Enhancement 🔗 Link

The REST-API method /CNPortletapp/rest/page/newtag/{id} now also supports creation of a tag as copy of another tag (in the same page or in another page).


Enhancement 🔗 Link

Modified the Gentics Content.Node Javascript API to load also folders, images andfiles for updating them. This will ensure that the API objects will have allpossible object tags set (even if they are not yet filled in the backend).


Enhancement 🔗 Link

Added option “update“ to REST API calls for loading folders, images or filesto load them for the purpose of updating. Currently, folders, iamges and filesare not locked in the backend, but it is still recommended to set the “update”parameter to true, when the returned object shall be modified. This will ensurethat the object contains all possible object tags, even if they are not yet filled.


Bugfix 🔗 Link

Multiple javascript errors within the adminstrativ interface were fixed. Previously the tooltip plugin caused javascript errors within the tagfill dialog when a new tagtype was created. jQuery 1.4.2 was replaced with jQuery 1.6.1 in various places. Live editor page editing will still use jQuery 1.4.2 due to compatibility reasons.
