Gentics Content.Node 5.25.20
Documentation SUP-3934
Added missing documentation on how to setup support for Oracle or SQL-Server Content Repositories in the CMS.
Documentation SUP-3952
A page with details on the “ExpressionParser for TagMap Entries” has been added to the documentation.
Bugfix SUP-3592
When objects were exported that referenced objects of other nodes, an optional reference to the node was created, even if the referenced object was in the wastebin. When objects were exported that contained objects of other nodes in an overview with sticky channel, no optional reference to the other node was created. Both issues have been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3301
Fixed the permissions “Create / edit tagtype“ and “Channel sync“ for the “GCN5 Demo” node not being set for the node group.
Bugfix SUP-3915
JavaScript errors thrown in a PubSub-event-handler in the GCN-JS-API caused an immediate stop of the script‘s execution and could lead to an inconsistent state in the JS-API in the browser. This has been fixed: all errors thrown by an event-handler will be catched and logged back to the console.
Bugfix SUP-3926
The permission checks for some rarely used administrative functions have been improved.
Gentics Content.Node 5.25.19
Bugfix SUP-3876
When translating a page to the same language that already exists in the wastebin and as not deleted page, it was possible that the translation would create a duplicate of that page. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3871
When using the feature copy_tags
to Copy & Paste multiple tags at once, the tags were copied but not inserted at the paste position due to a javascript error. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3873
When an update of an import would remove a template in the CMS, which is still used by pages, the resulting conflict could be handled with the behaviour “Overwrite“ which would remove the template and leave the pages in an inconsistent state. This has been fixed now, such conflicts can now only be handled with behaviour “Ignore” (leaving the template untouched).
Bugfix SUP-3867
Some actions in the CMS (like e.g. filling a tagtype) could lead to SGBs, when they were performed with a fresh session without selecting a node first. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3908
When groups with subgroups were deleted in the CMS, the Java caches were not properly cleared, which could cause subsequent errors. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3832
The menu items and related links in the assistant frame for tagtypes were inconsistent for users with view but without edit permission. The entries have been changed to be consistent now.
Bugfix SUP-3591
When a node is copied (with pages) and objects reference pages in the wastebin, the copies of the objects would reference the same pages, which caused unexpected results, when the reference pages were restored from the wastebin. This has been fixed now, references to pages in the wastebin will be unset for the copied objects.
Gentics Content.Node 5.25.18
Enhancement SUP-3699
It is now possible to use a custom location for the configuration file of the Task Management App (gentics-activiti.properties). This is useful when the application server on which the Task Management App is deployed does not have access to the /Node/etc/
directory which is the default location for the configuration file.
Documentation SUP-3884
The documentation of imps has been improved in the Gentics CMS Guides
Bugfix SUP-3878
Some german umlauts were wrongly encoded. This bug only affected the cms webinterface. This has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-3725
The internal pools for prepared SQL statements used large amounts of Java Heap Space, which could cause memory problems (including OutOfMemory exceptions). Therefore pooling of SQL Statements has been disabled.
Bugfix SUP-3857
Flash movies stored in the CMS could not be viewed in pages in preview-mode or edit-mode because the cms delivered them as attachment to the browser. (HTTP-header “Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=example.swf“) This has been fixed, the CMS will now set the proper HTTP-headers for flash videos. Additionally to get flash videos working in the CMS it is necessary to set the proper “type“ and “data” attributes on the flash OBJECT-html-tag, e.g.: <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="<node videourl>">
Bugfix SUP-3897
Some inefficient SQL statements for updating data from the tagfill dialog have been improved.
Gentics Content.Node 5.25.17
Documentation SUP-2680
Updated documentation to avoid a common mistake in velocity implementions from tagtypes that are editable with the aloha editor.
Bugfix SUP-3786
When selecting pages for an overview by clicking the language icon of the page in the repository browser, an SGB occurred while saving the tag. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3601
When a user tried to create a language variant of a page, where this language variant was put into the wastebin before, and the user had no permission to delete pages in the folder, an error occurred. This has been fixed now: The page in the wastebin will be deleted regardless of the user‘s permission and replaced by the node language variant.
Bugfix SUP-3830
When objects were exported where the name contained some characters which are not allowed in attribute values of XML nodes, the resulting XML files was invalid. This caused errors while importing. Generation of the XML files has been fixed now, so that the invalid characters will be removed from the names. Additionally, the handling of invalid XML files while importing has been improved to provide explicit error messages hinting at the root cause.
Bugfix SUP-3811
When rendering a tag of another page with the render directive, tags contained in the rendered tag were resolved in the scope of the original page. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3819
When a node publishes into a multichannelling aware contentrepository, all channels of the node will automatically also publish into that contentrepository. This auto-assignment was not shown in the list of nodes or considered when checking the data of the contentrepository for channels that were created after the node was assigned to the contentrepository. In such cases, the result of the “Check data“ operation for the contentrepository would incorrectly state, that the channel was not assigned to the contentrepository and its data would be removed in the next publish run (which was not the case). This has been fixed now. The “Check data” operation will correctly consider the auto-assignment of channels to multichannelling aware contentrepositories exactly like the publish process does.
Bugfix SUP-3849
If a tag contained javascript the code wasn‘t executed again after opening and closing the tagfill. This bug was introduced with bugfix SUP-3724 in version 5.23.28 and has been fixed.
Bugfix SUP-3797
When publishing into a content repository with instant publishing, access to the content repository was locked longer and more often than necessary. This could cause congestion of instant publishing requests. This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3820
Fixed issue where corrupted node-tags (node-notation without tagname and closing bracket: “ Files that were imported from a thirdparty media asset system using the Objects containing nested object tags were exported and imported in way which could subsequently cause errors when loading those objects via the REST API. This has been fixed now. Optional Manual Change The implementation of the gtxalohapagelink tag has been updated to prevent errors when saving a page. In Detail: The variable “$parts.fileurl.target.id” was used without checking if it was empty. This caused an erroneous rendering when the tag linked to a file that has been deleted preventing users to save a page after editing. When an object with localized copies in channels was moved (in its master node) and the node published into a Content Repository with Instant Publishing enabled, all localized copies were also instantly written into the Content Repository. This could cause the move process to take longer than expected and was inconsistent behaviour (since Instant Publishing normally does not affect inherited or localized copies in channels, when the master object was changed). This has been fixed now, moving objects will trigger Instant Publishing only for the master object itself. When publishing files into a ContentRepository, errors like The permission checks when localizing objects over the REST API were too restrictive for users with permissions restricted to channels. This has been fixed now. Copying a localized copy of a file always produced an error message. This has been fixed now. When a localized copy of a file is copied, the copy will be created in the same channel now. When a tag in a page is filled with the tagfill dialog, and a part of type Applying object properties of folders to subfolders did not work for channel local or localized folders and has been fixed now. The Part Types documentation has been updated. After modifying a tag in the tagfill when editing a page the tag in the page was not updated correctly if the root element of the tag changed. For example, if the root element from the tag changes from a If the startpage of a folder was moved to the wastebin (deleted) the flag symbol indicating the startpage was still visible in the page list for other language variants of the same page. This could lead to the assumption that the folder has a startpage set when the startpage was deleted instead. This has been fixed. When publishing multiple nodes (with their channels) into the same Multichannelling aware ContentRepository, the ContentRepository Maintenance action Fixed taking offline a page in the old UI not being completed via the Rest API. The Activiti trigger “onPageTakeOffline” didn‘t work because of this. New UI updated to v1.5.0 New UI updated to v1.3.0 New UI updated to v1.4.0 When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 7.0.73 which contains important security and bug fixes. You can delete old Tomcat directories after updating. Fixed an SGB error when viewing a page in live preview mode in the new UI. The nodeId query parameter of the page resource search endpoint is no longer mandatory. It can now be specified in order to speed up or limit the search to a specific channel. Optional Manual Change The maximum number of clients used by the Apache Web Server for the CMS backend must not exceed 200, since this is the default value of maximum connections Tomcat will accept. Support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server was added to Gentics CMS 5.25.0 – The SLES Installation Guide has been updated. The backup guide has been updated. Showing the tag status failed with an SGB for templates that contain tags with special characters (like Two issues with the feature Link anchors were removed from external links when saving a page if the Aloha Link Tagtype is missing the “anchor“ part or if the link plugin setting “anchorLinks” is set to false. This bug has been introduced with Gentics CMS 5.22.0. This has been fixed and the documentation for the Aloha Link Tagtype implementation has been updated to address link anchors. The script When the feature Optional Manual Change When using Internet Explorer in the Task Management UI, a small ‘x‘ button was shown in the search field, which cleared the search field, but had no effect on the search itself. This ‘x‘ button has now been removed. When translating a local page inside a channel without specifying the channel, the check whether the translation already exists didn‘t work and another language variant of the same page with the same language was created. This has been fixed. When editing a page with Aloha Editor and an editable is activated, additional paragraphs are added in places where they are necessary in order to place the cursor in front of or after blocks. Those editables were only added to the activated editable and removed from any inactive editable, even if the active editable was nested in a block in another editable. This behaviour has been changed now, so that the paragraphs will be added to all ancestor editables of the active editable. When opening a page for editing the event aloha-ready was never fired if the page contained no editable tags. This event should be triggered when the Aloha Editor is fully initialized. This has been fixed. Updated the new CMS UI to version 1.2.3 The guides for the Url Parttypes were updated to describe the size property which is a formatted string in KB or MB and not to be confused with Optional Manual Change In the Task Management the list of Installations using the Activiti Integration need to have the Activiti Server updated to get those fixes. 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. 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. Localization of templates failed with an error. This has been fixed now. Opening the tagfill produced an error if the tagtype contained a non empty Page-URL part linking to an internal page. This has been fixed. 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. 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. 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. Fixed possible NPE in the publish process. Some minor issues with the detection of GCMS version numbers from local updatefiles have been fixed. 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. 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. Saving an overview listing folders in the tagfill dialog failed with an SGB. This has been fixed now. 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. The default upload folders for images and files could not be unset, once they were set. This has been fixed now. When a folder was moved into another folder with more restrictive inheritance settings (in a multichannelling environment), and the moved folder The script 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. 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. When a tagtype contained multiple parts of type 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. When using the feature Purging the wastebin from many deleted folders consumed a big amount of memory, which could cause OutOfMemory errors. This has been fixed now. 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 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. When the feature When the type of a part in a construct was changed from The repository browser didn‘t work in the tagfill dialog when the multichannelling feature was not enabled. This has been fixed. Updated the new CMS UI to version 1.1.0. Resolving the nodeId for 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Manual Change The new Gentics CMS UI requires an additional symlink within the htdocs folder. You can create the needed symlink using the following command: The REST API has been enhanced: The inheritedFromId, and masterNodeId fields have been added to the NodeLoadResponse. These fields contain the structural information that is needed to build up the node/channel tree. The REST responses of FileLoadResponse, ImageLoadResponse, PageLoadResponse and FolderLoadResponse have been enhanced. Additional fields (masterNodeId, inheritedFromId) which identify the corresponding multichanneling nodes via id have been added. An additional REST endpoint for users has been added. The endpoint rest/user/save/{id} can be used to update user specific information. The part type It is now possible to deactivate default Aloha Editor Plugins in general or on a per node basis. Please consult the Guides for further information. The following part types have been extended to store the node from which internal target objects were selected: Those part types will expose the node as attribute
