Goal

HNT-1345 Insert purpose of pull request

QA

The following checks were done on http://localhost:3000/ against the development environment:

Scheduler page

• Single button shows for www.{domain}.com item; indicating www. is ignored.
• For an abcnews.go.com article, two buttons are displayed (for abcnews.go.com and go.com)
• Changing the publisher, clicking 'Save for abcnews.go.com' shows the success banner:

  Publisher 'ABC News' saved for abcnews.go.com. Future items from this domain will use this publisher.

• After the abcnews.go.com Publisher name is saved, adding a new ABC News item shows the new name in the Publisher text box.
• Changing the publisher, clicking 'Save for go.com' shows the success banner:

  Publisher 'Walt Disney' saved for go.com. Future items from this domain will use this publisher.

• After saving the go.com publisher name, adding a new disneyworld.disney.go.com shows the saved publisher name.
• Adding an article with a Punycode domain allows the publisher with special characters to be set (Törn).

Custom sections

• Saving and pre-populating publisher names works in the ApprovedItem dialog in Custom Sections.

ML sections

• Save button shows up on the ApprovedItem dialog in ML sections

ML sections

• Save button shows up on the ApprovedItem dialog in ML sections

Deployment

• This change will be left in the development environment for a day on Dec 10th, to let editors play with it and familiarize themselves with the new functionality.

• A message will be posted in the #hnt-editorial channel notifying the editorial team of the change:

  In the development curation admin tools you can now preview an upcoming change that lets you edit publisher names directly from the Edit Item dialog. We plan to bring this to production on Thursday morning. Feel free to play around in the development curation admin tools; any changes you make there will not go to users.

  How it will work:

  • In the Edit Item dialog you will see a button “Save for {domain}” next to the Publisher field. Change the Publisher to the correct name and click this button. All future items from that domain will use this publisher name, across all locales and all ingestion methods (including ML). This does not affect existing items. You still need to click Save to apply changes to the item you are editing.

  • For items with a subdomain, you will also see “Save for {subdomain}” next to the Publisher field (see screenshot below). This works the same way, but applies only to future items from that subdomain. If names are saved for both a domain and a subdomain, the subdomain takes precedence. For example, you can set es.euronews.com → Euronews Español, and euronews.com → Euronews.

This was necessary because there are now multiple buttons containing 'save' in the text.
