Features, improvements, and updates
1. Display of Journal linked journals
The language used to connect linked journals via hyperlinks in the title header has been refined to better reflect the relationship between those journals. The terminology now in use is as follows:
Splits into / Split from: Journal A, B, and C exist as separate publications. Journal A splits and is absorbed in part by B and C. Journal A ceases to exist.
Continued in part by: Part of Journal A separates to form Journal B, which is a spin-off from Journal A. Journal A continues as before
Supplements / supplemented by: Journal B supplements Journal A.
Absorbs / is Absorbed by: Journal B absorbs Journal A. Journal A ceases to exist. Journal B maintains its title. Both journals must exist independently before Journal B absorbs Journal A.
Union of: Journal A and Journal B are merged to form Journal C. Both Journal A and Journal B cease to exist after the merge. It is also possible for three or more journals to merge.
2. 'Show more' button added to series / episodes widget
For series which have a high volume of content (5+ episodes per series), upon load of the series page the first 5x results will display initially with the option to load more episodes under that series using the new 'show more' button.
By reducing the number of results initially loaded, the page load speed for high volume series record pages has been dramatically improved.
Bug Fixes
- On the search page, the 'Order by' filter was mislabelled to 'sort' and presented in the incorrect style for the site. This has been reverted.
