Gentics Content.Node Changelog Summary

Gentics Content.Node 5.29.21


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 5.29.20


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-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 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.


Gentics Content.Node 5.29.19


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-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-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-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.


Gentics Content.Node 5.29.18


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-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.


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.


Gentics Content.Node 5.29.17


Bugfix SUP-6115

UI: When saving a page with an empty filename, derive it from the page name

UI: Remove UI version from user menu and login


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.

UI: Fix styling of overlay tagfill modals


Bugfix SUP-6361

UI: Fix styling in node properties


Bugfix GTXPE-248

Gentics Content.Node 5.29.16


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-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-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 5.29.15

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-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-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-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-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 5.29.14


Bugfix SUP-5755

UI: Show search field more visible


Bugfix SUP-5748

UI: Show correct usage count after new page variation created


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.


Gentics Content.Node 5.29.13


Bugfix SUP-5894

UI: Add option to keep existing filename when replacing item


Bugfix SUP-3564

The script /Node/bin/nodectl has been modified to return a proper exit status when the Tomcat cannot be started.


Bugfix SUP-6035

In special cases when a publish process failed, this could cause some connections to the backend database to remain open. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-6017

When the feature nice_urls was activated, publishing of pages in a channel into the filesystem did not work, if the master node did not have publishing into the filesystem activated. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-4942

Fixed a bug where the printing of error messages didn‘t work correctly. This could affect the error messages logged in the Scheduler logs.


Gentics Content.Node 5.29.12


Enhancement GTXPE-257

Improved the help text for the advanced search feature in the UI.


Bugfix SUP-5876

When a tag containing a visible overview part was rendered in edit mode, the page was not editable any more, if the overview contained the page itself. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-5726

UI: Fix styling for favourites stars to be more visible


Bugfix SUP-5727

UI: Fix opening an item in the editor when clicking on a page in the favourites list

Bugfix SUP-5823

UI: Fix permissions when changing node in repository browser


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.


Bugfix SUP-5967

When a request with an invalid session ID was made to the Rest API, the used transaction has not been returned to the connection pool. After a while this could lock up the CMS because the connection pool was exhausted. This has been fixed.


Gentics Content.Node 5.29.11


Bugfix SUP-5871

Fixed specifying a Unix socket in the MySQL setting $SETTINGS[‘server‘] not working anymore.


Bugfix SUP-5892

Fixed the live url search feature. This was not working on initial app load, but only after changing nodes for the first time.


Gentics Content.Node 5.29.10


Bugfix SUP-5846

Sometimes, when starting an autoupdate, the status was not shown correctly: All steps were immediately shown as succeeded, even though the update was still running. This has been fixed now.


Gentics Content.Node 5.29.9


Optional Manual Change

An error in the CMS integration of Activiti Processes Webapps, which caused the Activiti UI and processes to fail

with a javax.ws.rs.NotAuthorizedException has been fixed.
Installations using the Activiti Integration need to have the Activiti Server updated to get this fix.


Bugfix SUP-5831

When setting a nice URL to a page, the uniqueness check failed to detect pages, which were published with the same nice URL, but later changed to another nice URL (without publishing). This could cause subsequent errors in the publish process and has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-5700

UI: FormGenerator button handling fixed for Internet Explorer & slower systems.


Gentics Content.Node 5.29.8


Gentics Content.Node 5.29.7


Bugfix SUP-5804

When a tag is selected (by clicking on it) and then removed with the keyboard, the user will now get a confirmation dialog for deleting the tag. This behaviour is now consistent with deleting a tag with the “delete” button.

Bugfix SUP-5754

UI: Fix repository browser selection for “image” overviews

When templates were pushed to a master node from a localized folder, the templates would not be shown in that folder anymore (neither in the channel, nor the master) due to an incorrect assignment. This error has been fixed and the update will automatically repair the incorrect assigments, so that any incorrectly assigned templates will reappear.


Gentics Content.Node 5.29.5


Bugfix SUP-5714

UI: Fix unwanted navigation away from the page being edited when clicking certain buttons or links.

UI: Show correct error messages


Bugfix SUP-5667

Requests to the REST API to create/update objects with too long data (e.g. more than 255 characters for a page‘s name) failed with an error. The behaviour has been changed now, so that too long data will automatically be truncated.


Bugfix SUP-5665

UI: Fix form submission via “enter” key when creating pages and folders in IE11.


Bugfix SUP-5666

UI: Disable button when sending form to prevent double click


Bugfix SUP-5668

UI: When editing a page, the page was marked as being modified too often (even when there was no actual change), which caused a warning about unsaved changes when leaving the edit mode (e.g. switching to preview).
