Feature | Supporting URL-information for categories

21 days ago

As category-linking is one of the hardest things to overcome while setting up your JavaScript-implementation, it would be very useful to have predefined category URL's available to link to category pages without writing extra code. Instead of translating category IDs to URL's on the application side of your store, this functionality now works out of the box. By simply adding category-URL's to your import feed, we do serve these URL's in the response of our Frontend API too, so you can pick them up there.

If you make use of our JS-solutions, we have done it for you already. You just have to enable the functionality in Plugin Studio. If a category has it's own URL it will show up in Category suggestions even if the category suggestion handler function has not been defined and click on this suggestion will redirect to said URL. Once a handler has been set up it takes precedence over custom URLs.

No results page for JavaScript

We added a component and some styling to the 'No Result page' of our JavaScript Search & Merchandising solution. Previously it looked like a failure page, but with this feature enabled it looks a bit more helpful. It is fully configurable and customizable in the sense that you're able to add some custom HTML. This gives opportunities for showing Recommendations on the 'No Result page'. The feature is turned off by default and can be activated by adding some code or preferably by switching the toggle in Plugin Studio.

Other improvements

  • Backend API | We updated the category lookup endpoint to include category key in the response.
  • Backend API | Multiple endpoints for retrieving usages now have a uniform input and response schema.
  • Tweakwise App | Fixed an issue where attribute names were not being trimmed during item creation.
  • Tweakwise App | The instance environment widget is extended with a friendly warning for non-production instances. This is to emphasize the usage of non-production instances on a production shop.
  • Tweakwise App | The UX of the navigation bar is improved a bit. Some slight changes are done on the UX like the active/current menu item that stays active or the behavior of the collapses. The Support menu is moved to the bottom of the page. We removed phased-out module links from the menu (Dynamic search and Menu & Bannering).
  • Tweakwise App | As the identifier of recommendations sometimes is needed for implementing our software, we have made the id property visible in the Featured products and Upselling & cross-selling modules in Tweakwise App. It is now displayed in the list and the detail view. This makes it easier 'to use' in API requests and JS.
  • Plugin Studio | Added the possibility to duplicate product tiles which were create via the editor (via context menu in the list or in the modal while creating a new component).
  • Plugin Studio | The configuration options for the starter in the plugin studio are aligned with the latest options. We removed some fields that are only available for users that are using the JS. We added the parameter field for External Data Components.
  • JS Implementations | We've added a reference to the HTML element to the following events in all JS integrations: twn.add-to-cart, twn.add-to-favorites, twn.product.visible and twn.product.click.
  • JS Implementations | Some small parts of the JS implementation are refactored regarding the Product Tiles
  • JS Implementations | Issue with the Top Filter Dropdown position has been resolved. It now makes sure it is always within the viewport! It is now also possible to show selected filters in combination with filters in top position via a new configuration option filters.selectedFilters (only works if position: 'top').
  • JS Implementations | When doing your own initialization of the JS plugin via tweakwiseListerPage() the page is now fetched based on the filters set in the URL.
  • Suggestions JS | Suggestions had an issue with the Gateway-failover. Although suggestions were fetched, products were not. This has been resolved.
  • Suggestions JS | A new experimental feature was made available for suggestions.js, allowing shops to enable typing animation in the input element that's been set up with Tweakwise Suggestions. It comes with a bunch configuration settings.
