Upgrade Call Outs
We recommend reading the details within each update item post to understand this theme’s upgrade considerations. Implications—namely re-forking certain files or cards—will only apply for the following updates:
Multi-lang Doc Search Card
After upgrading to Theme 1.28, navigate to the config.json file of your chosen vertical, and update the cardType to multilang-documentsearch-standard .
Configure Map Scrolling on Universal
If you are using a map on universal search, you should delete and re-add the page. Alternatively, you can copy scrollZoom in the providerOptions into the config.json file for any vertical where you use a map on the universal page.
If you forked templates/universal-standard/script/universalresults.hbs, you will need to refork or update based on changes in this PR, Stop default universal map scrolling (#1030) · yext/answers-hitchhiker-theme@92290c8 · GitHub.
Update universalSectionTemplate for Vertical Grid Pages
The new default "universalSectionTemplate": "grid-three-columns" will only be applied to net-new vertical-grid pages you add after you upgrade your theme. Feel free to customize this default or change the universalSectionTemplate property to this suggested default on existing pages.
Additionally, if you forked templates/vertical-grid/page-config.json , you will need to refresh the file to get this update for future vertical-grid pages.
Jambo Card Issue with Name Replacement
If you previously forked a card and included the original card name in the new card name, check that the class name in the card component.js file is named properly. If not, re-fork the card after upgrading your theme. Additionally, if you forked files in the commands folder, you will need to update them based on this commit:
