Fetch Your Legacy Article Details Layouts into Dynamic Content
You can now bring your existing SP Page Builder Article Details layout directly into Dynamic Content, creating a smoother and more unified design workflow.
Previously, even if you had already designed an Article Details page with SP Page Builder, there wasn't any direct way to reuse that layout inside a Dynamic Content details page. You would have to rebuild everything again from the beginning.
With this new option, that limitation is gone. If you already have an Article Details design in place, you can now seamlessly fetch the same layout into your Dynamic Content Article Details page, saving time and letting you transition into Dynamic Content without starting over!
How does it work:
Just add a Collection addon, assign it to Articles, drop a Dynamic Text addon inside, and link it to your SP Page Builder Layout. And that is all you need to do!
Show Exact Locations with Geolocation Fields
Just when we thought this update couldn’t get any better, here’s a feature to make you even more excited—Geolocation fields are finally here!
The Geolocation field in Dynamic Content lets you capture, store, and display location-based information for your articles, listings, or any type of content. It adds context, personalization, and a real-world touch that makes your content truly come alive.
Adding your location is super easy—just enter it, and the longitude and latitude fields are populated instantly!
How does it work:
Using the geolocation field to your pages is easy! Simply add Geolocation fields to your collection items and then display them in the frontend by using the Dynamic Media addon and linking it to the corresponding geolocation field.
Why you’ll love it:
Enter Your Address Directly: You can simply type in the address of your content or item, and it will be recognized by the Geolocation field.
Single or Multiple Locations Per Item: Each collection item can hold one or multiple addresses, giving you the flexibility to display multiple properties with several locations.
Automatic Longitude & Latitude Detection: Once you enter an address, the longitude and latitude are automatically generated. This ensures accurate mapping and makes it effortless to display locations on maps without manually calculating coordinates.
Interactive OpenStreetMap Display: The Geolocation field fully supports OpenStreetMap, letting you display your locations on a clean, interactive map layout.
Other Notable Features
Dynamic Text Added Truncation Option
You can now control how much text is displayed in your dynamic content with the new truncation option. This makes it easier to keep layouts clean and readable, especially when working with long articles or descriptions.
