How to activate new v2 newsletter design in Connections CR5


We recently updated Connections CR4 to CR5. Before the update, the new newsletter design was enabled by setting

<property name="globalNotificationTemplateTheme">notifications_v2</property>

in the <property> section of notification-config.xml file. After the update, this was still set to notifications_v2 but doesn't work. I get the old newsletter design.

What is required to enable the new v2 design in CR5? Couldn't find documentations or changelogs from IBM about this topic.


Solution

  • When using CR5, you also need to set this property in the <properties> section:

    <property name="globalNotificationTemplateThemeEnable">true</property>
    

    This is also mentioned in the documentation:

    1. IMPORTANT: The CR5 update also adds a new property, globalNotificationTemplateThemeEnable, that must now be set to true, even if you already enabled the enhanced templates during CR4.
