Gentics Content.Node Changelog Summary

Gentics Content.Node 5.24.13


Optional Manual Change

In the Task Management the list of Completed Tasks can now also be filtered to show either all tasks or the tasks assigned to the current user.

Installations using the Activiti Integration need to have the Activiti Server updated to get those fixes.


Bugfix SUP-3551

The maintenance action “Check data“ for multichannelling contentrepositories did not identify objects in channels that should have been overwritten by localized copies. Also, the check only would set the data status to “error” if invalid objects were found in the master node, but not, if invalid objects only existed in channels. Both issues have been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3212

When using the extended search for pages in the root folder of a channel, it was not possible to restrict to templates, this has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3212

Localization of templates failed with an error. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3551

When moving a localized folder in a multichannelling environment, the localized copies did not get their parent‘s folder_id updated in the content repository. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3556

When a page was edited outside the backend UI (e.g. via frontend editing or using the new UI) and a new file was uploaded from within the tagfill dialog, an SGB could occur. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.24.12


Bugfix SUP-3527

The statement used to get the templates using a specific page (in a pagetag) was inefficient and could cause timeouts in the page list. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3378

Some minor issues with the detection of GCMS version numbers from local updatefiles have been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-3367

Selecting some text in the tagfill with the chrome browser was not working as expected after opening and closing the RepositoryBrowser without selecting any objects. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-3347

When evaluation of tagmap entries failed with unexpected errors (like NullPointerException) while publishing an object into a content repository, the logged error suppressed the expression causing the error. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3478

When a new tag was created in a page as copy of another tag with the Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API, the internal cache of the page was cleared which could lead to inconsistent behaviour. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3514

The default upload folders for images and files could not be unset, once they were set. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3501

When a folder was moved into another folder with more restrictive inheritance settings (in a multichannelling environment), and the moved folder or any of its subfolders contained objects in the wastebin which would not allow restricting the inheritance, the move operation did not fail with an explicit message naming the conflicting object, but failed with a general error message. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3491

The script /Node/bin/nodectl sometimes showed an error when stopping Tomcat, although stopping finally worked. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3324

When a localized or local page was edited in a channel, the setting for whether to use Aloha Editor was always taken from the master node, not from the channel. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3503

When the tagtype of an object property definition was changed, already existing object tags were not migrated, unless the change was done with the feature “tagtype migration”. This has been changed now. Existing object tags are migrated, when the object properties of an object are shown in the object properties dialog, or the object is loaded for editing.


Bugfix SUP-3435

When a tagtype contained multiple parts of type URL (page) and one of them referenced a page in the wastebin, opening the tagfill dialog failed with an SGB. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3334

The regexes contained in the package, which can be used for text parts of constructs did not have proper english translations, which have been added now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.24.11


Gentics Content.Node 5.24.10


Documentation SUP-2106

The guides on defining velocity macros in a library page were updated. They now recommend using tagtype “html (long)” to contain the velocity-code in the macro library page.


Bugfix SUP-3458

When using the feature attribute_dirting together with instant_cr_publishing and multichannelling, it could happen that objects that were modified again during a publish run for which they were scheduled to be published were not published correctly into channels (not all attributes were updated for the channels). This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3457

Purging the wastebin from many deleted folders consumed a big amount of memory, which could cause OutOfMemory errors. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3354

When a page rendered the tag of another page, which rendered a velocity overview containing the original page, and a tag of the original page was rendered that resolved , this was incorrectly not resolved to the name of the page in the overview, but the name of the page containing the overview. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3320

When editing a page with aloha editor, and a tag in an editable was refreshed (e.g. because the tag had been modified using the tagfill dialog), and the tag contained a nested tag in an editable, sometimes the order of initialization of the nested blocks and editables was incorrect and could cause side-effects. One of this side-effects was the automatic modification of editables through the browser when using internet explorer by inserting a br-tag. The initialization order of nested tags has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3441

When the feature activiti_integration was used and a process was configured for the event onPagePublish publishing a new page (which was never published before) with publish at failed with an internal error. Also processes configured for the events onPagePublish or onPageTakeOffline where not started for pages that went on- or offline due to time management. Both issues have been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-3413

When the type of a part in a construct was changed from Select (single) or Select (multiple) to Checkbox, the values of already existing tags where not consistently interpreted: # The tagfill dialog and the REST API showed the checkbox to not be checked # While rendering, the checkbox was treated as being checked. The tag had to be filled once to fix this behaviour. This issue has been fixed now, the checkbox will now consistenly be handled as “not checked”.


Gentics Content.Node 5.24.9


Gentics Content.Node 5.24.8


Bugfix SUP-3283

When copying a node together with its templates and some of the templates were assigned to folders in other nodes, the copies of those templates were also assigned to the folders of the other nodes. This has been fixed now. The copied templates will only be assigned to folders of the node copy.


Bugfix SUP-3392

When images are uploaded where the DPI cannot be determined, the DPI was set to 72 per default. This has been changed now, so that the DPI is internally set to 0. The image list will now show ‘N/A‘ for the DPI value in such cases. Images that are already uploaded will not be affected by this change, unless they are uploaded again.


Bugfix SUP-3405

In multichannelling environments, the dependencies of images were sometimes not stored correctly, which could cause the automatic dirting mechanism to fail dirting images. This has been fixed now. This change does not automatically fix probably missing dependencies, in order to recalculate the dependencies, it is necessary to republish all files from the maintenance dialog.


Bugfix SUP-3274

Setting the publish directory for a folder and all its subfolders may take a long time. This action has been modified to be continued in the background if it takes longer than 5 seconds. Before this fix, the long running request could cause a timeout, which was shown as error in the properties dialog of the folder.


Bugfix SUP-3329

When a master object was deleted and localized at the same time (by different users), this could cause a data inconsistency. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3424

If there was a publishrun between two imports of the same contentrepository, the second import would show a conflict for this contentrepository. This has been fixed.


Gentics Content.Node 5.24.7


Bugfix

When a link was removed in a page, the corresponding link tag was not deleted when the page was saved. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-3190

The usage overview would always list all language variants of a page even though not all language variants used the object. The presentation has been fixed, so that each page using the object has its own entry in the list, but no symbols in the language column.


Bugfix SUP-3246

When editables were modified during the page save process, a dialog could pop up that warns about unsaved changes. In order to prevent this dialog from appearing once the page was saved or published by the user, an additional check has been added.


Bugfix

The import has been fixed to not fail when an export bundle of a newer version of the Gentics CMS is imported, that contains new references that are marked as optional.


Gentics Content.Node 5.24.6


Bugfix SUP-3260

Removing a localized object could cause multithreaded publish runs to fail when the attribute dirting and resumable publish process features were enabled. This has been fixed.


Gentics Content.Node 5.24.5


Bugfix SUP-3275

Recursively changing the publish directory of a localized folder with the “include subfolders” option did not change the publish directory of its subfolders if they are also localized. This has been fixed.


Gentics Content.Node 5.24.4


Bugfix SUP-3230

Entering URLs in the filter field of the page and template listings could render the filter unusable, and the only way to reset it, was to reset the session. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-3193

When using the feature attribute_dirting and publish handlers that access attributes, which are not dirted for specific objects, additional database statements were done to load the attribute values for each objects. This was inperformant and has been improved now.


Bugfix SUP-3196

A possible NullPointerException during the publish run has been fixed.


Gentics Content.Node 5.24.3


When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 7.0.70 which contains important security and bug fixes. You can delete the old Tomcat directory (/Node/apache-tomcat-7.0.61) after updating.


Documentation

The documentation of the Aloha Editor configuration has been extended to cover extension of the toolbar settings.


Bugfix SUP-3106

A NullPointerException occured in the /folder/disinherit/{id} REST endpoint if the parameter “exclude“ in the DisinheritRequest was set to true but the “disinherit“ and “reinherit” parameters where missing. Also some fields of the DisinheritRequest were undocumented. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-3134

When an editable part of a construct was deleted, this could cause subsequent errors in the publish process when using the feature publish_cache due to incorrectly cleared caches. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3176

When using the Feature dskeepselectvalues with a part of type “Select (multiple)“ in the tagfill dialog, clicking “Apply“ and then “OK“ (or clicking “Apply” multiple times) would clear all selected values from the part. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.24.2


Bugfix SUP-2790

Fixed the top menu not changing, after viewing/editing a content page and changing to another CMS page with the assistant.


Bugfix SUP-3107

When the feature activiti_integration was activated and the CMS Tomcat not restarted, but only the configuration reloaded, a necessary background job was not started. This caused automatic handling of processes/tasks to not work. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-2768

When a new editable part is added to the construct used in object properties the existing object tags of objects were not properly updated when the object properties dialog was opened. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3091

When a page is opened in edit mode of Aloha Editor and not saved within 10 minutes, the user‘s lock of the page was automatically lifted. This allowed other users to also edit the page, not aware that their changes could be overwritten by the first user. This has been fixed so that the lock on the page is updated on a regular basis as long as the first user keeps the page open in edit mode of Aloha Editor.


Bugfix SUP-3090

When a page is edited using Aloha Editor and the Tagfill Dialog is opened for a tag or the repository browser is opened, scrolling of the page is prevented.


Bugfix SUP-3087

The list of exports was created using inefficient SQL statements. This could cause timeout problems depending on the number of exports on the system and the user‘s paging setting. This update will create an index to speed up calculation of the number of warnings per export. Note that the change in the database structure might take longer than normal updates.


Bugfix SUP-3093

A tagpart of type “URL (page)“ was only treated as being “internal“, when the radio button for “internal“ was selected AND an actual internal page was selected. This caused new tags being marked as “external“, even if the default value was “internal“, but no default page selected. This has been fixed now, the property “internal” will now exactly reflect the setting of the radio buttons, regardless of whether an actual page is selected or not.


Bugfix SUP-2637

When using the GCN JS API to create tags in pages as copy of other tags, the callback passed to the function createTag was in some cases not called. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-2917

A wrong permission check had the effect that the current folder was sometimes selected instead of the standard upload folder when uploading a file or an image in the tagfill. This happened if the user had no permissions for assigning user permission. This has been fixed. Now the current folder is only selected if the user has no permissions to view the standard upload folder.


Bugfix SUP-3099

In some cases, an additional tag was automatically added to rendered page sources, containing a Gentics Copyright notice. This has been removed now.


Bugfix SUP-2719

When using multithreaded publishing and a publish process failed, this could cause additional exceptions “Cannot add job to Multiconnection transaction: Worker thread is not running” to be logged. Handling of aborting publish processes with multithreaded publishing has been improved, so that exceptions will only be logged if they are a possible cause but not the consequence of the aborting process.


Gentics Content.Node 5.24.1


Documentation SUP-3028

The documentation of the Pageurl/Fileurl parttype now includes the information that the url property is only set for internal links.


Bugfix SUP-2587

The scheduler will now show more detailed information (the complete stacktrace with causing exceptions), when the publish run fails with an exception.


Bugfix SUP-2902

The tagfill dialog still showed the names of referenced objects, even if they were put into the wastebin. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3024

When saving nodes using the REST API, setting the publish directory to empty did not work. Also when setting the publish directory to “/”, this was not corrected to be saved as empty. Both issues have been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-3024

Under special circumstances, the dependency calculation for a modified node or folder could fail with a NullPointerException, which has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3020

When objects in a multichannelling environment were published into a contentrepository with the permission information added, the permissions of localized folders were not correctly inherited from their master folder. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-2927

When a folder is deleted (put into the wastebin), a check was done for objects having localized copies in the structure, which would also be deleted. This check has been extended to also check for local objects (objects that were created in subchannels of the deleted folder‘s channel).


Bugfix SUP-3037

When a specific magiclinkconstruct was configured, the links were still rendered as blocks (with edit icon) in edit mode. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-2789

The synchronization of pages with changes made to template tags was inconsistent and has been modified:

  • When a template is modified in the UI, and saved without synchronizing pages, no page will be modified (prior to this fix, removed template tags were immediately also removed from the pages).
  • Synchronizing the pages with the template will now also remove superfluous tags in the page if the corresponding template tag was removed or changed to not be editable in pages.
  • When a template is imported, all pages will be synchronized in the same way.

This fix contains a change in the database structure, which could cause the update to take longer than usual.


Bugfix SUP-2995

When the master page of a localized copy was taken offline, editors were notified that pages in the channel linking to the localized copy contained an invalid link now, although the link was still valid (linking the localized copy). This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3066

When a new inline editable part was added to a construct and pages containing tags of that construct were edited using Aloha Editor, the new parts could not be filled unless the page was saved once. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3024

When editing the node properties and the checkbox “Separate directories“ is not checked, data entered in the field “Page directory“ should be copied into the (disabled) field “Binary directory”, which did not work. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-2985

Objects (files, images, pages or folders) that were restored from the wastebin did not automatically republish other objects that directly referenced the restored object. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-3003

The assistant frame would not show the correct number of images in a folder, when there was an active filter for the images. This has been fixed.


Gentics Content.Node 5.24.0


When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 7.0.70 which contains important security and bug fixes. You can delete the old Tomcat directories after updating.
