A/B-Testing

Update Notice

With this version the support of the FS_LIST input component is dropped. It is replaced by the FS_CATALOG input component.

For new installations all necessary project adjustments are included in the templates, which can be imported via the module configuration.

For existing projects, the following adaptations must be made manually in the project. It is not necessary to close existing experiments for this purpose.

Page template Dispatcher

The FS_LIST input component pt_variants must be replaced by an FS_CATALOG input component:

Input component pt_variants. 

<FS_CATALOG name="pt_variants">
    <LANGINFOS>
        <LANGINFO lang="*" label="Variants"/>
        <LANGINFO lang="DE" label="Varianten"/>
    </LANGINFOS>
    <TEMPLATES type="link">
        <TEMPLATE uid="variant"/>
    </TEMPLATES>
</FS_CATALOG>

Within the HTML output channel of the page template, a getItem() call must be added four times:

HTML output channel. 

<c:set target="${variant}" property="hash" value="$CMS_VALUE(variant.getItem().get(#global.language, "lt_referenceUid").get().hashCode)$"/>
<c:set target="${variant}" property="url" value="$CMS_REF(pageref:variant.getItem().get(#global.language, "lt_referenceUid").get(), abs:1)$"/>
<c:set target="${variant}" property="name" value="$CMS_VALUE(variant.getItem().get(#global.language, "lt_text").get())$"/>
<c:set target="${variant}" property="id" value="$CMS_VALUE(variant.getItem().get(#global.language, "lt_referenceUid").get())$"/>

Link template Variant

For the correct representation of the individual elements within the FS_CATALOG input component, the link template used for the elements must contain a snippet definition.

Label of the snippet definition. 

lt_text + " (" + lt_referenceUid + ")"

Extract of the snippet definition. 

"Original: " + (lt_original.size() > 0) + " / Comment: " + if(lt_comment.empty, "-", lt_comment)

CSS file A/B-Testing Configuration

In line 31 of the CSS file A/B-Testing Configuration the width must be increased from 90px to 120px:

A/B-Testing Configuration. 

input[type="text"].fs-abtest-experimentParticipationRateOutput, input[type="text"].fs-abtest-experimentParticipationRateOutput.hideBorder:focus {
    height: 30pt;
    width: 120px;
    text-align: left;
    background: transparent;
    border: 1px solid #cccccc;
    border-radius: 3px;
}

Format template Traffic Allocation Plugin

In line 106 of the Traffic Allocation Plugin the function appendGuiComponentsTo must be extended by the creation of a link to the CSS file:

Traffic Allocation Plugin. 

experiment.appendGuiComponentsTo = function(container) {
    var link = window.parent.document.createElement("link");
    link.rel = "stylesheet";
    link.type = "text/css";
    link.href = "$CMS_REF(media:"abtesting_configuration")$";
    link.media = "all";
    container.appendChild(link);
    container.appendChild(createDomElement("h1", { "className": "pluginHeading", "innerHTML": AbTesting.Labels.get(AbTesting.Labels.keys.PARTICIPATION_RATES) }));
    container.appendChild(createDomElement("h2", { "className": "pluginHeading", "innerHTML": AbTesting.Labels.get(AbTesting.Labels.keys.EXPERIMENT) }));
    container.appendChild(controls);
    ...
