TOT-4124 - Shopping List Product Quick Add Form content managed web page area

On a content managed web page there is now the ability to allow users to find and add a product to the shopping list, similar to the Basket Product Quick Add Form area. The area is called "Shopping List Product Quick Add Form" and allows users to use a auto-complete search to find a product, matching on a selected product field. Once a product has been selected then its details are able to show, allowing a quantity to be set for the shopping list, then have the ability to add the product to basket. The area supports allowing products to be automatically added to shopping list if a single product is found within the autocomplete and the checkbox option is selected to allow product to be automatically added, such as if using a barcode scanner.

TOT-4017 - Send emarketing emails to users for favourite products that become back in stock

For users logged into content managed websites, there is now the ability for them to elect to receive email notifications, and be informed when products are back in stock that are within their favourites list. This may lead to increased sales since users can then receive the email notification and proceed back to the content managed website to purchase the products that are available again.

Within the Administration Centre, under the Inventory menu, within the Product Editor interface, an additional product field has been added labelled "Stock Available Since Date". The field stores the date that the product become back in stock again, based on a product's stock quantity being set greater than the Stock None level. The date field can be set if a product is a local product, otherwise it will be disabled.

Within the Data menu, within the Data Imports interface, under the Connector Imports tab, when a Products Connector data import is run, it will set the Stock Available Since Date, based on checking if the product's previous stock quantity is less than or equal to a product's Stock None level, and its new stock quantity is greater than the Stock None level. When this occurs the Stock Available Since Date will be set to the current date time. If a product's stock quantity was greater than the Stock None level but is now less than the Stock None level, then the Stock Available Since Date will be cleared. Alternatively the Stock Available Since Date field can be explicitly set with the product data received from the Connector software itself. Within the Text File Imports tab, the Products text file import can also have the Stock Available Since Date within the CSV file data. The field needs to have a date set in either the date formats dd/mm/yy or dd/mm/yyyy, or else be set empty for the Stock Available Since Date field to be cleared for a product. Within the inventory menu, under the Product Search interface, once a product is found, if the Export button is pressed then within the Export Products dialog there is now the ability to select the Stock Available Since Date product field, and include the date field.

Within the Administration Centre, under the Marketing menu, within the Marketing Settings interface, a setting has been added that's labelled "Product Back In Stock Notification Subscription Category". This can be set to one of the User Subscription Categories, that controls the subscription category that users can subscribe to if they wish to receive emarketing emails containing product-back-in-stock information.

Within the Users menu, in the Search Users administration centre interface, in the Advance Search, when the Search Category is set to Marketing, a new search rule has been added labelled "Select active users assigned to subscription category name equal to %value1% with favourite products back in stock in last %value2% hours". This rule can find users who are active, are assigned to a subscription category with the specified name, and contain products in their favourites list that have the Stock Available Since Date product field with a date that exists within a specified number of hours from the current date.

In the Marketing menu, within the Emedia Messaging interface, for an Emedia Email, within the Set Users dialog a User Group can be set up that uses this new user search rule to assign users to receive emarketing emails. This in effect allows users to receive emedia emails when they have favourite products that are back in stock within certain number of hours, and the users are assigned to the user subscription category that indicates that they wish to receive these kind of back-in-stock email notifications.

Within the Emedia Messaging interface for the Emedia item, within the Configure Email Message dialog, when the Send Email As setting is set to Rich Text or Both, then upon clicking on the Modify Web Page button, in the Web Page Editor, adding a new area to the page, in the New Webpage Area dialog, there's now the ability to select Search area type, then the new area type "Email Product Search Listing". This area can display a list of products only in Email based content managed web pages that are embedded within Emedia Emails. The area can have the following settings configured:

 
• Display In Area: If set to Favourite Product Stock Available Again, then the area will display a list of products that is with the user's favourites list that they have permission to view based on their assigned inventory role, and has a Stock Available Since Date that is later than the current date minus the hours set in the Stock Available Since Hours setting.

 
• Stock Available Since Hours: set the amount of hours that products containing a Stock Available Since Date must be within from the current date.

 
• Product Records Displayed: Controls the maximum number of product records that can display within the area. The maximum is 50 records, to ensure that the emails that the area embedded into can be generated fast.

 
• Sort Products By: Controls how the product records listed in the area are sorted by.

 
• Sort Products Direction: Controls the direction that product records listed in the area sorted by.

 
• Product Detail Webpage: Controls the content managed web page that is set within the URL for each product record listed in the area, that takes a user to view the details of the product.

The Email Product Search Listing content managed web page area can have the following formats set:

 
• Email Product Search Listing Wrapper
  
   Displays the overall area contents, including any content wrapping around the list of product records.

 
• Email Product Search Listing Record
  
   Displays the details of each product record embedded within the Emedia product Search Listing area.

On a content managed web page area containing a "User Details/Favourites/Orders" area, the area can now have a drop down element embedded within it that controls if the user is assigned to User Subscription Category, based on the category set with the "Product Back In Stock Notification Subscription Category" marketing setting. This can be used by the user to in effect elect to receive or not receive back-in-stock email notifications. Within the area's "User Detail Form" area format, the format hook "user_receive_product_back_in_stock_notify_select" contains the select element, can be set to either Yes or No, and is saved when a user clicks on an element containing the "userUpdate_onclick" hook.

Using all these combined elements. to send out product back-in-stock notifications using the Emedia Messaging feature the following needs to have been set up:

 
• A User Subscription Category is created that indicates that it's to be subscribed by users to receive back-in-stock notifications

 
• Active users area assigned to the nominated User Subscription Category to receive back-in-stock email notifications and have "Receive Marketing" setting selected.

 
• The user subscription category is assigned to an Emedia Email that has a User Group containing a User Search Rule to find users who have products in their favourites list, and those products have a "Stock Available Since Date" within the last number of hours

 
• The Emedia Email content contains a Email Product Search Listing area in its Rich Text web page that has the Display Products In Area setting set to "Favourite Product Stock Available Again", with the "Stock Available Since Hours" setting matching the User Group Rule hours

 
• One or more products have the "Stock Available Since Date" with a date set within the number hours from the current date.

Once all these elements have been configured then the Emedia Email can be sent out either manually through the Emedia Messaging administration centre interface, or automatically using the Connector's TOTECS Emedia Email Sendout process. Each email sent out will contain a tailored list of products for each user assigned to the Emedia, for products now back-in-stock based on the time frame outlined.

Registered users can choose to receive future back-in-stock email notifications based on the products they add to their favourites list, as well as by subscribing or unsubscribing to the user subscription category that represents these types of notifications, either from within the Email they receive themselves, as well as through the User Details/Favourites/Orders and Emedia Subscription Form content managed web page areas. Administrator users can also assign/unassign users to receive back-in-stock notifications from within the User Detail administration centre interface, or via the Users text-file data import.

TOT-4052 - Set Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) credentials for all emails sent out

For all emails sent across a project, there is now the ability to include Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) signature key and domain, that identifies the email as being sent from an allowed outgoing email server. This helps the email servers receiving emails to verify that the emails are coming from an allowed sender, and reduces the chances of the emails being bounced or flagged as spam.

For DKIM to work, DKIM private and public cryptographic keys must first be created. This can be done in several ways. One way is to use the OpenSSL console application (that by default is installed in most Linux operating systems) to generate the DKIM keys. To do so open up a console application and enter the following commands:run the following commands:

 
• openssl genrsa -out private.key 2048

 
• openssl rsa -in private.key -pubout -out public.key

 
• openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in private.key -out private.pem

The private.pem file contains the DKIM Private Key that needs to be placed into the settings within the administration centre as defined below, The public.key file contains the public key that needs to be set up within a DNS text record, where the DNS record is created under the same web domain as the email address being used to send emails from. A DNS sub domain record needs to be set up that contains the DNS txt record, typically this would be default._domainkey.mydomain.com, but it could be eg12345._domainkey.mydomain.com. The "default" or "eg12345" is known as the selector. In the settings below the selector needs to be separated by the @ character, then the domain eg. default@mydomain.com, or eg12345@mydomain.com. The DKIM DNS txt record would have its value set as an example contain the public key like so:

When an email is sent out the DKIM private key and domain is used to sign the email, then the receiving mail server performs a DNS lookup to obtain the public key, and uses it to verify that the signed email is correct. Thus validating that the email came from an allowed sender.

Within the Administration Centre, under the Stores menu, within the General settings interface, a new section labelled "Email Sending" has been added that contains the following settings that are used to set DKIM settings for all non-marketing emails:

 
• Sender Email Address: Set the email address that indicates that the sender of all non-marketing email. If this is left empty then the sender will default to the From emaill address.

 
• DKIM Domain: Set the DKIM domain and selector that is used to by incoming email servers to validate that the email came from an allow sender. This must also be configured in the DNS text record under the website domain that is used to send the emails from. Set this setting to reduce the changes of emails being blocked. set selector such as default@mydomain.com, that would correspond to default._domainkey.mydomain.com DNS text record with DKIM public key.

 
• DKIM Private Key (PKCS8 Text Format): Set the DKIM private key (in the PKCS8 pem text format) that is used to encrypt the DKIM data in the emails sent out, that is validated by incoming email servers to validate that the email came from an allow sender. Ensure this private key was paired with the public key stored in the DNS DKIM text record. Ensure the private key starts with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- and ends with -----END PRIVATE KEY-----

From the Marketing menu, within the Emedia Messaging interface, upon clicking on the Set Message button for an Emedia Email, in the Configure Email Message the following settings have been added that allow DKIM credentials to be set against the emails being sent out for the specific Emedia. These are optional and if not set then the DKIM TOTECS email credentials will instead be used (the default previous behaviour):

 
• Sender Email Address: Set the email address that indicates that the sender of the emedia emails. This may be used by incoming mail servers to verify the sender with. If left empty then the From Email Address will be used instead.

 
• DKIM Domain: Set the DKIM private key (in the PKCS8 pem text format) that is used to encrypt the DKIM data in the emails sent out.

 
• DKIM Private Key: Set the DKIM private key (in the PKCS8 pem text format) that is used to encrypt the DKIM data in the emails sent out, that is validated by incoming email servers to validate that the email came from an allow sender. Ensure this private key was paired with the public key stored in the DNS DKIM text record. Ensure the private key starts with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- and ends with -----END PRIVATE KEY-----

From the Websites menu, within the Websites interface, upon clicking on a website domain, in the Website Details page the following settings have been added that allow DKIM credentials to be set against the emails being sent out for the specific content managed website These are optional and if not set then the DKIM project settings will be used instead, or else ignored:

 
• Sender Email Address: Set the email address that indicates that the sender of the website emails. This may be used by incoming mail servers to verify the sender with. If left empty then the From Email Address will be used instead.

 
• DKIM Domain: Set the DKIM private key (in the PKCS8 pem text format) that is used to encrypt the DKIM data in the emails sent out.

 
• DKIM Private Key: Set the DKIM private key (in the PKCS8 pem text format) that is used to encrypt the DKIM data in the emails sent out, that is validated by incoming email servers to validate that the email came from an allow sender. Ensure this private key was paired with the public key stored in the DNS DKIM text record. Ensure the private key starts with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- and ends with -----END PRIVATE KEY-----

TOT-4147 - Profile and view server loading times of a content managed web page

For a content managed web page being requested, there is now the ability to profile and view the server loading times for the different aspects of the web page, before the server returns the final web page back to the web browser for rendering. This allows website implementors and administrators to gain greater insight as to why a web page takes time to load, as well as understand which components of the web page may be causing longer load times.

Within the Administration Centre, from the Websites menu, within the Websites interface, upon right clicking on a webpage and clicking the Properties context menu item, within the Edit Webpage Properties dialog. a setting has been added labelled Enable Webpage Profiler. If set to Yes, then when a content managed webpage is loaded, the Webpage Profiler will popup containing the time taken for the server to load the overall webpage, as well as as how long it took for each web page area to load, overall time for each web page container, and time it takes to create a new guest session if a session doesn't already exist for the user. Using these numbers allows website administrators to determine which areas may be taking longer time to load, and look at how those areas are configured, and whether area caching should be turned on to reduce web page load times.

It's highly recommended to leave the "Enable Webpage Profiler" webpage setting to No, unless profiling is actively being used, otherwise website users may also see web page profiling and not understand why the profiler is appearing.
