  • v41.9.38: chore: improve param naming
  • v41.9.37: fix(hugo-drag-and-drop): Map huGO text fields to image directives

https://tracking.nzzmg.ch/browse/WCMS-4962

This will allow multiple hugoPicture text fields to be imported into dropped images.

The mapping of which hugoPicture field is mapped to which image component directive is done via a server configuration that looks like this:

  hugo: {
    resource: {
      images: {
        directiveMappings: [
          {
            directiveName: 'caption',
            hugoFields: [
              {
                name: 'caption'
              }
            ]
          },
          {
            directiveName: 'author',
            hugoFields: [
              {
                name: 'author',
                options: {
                  shouldRemoveReference: true,
                  isStartCase: true
                }
              },
              {
                name: 'source'
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }

If this mapping is not configured a simple caption -> caption mapping is assumed (as is the previous behavior).

If multiple hugo fields are mapped to a single image directive the texts of all the fields are concatenated (comma-separated).

The mapping config introduces the following formatting options for the imported hugo text:

isStartCase: text will be converted to initial caps, e.g. JOHN RONALD REUEL TOLKIEN -> John Ronald Reuel Tolkien frodo baggins -> Frodo Baggins

shouldRemoveReference: will remove the substring via [some entity] which is often added to the author name, e.g. John Rambo via www.aaargh.com -> John Rambo

Highlights

Categories 🎁

The categories feature allows to organise routing information and category related metadata such as ad campaigns, analytics, etc. We provide a Monaco Editor instance in the Project Setup to edit the categories information as a JSON. In addition there are new metadata plugins to enable the categories on content-types as well as a one-click setup that sets up all metadata for pages and articles in one go.

For use in the frontend projects we provide new public API endpoints:

  • ➕ /routing/resolve to resolve a given path to a document id
  • ➕ /categories to get all categories
  • ➕ /categories/:id to get a specific category Detailed documentation on the new public API endpoints is in the public API documentation <your-editor-host>/public-api.

Reindex Documents via Operation Screen 🎁

Reindexing will often be used when one wants to have updated metadatadata and design for deliveries. A server administrator can now reindex documents via the Operations panel (Server Administration -> Operations) in the editor. The reindexing mechanism is the same as via the livingdocs-server CLI.

Teaser Preview 🎁

The Teaser Preview adds an additional read-only view to the publication section of the Livingdocs Editor. It is by default disabled and can only be enabled and configured in a content type config. Examples and more details how to set up a teaser preview, can be found in the documentation

doc-include Enhancements 🎁

doc-include have been enhanced.

  • ➕ Pass dependencies (css/js) to a doc-include
  • ➕ New onIncludeRendered hook

You can find the updated doc-include in the documentation. There is also a guide in our documentation on how to set up a Twitter include which uses the new options of doc-includes.

https and api proxy support

The editor has experienced some small but useful improvements

  • ➕ Support ssl certificates for localhost and therefore https/http2
  • ➕ Introduce a proxy for API requests to prevent CORS requests
  • ➕ Serving assets using a cdn url

You can find a more detailled description in the editor PR.

Editor Menu: New Config Options

It’s now necessary to configure a docment search filter for a Menu. The search filter will be applied when you try to link a document to a menu entry.

Needed Actions 🔥

If you want to keep the previous behavior, you’ll have to add this filter to the Livingdocs Editor config.

Example

// all.js
filters: {
  menuList: {
    displayFilters: [],
    defaultQueries: [
      {type: 'documentType', value: 'page'},
      {type: 'documentState', value: 'published'},
      {type: 'sortBy', value: 'relevance'}
    ],
    emptySearchQueries: [
      {type: 'documentType', value: 'page'},
      {type: 'documentState', value: 'published'},
      {type: 'sortBy', value: '-updated_at'}
    ]
  }
}

Design Versions

Changes

The channel properties available_versions and disabled_versions are no longer checked on

  • document create
  • document update
  • document publish

References:

Auto update component with doc-html directive 🔥

Changes

The html of a component with a doc-html directive will be applied and rendered automatically to a document in the Editor. The Previous behaviour needed a confirmation to apply html content to a document.

References:

Includes Feature 🔥

Includes API resolveInclude + resolveRawInclude returns now an object instead of a HTML string.

Example

// Before
//   -> returns a HTML string
const includesApi = server.features.api('li-includes')
includesApi.resolveInclude({
  serviceName: 'old-resolve'
}, function (err, html) {
  expect(html).to.be.a.('string')
})

// After
//   -> returns an object
const includesApi = server.features.api('li-includes')
includesApi.resolveInclude({
  serviceName: 'new-resolve'
}, function (err, include) {
  expect(include.html).to.be.a.('string')
})

Prototypes

IMatrics for NLP (Natural Language Processing) analysis

We integrated IMatrics as a prototype:

  • Integrated IMatrics in the Livingdocs Editor for NLP analysis of text.
  • Allow users to configure IMatrics with a project through the channel config (plugin).
  • Allow users to run analysis on text as well as showing a PoC of related articles.
