New Portal features

“Where is published my media?” tab

2 options are offered :

  • a reverse search options, that leverages the Tineye and Google Cloud APIs, and present a unified search result tab.

  • a DXM-based search, which scans the DXM logs to find which pages have been using this media for publishing using DXM urls coming from the content picker, the APIs, or direct links.

...

There is a back-office option for the reverse search also (not the DXM option).

This is enabled via the new PACKAGED_ReverseSearch plugin. Additional structures must be added to benefit from this feature, scroll down to the Added structures section for more information.

Removed structures

Following structures were related to the Labs_Tineye plugin have been removed from the NAR:

...

This mode is called sessionful.

Note

Caution: note that there is a sessionful mode implemented in the WXM_RESTAPI plugin, which is also in session, but with the x-wedia-api-token cookie which is enabled by the sessionFul and allowSessionFul parameters. This is not the mode we are talking about here, which is enabled by the jsessionidcookie This mode is activated by default, with the sessionful plugin parameter.

Cookies

The cookie used to maintain the session is JSESSIONID.

The x-wedia-api-token cookie is not used anymore. The , x-wedia-api-token-so and x-wedia-api-token-tk cookies are maintained.

A new cookie x-wedia-api-token-app is implemented to allow the return to the application connection in case of user disconnection.

Session sharing between Backoffice and Portal

The session (the JSESSIONID cookie) is shared between Portal and Backoffice. This means that logging into one connects to the other. And disconnecting from one, disconnects from the other.
Note that when a user disconnects from Portal as a user, he is automatically reconnected to the "Portal" as an application.

Compatibility

...

Normally, the server handles old cookies that may (especially x-wedia-api-token) interfere with the new system. There may be special unmanaged cases that require cleaning up the cookies in the browser.

Dataview personification

In the concern of giving to our users more flexibility about what they are seeing in the dataview, it’s now possible to show/hide all the i18n field from the dataview. A new button “Translations” is now displayed when i18n fields are present in the dataview. This is totally independant from the security and it’s working on what is already displayed.

...

New analytics entry in the datalist

Changes to be made to the application tokens

Warning

It is imperative to associate an application token to a user. Application tokens with only a role cause an error when launching the Portal and block it. This problem will be corrected in 2021.5, version in which it will not be necessary to have a user associated with the application token.
