Info

Please note that the old Lucene indexer is no longer supported, please use the ElasticSearch search.

Note

The ElasticSearch support for versions prior to 6.8 has been dropped.

User interface changes

The filters will now remove terms with 0 occurrences (except tree filters)

...

The suggest bar is a bit longer, and the select colour is lighter :

Info

Please note that we now strongly advise to tag the properties you want to be part of the suggester with the tag “autosuggest”.

...

The portal will now display the version number :

...

If you prefer not to display the version number, you may use the

Code Block
src/wedia-plugin-template/res/_portal/menu/hide-server-version.json

config entry point.

The facets will now be honoured on the asset view, and profile view in the portal.

Security Rules changes

First, and foremost, new Security Domains and Actions can now be included into plugins by adding a file names “security.xml” in config directory : this is a sample of such file:

...

boards/makePublicBoard : this domain and action allows for authorizing the connected user to create or not public boards.

Portal Setup changes

Setting up eTags on REST Resources

When the Portal ask for REST resources, such has a list of keywords, or folders, in order to populate filters, it is very likely this list has not changed since the last call.

...

Please read the full documentation for understanding how to set everything up.

...

DXM

Automatic file format switching :

If you do not provide an explicit file format in the variation, Wedia will return the most adapted format, depending on the browser (most likely it will be webp) :

...

Info

The automatic switching is now done on the Akamai property level, so there is some parameters that need to be set up by eSaas in order to have it working.

Selecting the best trade-off between performance and quality :

When you are cropping on the content picker, you must start with a specific variation that will serve as the basis for your crop result :

...

So it’s up to you to understand your client needs, and set up the best option for the “starting point” variation : this is available in the WXM_VARIATION_API plugin setup, in that option :

...

New analytics

We are creating a new version of the back-office analytics screens. The old version will continue to work for a long time, but this new version will be in some point in the future the default version for the clients.

...

To activate the new Analytics, you must activate the plugin “WXM_ANALYTICS_V2“ and create a new back office menu that will point to : wcm.jspz?form_action=stats

PACKAGED_DAM_Utils default configuration

The plugin default configuration has changed in order to automatically publish items created from portal in corresponding funds:

Code Block
    {
      "objectSelector": "#damobject",
      "preventGuard": {
        "classAlias": "negate",
        input: {
          "preset": "canPublish"
        }
      },
      "workflowTrigger": [
        "publish"
      ]
    },

This configuration change relies on new available transformers (see Metadata and AI extraction with DAM_Utils) and new preset:

Code Block
{
  "key": "canPublish",
  "classAlias": "every",
  "input": [
    {
      "preset": "preventExecutionFromMassImport"
    },
    {
      "classAlias": "isAllowed",
      "init": {
        "action": "changestatus",
        "params": {
          "newstatus": "6"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
