New Features of Pimcore 6.0
Since the release of Pimcore 6.0, hundreds of useful new features have been added to Pimcore. Our community of partners, developers, and customers have contributed so much, we nearly cannot believe it! This article provides a summary of the most-liked and smartest new Pimcore 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, and 6.5 features.
Tools & Platform
XLIFF Export for Translation Management — Include related data and content
We made the XML Localization Interchange File Format feature much more powerful. Not only XLIFF files of individual web pages and products can now be exported and imported for faster and automated translation, but also all related data such as categories and related entities can be included. This makes translation work faster and more comfortable. Thanks, dvesh3!
Notification tool makes it possible to share elements with other users
The new notification feature makes it possible to send notifications to users. Inside an opened element a share button enables users to share the opened element with another user. When there is a new notification for a user, a window is displayed with the possibility to open this shared element. This is a great tool for simple task management. Thanks, fszenborn!
Invitation link for new users
When a new user is created, an email with an invitation link can now be sent to this user. This makes password management more secure and comfortable, as new users do not have to be dealing with their passwords in the email inbox anymore. Plus it eases the administrator’s job in terms of user management, as they can now create a new user and notify them via email in a single step. Thanks, dvesh3!
Forward sent emails to additional recipients
The central overview of all “Sent Emails” was enhanced. You can now not only see, but also search and filter in a complete list of all notifications and emails that have been sent out by the Pimcore platform. The new feature now makes it also possible to forward individual messages to predefined additional recipients of your choice. Thanks, dvesh3!
Notification tool integrates with workflow management
If you are using workflows you will most likely need notifications, which remind different users about their upcoming tasks or to share information about proposed changes. Until now these notifications were sent to users only by email. The integration of the workflow tool with the notification tool now makes it possible that notifications also appear inside the Pimcore admin backend, as part of the central notification system. Thanks, fashxp!
Admin style for showing workflow state of documents and assets
Depending on their workflow state, data objects in Pimcore can have different icons. We added this feature for documents and assets too. One use case is translation management. Depending on the translation status, the documents have different icons which indicate the workflow state. This allows the user to get a quick overview without having to open them. Thanks, mcuenez & elements-team!
PIM/MDM
Grid editing for Many To Many Object Relations
This new feature enables the user to directly add, edit, or remove relations to other data objects in the mass data record editing interface. Thanks to markus-moser!
Icon library integration in class definition editor
A select field in the class definition tab displays a set of icons. They are all different color variants of the default data object icon. Also, an event is dispatched in the getIconsAction() to customize the icons available in the select. This makes the configuration of custom icons for data objects such as as products, attributes, and related data, easier, faster and more comfortable. Thanks, jremmurd!
