Release v1.62 (24/7/2019)

New P4 functionality 🔬

• PLANET-3736 – Create script that creates an actual tag page
  • This functionality was created to serve the editors in 2 circumstances:
    1. to easily migrate from auto-generated #Tag pages to WordPress pages and get rid of technical debt.
    2. whenever a new tag gets created, a new page will be automatically created with the same design of auto-generated tag pages 
  • All details in this post – Automatic creation of pages when saving a #tag.

Community idea! 💡

• PLANET-2101 – Blocks: Allow Editor to control link behaviour
  • Following the popular idea by Alessio, some blocks with link fields now allow editors to determine whether links should be opened in a new tabor not. The impacted Blocks are:
    • Articles (“Read More”)
    • Carousel header
    • Columns

UX Improvement 🌈

• PLANET-3813 – Improve formatting report of blocks usage

EN Donation page fixes 💳

• PLANET-3798 – Donation Forms: Form validations mis-firing

Bug Fixes 🐛

• PLANET-3780 – 3 Column style not accommodating Portrait images when used in Posts
  • When used in Posts, and on all screen sizes, the 3 Column Style of the Gallery Block did not accommodate for images in Portrait layout. All good now!
• PLANET-3801 – Featured Image not scaling to full width
  • Posts appearing in an Articles block with Featured Image in square aspect ratio was not scaling to full width. It does now.

• PLANET-3801 – Meta Description does not take the excerpt
  • The meta description in the head of the html should be picking the excerpt of the post/page and if that is not available, then pick up the tagline. Before this release, it was only picking up the tagline of the website. This was fixed so now, if an excerpt exists, it gets picked up first.
• PLANET-3812 – Logging into password protected pages/posts on multi language sites produces 404 error
  • P4 Pages and posts can be published password protected and then display a password form before showing the content. On multi language sites, when submitting the password in the login form a 404 error page was shown. Not anymore..
