Field Level Translations: Translatable Slugs

Changes in: mapi app Permalink

You were looking forward to use our field-level-translation for it simple use of translation workflows, but also wanted to go with custom slugs without custom development. You're now able to do that by activating our Translatable Slugs app right here: https://www.storyblok.com/apps/translatable-slugs
Clear asset trashcan

Changes in: Permalink

It's now possible to clear the trashcan in the asset manager. The process will also clear the cache in the CDN to make sure that all references are deleted.
Multi-language Admin

Changes in: app Permalink

It is now possible to change the language of Storyblok's admin interface in the "My Account" section. If you are missing your language we would be happy to receive contributions at the following repository https://github.com/storyblok/storyblok-translations.
Improved Translation Workflow

Changes in: app Permalink

In the past it was very easy to accidentally set a field value to empty when using the field level translation feature. With this update the content editor now has the possibility to translate each individual field and also reset the field value to its default.
CSS class options in Rich Text

Changes in: Permalink

You can now configure and use custom css classes for the Rich Text field. The classes are visible in the submenu of the raindrop button. Be sure to update your Storyblok's SDK to the latest versions to get the new node rendered properly in your project.
Configuration
To configure the classes go to the schema configuration of the field and define a label and a value.
Prevent losing unsaved changes

Changes in: app Permalink

This feature prevents the user from navigating away when there are unsaved changes on the content item.
Reload button for faster development

Changes in: app Permalink

For development of your website using localhost it is now possible to reload the preview window without the need to reload the whole page.
Advanced path app

Changes in: app Permalink
Sometimes the url structure that you create in Storyblok using slugs and folders doesn't reflect the structure on your website. That is where the "Advanced path" app comes into the play.
With the new app you can...
- ... have different preview domains based on the selected language
- ... have a url structure that uses other separators than slashes. Example: yoursite.com/folderxy-itemxy instead of yoursite.com/folderxy/itemxy
- ... have virtual folders. Example: yoursite.com/itemxy instead of yoursite.com/folderxy/itemxy
Check it our here.
To always map to the right links we also updated the links api and added the real_path attribute.
Real path in links api

Changes in: app Permalink

The attribute real_path has been added to the links api. This allows you get the value of the "Advanced path" or the real path of the story if it is defined. As links is a object you can easily lookup for the path: links[story.uuid].real_path
Make plugin fields required

Changes in: app Permalink

With the new schema configuration "Required field(s)" you can now define a comma separated list of fields to validate objects from custom field type plugins.
RSS feed for Changelog

Changes in: website Permalink

Added RSS feed to changelog including separated twitter account so users can subscribe to only Storyblok updates without marketing information or retweets.
Easy field renaming

Changes in: app mapi Permalink
In the past changing a field name required you to run a content migration script to move the content from the old field to the new one. Now you can just rename the field and all your existing content will be migrated to the new field automatically in the background.
How to prepare your code for the migration
If your project is already live you need to include a logic in your code to render both fields during the renaming process. Following an example in Vue.js (assuming you rename family_name to last_name:
```
<h2 v-if="blok.family_name">{{ blok.family_name }}</h2>
<h2 v-if="blok.last_name">{{ blok.last_name }}</h2>
```

Improved performance of spaces/me call

Changes in: api Permalink

If you are calling the endpoint api.storyblok.com/v1/cdn/spaces/me before every page rendering to get the cache version we have good news for your. The call just got 1000 times faster with a 2 second CDN cache. This reduces also the risk to run in a rate limit error. To make sure that static website builds are getting the right version the webhook executions got delayed by 2 seconds too.
Root Asset Folder Permissions

Changes in: app Permalink

You can now select specific asset folder to give users access to. All other folders and assets of those folders will be available for selection but can not be moved, replaced, deleted or modified.
