Gentics Content.Node 5.14.5

Enhancement RT56697

It is now possible to change the cache clear behavior. For more information please take a look at the following FAQ

Enhancement RT56697

The performance of the tagtype migration was enhanced. A new option was added to the tag type migration in order to skip the dependency calculation and internal event handling.

Enhancement RT56682

Updater: There will be a warning printed now, when starting a Gentics Content.Node update when there have been java patches installed.

Bugfix RT56683

Fixed an error with the REST API that would not allow to create pages in a channel – the pages were always created in the master.

Bugfix RT56251

When using IE10 to translate pages that modify their DOM, under some circumstances, the upper
frame used to shrink sometimes. Now the frame stays correctly sized.

Bugfix

Possible missing publish log error messages have been fixed.

Bugfix RT56403

Folder image/file view: Fixed performance issues with folders that contain more than 1000 images or files. The performance issues were caused by always loading all objects in the folder instead of only the objects for the current pagination view.

Bugfix RT56615

When the time management of pages was handled during a multithreaded publish process, the publish process could freeze (never finish).
This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT55659

Deleting nodes is now no longer possible if tagtypes are linked to no other nodes than the deleted ones.
This prevents a data inconsistency, where orphaned tagtypes were invisibly lingering inside tagtype categories.
A dialog informs the user which tagtypes are blocking the deletion of the node.

Bugfix RT56765

The time management for pages did not always work as expected. Sometimes, pages were not taken off- or online due to time management at all, sometimes not at the desired time, but some time later.
This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT54963

A misleading tooltip that was shown when choosing elements in a selection-tagpart was removed.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.24.3-commercial – 09.10.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.4

We recommend that the apache server signature will be hidden.

Set the following settings in the /Node/etc/httpd/extra/httpd-default.conf file:

ServerSignature Off
ServerTokens Prod

A restart of the apache webserver is required in order to enable the settings.

Enhancement RT56609

Multichannelling contentrepositories have now a new option to choose between differential check for removed objects (which is faster) or the full check (which is saver) on every publish run.
The default value is the differential check.
Additionally, the number of SQL statements necessary to publish an object into a multichannelling contentrepository has been reduced to improve performance.

Enhancement RT56615

The internal logging of a publish error has been enhanced.

Bugfix RT56601

Fixed regression in the GCN JS API so that, now, the callback that is passed to
the tag.save() method will receive the saved tag as its only argument.

Bugfix RT56642

Accessing the table dependencymap2 has been optimized to avoid synchronization between threads when using multithreaded publishing.
This will increase the overall performance of a multithreaded publish process. As a side-effect, the table dependencymap2 is no longer locked during a publish process.

Bugfix RT56498

Moving pages/files/folders: Fixed multiple issues

Files couldn‘t be moved to inherited channel folders
Folders/pages: Folders were selectable, even tho when the user doesn‘t have permission on the folder (However the permission was checked when clicking)
Folders: Moving folders to inherited/localized folders didn‘t work.
After moving an object, the folder changed to the new folder, but the selection in the tree didn‘t update.

Bugfix RT56518

Part type “Url (image)”: Fixed this part not correctly working in the tagfill dialog, when there were multiple parts of this type.

Bugfix RT56477

Previously, a task scheduled to be executed after another task finishes
would sometimes start twice at the same time. Now it will only start once.

Bugfix RM11868

Previously, an SGB occured when pressing “cancel” in the page create dialog. Now the list of pages appears instead.

Bugfix RT56423

A bug in the tagtype migration post processor handling was fixed. Removed tags will now be deleted. Previously tags that were removed from the restmodel would not be removed.

Bugfix RT56245

Fixed selection of translators in the todo tool.

Bugfix RT56251

Previously, in the page translate view, syncing of scrollbars didn‘t work if
the lower page contained an iframe and Aloha Editor was not used. Now, syncing
works under these conditions, too.

Bugfix RT56642

The number of SQL Statements for publishing objects into contentrepositories, when using multithreaded publishing has been reduced to increase the overall publish performance.

Bugfix

Fixed an error when using the feature contentfile_auto_offline is used when publishing into a multichannelling contentrepository.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.24.2-commercial – 07.10.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.3

Enhancement RT56423

Various minor enhancements were added to the migration feature.

An additional option was added to the migration feature. It is now possible to disable the export backup.
The logging and documentation for page migration jobs has been enhanced.
The restAPI cancelMigration call will now be able to abort the migration in additional phases of the migration.

Enhancement RT56111

Scheduler: Updated documentation, documented setting $MAX_SCHEDULE_RUNTIME.

Bugfix RM8723

The word “Folder“ and “Name” in the mini-browser now has the proper
internationalization for both German and English.

Bugfix RT56570

When publishing a node and its channels into content repositories, it could happen, for a localized object, also the master was published into the channel‘s contentrepository.
Additionally, too many dependencies were stored for localized objects, which could lead to unnecessary dirting of objects.
Both issues have been fixed.

Bugfix RT56423

A minor bug was fixed in the new tag type migration enhancement in version 5.14.2. Previously not all pages were added to the set of pages that should be migrated.

Bugfix RT56438

When translating localized or inherited pages in a channel that already existed in this language,
a new copy of the page was created in the channel. This issue has been fixed, the translate call
now correctly returns the page that existed before.

Bugfix RT56480

Calling tag.edit() will no longer result in a 404 error in frontend editing if
the GCN Intergration plugin‘s “link“ property is not configured. We now default
this property to “backend” so that links are rendered as they would appear when
using the GCN Intergration Plugin in Content.Node backend.

Bugfix RT55753

Fixed problems with permission checks that would keep a user from updating his own email address.

Bugfix RT56423

A bug in the tag type migration of pages was fixed. Previously the post processors did not receive the migrated page. Migrations that did not use postprocessors were not affected.

Bugfix RT56282

Quickjump: Fixed wrong folder when opening a multichannelling page. When selecting a page in the quickjump autocomplete dropdown and then going from the page into the folder you landed in the master folder instead of the channel folder.

Bugfix RT55802

Page publishing: Fixed Nullpointer exception when publishing a page that contained an objecttag or templatetag with an invalid part type.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.24.1-commercial – 25.09.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.2

Enhancement RT56423

An additional option was added to the tag type migration of single pages. This option allows the user to specify whether the defined mapping should be used as a template on a set of pages. The option is documented in detail in the GCN guides.

Enhancement RT55738

The Content.Repository check and repair action was enhanced.
Similar to the CRSync sanitycheck2 and autorepair2 option a check for quick columns will be performed when the check or repair method was invoked.

Bugfix RT56500

When publishing multiple master nodes into the same multichannelling contentrepository, the objects in the contentrepository were checked more than once for deleted objects.
This has been fixed now, so that unnecessary checks are avoided.

Bugfix RT56497

When publishing into an Oracle MCCR, integer attributes of objects were written again, even if they did not change.
This produced unnecessary UPDATEs in the DB and has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56274

Previously, some kinds of JPEG images that trigger bugs in Java ImageIO could not be
uploaded using the REST API, as they were saved as files with content type
“application/octet-stream“. These images are now correctly recognized as “image/jpeg”.

Bugfix RT56020-RT56407

This fix makes the “publish at” feature work again.

Bugfix RT56328

When a filesystem attribute is written again with unchanged value, and the data file does not exist, the data file will be recreated.
This enables recreation of missing filesystem attribute data files by republishing the objects in the backend.

Bugfix

If the property gcnLibVersion is not configured for the GCN Intergration Plugin,
it will automatically default to “bin“, in order to use the “binary” version of
the GCN JS API in production.

Bugfix

When a file or image was marked for being republished using the maintenance dialog, its binarycontent was not written (again) into the content repository.
This could lead to missing binarycontent attributes in the content repository, if e.g. the content repository was newly assigned to the node, and has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56456

Page editing: Fixed rendering error that occured when editing pages with velocity tags that are not visible (visible when first edited).
Those tags were not rendered at all, and the following errors in the browser console were shown: “gcn: Error while rendering part type“ and “No template found”.

Bugfix RT56429

The GCN Intergration Plugin will properly use the renderBlockContentURL setting,
when provided to process rendered tags. This makes it possible to render plink
as proper urls for frontend editing.

Bugfix RT56435

When using multithreaded publishing in very long running publish processes (longer than 8 hours) a timeout in the database connection to the backend database could occur, which has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56517

When inherited pages were published in channels and the rendered source of the master page was reused, the dependencies of that page were re-written even if they did not change.
This was unnecessary and will be avoided now. Dependencies will only be written to the database if they effectively changed.

Bugfix RT56436

The logging of multithreaded publish processes has been improved.
Jobs, that are processed in separate threads (like writing data into content repositories), will now also be logged.

Bugfix RT56437

Fileuploader: Fixed multiple issues:

The mimetype was editable in the file properties and tagfill dialog, even tho when mimetype editing wasn‘t turned on.
Internet Explorer: Uploading a new file in the tagfill dialog didn‘t work due to a ie bug.
The filename was overwritten when clicking “OK” when it was edited before.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.24.0-commercial – 19.09.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.1

Optional Manual Change

Rest API: Removed the template “source” attribute from all Rest API responses except /template/load/.

This has been removed to decrease the size of the response, it was too big and could lead to memory_limit issues in the rest client when there were many elements returned.
With /template/load/ you can still get the templates source.

Enhancement RT55795

Previously, whenever you opened the properties dialog of a page, that page stayed locked for
the rest of the lock‘s duration unless you performed a “Page Save“ or “Page Cancel“ on
that page. Now, if you click on “Cancel” in the properties dialog of a page, the lock is
released instantly.

Enhancement RT56054

The REST API getItems performance for folders with many pages was improved.

Bugfix RT54176

Objecttag Definitions in export files are now annotated with information on
whether “assign to all nodes” has been selected for them. If such an annotated
Objecttag Definition is imported, the importer makes sure that the imported
object is associated with all nodes if the exported object was associated with
all nodes.

Bugfix RT55401

A scheduler task‘s editor is now updated correctly.

Bugfix RT54157

There was a bug in the calculation of the set of object properties available to
channel root folders. This used to prevent the user from seeing and editing
object properties of a channel root folder in the object property editor
dialog.

Bugfix RT56260

Object properties that are used or inherited in a page can now properly be disabled.
Previously, deactivating an object property did not cause the entry linked to it via
the tagmap editor to be properly removed from the Contentrepository.

Bugfix RT55614

Memory usage and performance of displaying the message inbox have been improved.
This prevents memory exhaustion even for very large numbers of messages.

Bugfix RT55968

When creating a new page from the backend the filename now will convert colons to underscore too, as colon is a reserved character by rfc3986#section-2.2

Bugfix RT56139

Page variants: Fixed bug that caused all variants of a page to be set to the status “Being edited” when opening and saving a overview tag in one page. Now the status of the other variants will not be touched anymore.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.19-commercial – 30.08.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.14.0

Manual Change

Java 7 Update

Please update the used Java version to Server JRE 1.7.0_25-b15 64 bit. Download the ‘Server JRE‘ package and extract it in e.g. /Node/. Update the /Node/java symlink to point to the new ‘Server JRE‘ directory. Restart the tomcat once you finished this step using the /Node/bin/nodectl script.

Manual Change

Fileuploader: The node.conf options “alwaysfileuploadfallback“ & “multifileupload” have been removed with the introduction of the new fileuploader.

As the new fileuploader comes with an automatic browser feature detection those settings are now obsolete, you can remove the settings from the node.conf.

Also, the ability to manually select File Upload Manipulator-options on the file upload page has been removed.
The decision on how files should be processed is now limited to the FUM itself.

Optional Manual Change

MySQL 5.5 / 5.6 Update

It is recommended to update the used MySQL Database Server to MySQL 64 Bit Server version 5.6 or 5.5.

The package MySQL Server update will increase performance and ensure compatibility with feature releases. The update will also remove the 32Bit memory limitation of the old MySQL Server which was included in older package installations.

Please take a look at the updated database migration FAQ and package installation FAQ for more information on how to configure the MySQL Server and set the needed settings.
The Gentics Content.Node Compatibility List contains a list of supported MySQL versions.

Feature RM7461

When selecting an item with the link browser, the link element‘s title attribute
will be automatically set based on Aloha Editor Link Plugin‘s new
titleregex/title configuration options.

Feature RM5949

The import/export feature was enhanced. It is now possible to select update files which have been placed into the /Node/node/system/fs_import_bundles. An additional drop down box was added to the import dialog.

Enhancement RT55744

The GCN JS API TagAPI.save() method has now been corrected to rather than just saving the whole page straight away a mockup object is created to save a single tag specifically.

Enhancement RT55296

Folder objects returned by the REST API now contain the additional (read only) fields masterId, channelsetId, channelId and isMaster.

Enhancement RT54655

Fileupload Manipulator (FUM): The timeouts and connection retries for the HTTP Client that will be used to call the FUM script are now configurable.
See the File Upload Manipulator for more details.

Enhancement RT55183

Fileupload & GenticsImageStore: CMYK JPG images are now recognized as images by the fileuploader and supported by the GenticsImageStore.
The GenticsImageStore will automatically convert CMYK input images to RGB JPEGs when manipulating an image.

Enhancement RT56044

Page translation has been improved with multichannelling functionalities. If an inherited or a localized page is translated and the corresponding
language variant does not yet exist in the master node, this page is created there and taken offline, linking the versions to each other
while basing the translated page‘s content on that of the localized version.
This enhancement is applied to all translation actions (direct REST call, Edit in, Translate to, Quick Recursive Translation).

Enhancement RT56224

Rest API: Disabled the automatic output indentation of all JSON responses by default for performance reasons. The JSON responses are now ~33% smaller.
This feature can now be turned on in the GCN configuration if needed. More info can be found in the documentation.

Enhancement RT54655

This release comes with a new fileuploader which replaces the old flash uploader, its fallback and the old PHP legacy fileuploader.
It combines the features of all the old fileuploaders with automatic browser feature detection and also has HTML 5 & drag&drop support.

See Gentics Content.Node Fileuploaders for more information.

Enhancement RM9880

The common/autoparagraph plugin was added to the list of default plugin. Please take a look at the aloha editor plugin documentation to learn more about the autoparagraph plugin.

Enhancement RT53174

Added a “Localize” option to the context menu of channel folders in the tree view of the left frame of the backend.

Bugfix RM7588

An error within the tagtype list was fixed. Previously it was not possible to reassign a tagtype category to a tagtype using the tagtype list context menu. This issue has now been resvoled.

Bugfix

In some cases the page status was not handled correctly. This caused the publish process to ignore some pages. This defect first appeared in 5.12.27 / 5.13.11. This issue was now resolved.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.19-commercial – 30.08.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.11

Manual Change

It is now possible to deactivate tags using the GCN JS API. Newly created tags

will be automatically activated, but before the page is saved, that tag can be
deactivated.

Because the GCN JS API will no longer automatically activate all tags in a page
that is saved after editing, this change may require some implementations to be
modified to manually activate in-active tags. A manual change will be necessary
for example, if your implementation renders a page‘s inactive object tags in
view mode via the GCN JS API. In this case, it will be necessary to first
activate the tag using tag.prop('active', true).

Enhancement RT56261

It is now possible to use the ModelBuilderApiHelper class to render REST Models. This is useful if you want to render a page within a Tag Type Migration Post processor.

Enhancement RT56054

The REST API getItems performance for folders with many pages was improved.

Enhancement RT55246

Improved and extended list of supported and discontinued features in the guides.

Bugfix

A issue within the sanitycheck2 was fixed. Previously an alter column statement for MSSQL only failed due to an syntax error. This is issue is now resolved.

Bugfix

Bugfix RT56127

Create page: Fixed error that ocurred when no filename was given and there was another file in the same publish path with an empty filename. Also fixed broken i18n translation for this error messages.

Bugfix RT56174

Fixed the assignment of constructs to nodes during the import.

Bugfix RT55141

Fixed GCNs internal sorting function not respecting whitespace in strings like MySQLs sorting does.
This caused the repository browsers to sort entries (nodes, folders) with whitespaces in the name differently than the main GCN node tree did.

Bugfix RT56138

Import: Fixed setting permissions when important content repositories.
When the import was started with a different group, it did not get permissions on the new content repository.
The chosen group and all parent groups will now get permission on the content repository when doing imports.

Bugfix RT56138

Import: Fixed permission bug when importing content repositories.
The group used for importing never got the “Assign user permissions”-permission flag.
Therefore users were never able to grant permissions for imported content repositories to other groups.

Bugfix RT56098

A performance issue has been fixed that slowed down the listing of files/images in
folders with a big number of files/images.

Bugfix RT55948

Fixed export selection in multichanneling environments. Previously, if you added
a folder that has been created in a channel in the channel where it was created,
its contained elements would not be automatically selected as dependencies.

Bugfix RT56181

When a contentrepository contained a tagmap entry of type “[7] Foreign Link“ that had a non-empty tagname set,
this could lead to objects being removed from the contentrepository, although they should not be removed.
This behaviour has been fixed now.
Please note however, that having a tagname set for a tagmap entry of type “[7] Foreign Link“ is wrong, because such an
attribute will not be rendered in the backend. Therefore it is stronly recommended to leave the tagname of tagmap entries of type “[7] Foreign Link” empty!

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.10

Enhancement RT55978

When a page that has no language set shall be translated or modified in a specific language, the user will now be informed that he has to set the page language first.
This will reduce the chance of users unexpectedly overwriting the page‘s content with another language.

Bugfix RT56107

Fixed possible NPE when running a multithreaded publish process, where pages needed to be published, because they were scheduled with the “publish at” action.

Bugfix RT55458

LDAP Login: Fixed LDAP login being case sensitive when using advanced groups and fixed SGB occuring when a LDAP group couldn‘t be found in GCN.

Bugfix RT55946

When uploading images using the REST API, some temporary files named imageio*.tmp were created and left open until the garbage collector would remove them.
This could lead to a “Too many open files” error. This has been fixed now, those temporary files are now removed as soon as they are no longer needed.

Bugfix RT55676

Fixed too strict security check when linking workflows to folders.
Before this fix, linking workflows to folders was only possibly, when the user had the permission to manage the workflows, now the permission to link workflows is sufficient.

Bugfix RT55756

If an online page is moved to a different folder and taken offline, it is now possible to create a new page having the same filename.
With this fix, it is possible to subsitute an online page with a new page having the same filename, even if a wastebin workflow moves the old page away and takes it offline instead of deleting it.

Bugfix RM11269

Setting references to other objects during an import has been fixed.
Before this fix, objects were possibly overwritten (even if they should not have been changed) and references could be lost during an import.

Bugfix RT55458

LDAP Login: Fixed the LDAP Advanced Groups feature not working, when the LDAP server (ie.: Microsoft Active Directory) doesn‘t have objectclass=groupofUniqueNames & “uniquemember“ enabled. In this case please enable the following feature in your node.conf:

$LDAP_LOGIN_FIELDS[“dontuse_uniquememberattribute”] = true;

Bugfix RT50562

Synchronizing the scrollbars in the translate page view did not work anymore and has been fixed.

Bugfix RT50562

The top menu was incorrectly positioned in the translate page view. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.9

Enhancement RT55980

The javascript error logging for the tagtype migration and template migration has been enhanced.

Bugfix RT55983

Various issues within the template migration / tagtype migration were fixed.

In some cases the log contained duplicate entries for migrated objects
The template migration did not update the status of migrated objects correctly. This resulted in log entries that indicated that the migration was still running although the migration was finished.
The status of currently active migrations was not shown within the ui. It is now no longer possible to invoke a migration when another one is currently being processed. Previously it was possible to invoke another migration job. This job would be queued and executed after the currently active job.
In some cases a generic error message was repeatedly shown when using chrome.
An additional status code was added. It is now possible to distinguish between jobs that completed and jobs that completed with warnings. A job may complete with warnings when some objects could not be locked or found.

Bugfix RT55933

Fixed a bug that prevented starting due scheduler jobs because of a database inconsistency.

Bugfix RT56053

When offline pages are imported, sometimes the pages are left in status “being edited“ instead of “offline” on the target system. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56056

Saving complex dependencies between objects sometimes failed due to insufficient space in a database column,
subsequently causing failure to the publish process. This column was adjusted accordingly. Also, publish log
entries were improved for removing objects from contentrepositories without multichannelling functionality.

Bugfix RT54768

Under some circumstances, page-editable template tags were previously not correctly inherited
when using multichanneling. Now a page created in a channel always inherits from the relevant
channel version of the template. Fixed in backend as well as in REST page/create.

Bugfix RT56028

The documentation about filesystem attributes has been extended to contain information about handling filesystem attributes in CRSync.

Bugfix RT55989

Publish runs that remove many objects from a content repository at once can lead to
idle database connections, which in certain circumstances could be closed during this
interval. The connections are now kept alive with the algorithm and configurable variable
described in Bugfix RT47489.

Bugfix RT55898

Fixed Permission Error when editing a page in a channel without permission to see the master node.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.17-commercial – 14.08.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.8

Enhancement RT55694

Various Oracle MySQL 5.6.12 compatibilty issues were resolved. For more information please check the compatibility list

Bugfix RT55959

Localizing a channel was erroneously bound to the “delete folder“ permission in the backend ui. Now the “create folder” permission is checked.

Bugfix RT55875

A feature “always_allow_page_create_variant” has been added to allow for backwards compatiblity for installations that rely on
the user‘s ability to create a page variant without edit permissions, a bug that has been fixed in RT54981 (5.12.18 and 5.13.5)

Bugfix RT56021

Aloha Editor – gcnfileupload plugin: Fixed the text color in the modal dialog being inherated from the page.

Bugfix RT55793

A bug has been fixed that prevented GCNJSAPI from editing tags in frontend mode. Also, the documentation
has been updated to clarify the scope of usefulness of $cms.rendermode.frontend and $cms.rendermode.backend

Bugfix RT55941

Fixed possible publish error for very long running publish processes when multithreaded publishing is used.

Bugfix RT55962

Before making an editable part “not editable”, the user will now be informed that all existing values for that part will be lost.

Bugfix RT55856

In order to avoid massively overblown log files, certain non-critical warnings
concerning objects that have previously been deleted are no longer included
in the publishing log.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.15-commercial – 09.08.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.7

Bugfix

Error messages emitted when calling unimplemented methods of the GCN JS API Node
objects will now have their arguments passed in the correct order.

Bugfix RT55854

Fixed possible multithreading problem when publishing pages into multichannelling content repository using multithreaded publishing.

Bugfix RT55390

Restoring certain forms (eg. folder or file properties) could lead to an SGB error due to an invalid attempt to recreate the form from the session. If data is missing now to re-create a form a new form will be generated.

Bugfix RT55744

Saving multiple tags with recursive callbacks, passed throw tag.save(), will no
longer result in only the first tag‘s changes being sent to the backend.

Bugfix RT55744

Chaining calls onto the edit() function will now results in the chained
functions being queued and processed in the correct order in which they are
called. Therefore `javascript tag.edit(onEdit).save(onSave)` will now correctly
invoke onEdit() first before calling onSave().

Bugfix RT55393

Fix possible SGB when pressing F5 in the browser while having the user form open.

Bugfix RT55706

Previously, if you didn‘t define a “macros“ part (or “template“ part) for a velocity part rendered by
another velocity part, the “macros“ part (or “template“ part) of the “outer“ velocity part would be
incorrectly inherited to the “inner“ velocity part for the duration of rendering.
Now, the velocity part only looks at the current tag when it is searching for a “macros“ part (or a
“template” part).

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.14-commercial – 31.07.2013

Mandatory tags: Fixed small typo in the error message when publishing a page.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.13-commercial – 24.07.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.5

Manual Change

A typo in the tag type migration post processor option name was fixed.

It was renamed from TAGTYPEMIGRATION_POSTPROCESSTORS to TAGTYPEMIGRATION_POSTPROCESSORS

Bugfix

When a file is renamed using the backend, and the entered new filename contains illegal characters, there will be no warning any more, but the illegal characters will be replaced in the same way as when uploading a new file.

Bugfix RT55600

Due to changes in permission handling, users without user administration rights were not able
to access several dialogs concerning their personal user settings. After this fix, access to
these settings now again depends on their correctly associated permissions only.

Bugfix RT52250

The table columns that will hold the check result of contentrepository have been increased to hold up to 4GB of data each.

Bugfix RT55307

When a file was to be published, and then deleted during the publish process, a failed constraint caused the publish run to fail.
This issue was fixed, and the described situation no longer causes a publisher failure.

Bugfix RT54981

A user will now need edit permission on a page in order to create a page variant of it.

Bugfix RT55188

The visual appearance of the log table header row has been changed.
Previously each row header was clickable in order to sort the elements.
The sorting of logs is not supported. The log column have been updated in order to visualize this limitation.

Bugfix RT54936

Fixed possible error in the publish process due to a lock on the table node (e.g. caused by an import process running at the same time).

Bugfix RT55485

Fix creation of user without a group due to not running (or not reachable) internal Tomcat.
Additionally prohibit login with a user that is not member of a single group.

Bugfix RT55503

When a user tries to publish a page that misses some mandatory tags, a message will now be shown, telling that the page could not be published.

Bugfix RT55716

A performance issue within the REST API folder/getPages method was resolved. It is now possible to add contenttags and objecttags references using the contenttags and objecttags query parameter.
Previously all contenttags and objecttags for the pages were returned. Additionally the referenced template also included all objecttags and templatetags. This issue affected 5.13.0 and newer versions.

Bugfix RT55642

Various issues in the Tag Type / Template Migration feature were fixed.

The documentation was improved.
The java doc of the api classes was enhanced.
An issue was resolved that caused empty logfiles for migration job logs.
When the migration feature was not licensed an appropriate message will be displayed.

Bugfix RT55618

Fixed the display of pages to be published/delayed on the start screen to not include pages in nodes, that have updating the filesystem/ContentRepository disabled.
Additionally, the nodes that have updating the filesystem/ContentRepository disabled will be marked in the maintenance dialog.

Bugfix RT55500

Fixed filename verification regular expression. It is now possible to include the following characters in filenames.
a-z A-Z 0-9 _ , . - ( ) [ ] { } $
Previously it was not possible to rename files to include those characters.
The file uploader already accepted those characters within a uploaded file.

Bugfix RT55269

Improved performance and added logging for dirt migration task (the task, that is done once after updating from Gentics Content.Node versions <= 5.12).

Bugfix RT55269

When a node is detached from a ContentRepository, the node data will be removed from the ContentRepository at the start of the next publish run instead of a separate maintenance task.
Removing the data is done more efficient now and will be done in single transactions per object, if the ContentRepository is configured to use instant publishing.

Bugfix RT55680

Fix bug that prevented publishing of pages that were dirted using the maintenance dialog when versioned publishing was disabled.

Bugfix RT55388

Fixed possible database lock during a publish run that could cause an error while deleting a file.

Bugfix RT55240

The REST API will now return an error when a folder create request publishdir field value contains more than 255 characters. Previously a generic database error would be returned.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.12-commercial – 04.07.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.4

Manual Change

Validation feature: Fixed special characters like umlauts in strings (eg.: filenames when uploading files), causing the strict AntiSamy validation to fail.

AntiSamy is now updated to version 1.5.2, which introduces a new setting “entityEncodeIntlChars” that can disable the encoding of special characters.

If you are using validation and have a antisamy.custom.xml file (probably in /Node/etc/), you have to add the following setting to it in order to fix the strict validation:

<directive name="entityEncodeIntlChars" value="false"/>

Bugfix RT54941

A race condition producing exceptions on concurrent database accesses (e.g. multithreaded page create REST calls) has been fixed.

Bugfix RT55242

Folder property dialog now disables the form fields and removes the OK button if you are not allowed to change the folder properties.

Bugfix RT55475

This fix improves visibility constraints for the tagmap editor if the user does not have permission
to access it by removing it from the menus of the contentrepository, thus avoiding permission exceptions.

Bugfix RT55394

Fixed saving pages not working when the magiclink tagtype “gtxalohapagelink“ was not linked to the node where the page is in.
When clicking “Save” in the menu it appearently didn‘t do anything.

Bugfix RT55451

Import/Export: Fixed the automatic export download system (via URL) not working anymore because the export system denies the connection.

Bugfix RT55217

Feature Live URLs: Fixed liveurl icon not being displayed in the page list sometimes.

Bugfix RT55328

When the data should be checked or repaired in a content repository and this caused an Exception (e.g. due to connection problems, an invalid URL, locking issues, ...), the task to do the checking/repairing remained in the dirtqueue until the problem was resolved.
This blocked all subsequent dirtqueue entries, including the publish process.
This behaviour has been fixed now, Exceptions thrown during the checking/repairing process will now be logged as result of the action (visible in the UI for the content repository) and the dirtqueue entry will be removed.

Bugfix RT55313

New object tags are now correctly prefilled with the default values of the underlying tagtype in the tag fill form.

Bugfix RT54461

The behavior of instant publishing was changed to disable immediate removal of deleted objects in ContentRepositories when deleting multiple objects at a time.

Bugfix RT55324

Overview: Fixed pages that were marked for publishing and then delayed in the “Maintenance”, not showing up
in overview listings when publishing the page again. The delay_publish value was not cleared when the page was published.

Bugfix RT54936

Long running imports caused some unnecessary locks in the DB, which caused problems while changing objects (pages, folders, ...), even if those objects were not touched by the import.
Those unnecessary locks will be avoided now, so that modification of unrelated objects or creation of new objects will be possible now.
It is however still the case that objects, which were modified by the import will be locked by the database until the import process finishes.

Bugfix RT55299

When listing the templates included in an export, the used SQL statement was very inperformant and could take a very long time.
This has been fixed now, display of templates is much faster now.

Bugfix RT55496

Fix possible not threadsafe usage of the database driver when using multithreaded publishing to write into several ContentRepositories during very long publish runs.

Bugfix RT55239

Creating files in the REST API where the number suffix (name_number.extension) in the given filename
exceeded maximum integer limits previously caused an exception. The algorithm calculating filename suggestions
for existing filenames has been improved to avoid these issues in the future.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.12-commercial – 04.07.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.3

When authenticating via REST API, Session secret cookies are now sent with the HttpOnly flag set.

If your setup only allows for HTTPS access to your backend and REST-API, you can enable the Secure flag
in session cookies by activating the “secure_cookie” feature.

Enhancement

It is now possible to resolve the stag prefix (‘/.Node/‘) and the proxy prefix within the custom form tag part using the following tags:

proxyprefix
stagprefix

Bugfix RT55346

When trying to save text values with more than 255 characters into a text (short) attribute of an MCCR datasource, the value will now be truncated (and a warning will be logged).
Before this fix, publishing too long values into a database, that does not automatically truncate (like Oracle) failed with an SQLException.

Bugfix RT55346

Improved the error handling for unchecked exceptions, that might be thrown while publishing into a content repository.

Bugfix RT55312

Aloha.GCN.openTagFill() would result in an error when trying to open it to edit
object tags, this behavior is now fixed.

Bugfix RT55158

It is now possible to save changes to a content object‘s cdate via the GCN JS
API

Bugfix RT55143

When a language variant of a page was synchronized with another language variant, and that other language variant was deleted afterwards, getting the page with its translation status using the REST API caused a NullPointerException. This has been fixed now.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.10-commercial – 05.06.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.2

Bugfix RT55127

Fixed possible DB locks during a publish process that caused problems when editing pages. This also fixes possible errors at the start of a publish process (because a lock could not be acquired).

Bugfix RT55299

When starting a multithreaded publish run, all tables were locked while connections were started, in order to get a 100% consistent state among those connections.
When some other SQL Statement was already running at the same time, this could lead to DB locks, and could subsequently freeze the whole CMS.
Therefore the tables will no longer be locked while starting the connections for a multithreaded publish run.

Bugfix RT55260

When using instant publishing, this possibly caused DB deadlocks while accessing the ContentRepository DB during a publish process.
This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT55143

When getting pages from a folder via the REST API with the inSync parameter set,
an exception was thrown if pages were synchronized with another page that could
no longer be found on the system (i.e. was deleted).

Bugfix RT55134

When using the Gentics Content.Node Javascript API and node.js to upload a File into a Channel, the File was uploaded into the Master Node instead.
This has been fixed now, uploading files into channels is now possible using node.js.

Bugfix RT55211

Aloha Editor – GCN linkbrowser plugin: Fixed href not being updated after selecting a page/file from the link browser.
Now the href will be set to a # when a GCN page or file is selected. This also fixes the link-plugin targetRegex setting not correctly working.

Bugfix RT54731

Fixed a minor bug that sometimes caused flag icons not to be shown for start pages set in a folder.

Bugfix RT55065

When exporting, export warnings were generated for excluded objects. This is fixed now, export warnings are generated only
for non-excluded object types.

Bugfix RT53937

Dependent pages were previously not dirted when a tag type was overwritten by an import. The new behaviour is to dirt all dependent
pages whenever a tag type is changed.

Bugfix RT53746

Links tags will have their anchor text cleaned before saving. This will ensure
that wai-lang attributes will be cleaned up from GCN magic link tag anchor text
before they are saved.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.10-commercial – 05.06.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.1

Enhancement

Added guide about migrating from Live Editor to Aloha Editor

Bugfix RT54935

Tag-fill: Fixed the object name not being displayed (eg.: pages, ...) in a tag URL-part under certain (rare) circumstances when using multichannelling.
This only happened when the page was created in a channel and was localized again in a subchannel of this channel.

Bugfix RT54771

GCN Rest API: Fixed /folder/getImages/ method returning images as type “file”.
This also broke displaying the image width & height in the repository Browser thumbnail preview.

Bugfix RT53175

When a local page inside a channel was translated and the language version did not exist yet,
a new page in the target language was created in the master node. This was not intended and
caused incorrect behaviour, and has been fixed now: the translation of a local page is now
local as well.

Bugfix

Fix the inability to set the startpage for new created folders over the page context menu.
Setting the startpage could duplicate the object tags of the folder, which could also lead to subsequent errors.

Bugfix RT54911

Pages were previously not dirted when only a template tag inside their template was changed,
but the template itself was unchanged. Now, a change in a tag or its values also properly triggers dirting.

Bugfix RT54078

Fix possible (but rare) NPE while finishing a multithreaded publish process.

Bugfix RT54954

Instant publishing: Fixed error messages being shown for none-critical problems like Velocity rendering errors.
Also fixed a Javascript error when the message included linebreaks.

Bugfix RT54620

When using instant publishing for a content repository, the (regular) publish process used to create a new connection for every published object.
This has been changed now, so that the publish process will open a single connection for every content repository, that is kept open while publishing, and only open a new transaction for every object, if instant publishing is used.

Bugfix RT54882

Previously it was not possible to create two pages with the same name in different channels of the same master node.
The same problem also appeared when creating two folders with the same name in different channels of the same master node.
Now, you can create pages or folders with the same name in different channels, as long as one channel is not a master of the other.

Bugfix RT54493

Corrected a previous fix for a NullPointerException in the publish process due to a synchronization problem.

Bugfix RT54509

Improved permission checks for error log, workflow administration and inbox messages.

Bugfix RM9990

Fixes an error that occurred during template migration when linking the target template with the folders linked with the source template.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.10-commercial – 05.06.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.13.0

Optional Manual Change

A potential security issue has been fixed.

Important: If you are using Gentics Portal.Node Java with the GCNAuthenticationManager (e.g. for frontend editing), you have to update it first, before updating Gentics Content.Node.

If you pass the session secret in the ?do=100 URL now, you will be redirected to the same URL without the session secret in the sid= parameter.
If your system setup is relying on this information in the URL (which it shouldn‘t) in any way, please enable the following feature in your GCN configuration:

$FEATURE[‘disable_sessionsecretredirect‘] = true;

This will keep the old behavior like in the previous GCN versions.
However, we don‘t recommend enabling this, use it at your own risk!

Optional Manual Change

This release of Gentics Content.Node contains all bugfixes from 5.12.12 and below.

Enhancement RM2239

The internal dirting mechanism has been changed. The new mechanism offers the following advantages:

It is now possible to dirt inherited objects for specific channels only. The old mechanism could only dirt the objects as a whole, so that the object would be re published for channels, which inherit it.
It is now possible to dirt online pages, even if they are currently edited (have status 0).
Dirting of objects of all types (pages, images, files, olders) now works the same way.
During the publish run, it is no longer necessary to access the (ever growing) logcmd table, which improves the performance.
The new mechanism is less prone to problems with changes that happen during a publish run.

After the update, the system will have one additional maintenance task scheduled (that will be performed before the next publish run). This maintenance task will migrate the currently dirted objects to the new mechanism.

Additionally, the maintenance dialog has been improved:

It will now also show the number of currently dirted files and folders (per node/channel).
It will show the number of currently dirted objects also per channel and it is possible to use any of the maintenance tools for objects of a channel.
The controls have been slightly improved to show more compact information.

GCN JS API‘s pubsub message channels and guides have been improved.

Although still available for backwards compatibility, the following channels
are deprecated with this change:

content-inserted
content-rendered
authentication-required
authenticated
session-set

The following message are new:

session.authentication-required
session.authenticated
session.sid-set
tag.inserted
tag.rendered
tag.rendered-for-editing
tag.before-deleted
page.before-saved
page.before-published
folder.before-saved

Enhancement RT53533

The new optional feature “move_perm_with_edit“ will modify the necessary permission for moving pages, images and files.
If the feature is off, users will need to have the “delete“ permission in the source folder, which is the same behavior as before this enhancement.
If the feature is on, users will need to have the “edit“ permission in the source folder for moving objects to other folders.
In all cases, users will need to have the “create” permission in the target folder.

Enhancement

The minified version of the Gentics Content.Node Javascript API will now be used within Gentics Content.Node. Previously only a concatenated version was used.

Enhancement

The template and tagtype migration feature was added to Gentics Content.Node. This feature allow the node administrator to migrate pages using a predefined mapping. More information about the feature can be found within the guides.

Bugfix

The internal storage of objects, that can be localized (using multichannelling) has been modified.
Before this fix, objects (pages, folders, templates, files and images) were initially created with channelset_id = 0. When the objects were localized, a new channelset_id was assigned.
This caused some additional overhead in handling channelset_ids and could cause some problems. Therefore, when objects are created, they will immediately get a non-zero channelset_id.
Also this update will change all existing objects to have a non-zero channelset_id.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.13-commercial – 24.07.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.19

Manual Change

It is now possible to deactivate tags using the GCN JS API. Newly created tags

will be automatically activated, but before the page is saved, that tag can be
deactivated.

When a user tries to publish a page that misses some mandatory tags, a message will now be shown, telling that the page could not be published.

Bugfix RT55500

Bugfix RT55269

Bugfix RT55388

Fixed possible database lock during a publish run that could cause an error while deleting a file.

Bugfix RT55240

The REST API will now return an error when a folder create request publishdir field value contains more than 255 characters. Previously a generic database error would be returned.

Bugfix RT55496

Fix possible not threadsafe usage of the database driver when using multithreaded publishing to write into several ContentRepositories during very long publish runs.

Bugfix RT55239

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.12-commercial – 04.07.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.16

When authenticating via REST API, Session secret cookies are now sent with the HttpOnly flag set.

If your setup only allows for HTTPS access to your backend and REST-API, you can enable the Secure flag
in session cookies by activating the “secure_cookie” feature.

Bugfix RT55346

Improved the error handling for unchecked exceptions, that might be thrown while publishing into a content repository.

Bugfix RT55312

Aloha.GCN.openTagFill() would result in an error when trying to open it to edit
object tags, this behavior is now fixed.

Bugfix RT55158

It is now possible to save changes to a content object‘s cdate via the GCN JS
API

Bugfix RT55143

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.10-commercial – 05.06.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.15

Bugfix RT55127

Fixed possible DB locks during a publish process that caused problems when editing pages. This also fixes possible errors at the start of a publish process (because a lock could not be acquired).

Bugfix RT55299

Bugfix RT55260

When using instant publishing, this possibly caused DB deadlocks while accessing the ContentRepository DB during a publish process.
This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT55143

Bugfix RT55134

Bugfix RT55211

Bugfix RT54731

Fixed a minor bug that sometimes caused flag icons not to be shown for start pages set in a folder.

Bugfix RT55065

When exporting, export warnings were generated for excluded objects. This is fixed now, export warnings are generated only
for non-excluded object types.

Bugfix RT53937

Dependent pages were previously not dirted when a tag type was overwritten by an import. The new behaviour is to dirt all dependent
pages whenever a tag type is changed.

Bugfix RT53746

Links tags will have their anchor text cleaned before saving. This will ensure
that wai-lang attributes will be cleaned up from GCN magic link tag anchor text
before they are saved.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.10-commercial – 05.06.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.14

Optional Manual Change

A potential security issue has been fixed.

Important: If you are using Gentics Portal.Node Java with the GCNAuthenticationManager (e.g. for frontend editing), you have to update it first, before updating Gentics Content.Node.

$FEATURE[‘disable_sessionsecretredirect‘] = true;

This will keep the old behavior like in the previous GCN versions.
However, we don‘t recommend enabling this, use it at your own risk!

Bugfix RT55042

Accessing a page or a folder from the history on the start screen caused an error in the tree
if the action was issued directly at the start of a session. This issue has been fixed.

Bugfix RT54882

Bugfix RT54493

Corrected a previous fix for a NullPointerException in the publish process due to a synchronization problem.

Bugfix RT54509

Improved permission checks for error log, workflow administration and inbox messages.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.10-commercial – 05.06.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.13

Bugfix RT54935

Bugfix RT54771

GCN Rest API: Fixed /folder/getImages/ method returning images as type “file”.
This also broke displaying the image width & height in the repository Browser thumbnail preview.

Bugfix RT53175

Bugfix

Bugfix RT54911

Bugfix RT54078

Fix possible (but rare) NPE while finishing a multithreaded publish process.

Bugfix RT54954

Instant publishing: Fixed error messages being shown for none-critical problems like Velocity rendering errors.
Also fixed a Javascript error when the message included linebreaks.

Bugfix RT54620

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.9-commercial – 29.05.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.12

Bugfix RT54157

When creating a new channel, the root folder will now get its object properties set identical to the object properties of the immediate parent node.

Bugfix RT54821

Fixed possible SGB when creating new folders.

Bugfix RT54602

Old values in tags which already existed on the target system, but have been changed since, were
not removed properly during import, resulting in duplicate entries. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT54717

The src url of the preview image in Image Editing Tool will no longer be a
broken url when cropping or resizing the image in front-end editing through a
proxy. The proxy prefix will now be prepended to the preview image‘s url.

Bugfix RT54853

On pages where the dir=“rtl” attribute is specified for languages that read from right to left, the GCN menu wasn‘t displayed correctly sometimes if the menu entry contained special characters. This is now fixed.

Bugfix RT53854

Editing pages: Fixed the error “GCN ERROR (AJAX_ERROR)” sometimes occuring when doing another action after a previous one too fast (eg.: Editing a page and then immediately publishing it).

Bugfix RT51839

Folders that were fetched using the GCN JS API‘s FolderAPI.folders() method will
now have their tags available when they are needed.

Bugfix RT54501

Fixed instant publishing of folders when the folder startpage was set the first time using the page context menu.
Before this fix, instant publishing of the folder was only triggered when the startpage was set using the object properties dialog, or when the startpage was changed.

Bugfix RT54794

Reduced the memory consumption when deleting big folder structures to avoid possible OutOfMemory situations e.g. when deleting nodes that contain many folders.

Bugfix RT54157

The root folder of a channel was missing the object properties, that are assigned to the master node. Only the object properties that are available to all nodes were possible to use.
This has been fixed now. The root folder of a channel will now have the same object properties available as any other folder of the channel (and the master node).

Bugfix RT54491

When using quick recursive translation to create language variants, an issue in caching
caused newly created pages not to be displayed in the page list. This has been fixed.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.8-commercial – 16.05.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.11

Bugfix RT50917

The object lists for localizable objects (folders, pages, templates, files and images) in channels have a column Master that should show the name of the node, to which the master object belongs to.
This column however showed the name of the node, the displayed object belongs to, which made channel-local and localized objects indistinguishable.
This has been fixed now, the Master column will now show the current channel for channel-local objects and the name of the node/channel, where the master object belongs to for localized objects.

Bugfix RT53076

When a page with page variants is published, the page variants also get new page versions created. Due to a caching error, it sometimes happened, that although a new version was created for the page variants, the next publish process rendered the older version of the page variant.
This has been fixed now, so that when a page variants gets a new version created, the cache will always be cleared and that new version will always be published during the next publish run.

Bugfix RT54411

When a user or a group was deleted in Gentics Content.Node, it was not deleted in the todo tool during synchronization. Also, deleting
a group did not trigger synchronization at all. Both issues have been fixed.

Bugfix RT52737

Pagination was added for content tags and template tags when using the repository browser.
It is now possible to navigate through and choose from multiple pages of tags in a tag fill.

Bugfix RT50917

Several issues in the export selection dialog have been fixed:

When exporting objects from channels, the node name of the master object of localized or local objects will now be shown.
In some circumstances, images or files were shown multiple times in the list of exported objects. This has been fixed now.
Objects shown in the list of exportable objects will now also be sorted by name, if they are sorted by another attribute (e.g. when they are sorted by type).

Bugfix RT54298

Internet Explorer 8, in “Browser Mode: IE8“ / “Document Mode:IE7-Standards”,
will no longer warn that a script is taking a long time to complete when
initializing an page that contains many tags.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.7-commercial – 02.05.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.10

Manual Change

The implementation of the Aloha Editor Page Link Tagtype in the guides contained an error. This erroneous implementation caused multiple problems when editing pages containing links, among them the inability to remove the links. It is strongly recommended to update the implementation for the Aloha Editor Page Link tagtype according to the updated guides example.

Bugfix RT50986

When using the old minibrowser (that is still used when the feature multichannelling is not turned on) in the tag fill dialog, when doing a search, any modified entries in the form fields were lost.
This has been fixed now, using the search in the minibrowser will preserve any changes in the form fields now.

Bugfix RT54526

When exporting a folder that contains a template, which is never used and templates were generally excluded, the template cause an unresolvable conflict on the target system, if it did not exist there.
This is not necessary, since the template would only have been exported, because it is assigned to the exported folder, and not because it is used by a page.
The behaviour of exlusion has been modified now: Excluded objects will only create unresolvable conflicts, if they are really used by objects and not only assigned to folders or nodes.

Bugfix RT54220

File upload: Fixed the button in the fallback file uploader (JS-uploader) not being clickable in IE 7 and IE 8.

Bugfix RT54671

GCN JS API Frontend editing: Fixed javascript error when frontend editing is done without loading a page.

Bugfix RT54614

This change fixes a JS error that sometimes occurred when replacing tags via Javascript in Internet Explorer 8, caused by missing HTML closing tags.

Bugfix RT54591

Export: Fixed SGB error occuring when selecting a object type in the Administration/Content.Admin and no objects of this type have been selected.
Also fixed SGB occuring when viewing files in the administration, independent of if files have been selected or not.

Bugfix RT54220

File upload: Fixed the file uploader not working when the flash version was too old.
It now always correctly falls back to the Javascript uploader in this case.

Bugfix RT54671

GCN JS API Frontend editing: Fixed “callback is undefined” javascript error.

Bugfix RT54489

Fixed problems when using instant publishing and multichannelling: When objects were localized, the localized copies were instantly written into the content repository, but the former inherited object was not instantly removed.
When localized copies were deleted, they were also instantly removed from the content repository, but the inherited object was not instantly written into the content repository.
The behaviour has been fixed now, so that always either the localized copy or the inherited object is present in the content repository (exclusively).

Bugfix RT54628

Page languages: Fixed setting the language of a page using “Set page language“ added a language code to the filename, even when the feature “contentgroup3_pagefilename” was set to false.

Bugfix RT54653

Fixed i18n translation not working when GCN throws a SGB error.

Bugfix RT54661

Multithreading: Fixed a rare issue in which concurrent access to a translation table could cause publish workers to get stuck.

Bugfix RT54264

When creating, saving or publishing pages using the REST API using multiple threads or clients, a database deadlock could occur while creating page versions.
When this happened, some of the REST API requests failed and the changes made by them were rolled back.
This deadlock situations have been fixed now, so it is now possible to create, save and publish pages in a multithreaded manner without any database deadlock problems.

Bugfix RT54684

Fixed possible DB locks during a publish process, when instant publishing and the feature contentfile_auto_offline were used together.

Bugfix RT54424

Fixed reloading the tree, when a new folder is created.

Bugfix RT54723

Fixed a bug tied to menu permissions which caused a system error when viewing the languages of a node.

Bugfix RT54696

Fixed handling exclusion/inclusion of templates in the new export.
When a folder is exported that contains a template and templates are generally excluded, but the template is included, the template was show as being exported, but was marked as excluded in the export file.
This has been fixed now, when an object is marked as included, it will always really be included in the export.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.7-commercial – 02.05.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.9

Bugfix RT53236

Multichannelling: Fixed multiple bugs when linking templates from channels to other folders.
Fixed the template link function allowing linking templates to folders that shouldn‘t be linkable.
Now it‘s not possible anymore to link templates to localized folders. In channels, templates can only be linked to local folders or folders of the master node.
It‘s also not possible anymore to link local templates from channels to other nodes.
Also fixed that linking localized templates to other node folders didn‘t work correctly. Now it correctly links the master template, and not the localized template.
More information on the multichannelling feature can be found in the GCN guides.

Bugfix RT54493

Fixed a possible NullPointerException during the publish run due to a rare threading problem.

Bugfix RT54580

Export: Added back missing images to the left assistent sidebar

Bugfix RT53095

Publishing of page variants together (with a single request) did not work and always resulted in an error message due to a database lock.
This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT54017

With this fix there is no longer an error if a folder object property is applied to subfolders where duplicate properties exist.
Instead, the inconsistency is cleaned up at this point.

Bugfix RT54423

Page time management: Fixed SGB occuring when setting a date with a year above 2037.
The highest year setable in GCN is 2037.

Bugfix RT54074

SQL cursors were sometimes not closed properly after an exception in the database has occurred. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT54540

Fixed a bug that caused incorrect rendering of static URLs in projects, that publish only into a content repository, but not into the filesystem.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.6-commercial – 18.04.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.8

Bugfix RT53896

File Upload Manipulator: Fixed the timeouts for accessing the FUM-URL being too short.
Before the fix, accessing the FUM sometimes resulted in a socket-timeout.
The timeout for establishing the connection has now been set to 5000ms and the timeout for reading the FUM response has been set to 15000ms.
Additionally, the exception-logging on FUM errors has been improved.

Bugfix RT54320

If an import references an object (like a URL or an image) that does not exist on the target system,
this reference no longer points to another target on the system, but is set to be empty until the
referred object is added.

Bugfix RT54386

GCN JS API: Fixed the page property object “timeManagement” not being writeable.
It is now writable, see the GCN JS API page documentation.

Bugfix RT54273

Because of an issue in the GCN JS API, it was sometimes not possible
to insert Javascript into a tag in live editing mode when using Firefox.
This fix corrects this behaviour.

Bugfix RT54499

Mandatory tags: Fixed possible error occuring when publishing a page with a mandatory tag that has a missing value.
Also fixed that tags appears multiple times in the error message.

Bugfix RT52367

Pages preview: Fixed broken menu when following a content link to another page in GCN.
The menu now also works when going to a new page. Also going from this new page to the folder view works now correctly.

Bugfix RT54424

Fixed a bug that that caused the create folder dialog to be redisplayed after creating a new folder (instead of returning to the page list of the parent folder).

Bugfix RT50850

When pages were moved between nodes, in some scenarios the page was not removed from the published filesystem of the source node.
This has been fixed now. When pages are moved out of a node, that publishes into the filesystem, the page will no longer be written into the filesystem for that node.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.6-commercial – 18.04.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.7

Enhancement RT54143

A performance issue with the overview part type was resolved. In some cases the part type would render multiple times slower than expected.

Bugfix

Fixed closing database connections at the end of a multithreaded publish run.
Under special circumstances, it could happen, that some database connections were left open for too long, which possibly could lead to too many open database connections.

Bugfix RT54304

After confirming the folder properties dialog the correct folder will be highlighted in the tree when using Multichannelling.

Bugfix RT54240

Added missing guides documentation for appendBlock() Gentics Aloha Content.Node
Intergration Plugin API method.

Bugfix RT53383

Fixed an incorrect title in the todo tool.

Bugfix RT51491

Saving a page will now automatically strip all tags from it‘s name, e.g. ”Very important page“ will be changed to “Very important page” when saving.

Bugfix RT54164

Removed a permissions check when using the ‘show usage‘ function since users are only shown results for objects they have permission to view anyway. This resolves an error that caused an SGB to be shown when results for the ‘show usage‘ search contained entries in folders the user did not have permission to view.

Bugfix RT54269

An issue with navigation via history and quickjump was solved which caused node-information not to be passed.
Sometimes this led to wrong tag-types being available when editing pages.

Bugfix RT54332

Added indexes on the folder table to increase performance for multichannelling-enabled systems when looking up tree permissions.

Bugfix RT54258

Opening the tree to show a specific folder (e.g. because the preview of a page in a different than the current folder was shown) was done inefficiently and could take a long time.
In extreme cases, this could lead to a blank frame shown instead of the tree.
The performance of opening the tree has been improved now, so that blank frames should not happen any longer.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.5-commercial – 11.04.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.6

Bugfix RT54334

Fixed possible data inconsistencies with scheduler tasks.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.4-commercial – 04.04.2013

Groups of translators in the todo-tool are now sorted alphabetically to match the view in the administration tree.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.4-commercial – 04.04.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.4

Bugfix RT53984

The gcn-plugin will now also insert leading and following paragraphs for Contenttags with an inline element (e.g. span) as it‘s root tag, to enable editors to add contents before or after this tag.

Bugfix

Fixed JavaScript error “Cannot read property ‘tagname‘ of undefined gcnjsapi.js:5905”
that occured when saving a page after creating a new link.

Bugfix RT54173

A bug was fixed that caused errors when editing image-URLs in tagtypes, if no node was previously selected.

Bugfix RT50864

Fixed an inconsistency that occurred when creating and editing templates. When adding template tags, a check is now performed to ensure that the tag type being used is also linked with the template‘s node. Previously all template tags were automatically linked with a default construct, which on some systems had been deleted. This led to errors while exporting to other systems since the template had a dependency that could not be resolved if the default tag type was no longer available.

Bugfix RT54207

Previously, if the user selected a language and then changed to a node in which this
language was not activated, newly created pages would wrongly be created with this locale.
After this fix, the first active language of the node is used instead.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.3-commercial – 22.03.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.3

Bugfix RT54125

Added an automatic reset of old (and no longer necessary) FTP node settings that have been leftover from older systems (those that have been updated from a version prior to Gentics Content.Node 5.4.0).

Bugfix RT53835

GCN JS API, TagAPI.removeTag(): Fixed the callbacks not getting called correctly.
Also fixed the documentation. You can only pass the keyword of a tag in here, not an Id.

Bugfix RT54130

Fixed possible DB Lock Timeout when using instant publishing and an object was published during a long running publish process.

Bugfix RT54117

Fixed a problem with paging when skipping to the last page of a list of items that would cause a list of empty items to be displayed.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.3-commercial – 22.03.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.2

Bugfix RT53746

This fix allows HTML-formatted text (like abbreviations or text-decorations) to be stored inside the text-field of a link, when using the Aloha-Editor plugin.

Bugfix RT53839

A caching-issue was fixed that prevented custom sort orders for overview-tags to be updated correctly.

Bugfix RT53943

Node list: Fixed the creator and the last editor of a node not being shown in the black tooltip.

Bugfix

This fix solves a temporary issue in the image-manipulation-plugin, which made it impossible to save changes to the image.

Bugfix RT53935

GCN JS API: Fixed the tag.part() (prop) function overwriting the part value with ‘undefined‘ and returning ‘undefined‘.
It now correctly returns the value again when not passing a value to set as second argument.

Bugfix RT54003

Removed unnecessary attributes “text“, “cls“, “iconCls“ and “leaf“ from the Template model class.
Before this fix, loading templates with the Java REST API client failed with: org.codehaus.jackson.map.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException: Unrecognized field “text” (Class com.gentics.contentnode.rest.model.Template), not marked as ignorable.

Bugfix RT53921

Uploading images via the multifileupload now works even if the image does not contain JFIF-information. In this case, default values for DPI are assumed.

Bugfix RT54011

Lists: Fixed a bug where the list filtering did not work anymore, introduced with GCN 5.12.0.
This problem occured among others in the object property list, the scheduler, datasources and import/export.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.2-commercial – 15.03.2013

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.1

Bugfix

Fixed a SQL statement of the update process, which possibly failed.

Bugfix RM6321

A warning notification will now be displayed next to the href field of the Aloha
Link plugin when it is detected that the href value may unintentionally result
in an potentially invalid internal link.

Bugfix RT53850

Added further log output when an error is encountered when rending tags, specifically for the case when an endtag has no corresponding opening tag, the name of the tag in question will now also be logged.

Bugfix RT53460

Fixed a problem with tags being sometimes duplicated when viewing template sourcecode.

Bugfix RT52133

The documentation for the Custom Form Part Type was corrected. The correct name for the variable that is used to retrieve the html entity of a form is nodevalue.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.1-commercial – 2013/03/07

Gentics Content.Node 5.12.0

Please note that this release contains strict database checks. The update may fail when existing database inconsistencies are detected.

Manual Change

The Gentics Update site was changed with this update in order to provide the new Feature Releases.

It is now possible to configure separate node publish directories for pages and binaries (images and files).
All existing nodes will initially have the same publish directories set, so existing implementations will not change.

It is important to note, that if an implementation directly uses the property pubdir_ of a node object for files or images, this should be changed to use the new property pubdir_bin_.
Otherwise the implementation would fail if separate publish directories are used.

Enhancement RM6727

It is now possible to flag template tags as “mandatory” and thereby force editors to fill all their required parts before the page in which they are in can be published.

Enhancement RM5973

Added a MessageAPI interface to the GCN JS API.
This interface contains the following new methods:
MessageAPI.send(), MessageAPI.list(), MessageAPI.read()

More information about this new interface can be found in the Gentics Content.Node Guides

Enhancement RM6214

Implemented the feature “live_urls”.
The feature can be enabled in the configuration with $FEATURE[‘live_urls‘] = true;

More information about this new feature can be found in the Gentics Content.Node Guides

Enhancement RM6734

Improved part() method of tag objects in GCN JS API to be able to change select and multiselect parts values by receiving strings, arrays, as well as objects.

Bugfix RT53474

When a non-editable block-element is inserted into an Aloha editable, an empty helper-paragraph is inserted at the beginning and/or end of the editable.
Previous to this hotfix, these helpers were not correctly removed / cleaned up if the page was saved while an active focus was still inside the editable element.

Bugfix RT53706

Avoid checking and generation of global IDs for tables, that contain data, that is not exported.
Especially checking for global IDs of table perm could take very long and could possibly interfer with normal CMS operations for some time after the Tomcat is restarted.

Bugfix

A javascript error was fixed that occured when the folder upload tag part was shown in a tagfill dialog that was opened within the frontend edting mode.

Bugfix RT53477

Fixed premature publishing of pages that were created and then moved (without being published before)
in a node that published into a content repository with instant publishing enabled.

Bugfix RT53635

Fixed instant publishing of objects, that were localized in channels.
Before this fix, the objects were rendered in the scope of their master node, not the channel.
This caused e.g. URLs to be wrong, because they contained the hostname of the master and not the channel.
The incorrect data in the content repository of the channel was automatically corrected during the following publish run.

Bugfix RT53506

When comparing the current page version with the last published version,
the comparison now falls back to a previously published version if the current
version is unchanged since it was last published, so that the page is not
compared to itself.

Bugfix RT53596

Page list sorting: Fixed SGB occuring when ordering the list by page variations.
This could only happen when the feature “pageusage_variants” was enabled.
The page list, template list and folder list will now always use the Rest-API for loading the data.
Previously the Rest-API was only used when multichannelling was enabled.

Bugfix RT53758

Publishing pages in channels into the filesystem did not work correctly, when multithreaded publishing was used. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RM7332

A permission check within the node properties dialog was fixed. Previously some users experienced an SGB error when trying to edit the properties of a previously created channel.

Bugfix RT53383

Fixed the language selection in the Todo-Tool. It now correctly displays only
the languages activated in the active node, and does so in the order specified
in the node by the custom sort order.
Additionally, synchronizing users, groups and languages now works with
significantly increased performance.

Bugfix RT53046

Images and files are now handled separately in the REST-API (and the corresponding GCN JS API), which means file load requests can only be made with file IDs. Previously, file load requests could be made with image IDs to return the file properties of images.

Bugfix RT52865

Fixed a performance issue while editing or publishing pages containing many (several hundred or thousand) tags, or having many language variants.
Due to inefficient sql statements while clearing the cache for modified pages, e.g. filling a page tag or publishing the page could take very long.

Bugfix RT53378

An error in rendering the URLs of files published to content repositories was fixed so that whether or not the links are stored with or without the hostname is now done as configured with Linkway.

Bugfix RT47489

Fixed possible timeout problems when publishing into a content repository in a very long running transaction.
When publishing into a content repository without using “instant publishing“, a database connection is opened at the beginning, which will be used during the whole publish process.
There may be situations, where specific connections are not used for a long time (e.g. when many objects have to be published into another content repository), which may cause the database server (or any networking component in between the client and the server) to close the connection.
To fix this, the publish process will regularly issue “dummy” SQL statements to all connections to content repository databases, if they were not used for longer than the configured time span.
The interval can be configured in the variable $CONTENTMAP_KEEPALIVE_INTERVAL (in seconds), the default value is 3600 (1 hour).

Bugfix RT53265

Fixed the sorting of folder names requested over the Rest API to correctly handle German special characters, which is relevant for features such as the Repository Browser.

Bugfix RT53199

A small error in the todo-tool was fixed that occurred during mouse-over of lists because of missing tooltip functionality.

Bugfix RT53375

Media archive image import: Fixed SGB occuring after selecting an image in the media archive and returning to the tagfill dialog.

Bugfix RT53018

Fixed a possible NullPointerException when using Multithreaded Publishing into ContentRepositories.

Bugfix

The included profiler webapp file was renamed from profiler.war to Profiler.war. This also fixes the access path for the profiler from /profiler to /Profiler.

In order to access the profiler, the path /Profiler must be added to the JkMounts of the apache configuration.

The profiler webapp is secured with basic authentication for the roles manager or gentics. In order to gain access, the application server must be configured for basic authentication, e.g. by adding an appropriate user in /Node/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml

Bugfix RT52759

Fixed the two-column-menu, which is shown if the list of menu entries would not fit inside the browser-window, to be moved to the left if it would exceed the width of the frame otherwise.

Bugfix RT52692

A workaround for a Microsoft SQL JDBC Driver issue was applied. Previously the publish process would stall when publishing directly in a Content.Repository that needed column changes. (eg. new quick columns)

Bugfix RT53391

After a change in the messaging-system, confirmation-alerts were displayed even after successful actions. This was reworked to suppress alerts on success in order to improve usability.

Bugfix RT52849

Node languages: Fixed a rare case where the language could not be sorted anymore, when it had a sortorder of 0.
Also enhanced the listing order. Activated language will be listed at the beginning now.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.23.0-commercial – 2013/02/12

Bugfix RT52634

Creating multiple folders and pages in a batch run using the GCN JS API nolonger results in content objects having wrong names, properties, and tags.

Bugfix RT53183

Fixed changing the publish directory of a folder by saving it using the REST API or the GCN JS API.Before this fix, the publish directory of the saved folder was not changed.

Bugfix RT52346

Added missing i18n translations for ‘Keyword‘ property when editing Tagtype properties.

Bugfix RT53148

Fixed the dependency calculation & dirting of objects not correctly working for overview-tags with recursive folders.In some cases it didn‘t dirt & re-publish the overview, when a new object in a subfolder that is listed in the overview was published.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.22.7 – 2013/01/08

Gentics Content.Node 5.11.2

Bugfix RT53018

Fixed a possible NullPointerException when using Multithreaded Publishing into ContentRepositories.

Bugfix

Fixed initialization of Aloha Editor for frontend editing

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.22.7 – 2013/01/08

Gentics Content.Node 5.11.1

Manual Change

The login url for sso logins was changed within the Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API

The JavaScript API method loginWithSSO now uses the rest API url /rest/auth/ssologin Previously the /rest/auth/login url was used.See Authentication methods for REST API for more information.

Enhancement

Added method /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/ssologin as alternative to /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/login, so that the SSO filters can be mapped to /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/ssologinand login by posting user credentials to /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/login is still possible.

Enhancement RT52864

Improved documentation for gtxalohapagelink (http://www.gentics.com/Content.Node/guides/aloha_gcn_alohapagelink.html) as suggested.Now the class attribute won‘t be added if empty.

Enhancement

Refactored the global JavaScript object named GCN to GCNREST in tagfill and object tag dialogs. This internal object would provide the Repository Browser with access to the REST backend services,creating a naming conflict with the GCN JS API. The GCN JS API may now be used in tagfill andobject property dialogs using a custom form tag, as the naming conflict is resolved with this change.

Bugfix RT52830

A bug within the custom form tagpart node tag parsing was fixed. Previously the node tags within the source of a custom form tag were only parsed when a custom form tag was editied within a page. It is now also possible to use node tags within the context of object properties for folders, pages, templates, files and images. Please note that only a small subset of tags can be evaluated when viewing the tag type within the tag type edit dialog due to the missing context of a page, file, template, image, folder.

Bugfix RT50625

Under certain preconditions, fields of page properties stayed empty. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT51051

When viewing the tooltip for the tagtype-part URL, two overlapping tooltips were sometimes shown. Furthermore, when more than one parts with the type URL were present, only the first showed a tooltip. This has been corrected, and only one tooltip is shown at any time.

Bugfix RT52634

When multiple pages were created in the same script using the GCN JS API, the PageAPI were indistinguishable and e.g. tags created in them could get mixed up.This has been fixed now, so that it is now possible to create multiple pages in the same script.

Bugfix RT52746

Fixed check for duplicate node names and hostname/publish directory settings when creating or updating nodes.Before this fix, the create/update operation was not done, but no error was shown either.

Bugfix RT52290 RT52043

Fixed dirting of dependent objects when the filename of a file or image was changed using the backend properties dialog.

Bugfix RT52759

Fixed a problem with menu-items being unreachable on small screens or in large lists. If a submenu has more content than can be shown inside the browser window, menu-items are now arranged in a two-column-design.

Bugfix RT52712 RT52660

When exporting objects, for which no global IDs have been generated, a NullPointerException was thrown (and the export failed). This has been fixed now to throw a more descriptive error message (including the object name and id).Additionally, every time the server is started, missing global IDs are generated in a background job.

Bugfix RT52259 RT52605

Inserting tags into editables using the Internet Explorer sometimes moved the selection into a non-editable area in the tag. As a result, when another tag was insertedwith the incorrect set selection, the new tag was inserted into the other tag, not into the editable area.This has been fixed now, when tags are inserted with an invalid selection, the selection will first be corrected to be in a proper place (after the non-editable area).

Bugfix RT52368

When $FEATURE[“logout_page”] is set to a URL and multiple browser-windows are used at once, there was a problem when the user logged out of the system in one window and tried to continue browsing ~~in that case, the logout~~page was only shown in the current frame. After the fix, logout-pages are always displayed in the whole page.

Bugfix RT51642

Fixed the “maximize tree”-icon in the GCN tree frame not being at a fixed position and therefore was probably not visible if the treewas not scrolled to top.

Bugfix

The edit() method within the Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API was fixed to correctly render tags onto elements when a class name isspecified as the selector rather than an id. Previously the edit() method would not work when a css selector was used to select the dom element that should be edited.

Bugfix RT52762

When translating a page into another language (which was not created before), the translation split-screen view showed a diff instead of the current page to be translated (in the upper frame).This has been fixed now. The diff view will only be shown, if the translation was synchronized with an older version of the page and is continued now.

Bugfix RT52573

A permission check within the rest api login method was fixed. Previously it was possible to login when the maintenance mode was enabled. Now login is only allowed for users that can enable/disable the maintenance mode.

Bugfix RT52987

Ensure that content tags are created for external links as well as internal links.

Bugfix RT52964

Ensured that clicking on an internal link will result in the floating menuand/or sidebar to be shown appropriately — even if the editable inwhich the linkis rendered is inside an aloha block.

Bugfix RT52776

Fixed an error that occurred when uploading files with special characters in the filename.

Bugfix RT51911

Added missing german translation for “add elements” when selecting objects in a overview tag

Bugfix RT52516

Fixed confirmation-alerts in the context-menu to be displayed for critical actions like delete or publish, and omitted otherwise.

Bugfix RT52876

Fixed user/profile form stating that the description must be not empty in the tooltip.

Bugfix RT52751

Fixed rendering order of pages in page overviews, where the pages are selected and sorted manually.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.22.7 – 2013/01/08

Gentics Content.Node 5.11.0

Enhancement

The cas login functionallity was enhanced. It is now possible to add a cas post login handler that allows the modification of the user and the assigned groups.See HTTP Auth SSO Configuration for more information.

Enhancement RT52344

It is now possible to sync Gentics Content.Node user-groups with CAS-SSO. After creating the user, the groups will be syncronized between CAS-Server and Gentics Content.Node.See Authentication methods for REST API for more information.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.22.6 – 2012/12/06

Gentics Content.Node 5.10.0

Enhancement RM5826 RT52022

An additional column was added to the page publish queue. The node name will now be listed within the publish queue.

Enhancement RT51756

When filtering pages using the REST API or using the page list in the Gentics Content.Node backend, it was not possible to filter pages with status “Publish At”(pages that are scheduled to be published at a specific point in time in the future). This has been fixed now.

Enhancement

The new feature crfilesystem_attributes_ allows publishing specific tagmap entries into contentrepository attributes that are stored in the filesystem.The feature is disabled by default.

Enhancement RT52622

When using the new export mechanism to export a construct that used a datasource (in a part) with datasources generally excluded, but the single datasource included, the datasourcewas excluded from the export but should have been included. This has been fixed now, so that objects that are manually included are exported in all cases, even if the type has been excluded.

Enhancement RT51974

When a user did not have create permission for pages in any of his groups, but had the create permission for all languages in at least one of his roles, copying pages failedwith a SGB. This is fixed now, so that the user will now be able to copy pages.

Enhancement RT5682

Adding validation of editables before saving. If validation is enabled, validation will be performed on all editable at the offset of the savingprocess. If any editable fails validation, the saving process will be aborted with an error message.

Bugfix RT51972

The creation of page versions has been improved to be much faster, even if the page already has many versions. This increases the performance of saving and publishing the page via Java (REST API).

Bugfix RT52491

At the start of every publish process, that SQL statements issued to detect, when a specific node was published the last time were very inefficient and slow, becausethey used the very large table logcmd.The implementation has now been changed to store the timestamp of the last publish run for a specific node in the table ‘node‘ instead, which will decrease thetime necessary to initialize the publish process with a large number of nodes and a big logcmd table.

Bugfix RM5993

Following an internal link will now cause the top menu to be updated so thatthe top menu links will operate on the newly opened page, and not therefererring page.

Bugfix RT52572

An issue that caused an exception to be thrown in some cases when checking for quick column definitions was fixed by adding handling for the deprecated binary attribute type.

Bugfix

A SGB error was fixed within the file upload dialog. Previously the SGB error was displayed when a user tried to upload a new file in frontend editing mode.

Bugfix RT52442

Fixed Aloha.ready() being fired too early (before frontend editing is finished initializing editables).

Bugfix RT52597

The permission check on root folders of nodes/channels worked differently in Java and PHP, which could cause some nodes/channels to appear in the Repository Browser althoughthe user should not have permissions, when the permission entries in the database were inconsistent.

Bugfix RT52202

A caching issue within the purge versions job was fixed. In some cases this issue could cause the creation of lower version numbers for pages when a page was edited.

Bugfix RT52405

Fixed pasting with LiveEditor to avoid JavaScript error, and to insert content into the editor when performing Rechtsklick > “Einfgen (ohne Formatierungen)”.

Bugfix RT52396

The paging functionality within the page list was fixed. Previously the page list would only display 5/10/20/50 items depending on the configured paging setting.

Bugfix

Added missing error message when setting hostname and publish directory of a node to settings of another node.Before this fix, the changes were just not saved, but no error message was shown.

Bugfix RT52413

When saving a page where only the case of some letters changed, it didn‘t create a new page version.This has been fixed now and new page versions are created now when the case of letters change.This is important when versioned publishing is enabled.

Bugfix RT52715

Fixed canceling of a published page over the REST API: When a page is published (and not changed afterwards) and then canceled, the page status is not changed.

Bugfix RT52297

Fixed SGB error occuring when applying an object property to sub folders. This is caused by duplicate object properties in the database. This update deletes those duplicate entries.

Bugfix RT52416

Removed unnecessary entry “Real Editor” in the folder context menu.

Bugfix RT51642

The “maximize tree”-icon was fixed within the Gentics Content.Node tree frame. Previously the icon was not being shown at a fixed position and therefore was probably not visible if the treewas not scrolled to top.

Bugfix RT52191

Using publish handlers together with instant publishing did not work as expected: When triggering instant publishing (by publishing a page or creating/editing an image, file or folder) beforea regular publish run, the publish handlers were not triggered.Additionally, the destroy() method of the publish handler was called for every transaction commit (for every published object), and not only when the publish handler was taken out of service (as intended).The lifecycle of publish handler instances has been modified, in a way that instances of publish handlers will now stay in service until either the server is shut down, or the publish handler entry is eitherchanged or removed.

Bugfix RM5993

Prevent “Object doesn‘t support this property or method…” error when openingPreview or Live Preview in IE8.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.22.6 – 2012/12/06

Bugfix

A SGB error was fixed within the Gentics Content.Node Image Import. Previously an error occured when a user tried to import a image into the system. This bug was introduced within version 5.9.4.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.22.3 – 08.10.2012

Gentics Content.Node 5.9.4

Bugfix

Fixed the construct list method response for channel nodes. Previously a construct list call for a channel would reveal an empty list. Now the constructs for the master node will returned when a channel node_id was specified for the list request.

Bugfix

The ribbon will no longer be shown when the setting Aloha.setting.ribbon has been set to false.

Bugfix

A SGB error within the construct tagfill view was fixed. Previously the value of an image url part type could not be set. This issue was introduced in 5.9.0.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.22.3 – 08.10.2012

Gentics Content.Node 5.9.3

Bugfix RM5650

The formatless paste plugin default configuration was fixed. Previously the formatless paste plugin did not work and no formatting was removed when content was pasted. The formatless paste handler was added to the list of default contenthandlers for insertHtml.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.22.3 – 08.10.2012

Gentics Content.Node 5.9.2

Bugfix

The preview thumbnails in the repository browser were fixed when using frontend editing mode. Previously the proxyprefix parameter was not added to the thumbnail imageurls.

Bugfix

Fixed folder highlighting within the main Gentics Content.Node folder tree within channels. Previously the master node folder was highlighted when a channel page was opened.

Bugfix

Fixed rendering of tags to no cause a JavaScript exception. Also ensures thatids in template strings are correctly extracted and listed in the REST-APIrenderer response.

Bugfix RM5611

Some imageurls for the repository browser that can be opened within the tagfill dialog were fixed. Previously a css and some images could not be loaded when the tagfill dialog was opened within the frontend editing mode.

Bugfix RM5624

A bug within the tagfill dialog imageurl and fileurl part handling was fixed. Previously the tagfill dialog views that contained imageurl or fileurl parts caused SGB errors when opening. This issue was introduced within 5.9.0 and did only occure when using the frontend editing mode.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.22.3 – 08.10.2012

Gentics Content.Node 5.9.1

Bugfix

The Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API will remove all “aloha-*” classes from links before saving them.

Bugfix RM5395

The GenticsImageStore will now also be able resize images in foreign nodes.
A page in node A may now contain the following image url:

http://www.node-b-hostname.tdl/GenticsImageStore/300/auto/prop/Content.Node/images/flower.jpg

Such an url will be identified by the GenticsImageStore during the publish process. The imagestore identifies the referenced node by examing the hostname within the found url.

The image within node B will be resized when the GenticsImageStore determined that the referenced node (in this case node b) is publishing into the filesystem. Resizing will otherwise be omitted.The image tag must be adapted to include the node B hostname.

Example velocity implementation:


	#if($cms.rendermode.publish)

<img  src="http://${cms.tag.parts.src.target.folder.node.host}/GenticsImageStore/300/auto/prop/${cms.tag.parts.src.target.folder.node.path}${cms.tag.parts.src.target.folder.pub_dir}/${cms.tag.parts.src.target.name}"/>
	#else

<img src="/GenticsImageStore/300/auto/prop/$cms.tag.parts.src.target.url" />

Fixed how links are saved to ensure that all link parts are saved as well.

Bugfix RT51486

solved issue #51486, where closing a TagFill in IE7 for a block which is notrendered inside an editable would result in the user no longer being able tomake any selections on the page.

Bugfix RT52023

The feature Versioned Publishing, which has been disabled is now enabled by default.

Bugfix RT51641

Copied link tags will no longer be blockified.

Bugfix RT51674

Bugfix

Fixed multithreaded publishing in conjunction with instant publishing into content repositories, which lead to longer publishing times, without using CPU time.

Bugfix RT51953

Fixed importing of tagtypes that already exist on the target system, but have less parts in the export file. Due to a bug, the superfluous parts where not removed during the import.

Bugfix RT51687

Fixed the default gravatar picture not working anymore due to changes from gravatar.com. Also disabled loading images from gravatar when using https://.

Bugfix

The file fetch feature will now correctly check the needed permissions for the used import folder. Previously create permissions were not checked correctly.

Bugfix

Fixed the Repository Browser to correctly show multichannelling icons.

Gentics Content.Node 5.7.2

Manual Change

Manual change for Aloha Editor

Gentics Content.Node will use Aloha Editor Blocks to render tag iconsin your page. Aloha Blocks currently only support div and span as validroot tags.If your tagtype implementation uses other root tags than a div or a spanor if you do not have a single root tag at all your html code willwill be wrapped by a div tag to make them editable for the user.You can however configure your own root tags for the Aloha Editor BlockPlugin: http://www.aloha-editor.org/guides/plugin_block.html#changing-the-root-tagsNOTE: Drag/Drop functionality for Aloha Blocks is only supported when using div and span as root tags. If you configure other root tags anduse them along with Drag/Drop functionality you may encounter problems

Enhancement

The tooltips within the node properties view were extended.

Bugfix

An SGB that occured when opening the usage view for images was fixed.

Bugfix

Missing i18n entries were added.

Bugfix

A bug that occured when handling the ALOHA_PLUGINS_NODE setting was fixed. Previously some alohaeditor jqueryui specific plugins were not added to the final list of plugins. This issue only affected systems where the aloha_jqueryui feature was enabled.

Manual Change

Disabled Aloha Editor block-plugin drag and drop feature

The block-plugin drag and drop feature is now disabled by default. Thefeature may be re-enabled with the following setting in the node.confconfiguration file: $ALOHA_SETTINGS[‘plugins‘][‘block‘][‘dragdrop‘] = ‘true‘;Changing this setting requires a tomcat restart.Please note that the block drag and drop functionality is experimentaland still in development.

Manual Change

Tagtypes implementation and Aloha Editor block-plugin

Manual Change

(when updating to Aloha Editor with jQuery UI)

The GCN Intergration Plugin now supports the use of page object handlers as thelegacy version of this plugin did. The API has remained the same except forone significant change: Registered page object handler callbacks will receive aGCN.PageAPI page object rather than a plain-old-object.It might also be helpful to note that the page object you receive in thehandler function allows you to inspect exactly what data of the page objectwill be sent to the server in the save process (since for efficiency, onlychanges are send to the server during saving, and not the entire page data asin the legacy plugin). This introspection can be done using page.json().Beware however that the returned object is only useful for introspection andnot reflection. IE: Changing properties of the object returned by page.json()will not mutate the page object itself, this must done via the page object‘sAPI.

Manual Change

Possible Root elements of tagtypes changed.

Manual Change

Aloha Editor 0.9.3 was removed

The legacy version of aloha editor was removed.

Manual Change

The policy-map schema used for the validation feature has been changed.

If you have configured a custom policy map by following these instructions please verify that your policy-map.custom.xml is still valid according to the schema .The custom policy map will automatically be validated during the restart of the tomcat while performing a GCN update. If the schema fails to validate, the update will likewise fail. If the update fails due to schema validation errors, it is sufficient to fix the validation erros and restart the tomcat afterwards.To validate the policy-map.custom.xml manually, you can download the current schema and perform the validation using a XML Schema validation tool. For example, using xmllint xmllint ~~-schema policy~~map.xsd /Node/etc/policy-map.custom.xml

Manual Change

Aloha‘s ecma5.js was removed.

The ecma5.js added the following functions to the environment if they didn‘t exist already.* Function.prototype.bind* String.prototype.trim* Array.prototype.indexOf* Array.prototype.lastIndexOf* Array.prototype.forEach* Array.prototype.map* Array.prototype.filter* Array.prototype.every* Array.prototype.some* window.compareDocumentPosition* window.getComputedStyleAlso, the window.Node object was added to the environment containingDOM-Node type properties.Please make sure that custom javascript implementations don‘t rely onany of these properties being defined.Some of them are still provided by some browsers, but not by others.For example, String.prototype.trim and Array.prototype.indexOf will workon Chrome but not on older versions of IE.String.prototype.trim and Array.prototype.indexOf methods are the mostoften used functions, and, if custom implementations rely on some ofthese methods to be defined, it is most likely one those two.

Manual Change

Additional default plugins for new aloha editor version were added.

Fixed permission checks when trying to create a folder in the root folder of a channel that is derived directly from a master, the user is not allowed to see.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.20.20 – 25.07.2012

Gentics Content.Node 5.5.6

Enhancement

Hide master nodes from the channel synchronization dialog, if the user has no permission to see it.

The tree will now be updated correctly when switching pages using quickjump.

Bugfix

Fixed clearing caches when deleting tagtypes that were used in pages, templates or object properties.

Bugfix

Removed debug output line left in the file uploader by mistake.

Bugfix

Fixed layout for page timemanagement in Internet Explorer where weekdays would not always have the checkboxes right next to them.

Bugfix

Fixed the datasource usage overview listing sometimes not showing results when a filter was set in the main datasource list.It now doesn‘t use that filter anymore and shows all results in the usage list.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.20.15 – 27.06.2012

Gentics Content.Node 5.5.3

Manual Change

When using Aloha Editor the AlohaRenderer will now also accept span-tags as valid root-tags

The tag insert buttons within the gcn plugin can now be configured per editable.
A whitelist configuration is used to show/hide specific tag insert options.
The whitelist uses the tagtype keyword to filter the buttons/menu.

Gentics Content.Node 5.5.2

Enhancement

This feature is considered stable even though the full testcycle has been omitted to be able to add it to release 5.5.2.

Added features “redirect_check_referer“ and “redirect_assume_https“ for redirecting the request to load the latest version of Aloha Editor with an URL like /CNPortletapp/latest/..., if using an additional Apache to handle SSL.Normally, the redirect would be done relative to the incoming request, but if an additional Apache is used to handle SSL, the incoming request to the backend would not know about https:// and the redirect would be done to http://.To avoid this, it is possible to use the feature “redirect_check_referer“, which would let the redirector check the referer URL and use the schema and hostname from it. In cases, where it is not sure, whether the referer is always available, it is possible to also use the feature “redirect_assume_https“ to always do the redirect to https:// and the hostname sent in the request header “Host”.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.20.12 – 24.05.2012

Gentics Content.Node 5.5.1

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.20.12 – 24.05.2012

Gentics Content.Node 5.5.0

Manual Change

Adapt multilevel publish workflow implementations

Publishing a page using the REST API used a multilevel publish workflow, while publishing a page in the backend used the old single-level publish workflow.The publish behavior has been unified now. The default behavior is now, that publishing the page over the REST API or the backend will use the old single-level publish workflow.Implementations that required the multilevel publish workflow need to add the configuration setting

$MULTILEVEL_PUB_WORKFLOW[nodeId] = true;

in the /Node/etc/node.conf for all nodes.

Fixed creation of page variants when multichannelling is used. It is now possible to select pages from channels or inherited folders in channels.

Bugfix

Fixed permission check for editing images within file list and tagfill dialog. The image manipulation button will only be displayed when the user has edit permissions on the folder in which the current image resides.

Bugfix

Fixed display of channels in the repository browser: Sometimes channels were shown in the repository browser (but not in the tree), although the user did not have sufficient permissions on that channel.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.20.11 – 10.05.2012

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.22

Manual Change

In version 5.4.19 the template mimetype was changed from text/js to text/javascript.

This change was reverted due to an incompatibility with Gentics Portal.Node.
This incompatibility was resolved for Gentics Portal.Node releases that were made after Update 11927 2012-03-02.
Once you have updated your Gentics Portal.Node installations you can execute the following sql statement within your node database to apply the change.
UPDATE ml SET contenttype = 'text/javascript' WHERE name='JavaScript';
The incompatibility caused pages that were created with the text/javscript mimetype to be displayed incorrectly within any portal that serves pages using the GenticsContentPortlet.

Fixed page versioning creating a new version of a page when the page is moved to the publication queue (for users without publication rights)and the page wasn‘t modified.

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.20.8 – 04.04.2012

This Gentics Content.Node version includes the Aloha Editor 0.20.7 – 07.03.2012

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.15

Manual Change

The Apache HTTPD package has to be updated to the latest version.

Download the self-executing installer package# Execute the installer package with the root user# The installer will ask whether the new configuration should be installed – please skip this step by pressing enter (the current configuration will be kept).

Enhancement

The page copy action performance was enhanced.

Enhancement

The REST API page/restore restore versions was optimized to be more consistant.

Enhancement

Inserted an input validation for HTML for the tagtype properties when the “validation” feature is turned on.

First, the folder of a page has ben excluded from versioning. This meansthat the page will always be rendered in its current folder. Forexample, Changelog will render the name of the current foldereven in an older version of the page. Before this change, the name ofthe folder where the page was when the version was created was renderd.

Second, the template of a page is still versioned, but should thetemplate of an older version of the page have been deleted, the currenttemplate will be used as a fallback and a warning will be logged. Toavoid this, never delete a template that may be used by older versionsof a page.

These changes apply even when the versioned publishing feature is turnedoff.

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.0

Manual Change

Fixed page-import doesn‘t fill parts with cn_value keyword bug

The previous behaviour during a page import filled either a visible or editable part of an imported tag with the element contents. When thefeature cn_page_import_fill_editable_part was true, an editable part wasfilled. Otherwise a visible part was filled.This behaviour was contrary to the documentation, which states that the part with keyword “cn_value“ is filled with the element contents.The behaviour was fixed, so that “cn_value“ will be filled, if it exists. If no such part exists, the import will fall-back to the old behaviour.All tag-types that are used with the page-import must be checked for compatibility with the new behaviour. It must be ensured that, if there is a part with keyword “cn_value” in a tag-type, that it really is thepart that should be filled during page-import, and not one of the other editable or visible parts.

Manual Change

The FTP configuration within the node settings was removed.

Manual Change

The Aloha Editor plugin API was changed

Aloha Editor 0.10 will no longer expose it‘s internal jQuery object through the $ and/or jQuery variables. You have to include your own version of jQuery if you relied on Aloha Editor‘s version prior to this update.# The “GENTICS_“ prefix for CSS class names has been replaced by “aloha-“. If you targeted those specific class names in your implementation those need to be updated.# The “GENTICS.Aloha“ namespace for Aloha Editor‘s JavaScript objects has been reduced to “Aloha” alone.*Please note:*# If you want to edit your pages using Aloha Editor a valid doctype has to be specified.# As the plugin system has been fully rewritten in Aloha Editor 0.10 plugins you wrote for 0.9.3 will not work with the new version.

Gentics Content.Node 5.2.4

Enhancement

Allows a custom definition of the HTML doctype that appears in the application generated HTML.

The application generated HTML wraps the HTML defined in the user-defined implementation of content pages.
The application generated HTML wrapper has a doctype.Due to this circumstance, when a HTML5 doctype is defined for the user-defined implementation of a content page, the page may not display properly.
As a workaround, the doctype for the application generated HTML may be configured in the node.conf configuration file in the following manner ~~the doctype string should be equal to the one used in content~~pages:
$CUSTOM_NODE_HTML_DOCTYPE = '';

Please note that this will define the doctype of the wrapper-html, for all content-pages in the system, regardless of which node they belong to.

Fixed UI issue within the tagtype edit view. If a part is defined as liveeditable the editable checkbox will be enabled as well now.
