Features and Improvements
Provide Context Sensitive Help based on where help is accessed 📸 (CMSADMIN-881)
To better provide help content appropriate to the immediate needs of the BLOX NXT user, clicking ‘? Help’ in the lower left will take you directly to the help article related to your current BLOX NXT application. Previously clicking ‘? Help’ would unconditionally take you to the BLOX NXT Help Home Page.
Update dashboard related messaging when no data is available 📸 (CMSADMIN-1284)
For clarity, consistency, and transparency the message displayed when no data results are available has been updated from, “An unknown error occurred“ to “No data available” for all dashboard widgets.
Update API used for Address Suggestions (CMSADMIN-1285)
For maintenance purposes, the API doing the address suggestions when entering an address has been updated to the latest version.
Editorial
Allow Bylines to be multi-line (CMSADMIN-1320)
For parity with the BLOX CMS Admin, the Byline Article Content Fields now supports multi-line input.
Include assets within Media Gallery and Additional Content in Article Statistics (CMSADMIN-827)
To avoid confusion, the Image count within the Article Statistics, displayed at the bottom of the Asset Interface, will include all child image assets, including child image assets that haven’t been placed inline that are appearing as part of the article’s Media Gallery. Additionally, the Rich Media count within the Article Statistics will include all child video and audio assets, including child video and audio assets that haven’t been placed inline that appear as part of the article’s Additional Content.
Update Trending Content Rank widget to display additional information 📸 (CMSADMIN-1073)
For clarity, the Trending Content Rank widget on Editorial Asset Dashboard has been updated to provide additional information providing perspective about the given rank (example: “7 of 180 total assets”). Previously only the rank (in our example, “7”) was displayed.
Ensure the Publication Date selection is compatible with dark mode 📸 (CMSADMIN-815)
For consistency, the Publication Date selection in the Publish / Update Dialog has been updated to be compatible with Dark Mode.
Remove support for creating new PDF type assets inline (CMSADMIN-826)
PDF type assets can no longer be created inline directly in articles via the Floating Action Menu or Insert Action Button options of the Rich Text Editor within the Article Content Panel. Existing PDF assets may still be inserted inline via the Asset Library.
Update messaging when channel is setup with invalid credentials 📸 (CMSADMIN-1278)
For clarity, and for parity with the BLOX CMS Admin, the message displayed when a BLOX VMS, WordPress, or YouTube drive type channel is setup with invalid credentials has been updated from, “Failed to add setting: [object Object]“ to “Failed to add setting: Channel creation failed: 401 Authorization failed!“.
Additional Improvements for the Publications Tool (CMSADMIN-1105)
For parity with the BLOX CMS Admin, the Publications tool in the Article Toolkit Panel has been updated as follows.
The ‘Add Publication’ modal displays the first item in each field if no default is set.
The ‘Geometry’ field will reset based on the selection of Location. If Location is set to ‘Anywhere’, all Geometry options will be available.
Publications may be disassociated by way of the three-dot menu.
