Features

Commerce

Order Splitting

​​​​​​​​​​Used in Conjunction with Supplier Accounts, this objects rule, once configured, splits Commerce Orders automatically by the Catalogue that each Product belongs to. The Channel on the Order is updated to be the channel linked to the same supplier that the catalogue is linked to. The order splitting rule effectively allows the supplier to manage orders for their own specific products.

Experience Building

Integration of ChatGPT to contribute content through Web Content editor

We have enabled the integration with ChatGPT so texts can be generated from the Web Content editor.
There’s a new button on the CKEditor (web content editor) that triggers a modal where users can write a prompt (instructions for the bot) and add additional parameters such as tone and length.

https://liferay.atlassian.net/browse/LPS-179483​​​​​​​

Mapping and triggering standalone Object Actions from page builder

Now the users can build forms and content pages configuring them to trigger stand-alone Actions with a click from the content page UI through the Page Builder.

We have added a new type of mapping that is available for Editable type Action, you can see for example in a button fragment general options. To provide this out-of-the-box, we have evolved the Button Fragment to contain a configuration to switch between a link button and an actions button.

https://liferay.atlassian.net/browse/LPS-169992

Configure which custom fragments are automatically mapped in Form Container

Now it’s faster to implement experiences that rely on forms to interact with a business process, specifically in scenarios in which our customers decide to create their own custom form fragments according to their own look&feel or behavior.  

We have added a configuration for the user to decide which form fragments will be automatically mapped to each Object field type, when a form container is mapped to an object.

​​​​​​​

With this new feature Instance Administrator can export audit data filtered by user or filtered by site as well and they also can store site data for audit events.

Headless

Allow to set or update data on related Objects

This feature allows developers to create or update an object and its related elements in a single request, optimizing the requests performed to the server, thus improving the overall performance of your solution.

Provided the necessary data for the related elements (ExternalReferenceCode, Id, etc), if the element already exist, it will relate the two objects, if the related element does not exist, it will create the object and it will relate them.

It is also possible to remove related elements by just updating the parent without the elements that are not related anymore.

https://liferay.atlassian.net/browse/LPS-153117

Staging

Deprecate the Staging relationship modules

These modules are old ones and aren't used so we want to deprecate and later remove them.

https://liferay.atlassian.net/browse/LPS-179477

Warn Site and Site template Administrators about Friendly URL collisions

We display some additional messages to Site and Site template Administrators when there is a Friendly URL collision between Site page and Site template page.

Platform Experience and Design System (PEDS)

Accessibility Menu to allow users to customize their accessible admin experience
​​​​​​​

In order to make it easier for users to configure certain accessibility properties to their liking or needs, we have created our Accessibility Menu.

The Accessibility Menu allows each user to customize certain accessibility settings in a specific way, so that DXP has a custom accessibility setup based on the needs of that user.
