CMS

Ability to tag content with multiple matches

Journalists can now tag a particular article (video or gallery) with more than one match. This is useful when covering multiple matches with a single article (for instance: Champions league round preview). The order of the matches can also be defined by the journalists. This in turn will allow developers to build custom logic. Example use-cases:

• The first match is the most important so developers will show odds widget by default for this game at the beginning of the content area. 

• Developers can show match widget at the bottom of every article automatically, saving the effort for journalists. If more than one match is available, they can have a carousel or tabs that show all matches.

CMS

Improved football connection suggestions logic in Article/Video/Gallery

This will increase the speed when assigning related content. When journalists add football connections, they get suggestions for articles. The logic now is:

• If a match is selected, the CMS will suggest all content already tagged with this match as related

• If no match is selected, but teams are, the CMS will suggest 10 latest articles tagged with these teams

• If no match or teams are selected, but players are, the CMS will suggest 10 latest articles tagged with the first player

Note: These are just suggestions. The journalist must still manually mark the content as related.
