Admin improvements 🦸♀️🦸♂️
- PLANET-1068 – Help button in admin that leads to the Handbook

- PLANET-3184 – EN Form Block: allow markup / HTML in description (Idea!)
- Web editors are now able to insert links in the description of the Block (Engaging Networks) Form, to either redirect to a page for more info or insert a mailto: link. A small fix was introduced and now description fields allow HTML markup
- For example <a href=”YOURLINK“>your text</a>

- PLANET-3266 – Switch to ElasticSearch
- The search engine has now been switched to Elastic Search, an open-source engine providing scalable search, has near real-time search, and supports multi-tenancy. Elastic Search allows P4 to incorporate 3rd parties crawls, and will be super useful in the future, for instance to include Archived P3 sites in the search results.

Design and UX Improvements 🎩
- PLANET-3210 – Add animations to new Carousel Header design
- Animations were added to the new Carousel Header design.
- PLANET-3236 – Add dataLayer event to Cookies Bar
- The dataLayer event is being fired when the user clicks on the Cookies Bar button. This has been fixed in order to allow the following:
- for users, it allows navigation on the website without giving consent to Remarketing Cookies
- for data analyst, it allows tracking when users have accepted and agreed with the Cookies Bar
- for admins, it allows running remarketing tags instantly when user accepts the Cookies Bar – without reloading or visiting other pages
- The dataLayer event is being fired when the user clicks on the Cookies Bar button. This has been fixed in order to allow the following:
- PLANET-3237 – Set a ‘no_track’ cookie if user manually disables all trackings
- This allows the user to change his/her consent on the Cookie Settings or/and to disable all types of trackings (analytics and remarketing).
Bug Fixes 🐛
- PLANET-3239 – Country dropdown menu: Alphabet header obstructed
- On mobile devices, the alphabet headers were obstructed behind the NRO names. e.g. ‘B’ is obstructed by Belgium, ‘C’ is obstructed by Canada, etc. We fixed it and this bug is not happening anymore.
- PLANET-3244 – Oversized button in EN form block
- Indonesia tried adding an EN subscription form using the form block but the button to sign up looks oversized. This has been fixed and the button is not oversized anymore, Also, the text is vertically centered aligned.
- PLANET-3251 – Carousel white space spills down into next block
- The carousel white space was spilling down over the next block. This has been fixed and everything is in place now.
- PLANET-3252 – Secondary buttons have wrong type size
- Buttons from the two columns block for eg were having the wrong type size. The buttons were smaller and in some situations the text was cut. This must have been caused by adjustments in the css somewhere else, but it’s fixed now.
