Bugfix SUP-3690
Fixed an SGB error when viewing a page in live preview mode in the new UI.
Bugfix SUP-3662
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.25.11
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.
Enhancement SUP-3356

). This has been fixed now.
Bugfix SUP-3605
Two issues with the feature objprop_page_edit_assistant
have been fixed: # The preview of inherited pages did not work (showed an empty page) # When opening the preview of a page, the page was locked
Bugfix SUP-3636
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.
Bugfix SUP-3443
The script /Node/.node/setup-database.php
for resetting the database will now set an exit status != 0 when it fails.
Bugfix SUP-3619
When the feature activiti_integration
was activated without restarting the server, the maintenance dialog for users with admin permission for the task management showed an SGB. This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.25.10
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.
Installations using the Activiti Integration need to have the Activiti Server updated to get those fixes.
Bugfix SUP-3268
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.
Bugfix SUP-3576
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.
Bugfix SUP-3568
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.25.9
Updated the new CMS UI to version 1.2.3
Documentation SUP-3565
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 target.size
, which is an integer number in Bytes.
Gentics Content.Node 5.25.8
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-3563
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.
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 5.25.7
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-3538
Fixed possible NPE in the publish process.
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-3547
Saving an overview listing folders in the tagfill dialog failed with an SGB. 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 5.25.6
Gentics Content.Node 5.25.5
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
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”.
Bugfix SUP-3488
The repository browser didn‘t work in the tagfill dialog when the multichannelling feature was not enabled. This has been fixed.
Gentics Content.Node 5.25.4
Bugfix
Updated the new CMS UI to version 1.1.0.
Bugfix SUP-3465
Resolving the nodeId for URL
parttypes did not work correctly, when this was done in a channel. This has been fixed now.
Gentics Content.Node 5.25.3
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.
Gentics Content.Node 5.25.2
Gentics Content.Node 5.25.1
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 5.25.0
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:ln -s /Node/.node/ui /Node/var/httpd/htdocs/.Node/ui
Enhancement GCU-121
The REST API has been enhanced:
- The endpoint
rest/folder/getFolders/{id}
has a new query parameterprivilegeMap
to get the privileges on each folder in a map representation - The endpoint
rest/perm/{type}/{id}
has a new query parametermap
to get the privileges in a map representation
Enhancement GCU-29
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.
Enhancement GCU-28
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.
Enhancement GCU-76
An additional REST endpoint for users has been added. The endpoint rest/user/save/{id} can be used to update user specific information.
Enhancement GTXPE-37
The part type Overview
has a new setting Sticky Channel
, which allows selecting objects from specific channels in overviews. Please consult the section about the Overview Part Type in the Guides for further information.
Enhancement GTXPE-42
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.
Enhancement GTXPE-36
The following part types have been extended to store the node from which internal target objects were selected:
URL (page)
URL (image)
URL (file)
URL (folder)
Those part types will expose the node as attribute node
and the node ID as attribute nodeId
. Please see the Meta Attributes in the Guides for implementation details. Also consult the guides page about the Aloha Editor Page Link Tag
It is important to note, that this change breaks Import/Export compatibility with older version of the Gentics CMS. It will no longer be possible to import data containing URL parttypes from Gentics CMS Version starting with 5.25.0 to Gentics CMS Versions older than
- 5.21.40 (Michelangelo)
- 5.22.36 (Raphael)
- 5.23.17 (Grizzly)
