What's new in 2019.08.1

• SYME-43 Add "Toggle HTML Editor" button to all WYSIWYG Editors

THQ Conductors have the ability to edit HTML on any Free Text Areas (or Content areas in the case of Stories & Events).

Sub-Theme Setup

• SK-24 Store page types & properties per Conductor in database
  
  
  
  • Similar to Seed Content, Page Types (Home, Ministry Pages, Landing Pages, Ways to Give, etc) are stored as a blob of JSON data.
  • This data drives how page types are displayed on the root admin page (/admin/) and tells each page type what kinds of properties it can have.
  • By editing this data, the properties on each page type can be altered.
  • The data for each type must be structured as follows:
    
    "name": "about",                        (lower case, non-spaced version of the title)
    "pageType": "about",                 (lower case, non-spaced version of the title)
    "docType": "webpage",              (can only be webpage, news, or events)
    "title": "About Us",
    "plural": "About Us",                  (plural version of the title)
    "singular": "About Us",              (singular version of the title)
    "usePreview": true,                   (whether the property builder shows a preview)
    "icon": "far fa-address-card",    (icon to use on the root admin page)
    "idx": 1,                                     (position on the root admin page)
    "allowHide": true,                      (show the Show/Hide toggle on the root admin page)
    "pageGroup": false,                  (if the pages are grouped or displayed individually on the root admin page)
    "showInNavigation": false,        (whether to show in the admin navigation or not)
    "properties": [ ]                          (list of properties available on the page type)
    
    
  • The data for each property must be structured as follows:
    
    "title": "Theater Space",
    "name": "slides",                        (name of the property – check with Devnext for the name of each property)
    "idx": 0,                                      (position on the page)
    "active": true,                             (whether to use the property or not)
    "allowHide": true                        (allow users to hide the property)

• SK-25 Load front end properties dynamically from Page Types configuration

• SK-26 Load admin nav and admin builders dynamically from Page Types configuration

• SK-27 Add ability to select a Symphony Theme in Conductor

Everyone will be using the Symphony 2016 theme except the USW Kroc Conductor

• SK-81 Add the ability to show/hide all properties

You can set allowHide on any property and it will work.

Hierarchical Page View

• SK-85 Display pages hierarchically in admin

Added Conductor toggles for Allow Local Admins to create and delete and type of page and for Display Pages Hierarchically

The first allows local admins to archive and delete pages from the root admin page, and allows the creation of any type of page:

The second allows local admins to drag and drop pages (and nest them under other pages) on the root admin page. This is simply an organizational change and won't change anything on the front end of the site.

• SK-86 Add ability to add or remove pages from menu

Added a toggle for Allow Local Admins to select which pages appear in the Navigation Menu

This turns on the Show in Menu toggle on the root admin page. 

Issues Addressed in 2019.08.1

• SYMO-62 Stories and Events Issues

There was a bug in QA that was causing Stories and Events index pages to error.
