  • in AdTiles, Slider, Carosuel, Cube 3D templates - we will add possibilities of edit arrows and option of add your own arrow (notice: arrow have to be in right side and symetric)
  • for AdTiles:
    • posibility of expanding in one from four directs
    • z-index setting

Changes in API

The changes will not be backward compatible.

Due to the introduction of a new version of the module for calculating campaign statistics, the following changes will be made in the AdOcean API:

  • For the GetBasicStatsLite command:
    • The sortStatName parameter will replace the sortField parameter.
    • In the case of the timeUnitName parameter, if defined as timeUnitName!=General, we will receive period in place of timeUnit.
    • If no data is available for a given indicator, you will receive “0” in place of "NULL"
    • Another date format will be available in period and in campaign details for options humanDates and showDetails. Exmaples:
      • "2016-09" in place of "201609" for timeUnitName=Month
      • "2016-09-19,2016-09-26" in place of "20160919" for timeUnitName=Week
      • "2016-09-20" in place of "20160920" for timeUnitName=Day
      • "2016-09-20 15:00 in place of "2016092015" for timeUnitName=Hour
    • If a command is called for a campaign for which dataTo, dataFrom, updateDate are not defined, you receive “-“ in place of the NoStatsAvailable error.
    • Default value for the sortOrder parameter is desc in place of asc. If sortOrder is used without defining the value of sortStatName, there will be no error, command will be called without this parameter.
    • The following new parameters will be added: domainName, limit, showDetails, humanDates, showNames.
    • For the statNames parameter we will change type from AdOceanListType(AdOceanAlNumType(1, 100, ".")) to AdOceanAlNumListType(".") .
    • For sortStatName and SortField parameters we will change type from AdOceanListType(AdOceanAlNumType(1, 100, ".")) to AdOceanAlNumType(1, 100, ".")
    • Changes in errors:
      • "No campaignid" in place of "No No campaignid"
      • "No statnames" in place of "No No statnames"
      • "statnames has a non-alphanumeric character." in place of "In statnames: element has a non-alnum character."
      • "You can't give X, since timeunit, lowertimeunit and/or uppertimeunit can't be given for General timeunitname." In place of "You can't give X, since lowertimeunit and/or uppertimeunit can't be given for General timeunitname.". X it can be timeunit, lowertimeunit or uppertimeunit.
      • "Bad sortStatName." in place of "Wrong sortField."
    • If you use upperlimit and lowerlimit parameters, it will be checked if both parameters are used.
    • If in upperlimit and lowerlimit parameters the time period is empty, then the list of statistics will be empty in place of error.
    • We will add new parameters in result of the command:
      • campaignFrom, campaignTo, dataFrom, dataTo, updateTS, campaignState, campaignModel – if showDetails = Y is used
      • campaignTime – if timeUnitName = General is used
