Status: Released
Release date: 13 September 2021

New Features

TASK 686 - SEO keyword and metadata search properties

Added a new tab, SEO, with two new properties on standard content pages to assist with page search. The properties are named, ‘SEO Metadata’ and ‘SEO Keywords’. The ‘Pages’ search in the top menu now also searches the contents of these two news fields.

User guide page: Page settings > SEO

Backoffice location: Content > Home > *chosen guidelines page* [node] > SEO [tab] > ‘SEO Metadata’ or ‘SEO Keywords’ [property]
 

TASK 665 - Anchors and routing on ‘Redirect page’ property

On the following template pages, there was a ‘Redirect page’ property in the ‘Properties’ tab but it only allowed linking to a page within the CMS:

It is now also possible to link to ‘anchors’ and ‘external pages’, as well as the new ‘Routing’ tab/page which allows for a number of different redirect and routing scenarios, such as:

Each of the properties above in the ‘Routing’ tab of a standard guidelines page is well documented alongside each property.

User guide page: Page settings > Routing

Backoffice location: Content > Home > *chosen guidelines page* ^ [node type] > Routing [tab] > *chosen property* ^^ [property]
 

TASK 691 - Main menu Asset/Photo library L2 item options

In the main navigation menu, under the level 1 ‘Photo library’ item, the level 2 items previously only displayed ‘Categories’. This new feature now gives the customer the choice of displaying either of the following as the level 2 items:

In addition, the navigation also now displays level 3 ‘Sub category’ items, if any exist.

In the main navigation menu, under the level 1 ‘Asset library’ item, the level 2 items previously only displayed ‘File formats’ (e.g. logos, videos, icons, templates etc). This new feature now gives the customer the choice of displaying either of the following as the level 2 items:

Backoffice location:

Content > Home > Photo Library [node] > Navigation [tab] > Display In L2 Menu [property]
Content > Home > Asset Library [node] > Navigation [tab] > Display In L2 Menu [property]
 

TASK 649 - Main top navigation - Hide Home icon

As the logo already acts as a link to the Home page, this addition allows the Home icon to be hidden from the top navigation. Note that no new mechanism was created to facilitate this, as we simply hide the logo via CSS.
 

TASK 679 - Registration page (Email already used warning)

The Registration page submission form now alerts you when you try to register with an email address already existing in the system. New registrants are now alerted with the following message: Email already used warning
 

TASK 690 - Remove login field labels

Remove the login field labels for both the Username and Password fields and restyle widths/strokes accordingly. Note that we decided to hide them via CSS (display: none;). This allows companies/agencies to continue to meet WCAG 2.0 compatibility by displaying the labels.
 

TASK 671 - Possible ‘Brand’ dropdown Photo library

Create a ‘Brand’ dropdown property in the Photo library so images can be branded (sub-branded). Branding of assets already exists in the Asset library. This new feature now aligns the two libraries.

Backoffice location: Media > Image library [node] > [*Photo Library Image*] > Properties [tab] > Brand [property]
 

TASK 693 - Add 'Brand' to batch upload/editing dialog

We recently added a new ‘Brand’ metatag and filtering property in the Photo library (see Task 671 above). This task adds the new ‘Choose Brand’ dropdown property to the Photo library batch uploader/batch editor.

Backoffice location: Media > Image library [node] > [*Photo Library Image*] > Properties [tab] > Brand [property]
