Gentics Content.Node Changelog Summary

Gentics Content.Node 5.31.11


Bugfix SUP-6762

On slow machines and/or slow connections a race condition in the new UI could render the UI unusable. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6735

When using Keycloak SSO for authentication with the new UI and if the authentication information is not cached in the UI, then opening a link to the new UI, which does not point to the root or to the login page (e.g, a link that points to a certain folder), would have caused the login page to be shown below the search bar instead of loading the linked address. A page refresh would have be required to go to the linked address. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6694

Sometimes the buttons “OK“ and “Cancel” were missing in the tagfill dialog, when using the new UI. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6749

The ‘Save‘ button is now always enabled when editing pages, properties, and object properties, except if the respective object is locked by another user. This resolves several issues where the ‘Save‘ button was not being enabled after a change.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.10


Bugfix SUP-6539

When a new node with the flag for publish directory segments enabled was imported, the publish directory segment of the root folder possibly contained slashes. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6640

The publish process failed with an error like “Duplicate field name for field … detected. The name for a field must be unique.” if the Mesh ContentRepository contained identical entries coming from different CR Fragments. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6235

When loading a template over the REST API with a given nodeId, the list of objecttags in the template will now be restricted to the objecttags, which are either globally available or assigned to the node.


Bugfix SUP-6337

Copying of tagmap entries did not work any more and has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6337

Copying tagmap entries into other ContentRepositories will now check for duplicates (same mapname and type) and will either ignore or overwrite the tagmap entries.


Bugfix SUP-6725

Devtool packages, which are created as symbolic links are not automatically detected. Directories with names starting with ‘.‘ (like ‘.git‘, ‘.svn‘, ...) are no longer detected as devtool packages. It is also no longer possible to create a package over the UI or REST API with a name starting with ‘.‘.


Bugfix SUP-6523

Tagmap entries with the same name but for different object types would be shown as “inconsistent“ if they were different in attributes, which had no relevance for the entry type (e.g. different targetType setting for entries of type “text“). This resulted in “conflicts” which could not be resolved and has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6615

The field for elasticsearch settings of new ContentRepository Fragment entries was always prefilled with “null”. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6673

Excluding CR Fragments from export by type did not work (Fragments were still exported). This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-5404

Changes made on object property definitions were not automatically synchronized to devtool packages, even when the automatic sync was enabled. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6675

Adds extra validity checks and uniqueness on breadcrumbs creation.


Bugfix SUP-6227

When copying a ContentRepository, some attributes were not copied:

  • Elasticsearch Setting of ContentRepository
  • Flag for Instant Publishing
  • Flag to add Language Information
  • Flag to add Permission Information
  • Flag for “Project per Node” (Mesh ContentRepository)
  • Permission Property (Mesh ContentRepository)
  • Elasticsearch Setting of Entry
  • Flag for Display Field of Entry
  • Flag for Segment Field of Entry
  • Flag for URL Field of Entry
    Those attribute will now also be copied.

Bugfix SUP-5480

Sometimes, when updating the binary contents of files, some temporary files could be left over in the folder /Node/tomcat/temp This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-5519

The cookie handling of the RestClient has been modified, so that every instance will use a separate store. This fixes overwriting of the session cookie when multiple logged in instances were used.


Bugfix SUP-6439

Synchronizing template tags with pages behaved inconsistently: Missing tags were only added to pages, which also contained tags that needed to be migrated (because they used different constructs). This has been fixed now, when synchronizing template tags with pages, this will:

  • Create missing tags
  • Migrate existing tags to the construct used in the template
  • Remove superfluous tags (tags that came from the template, but no longer exist in the template or are no longer editable in pages)

Synchronization of template tags with pages can be triggered via

  • Template|Tag list (Action sync with pages)
  • Template|Define tags (Button Apply and sync with pages)
  • Template|Tagstate (Button sync with pages)

Bugfix SUP-6325

When an import changed only tags of a template, but no properties of the template itself (like the name or source), the editor and edate of the template were not modified. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-5378

The previews of images, which were resized with the GenticsImageStore were cached, regardless of whether the editor was allowed to view them. This could cause editors to see the cached “not allowed” image, if if they had sufficient privileges. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.9


Bugfix SUP-6688

In certain cases lastNodeId for a user can be obsolote (e.g.: deleted, no permission, etc.) and in that cases the user stuck on the login screen / empty page. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.8


Bugfix SUP-6679

When publishing into a Mesh ContentRepository with a roles property set, the permissions were not automatically set on the Mesh project‘s root nodes. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.7


Bugfix SUP-6600

Under special circumstances (e.g. when using instant publishing, a fileupload manipulator and activiti), dirting of files did not always work as expected. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.6


Bugfix SUP-6662

Some errors regarding permission setting while publishing into a Mesh CR have been fixed:

  • The datasource entries imported from Mesh CR into the roles datasource will no longer contain the uuid‘s of the roles.
    This allows migration of the datasource entries between systems that publish into different instances of Mesh.
  • Setting multiple roles on an object in the CMS did not work (roles were not set in Mesh)
  • The publish process will now also set READ permission on the Mesh projects (for roles that have READ_PUBLISHED permission on at least one object in the project)

Bugfix SUP-6661

It is now possible to configure an HTTP Proxy in a CustomProxy.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.5


Bugfix SUP-6617

When using the new UI to edit the object properties of a file or image, saving could fail with an SGB, if the user never used the old UI before. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6610

When user clicks on a language of a page and select Preview of the language in the context menu it was opened in Edit mode, but should be opened in Preview mode. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6629

Synchronizing objects to master could cause an error on systems using PHP 7.1. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6654

When opening a page with variants an internal error occured, which in some cases prevented the “Save Page” and other buttons to not be displayed. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6626

When no node was selected in the advanced search filters bar, the search was executed in the currently opened node. Furthermore the advanced search was not always executed recursively when only filters were set and no text was entered in the search bar. These two problems have been fixed.


Bugfix GTXPE-349

Improved the usability of the search bar.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.4


Optional Manual Change

When saving forms containing ‘><”‘ chrome xss auditor was triggered. This can be deactivated by sending the X-XSS-Protection: 0 header.

Please enable the Apache 2 module “headers“. On most distributions this is done by executing “a2enmod headers”. Apache 2 has to be restarted afterwards. See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=654794 for more details on the topic.


Bugfix SUP-6295

When a previous version of a page was restored in the new UI, the page‘s status label was not updated to ‘edited‘. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6315

When copying a tag containing a checkbox part using the REST API endpoint /page/newtag, the tag returned by that call always claimed the checkbox part to have value “false“ (even if the copied tag was stored with the correct value “true”). This has been fixed now, the returned tag will always contain the correct data.


Bugfix SUP-6589

Groups were removed from the list of selectable recipients when sending a message.


Bugfix SUP-5179

When publishing files into a ContentRepository, errors like com.gentics.api.lib.exception.NodeException: Error while adding a dependency where logged. Those errors had no functional consequence and will be omitted now.


Bugfix SUP-6280

When objects were synchronized between channels, overviews were not dirted and republished in all cases. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.3


The Gravatar feature will be removed in GCMS Version 5.32.
Meanwhile, Gravatar should be disabled by setting
$FEATURE[“no_gravatar”] = true;
See also No Gravatar in the guides.


Bugfix SUP-6161

The uniqueness check for page filenames failed to detect conflicts with published page versions, when the page was modified to another filename and not republished. This has been fixed now, the uniqueness check will now also check against published page versions.


Bugfix SUP-6075

When using the feature devtools and editing a template from the Templates list of a Node, this sometimes failed with an SGB due to an incorrect permission check. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-5153

The progress bar for downloading an import bundle has been improved to update more often.


Bugfix SUP-6491

When using the features mesh_contentrepository, contentfile_auto_offline and instant_cr_publishing in combination and publishing a page using an image or file from another node (and publishing into another ContentRepository), the dependency was set to be online in its node, but not published into the ContentRepository, which caused the image or file to be unavailable in the frontend. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6501

The performance of the extended search in the new UI (especially for nodes containing many folders) has been improved.


Bugfix SUP-6250

The GlobalIdSync tool has been extended to support synchronization of datasource_values, if the datasources are in sync.


Bugfix SUP-6020

The loading of the available templates for a node (during navigation and advanced search) has been sped up.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.2


Bugfix

Custom Proxy Configuration now allows parameters in URLs.


Bugfix SUP-6112

Deleting folders or triggering dependencies in multichannelling environments sometimes failed with an error like: Data inconsistent: Folder {[id]} of page {[id]} does not exist!
The cause for this error was no data inconsistency, but an incorrect multichannelling fallback, which has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6424

Sometimes, searching for contentattributes in a multichannelling contentrepository with the CR Browser failed with an error. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.1


Bugfix

Nodes, that publish into a Mesh ContentRepository expose the Mesh Project Name as property “meshProject”.


Gentics Content.Node 5.31.0


Optional Manual Change

Task Management Custom Tool

In order to allow the Task Management Custom Tool to be used in the new UI, you must create the symlink /Node/var/httpd/htdocs/.Node/task-management which points to /Node/.node/task-management


Optional Manual Change

In order to support internal static files contained in devtool packages, the configuration of the CMS Apache needs to be updated as described in the Devtools configuration guide


Enhancement

The new feature pub_dir_segment allows constructing the publish directory for pages and files from segments defined in the folders, instead of having each folder its own publish directory.


Enhancement

Extensions to the publishing mechanism into Gentics Mesh now allow for using multichannelling in combination with the Gentics Mesh Contentrepository feature


Enhancement GTXPE-286

UI: Add task management tool integration & “Request translation” button


Enhancement GTXPE-197

UI: Publish page from properties context menu


Enhancement GTXPE-299

Enhancement GTXPE-148

Tagmap Entries can now be organized in ContentRepository Fragments. This allows to reuse Tagmap Entries in multiple ContentRepositories and to add Tagmap Entries to Devtools packages


Enhancement GTXPE-275

When synchronizing an object to a master channel, the object is now checked for dependencies (linked pages, files or images) which can also be synchronized to the specified destination. The user can then select in an extra step which of those objects should also be synchronized.
See the documentation of the channelsync feature for more information.
