URLs accessible without metafiles and without logging in,
    • URLS must not be blocked by firewalls or similar mechanism
    • no disallowance for crawling by robots.txt rules
  • Text&Media - There was a bug for existing and new Text & Media components, that the image was not displayed - this has been fixed and the image gets displayed as expected again.
