Frosmo Platform releases

Maintenance release (2022-01-24)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• In recommendation filters, added support for filtering items based on datetime attributes (any string attribute that represents an ISO 8601 datetime value). You can now filter items based on whether the value of a datetime attribute is or is not inside a specified number of days or hours.

  • For recommendation strategies, added the during and not during filter rule operators.
  • For recommendation configurations, added support for the during and notDuring filter rule operators.

  For example, you can use the created_at and updated_at attributes to filter items based on whether their data has or has not been created or updated inside X days or hours.

In product tracking:

• Added support for the read-only feed_updated_at attribute. The platform automatically creates and updates the attribute for a product whenever the product data comes from a feed. If you include this attribute in a product view event, the platform ignores the event.
• The platform now treats the created_at and updated_at attributes as read-only. The platform automatically creates and updates these attributes for a product. If you include either attribute in a product view event, the platform ignores the event.

Bug fixes

In Frosmo Preview:

• Fixed a bug in Advanced > Products where the UI incorrectly marked a successful product view event as a failed one if the same event had failed earlier on the same page load, and vice versa.
• Fixed a bug in Advanced > Requests where objects in the URL links were not stringified.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2022-01-18)

Improvements

In data tracking:

• Added support for product variants. You can now define a product as a variant of a parent product. You do this by defining the parentId standard attribute for the product. The attribute value is the id of the parent product. For more information, see Tracking products with the data layer.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-12-27)

Improvements

In data tracking:

• Increased the maximum length of the name and type standard product attributes from 128 to 256 characters. This update also applies to the frosmoProductName and frosmoProductCategory legacy product attributes.

In Frosmo Preview:

• In trigger debugging information, added a warning that is displayed when the alias defined for the trigger is also the name of a Frosmo Core event, which can result in an infinite loop.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-12-09)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• Added a new currency, the Croatian kuna (HRK), to the site settings in the Control Panel.

In Frosmo Preview:

• Updated the layout of the new visitor status view for a cleaner and more consistent look.
• Updated searchable drop-down menus to horizontally align search results to the left.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-11-30)

Improvements

In Frosmo Preview:

• Added a new visitor status view, which you can open by clicking the Frosmo cheetah logo in the top menu bar. The view shows your session status (new or returning visitor) and geolocation, and your current segments and affinities.
• In Advanced > Products and Advanced > Transactions & Conversions, updated the UI copy for clarity and consistency.

Bug fixes

In Frosmo Preview:

• Fixed the following bugs in the Preview view:
  • If you were in workspace preview mode, and the workspace in question contained a modification with a production counterpart, Frosmo Preview allowed you to only preview the production modification. Now, if you're in workspace preview mode, the preview correctly shows the workspace version of the modification.
  • If you were in workspace preview mode, and the workspace in question contained a placement with a production counterpart, the Placements drop-down menu only listed the production ID for the placement (even though the preview correctly showed the workspace version of the placement). Now, the menu also lists the ID of the workspace placement.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-11-04)

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in modifications where, if a company's time zone was set to "Europe/London", creating modifications was not possible on the company's sites.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-10-18)

Improvements

In Frosmo Preview:

• In Debug > Modifications, the list of modifications now only shows modifications that are displayed on the current page or assigned to a placement that is valid for the current page. The list also shows a green checkmark for modifications that have been rendered on the current page.
• In Debug > Modifications and Debug > Placements, the Placement tab now shows a warning when the placement times out (meaning its target element was not found on the page).
• In Debug > Modifications, Debug > Placements, and Debug > Triggers, the Trigger tab now shows a warning when the trigger times out (meaning the conditions for firing the trigger did not arise).

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-10-11)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• In recommendation strategy filters:

  • The item attribute field now only lists attributes whose data type is one of the following:

    • Array of Booleans
    • Array of numbers
    • Array of strings
    • Boolean
    • Number
    • String

    The platform supports filtering only for these data types.

  • The is one of and is not one of operators now also support item attributes with a Boolean value. Previously, the operators only supported attributes with a number or string value.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in segmentation where, if you searched for segments using the search field, a long segment description broke the layout of the resulting segment list.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-10-07)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• In recommendation strategy filters, improved item attribute validation:

  • You must now select the item attribute for a filter rule. Previously, you could also enter the attribute name, which allowed you to select an attribute not actually tracked for the site, thereby creating an invalid filter rule.
  • The platform now fully checks that the target value defined for a filter rule is valid for the selected item attribute and operator.
  • The UI now displays a warning if the platform cannot determine which item attributes can be used for filtering.

  • The UI now displays a warning if an existing filter rule is using an obsolete attribute.

    An obsolete attribute is one that's been removed from the database because product tracking has not updated its values in a long time. An obsolete attribute, by definition, cannot be used for filtering.

• In recommendation configurations, removed support for using attributes. to reference attributes returned as properties of the attributes object in a Product API response. To reference these attributes, simply use the attribute name, such as brand or price.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-09-28)

Improvements

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-08-24)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• Added the Setup > Products page. The page lists all the products tracked for the currently selected site, with the full product data displayed for each product.
• In workspaces, if a workspace publication fails with an error that the platform cannot roll back, the UI displays an error popup with a Copy button for copying the error details to the clipboard. Previously, the copy function Base64-encoded the error details. However, the encoding can fail in certain cases, resulting in nothing being copied. Now, clicking the button copies the error details as raw unencoded text.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-06-23)

Improvements

In data tracking:

• Updated the new product data structure for product tracking to include categories as a standard attribute.

  The platform has supported the new structure, which splits attributes into standard attributes and custom attributes, under the hood since 2021-04-12. The old structure is now officially deprecated, although the platform continues to support it for backwards-compatibility until otherwise communicated.

  The product tracking guide will be shortly updated with details about the new structure.

Bug fixes

In Frosmo Preview:

• Fixed a bug where the Debug > Shared code view listed both the production and workspace versions of a piece of shared code as active for the current page.

  • In modification settings, you can now easily switch between the basic settings view and the statistics view by selecting the corresponding tab in the top left corner of the page.

    

  • In modification variation settings, if a variation uses a template, the Content options section now shows the JSON object describing the content options set for the variation. You can view the object by expanding the Content options object (JSON) subsection.
• In placement settings, for URL matchers, increased the width of text input field to better accommodate longer values.
• In trigger settings, updated the settings view to match the layout of similar component settings views.
• Revised the UI copy for the Google Analytics integration page.

Platform component versions

Maintenance release (2021-05-31)

Improvements

In the Control Panel:

• In recommendation strategies:
  • Added support for the Most bought on the site in recent months algorithm. The algorithm returns the most bought items on the site in, by default, the past 60 days.
  • Added support for the any one of contains filter rule operator. This operator allows you to search an array of strings (attribute value) for a single string or substring (your target value). The rule evaluates to true if at least one item in the array contains the string.
  • Added the predefined filters Only return items whose categories include the viewed category and Only return items whose categories include at least one category to which the viewed item belongs for category and product pages, respectively. Both filters use the categories attribute of an item.
  • Renamed the predefined category page filter Only include items that match the viewed category to Only return items whose type matches the viewed category. As before, the filter uses the type attribute of an item.
  • Renamed the predefined product page filter Only include items that match the category of the viewed item to Only return items whose type is the same as the viewed item's. As before, the filter uses the type attribute of an item.
  • Renamed the algorithms to omit the specific day ranges. For example, Bought together with current item - 60 days is now Bought together with current item, while Most bought on the site - 7 days is now Most bought on the site in recent days.
• In recommendation configurations:
  • Added support for the anyElementContains filter rule operator. This is the same operator as the any one of contains operator for recommendation strategies.
• In email recommendations:
  • The copy code popup now additionally displays the ID and number of slots for the email recommendation.
  • Updated the UI copy for clarity and consistency.

In Frosmo Core:

• Made various improvements, which resulted in reducing the script file size from 56 KB to 54 KB (4%).

In Frosmo Preview:

• In the Debug > Segments view, added debugging information about the triggers associated with the selected segment.

Bug fixes

In the Control Panel:

• Fixed a bug in segmentation where removing a segment in the Control Panel did not always remove the segment from the site. This was caused by the site's custom script getting exported to the site before the segment was removed from the script.

In Frosmo Preview:

• Fixed a bug where, if you were in a workspace, the Site view incorrectly reported that the site's custom script is out of date. This was caused by Frosmo Preview checking the modified timestamp of the currently loaded workspace custom script against the latest available production custom script rather than the latest available workspace custom script.
