V215 | Release Notes - July 2025

In Release 213, we announced an improved URL structure for Courses and People. In this release, you get the same flexibility for your What’s on / Calendar list, Production pages, Theme groups and Theme pages.

Why this matters to you:

What you can do now:

Every Production, Theme, Theme group and People page now comes with a (multilingual) slug field:

Slugs are now used as part of the main URL for each page, followed by a four-digit identifier.

This identifier appears at the end of the URL, making links cleaners and easier to read. Previously, codes were used earlier in the URL.

You can add or change Slugs for any Production, Theme, Theme group or People page at any time. Existing URLS will automatically redirect to the new ones, so there is no risk of broken links.

We have added the possibility to create customer URL structures for different content sections by adjusting the URL prefix. This feature supports multilingual sites, making it easier to tailor URLs to each language version of your site.

Examples:

The following sections now fully support these new prefixes:

As we roll out this feature, your current URL structures will remain exactly the same.

We are also working on a robust redirect feature that will automatically track URL prefix changes and ensure visitors are smoothly redirected from old URLs to new ones. This feature is not available yet, we  advise holding off on changing any URL prefixes until the redirect service is launched.

For more details, please read our knowledgebase article.

Your multilingual website can now also be offered in Spanish!

All system texts and template texts are available in English, Dutch, German, French, Danish, Norwegian, and Spanish. This works very well together with our AI translation feature you can find in all rich text editors.

The locations module has received the new Dashboard layout. In the overview, it is now possible to order locations. This order will be reflected in any filter on the website.

The new Dashboard updates makes it easier to manage large pages with a new field grouping feature. To help you stay organised and work more efficiently, pages now includes clearly labelled tabs - such as Details, Integration and Images - for improved workflow and so you can quickly acces and update the content you need.

This improvement will be rolled out first for the Wayfinding Events module, offering a more streamlined and user-friendly editing experience.

Other modules now in new Dashboard layout:

New filter settings are now available for Genres, Themes and Locations in both the Cinemaplanner and Coming soon Parts. Simply add the parameter “genres”,  “themes” or “locations” along with the relevant ID to customise your content display.

Your platform can now import event data from multiple sources. For MusicCity, two Spektrix event updaters are used, getting their event content from two different Spektrix installations!

Multi-select filters now show the number of selected options while keeping the original instruction text visible. This improves accessibility for screen reader users, who can now better understand the purpose of the filter.

Previously, the filter displayed all selected options when closed, which made it difficult to use with a screen reader.

This update is part of our ongoing commitment to making your website fully accessible. We have already made significant progress in recent releases, and there’s more to come! You can view our plans here.
