The following release notes cover recent changes from the past 14 days and provide an outlook for the upcoming release.
✨Focus topics of this release
The following milestones were achieved:
| New Stuff | |
|---|---|
| Commerce | Introduce displaying custom text and custom URL for call-to-action buttons in the product grid for products |
In order to expand the possibilities of utilizing the commerce products portfolio, we are now introducing an option to display custom text in the Product Grid and also a custom URL instead of the usual checkout process for self-service products. |
| Improvements | |
| Do not show quantities for subscriptions in self service checkout | We are constantly trying to improve the user experience of our end users and we have taken a retrospective look at how we show subscription products in the self-service checkout cart. Subscription products no longer show any quantity, since there is always only one subscription purchased (with a certain duration). |
| Blog design improvements | Some time ago we have introduced the Blog module. We are constantly trying improving the module based on feedback. We improved the tidiness and contrast of some elements in order to improve the user experience. |
| Landing Page | Spaces are not taken over |
When landing page content was being created, more than one line break between texts was not allowed. We have now made this more flexible and line breaks are now taken into account: |
| Bug Fixes | |
| Importer | issues with job updates | We faced major issues with importer feeds during the latest weeks such as importer jobs being unpublished without any proper reason. Fortunately we managed to find all the issues and address them properly in Hotfix releases. |
| Geo taxonomies are in German while the site is in English |
We faced an issue on multilingual sites, where instances of mixed up taxonomies were happening (German taxonomy on English site). The problem has been tackled and taxonomies now behave according to the selected language of the user. |
| Skills search filter doesn't show results from sub-categories |
When a user was searching for a job, the skills search filter did not show any results for potential sub-categories of the taxonomy. This is now working and sub-categories are now included in the search results. |

| Improvement | Blog design improvements | Some time ago we have introduced the Blog module. We are constantly trying improving the module based on feedback. We improved the tidiness and contrast of some elements in order to improve the user experience. |
| Improvement | Organisation Profile | Remove "Subscriptions (Basic/Premium)" and "Promoted on front page" from company in Admin Backend | Our team is always trying to look at our work retrospectively and tidy up after any changes made to the product. Thus we have removed unnecessary fields in the backend for the Organization profile: "Subscriptions (Basic/Premium)" and "Promoted on front page". |
| Improvement | Add loading indicator to the organization gallery | In order to improve end user experience, we introduced a loading indicator in the organization gallery, when a user is uploading new files, so the site feels more alive and the user understands something is happening. |
| Improvement | Block should be removed/edited when there was no order created | When users were utilizing the self-service checkout and didn't have to pay at the end because the price was 0, we did not have a meaningful message for them. We have now changed this and introduced a proper wording: |
| Improvement | Landing Page | Spaces are not taken over |
When landing page content was being created, more than one line break between texts was not allowed. We have now made this more flexible and line breaks are now taken into account: |
| Improvement | All action columns should have the same button |
In order to unify the design and user experience, we have adjusted how certain buttons look on the recruiter dashboard. |
| Bug Fix | Recruiter dashboard | Application with applicant name "null null" displayed for parent company if application was for child company job; export of all applications leads to error for parent |
If a Parent/Child organization setup was utilized on a site, there was a special case, when job applications contained wrong applicant names shown to the Parent organization, if the job application was created for the child organization. This is now fixed and working properly. |
| Bug Fix | Filters should have the same outline | We fixed a design issue, where one filter field had a different visual outline than the others. |
| Bug Fix | Job Application Form | Improper translations | When applicants were applying for jobs, we did not have a proper error message wording, when there was no correct email address used. We have now fixed this and the new error message states: "Please provide a valid email address". |
| Bug Fix | Blog | Cover image not shown on iPhone XR aspect ratio |
There was an issue with blog cover images not being shown in certain aspect ratios properly. Issue is now fixed and cover images are displayed on all aspect ratios as intended. |
| Bug Fix | Geo taxonomies are in German while the site is in English |
We faced an issue on multilingual sites, where instances of mixed up taxonomies were happening (German taxonomy on English site). The problem has been tackled and taxonomies now behave according to the selected language of the user. |
| Bug Fix | Site changes language after login |
When a user would login to a multilingual site, it would not remember what language was selected before the login and it would always switch to the site default, which is not correct behavior. The language now always stays the same even after the user logs in. |
| Bug Fix | Hero - split with screen element is overlapping on the My CV page |
There was an error in alignment of some visual elements on the My CV page for applicants. Visuals are now aligned properly. |
| Bug Fix | XML Export | issues with automatic export |
The team had to investigate an issue with wrong dates in automatically exported XML jobs. The problem was identified and deployed as a Hotfix during the sprint. |
| Bug Fix | Tables broken | Some time ago we introduced adding tables on landing pages and in blog articles. The tables had to be optimized in certain visual aspects so we have taken a look and improved how it scales based on the content and page width. |
| Bug Fix | CV hidden/visible toggle button doesn't work properly |
Applicants CV hidden/visible toggle button was not clickable in certain parts of the element. This is now fixed and the whole button element is properly clickable. |
| Bug Fix | Blog site shows no results when user click on the same category button twice |
An issue was found on the blog, where the site would show no results when the user would click again on the same category that was already selected. The problem is now fixed. |
| Bug Fix | Can't open other further locations | When a user was browsing a job posting that contained multiple locations on the world map and went into full-screen mode into the world map, it was not possible to select any secondary location (only the primary one). This has now been properly fixed. |
| Bug Fix | Company Profile | image in gallery cut off on mobile |
A problem was found in the company profile gallery viewer on mobiles, where images were not being displayed properly. The issue is now fixed and the gallery is working as intended on mobiles again. |
| Bug Fix | Job application email is not nicely structured | There was a misalignment of the visual content in the job application emails. The content is now tidied up properly. |
| Bug Fix | Skills search filter doesn't show results from sub-categories |
When a user was searching for a job, the skills search filter did not show any results for potential sub-categories of the taxonomy. This is now working and sub-categories are now included in the search results. |
| Bug Fix | Landing pages | Automatically open all external links in a new tab is broken | Landing pages have a functionality that all external links can be open in external tab. This was broken and is now fixed. |
| Bug Fix | User Initials are wrong |
There was a problem with generated user initials in the "profile image". The initials are now correctly displayed based on the full name of the user. |
| Bug Fix | Organization teaser | background color is not working |
We have a new landing page element "Organization Profile". When we use this landing page element, we can define the title, subtitle, organization, and row background color. If the row background color and background color were defined, they were not applied. This is now fixed. |
| Bug Fix | Importer | issues with job updates | We faced major issues with importer feeds during the latest weeks such as importer jobs being unpublished without any proper reason. Fortunately we managed to find all the issues and address them properly in Hotfix releases. |
| Bug Fix | Notifications are not completely visible on mobile view |
Notification pop-ups were not properly showing on mobile since they were partly hidden behind the bottom menu. This is now fixed. |
| Bug Fix | The edit icon should be placed somewhere else when there's a lot of data | When a lot of data was present in the applicants My CV page, the edit icons for certain parts of the resume were overlapping with the content itself. This is now adjusted and aligned properly with the content. |
