Gentics Content.Node Changelog Summary

Gentics Content.Node 5.30.16


Bugfix SUP-6172

Fixed the translation of Calendars when the language is changed.


Bugfix SUP-6334

Fixed the Icon for localized Images in the new UI


Bugfix SUP-6827

If devtools is activated and the user has no view permissions for the devtools packages the wrong link for live preview was generated in preview- and edit-mode of a page, resulting in error 500 messages. This has been fixed now: for users without devtools permission the regular preview url will be generated, for users with devtools permissions the devtools preview url will be used.


Bugfix SUP-5709

Import/Export: Fixed an NPE when importing folders which were moved and deleted (but still in the wastebin) on the target system.


Gentics Content.Node 5.30.15


Bugfix SUP-6815

Include ‘description‘ field in and remove ‘content‘ field from the default advanced search in the new UI.


Bugfix SUP-6531

With small browser window sizes the button to open the custom tools list would sometimes move above or below the search bar. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6820

Fixes an issue that prevented some users from saving Image Object Properties.


Gentics Content.Node 5.30.14


Documentation SUP-6799

Added Apache access configuration example to the Devtools configuration guide.


Bugfix SUP-6805

When an object property was edited from the Aloha Editor sidebar in the new UI, no buttons were shown. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6778

When Aloha Editor takes more time to load, the toolbar styles were not displayed correctly sometimes. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6739

When selecting an item from the favourites in the repository browser an exception was thrown. This has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-6748

When adding a datasource to a devtool package, the internal IDs of the datasource values (which are used to reference the datasource values in tags) were not included in the data. This could lead to different internal IDs of the same datasource values on different CMS systems and inconsistencies when transferring tags referencing the datasource values. This has been fixed now. To synchronize the internal IDs between systems, the datasources have to be transferred between the systems again (using either a devtool package or import/export).


Bugfix SUP-6784

The objectproperties icons were missing in the tree. This has been fixed.


Gentics Content.Node 5.30.13


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-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.


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.


Gentics Content.Node 5.30.12


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-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-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-6675

Adds extra validity checks and uniqueness on breadcrumbs creation.


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-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-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-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-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.


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.


Gentics Content.Node 5.30.11


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 5.30.10


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 5.30.9


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-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-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-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.


Gentics Content.Node 5.30.8


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-6280

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


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-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.


Gentics Content.Node 5.30.7


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-6020

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


Bugfix SUP-6501

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


Bugfix SUP-5153

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


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-6250

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

The cause for this error was no data inconsistency, but an incorrect multichannelling fallback, which has been fixed now.


Bugfix GTXPE-218

UI: Remove UI version from user menu and login


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 5.30.5


Bugfix SUP-6113

The REST API Endpoints

  • /page/usage/tag
  • /page/usage/variant
  • /page/usage/page
  • /file/usage/page
  • /image/usage/page

never returned additional data with the pages (like contenttags, objecttags, ...), although the example in the REST API documentation showed this data.
The endpoints now accept additional query parameters to add various information (similar to /folder/getPages/[id]).


Bugfix SUP-6171

Sometimes page versions where created out of order, which could also cause some page versions to be used multiple times. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6214

When using the features nice_url and publish_cache in combination, saving pages with nice URLs could fail with an internal error, which has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.30.4


Bugfix SUP-6010

When using the features nice_urls and multichannelling, copying a page into a folder with more restrictive inheritance settings than the source folder failed with an internal error. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6015

UI: Editor no longer overrides link behavior for anchor links. This restores the behavior of editables which rely on jQuery UI and other jQuery plugins.


Bugfix SUP-6238

UI: Fixed an edge-case which prevented new users from logging in.


Bugfix SUP-6178

UI: Enable/disable save button when an editable updates the page via the GCN JSLib.


Bugfix SUP-6162

The Tag Type Migration did not correctly handle queued pages. Queued pages have automatically been published before. This behaviour has been fixed now. Handled pages will now be put back into the queued status by the migration.


Bugfix SUP-6034

When uploading a file failed (e.g. due to insufficient permissions or because it has been denied by the file upload manipulator), the response message was general and not specific to the causing problem. This has been fixed now. Especially when the file is denied by the file upload manipulator, the message provided by the file upload manipulator will be returned now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.30.3


Bugfix SUP-6148

UI: Embedded tools can correctly provide navigation breadcrumbs


Bugfix SUP-5756

When a page was rendered in preview or edit mode with Aloha Editor, the response contained the content-type of the page, but returned basically HTML code. This caused the browser to not display the response, but an error instead. This has been changed now, so that the content-type of the response will always be text/html.


Bugfix SUP-5856

When creating or updating a page over the REST API or with the new UI, and setting a filename without or with a wrong extension (that is: an extension that does not match the extension enforced by the page‘s template), the correct extension was not automatically appended. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-5748

UI: Show correct usage count after new page variation created


Bugfix SUP-5755

UI: Show search field more visible

Bugfix SUP-5925

When values of static datasource were changed in the GCMS, the values were stored with new global IDs, which caused problems during synchronization using the devtools. This has been fixed now, the global IDs of datasource values will not change during updating.
