When a new Channel was created, the indexed objects were not updated and therefore no objects could be found when using the advanced search in the channel. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-8998 Link to this entry

The endpoints for advanced search (using elasticsearch) did not support paging properly. Due to permission constraints, the number of returned hits was possibly smaller than the given pagesize, even if more valid hits would have been available. Also the returned total hit size was possibly higher than the valid total hit size. The implementation has been changed to properly consider permissions now, so that the number of returned hits and the total hit size are correct now.
This change requires indexing of permission properties, which will be done at the first start of the CMS after the update.

Publishing into Mesh ContentRepositories could fail, if pages or files changed filenames in a way that if the objects were written to the Mesh ContentRepository in the “wrong” order would result in a (temporary) uniqueness conflict. The publish process has been modified to better handle such situations.

Bugfix SUP-11604 Link to this entry

When localizing published (and possibly modified) pages, the exact page status of the localized copy was unclear: Although the localized copy appeared to be “offline”, in reality, the inherited page was still published for the channel. The behaviour of localizing pages has been changed, so that the localized copy will now reflect the current online and modification status of the former inherited page:

If the inherited page was online and not modified, the localized page will also be online.
If the inherited page was online and modified, the localized page will also be online and
modified (and will have two versions).

The behaviour of importing pages has been fixed:

Pages, which were published and modified when exported, will now not be (re)published during the import,

If the page already existed on the target system, it will remain in its previous online state, but will be modified with the imported version.
Pages, which were planned and modified when exported, will now not be (re)planned. The behviour is similar to
pages, which were published and modified when exported.

Optional Manual Change

On some installations, we noticed that on Redhat 7.7 systems, the genticscms.service CMS systemd startup script produced errors when starting the cms. This happened because the specified pid file belongs to a diffent user (node) which is not allowed, at least on newer Redhat systems. If your system is affected you need to adapt the genticscms.service startup script by adding the line User=node in the [Service] section and reload systemd with systemctl daemon-reload.

When inline editable parts are included into the template of a Velocity tag using the node-Notation, the special VTL characters # and $ will now be escaped (using the escape tool of the velocitytools imp).

Enhancement SUP-5855 Link to this entry

When a new page was created, special characters in the automatically generated filename were automatically replaced by the configured standard sanitize replacement character. The default is “-“.

sanitized: “Infos — Important-.pdf“

This has been enhanced so that multiple special characters will only be replaced by one replacement character:

new sanitized: “Infos-Important-.pdf”

Publish (or republish) a page at a specified time
Take a page offline at a specified time

When a page is scheduled for being published at a specific time, a new major version of the page will be created immediately. When the scheduled time is reached, exactly this version of the page will be published, even if the page was modified afterwards.
Users without publish permission will now be able to request a page to be taken offline. Such requests will be treated exactly like the requests to publish or republish pages: Users in supergroups with publish permission will be informed and the pages will be shown in the publish queue. From there, users with publish permission can either approve the request for taking the page offline or reassign the page to the editor.

Some issues when publishing into Mesh ContentRepositories have been fixed:

Pages, Folders, Images or Files having global IDs in the “old style“ (generated with a sequence number, like “ABCD.12345“)
were published to Mesh Objects with UUIDs that were not necessarily unique. The transformation of those global IDs into Mesh UUIDs has been changed, which means, that affected objects need to be removed from the Mesh CR manually and republished. The ContentRepository action “Check data” will detect such Mesh nodes.
When publishing multiple channels into a Mesh ContentRepository, the publish process could fail with various errors.

When rendering a page preview by posting data to the configured Mesh Preview URL the behaviour has been changed so that embedded tags that have to be partly rendered in the frontend will now work exactly like for the published page.

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).

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.

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“).

Bugfix SUP-6439 Link to this entry

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)

Changed the Tomcat maxThreads setting to 256 for the AJP connector in server.xml in the default package configuration. If your Apache webserver is allowing more than 200 connections you will need to make sure that the Tomcat can also handle at least as many connections (MaxThreads) as the MaxClients setting in Apache (default 256). Please configure this in server.xml for AJP connector if not already done in order to avoid errors.

Optional Manual Change

Updated the Oracle JDBC connector to 5.1.41 in order to fix a bug with MySQL 5.7 where the CMS would throw an error when trying to check and update the MySQL database triggers. For newer MySQL server versions the JDBC connector will now use SSL for connections by default. However SSL also comes with a performance impact. If you don‘t need SSL for connections to the MySQL database (eg.: when MySQL is running on the same server), we recommend to turn SSL off by adding useSSL=false to the MySQL JDBC URL.

Link to this entry

This is done in the node.conf of your cms installation. By default the configuration file is found at /Node/etc/conf.d/node.db.conf. If there is no such file – create it.
In the node.db.conf create the following entry:
bc. $SETTINGS[“jdbcparameters“] = “useSSL=false“;
If the jdbcparameters index is already set concatenate parameters with “&“ like
bc. $SETTINGS[“jdbcparameters“] = “someOtherParam=1&useSSL=false”;
When using SSL, server certificate verification should be enabled and configured properly according to the MySQL documentation. See Connecting Securely Using SSL for more information.

Bugfix SUP-3873 Link to this entry

When an update of an import would remove a template in the CMS, which is still used by pages, the resulting conflict could be handled with the behaviour “Overwrite“ which would remove the template and leave the pages in an inconsistent state. This has been fixed now, such conflicts can now only be handled with behaviour “Ignore” (leaving the template untouched).

When a node is copied (with pages) and objects reference pages in the wastebin, the copies of the objects would reference the same pages, which caused unexpected results, when the reference pages were restored from the wastebin.

Generation of the XML files has been fixed now, so that the invalid characters will be removed from the names. Additionally, the handling of invalid XML files while importing has been improved to provide explicit error messages hinting at the root cause.

Bugfix SUP-3819 Link to this entry

When a node publishes into a multichannelling aware contentrepository, all channels of the node will automatically also publish into that contentrepository. This auto-assignment was not shown in the list of nodes or considered when checking the data of the contentrepository for channels that were created after the node was assigned to the contentrepository. In such cases, the result of the “Check data“ operation for the contentrepository would incorrectly state, that the channel was not assigned to the contentrepository and its data would be removed in the next publish run (which was not the case). This has been fixed now. The “Check data” operation will correctly consider the auto-assignment of channels to multichannelling aware contentrepositories exactly like the publish process does.

The permission checks when localizing objects over the REST API were too restrictive for users with permissions restricted to channels. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3808 Link to this entry

When an object with localized copies in channels was moved (in its master node) and the node published into a Content Repository with Instant Publishing enabled, all localized copies were also instantly written into the Content Repository. This could cause the move process to take longer than expected and was inconsistent behaviour (since Instant Publishing normally does not affect inherited or localized copies in channels, when the master object was changed). This has been fixed now, moving objects will trigger Instant Publishing only for the master object itself.

After modifying a tag in the tagfill when editing a page the tag in the page was not updated correctly if the root element of the tag changed. For example, if the root element from the tag changes from a span to a div, the updated page would still render the block with a span root tag, which could also lead to invalid markup. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3614 Link to this entry

If the startpage of a folder was moved to the wastebin (deleted) the flag symbol indicating the startpage was still visible in the page list for other language variants of the same page. This could lead to the assumption that the folder has a startpage set when the startpage was deleted instead. This has been fixed.

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.

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 , this was incorrectly not resolved to the name of the page in the overview, but the name of the page containing the overview.

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.

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-3320 Link to this entry

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.

When using multithreaded publishing and a publish process failed, this could cause additional exceptions “Cannot add job to Multiconnection transaction: Worker thread is not running” to be logged.

A tagpart of type “URL (page)“ was only treated as being “internal“, when the radio button for “internal“ was selected AND an actual internal page was selected.

This has been fixed now, the property “internal” will now exactly reflect the setting of the radio buttons, regardless of whether an actual page is selected or not.

The synchronization of pages with changes made to template tags was inconsistent and has been modified:

When a template is modified in the UI, and saved without synchronizing pages, no page will be modified (prior to this fix, removed template tags were immediately also removed from the pages).
Synchronizing the pages with the template will now also remove superfluous tags in the page if the corresponding template tag was removed or changed to not be editable in pages.
When a template is imported, all pages will be synchronized in the same way.

This fix contains a change in the database structure, which could cause the update to take longer than usual.

The synchronization of pages with changes made to template tags was inconsistent and has been modified:

When a template is modified in the UI, and saved without synchronizing pages, no page will be modified (prior to this fix, removed template tags were immediately also removed from the pages).
Synchronizing the pages with the template will now also remove superfluous tags in the page if the corresponding template tag was removed or changed to not be editable in pages.
When a template is imported, all pages will be synchronized in the same way.

Bugfix SUP-1816 Link to this entry

When several occurrences of the same tag (that is with the same tag ID, not just the same tag type) were present in a page, the Aloha editor would only convert the first one into an aloha-block. This behavior has been changed, so that every occurrence of a tag will become a block and get edit and delete buttons.
Note that having several occurrences of the same tag should be avoided. It is not supported in Aloha editor since it implies invalid HTML markup and can only be achieved by editing the contents of an editable directly (for example using the tag fill dialog). This fix just prevents subsequent errors when a tag is not converted to an aloha-block. The different occurrences of a tag are not necessarily synchronized.

Bugfix SUP-2112 Link to this entry

When a page, which is published and is the target of a link in another page is put into the wastebin, the editor of the other page received an inbox message about the invalid link with the reason, that the link target was taken offline. While this is technically correct (the page is first taken offline and then put into the wastebin), it might be misleading. Therefore the inbox message for that case has been changed to be like when the page is deleted and not put into the wastebin.

When linking/unlinking a single template from folders, where the user does not have permission to link the template to a folder where the template is already link, the user would always get an error message stating the missing permission. However, linking/unlinking the template to/from folders where the user has the permission still worked as expected. This issue has been fixed now, so that the unnecessary message will not be shown any more.

Bugfix SUP-2109 Link to this entry

In inbox messages the links to pages in multichannel nodes where not resolved correctly. The link would always point to the page in the channel the user last worked in. This has been fixed: links to pages in messages will now always open the page in the channel, where the page can be edited without localizing it.

Gentics CMS 5.22.0

Bugfix SUP-2789 Link to this entry

The synchronization of pages with changes made to template tags was inconsistent and has been modified:

When a template is modified in the UI, and saved without synchronizing pages, no page will be modified (prior to this fix, removed template tags were immediately also removed from the pages).
Synchronizing the pages with the template will now also remove superfluous tags in the page if the corresponding template tag was removed or changed to not be editable in pages.
When a template is imported, all pages will be synchronized in the same way.

This fix contains a change in the database structure, which could cause the update to take longer than usual.

The synchronization of pages with changes made to template tags was inconsistent and has been modified:

When a template is modified in the UI, and saved without synchronizing pages, no page will be modified (prior to this fix, removed template tags were immediately also removed from the pages).
Synchronizing the pages with the template will now also remove superfluous tags in the page if the corresponding template tag was removed or changed to not be editable in pages.
When a template is imported, all pages will be synchronized in the same way.

Manual Change

On systems running PHP Version 5.3.9 or higher, there is a new configuration option max_input_vars which should be set to a higher number.

Link to this entry

This setting limits the number of input variables, that can be posted to the server. The default setting (1000) prevents e.g. successful linking of templates to folders, if the folder tree shows more than 500 folders. We therefore recommend to raise the value of max_input_vars to e.g. 10000 in the file gtx_gcn_custom.ini. You have to restart the apache webserver after that. The path to this file varies between distributions:

Suse and Debian: /etc/php5/conf.d/
Redhat: /etc/php.d/

When using the GenticsImageStore for images published into the filesystem across nodes that share the same hostname or use a separate publish directory for binary contents, the resized images were not published into the correct paths.

This could cause the next publish run to take longer than usual.

When creating a new content tag that is named automatically, a name would be selected for it, although there is already a template tag by the same name, that is NOT editable in page. This name would typically be something like your_custom_tag1. This may cause confusion or even prevent a page from being saved in the backend. The new behavior is to only use automatically generated tag names, that are not used by any templatetags associated with any of the pagevariants using the content to be edited. Collisions may still occur if localizations of the template use a different set of templatetag names and there are no corresponding page localizations.

Bugfix SUP-506 Link to this entry

The Gentics Content.Node Javascript API has been changed, so that TagAPI objects will no longer be cached. The _data of TagAPI objects always reference the tag data in their parent (e.g. a PageAPI object), so there is no need to cache the TagAPI object as well. This fixes problems caused by the PageAPI object being refreshed in the cache, while the TagAPI objects were not refreshed, which caused them to no longer reference the tag data of the PageAPI object. The result was that changes in the TagAPI object were no longer reflected in the PageAPI object and saving the page would unintentionally restore old tag values.

When changing the inheritance takes longer than normal (default is 5 seconds), the user will be informed and the process will be continued in the background.

Bugfix SUP-562 Link to this entry

When changing the inheritance of folder structures takes longer (because many objects and/or many channels are affected), this could interfere with a publish process running at the same time. It could happen that the publish process would fail due to a database lock wait timeout. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-629 Link to this entry

When editing a page with aloha editor using an older version of Internet Explorer (like IE9), clicking on menu items with unsaved changes in editables would warn the user twice about unsaved changes. When clicking on a menu item of the “page“ top menu, the page was saved, even if the user approved to leave the page with unsaved changes (twice). The behaviour has been changed now: when clicking on a “page” menu item, the page will be saved before the action is triggered. When clicking on another menu item (navigating away from the edited page), the user will get one notification about leaving the page with unsaved changes.

Bugfix SUP-610 Link to this entry

When fetching an object via the REST API in edit mode, tags that were inactive, but should become active when edited were marked as being “inactive“. When the fetched object was saved back (without any changes), the tags would be set to “inactive“. This has been changed, so that tags in that state will now be marked as being “active”, if the object is fetched in edit mode.

The migration job for globalids to uuids has been made more failsafe. Before the old tables are removed, a final check will be done, whether all data has been migrated completely. Additionally, the migration process will now be done in batches to reduce the memory consumption in the database for every single update statement.

Bugfix SUP-387 Link to this entry

When editing a page with Aloha Editor and an editable only contained a table, it was not possible to add content before or after the table. This has been fixed now: When the editable is activated, paragraphs will be created as landing areas for the cursor.

Bugfix SUP-401 Link to this entry

When editing a page with Aloha Editor, the following editing actions would lead to unexpected behaviour:

Remove a tag from an editable, where the tag itself contains an editable
Create a new tag of the same type in the editable in a way, that the new tag would get the same name as the one deleted before
Open the tagfill dialog to fill some data into the new tag
Close the tagfill dialog with the “Ok” button
Reopen the tagfill dialog of the new tag

Following these steps, the tagfill dialog would now be empty (not showing the data entered before). This problem has been fixed now, so that editing pages in the way described above will work as expected.

Bugfix SUP-456 Link to this entry

When editing a page using Aloha Editor with Internet Explorer, and adding new links to the page, the click on “Save” in the assistant frame showed a message, informing the user that he was about to leave the page with unsaved changes. This has been fixed now. Additionally, when saving a page that contained new links, some additional AJAX calls to the backend were done (in the background), which caused saving to be slower than necessary. Those AJAX calls have been reduced to the necessary minimum.

Bugfix SUP-434 Link to this entry

Bugfix SUP-187 Link to this entry

When defining the tags in a template, it is now possible to save an updated list of tags without synchronizing the pages (by clicking the ‘Apply‘ button) or to save and synchronize the pages (by clicking the new ‘Apply and synchronize pages‘ button). Additionally, if errors occur (e.g. because some pages are currently locked by other users), the whole synchronization process does not fail (and has to be repeated), but all pages, that can be synchronized will be synchronized. If the action is triggered again (by clicking ‘Apply and synchronize pages‘ without actually changing the tag definitions, the remaining pages will be synchronized. Additionally, there is now an additional view (“Tagstate” via the template‘s top menu) that will show, how many pages are in sync or out of sync with the template regarding the editable tag definitions.

Bugfix SUP-480 Link to this entry

When copying pages took longer than the configured timeout (due to high load on the server, number of copied pages or overall system performance), the user got an SGB, which suggested that copying failed, which was not the case. This has been fixed now: When copying pages takes longer than 5 seconds, the user will get a message, that the process will be continued in the background. Once copying is done, the user will receive an instant message. Additionally, when copying using the REST API, it is now possible to specify the maximum “foreground” time in milliseconds. The default value is 0, which will block the call until copying is done (which is the old behaviour).

Bugfix SUP-187 Link to this entry

The algorithm to check whether a new page version must be created and to create the page version used many sql statements and therefore was inefficient. This algorithm has been changed now to be more efficient, especially when no page version must be created. This will affect actions like:

Saving a page (with or without changes)
Publishing a page

Bugfix SUP-450 Link to this entry

When saving a page that contained a tag using one of the list parts (List, List (unordered), List (ordered)) the entries of the list part were merged into a single entry. The same happened, when migrating such a page with the tagtype migration, if at least one post processor was used. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-309 Link to this entry

Some problems with copying or importing templates in the backend have been fixed:

When a template was copied into a folder of a node (not a channel), it was internally marked as belonging to a channel. This could subsequently lead to erros during the publish process.
When templates that were incorrectly bound to a channel were exported and imported into another system,
they were incorrectly bound to a channel on the target system as well.
When a template was copied into the same folder in a channel, it was copied into the master instead.

This update will also correct incorrectly bound templates in the database.

When the localized copy of a page was taken offline, instant publishing would replace the page with the inherited page, instead of completely removing it from the content repository. Only the next regular publish run would correct this and remove the page from the content repository. This has been fixed now, so that instant publishing will correctly remove the page.

Creating a page variant in multichannelling environments with localized language versions would sometimes fail or introduce consistency problems to the newly created page variant.

Gentics CMS 5.19.4

Bugfix SUP-73 Link to this entry

When multiple requests to translate a given page into a specific language were sent at the same time (or in a way that a new request was sent before the previous request returned), it was possible that multiple language variants in the requested language were created for the same page. Only one of the language variants was visible in the backend, but possibly both were published. This has been fixed now. Translating pages will now be synchronized (per page), so that multiple parallel requests will only create a single language variant, which will be returned by all of those requests.

Warning: potential downtime!
This update includes some major changes to the backend database. The changes will be done during the first Tomcat startup after the update has been installed. Depending on the size of the backend database, configuration settings and overall system performance, this may last very long (up to several hours) during which the system will not be available to users. Errors during the migration process will be logged in the server log and will cause the Tomcat to not start properly See Bugfix RT58702 for further details.

The user will get a message that the process is continued in the background and will get an instant message when the process is completed.

Deleting one or more files caused an error if a workflow is activated that moves deleted files to another folder. This has been fixed.

Bugfix RT58702 Link to this entry

The generation and internal storage of global IDs in the backend database has been changed:

global IDs are no longer stored in a separate table ‘mappedglobalid‘, but are stored in columns ‘uuid‘ of the tables, that need to have global IDs
new generated global IDs will be constructed as [globalprefix].[UUID] where [globalprefix] consists of the first four characters of the systems license key and [UUID] is a UUID
The tables ‘mappedglobalid‘ and ‘mappedglobalidsequence‘ are no longer needed and are dropped (after the relevant data is migrated to the columns [table].uuid

This change will be done during the system startup after this update and might take some time (depending on the size of the database and the overall system performance).
It is strongly recommended to make a backup of the system before doing the update.
The new generation and storage of global IDs fixes the following problems:

Inserting into a very large table mappedglobalid could cause performance problems affecting the whole system (due to locks)
Separation of global IDs from the data records could easily lead to inconsistencies
If an older version of table mappedlobalidsequence was restored (e.g. from a backup), already existing global IDs could be re-generated. This could lead to problems if data from the state before restoring the backup was exported.
Different systems using the same license key would create identical global IDs, belonging to different objects. Since global IDs basically are UUIDs the chance of duplicates is minimal.

However, there are some drawbacks:

It is not possible to import data into a system with the old global IDs (that does not have this change), if the data was exported from a system with the new global IDs.
Migrating the existing data might take a while (but of course this is only done once).

Moving files/images across channel trees would always return an error message.

Bugfix SUP-78 Link to this entry

When moving folder structures within master nodes of multichannelling environments, all channel local objects in that structure were pushed to the master node as well. This has been changed now. Objects within moved folder structures will now only be moved between channels, if this is necessary to maintain channel integrity.
Example:

Folder A is moved from the master node to a channel (of the same master node).
Page B in Folder A, which belonged to the master node is also moved to the channel (because it cannot belong to the master, when the folder does not belong to the master).
Page C in Folder A, which belonged to the channel is not moved (already belongs to the target channel).
Page D in Folder A, which belonged to a subchannel is also not moved, because it does not violate the channel integrity.

Bugfix RT58739 Link to this entry

Running the purgeversions could possibly remove a page version, even if the content was still used by another page variant, if the page variants were not in sync.

Feature RT58501 Link to this entry

Image support enhancement: In older versions, only files that are supported by the Gentics Image Store were handled as images and put into the list of images in folders. This had the downside that their mimetype was set to “application/octet-stream“. This caused problems with some image types likes .svg because the browser couldn‘t display the image because of the wrong mimetype. Now all images that have a mimetype starting with “image/” will also be listed as images by GCN. Additional a notice will be displayed to the users when they try to select an image in the repository browser (image tags) that is maybe not supported by all browsers. When updating to this version, files that have already been uploaded in older versions will NOT be changed.

they were incorrectly bound to a channel on the target system as well.
When a template was copied into the same folder in a channel, it was copied into the master instead.

This update will also correct incorrectly bound templates in the database.

When a page contains an image and the user has no page/image/file viewing permissions but only permissions for viewing the folder of the image, the user was not shown any useful error message. Instead the admin got an error log message. Now the user gets an error message indicating that he has no page/image/file viewing permissions in the folder of the image in the page, so that he can contact an group administrator to add the permissions. When editing the page, the user could change the image to another image in the folder that he has no page/image/file viewing permissions. Listing pages and images without said permissions was also possible via the REST-Api. This has been fixed so that the user cannot list images of a folder he has no permission to.

When creating a page, the page filename was truncated to the maximum filename length only BEFORE the sanitizing. Due to the character replacement in the sanitizing the filename could get longer. When translating a page the new filename was cut correctly, resulting in a different filename length.
When creating a page with a page filename that exceeds the maximum filename length, the language abbreviation could be deleted from the filename.
When translating a page with a page filename that exceeds the maximum filename length, the filename could be wrongly truncated if the filename contains a dot “.”.

The behaviour has been changed now, so that it is not possible to put a page into the queue, if it is missing mandatory tags.

Bugfix RT58544 Link to this entry

When an editor using Aloha Editor on Internet Explorer tried to leave the edited page (e.g. by clicking into the tree) with unsaved changes, a confirm message was shown, whether the changes should be saved before leaving the page. However, saving never worked, regardless of whether “OK“ or “Cancel” was clicked. Since it is not possible to save the page in an asynchronous call when leaving the page (the browser just would not issue the asynchronous save request), the behaviour when just leaving the page with unsaved changes has now been unified for all browsers: The user will get a notification message, explaining that unsaved changes would be lost when leaving the page.

Saving the tag definitions of a template possibly takes some time, because it could affect many pages. This could lead to a timeout in the request, which resulted in an SGB, although the process of saving the tag definition was successful. This has been changed now, so that if saving the tag definitions takes longer, the process will be taken to the background and the user will get a notification, when saving is complete.

Bugfix RT58561 Link to this entry

Some issues of export and import of channel structures have been fixed.
For these fixes, it is important that both the source and target system are update to the newest version of GCN, before doing the export and import.

When importing a master node together with at least one channel, that contained at least one localized folder, into a system, where neither of the nodes already existed, it could happen, that the import failed with an “Internal error“.
When exporting a master with channel and subchannel, it could happen that the this channel structure was not imported correctly.
When resolving a conflict with behaviour “copy“, some parts of the new created object possibly had the same global IDs as the
imported object, which could lead to “Internal errors“ in subsequent imports.
When resolving a conflict with behaviour “copy” and then doing another import of the same bundle, the conflict
would not be detected again, which could lead to unwanted overwriting of the local object.

Bugfix RT58570 Link to this entry

In some situations, dirting of folders upon changed object properties might not work, because a new object tag object had been created since the folder was last published. Storing of dependencies has been improved to be insensitive against such situations. It is important to note, that this change will only affect objects, that are republished after this update.

When editing with Aloha Editor and an editable is activated that has a block element (like a table or tag) as first and/or last element, an empty paragraph needs to be inserted at the very start and/or end of the editable in order to provide a landing place for the cursor. When using Internet Explorer in IE7 mode, this did not work properly. Sometimes no paragraph was added, sometimes it contained a superfluous break element and thus had two lines. This has been fixed now.

When changing the tagtype of a template tag, that is editable in pages, not all caches where cleared correctly after the tags in the pages were changed. This could cause subsequent errors. E.g. when editing a page afterwards, it could happen, that the page was stored with the original tagtype. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT58490 Link to this entry

When migrating existing projects to Aloha Editor, live editable tagtypes that use a part like Text, Text/HTML or Text/HTML (long) (which will replace newlines to br-Tags while rendering) would add superfluous br-Tags every time a page is edited with Aloha Editor. Changing the part to HTML would not change the stored content and newlines stored in the contents would no longer be transformed into br-Tags.
For this reason, the behavior of saving contents into such parts has been changed to strip all contained newlines. In this way, the editables can still be used with Aloha Editor without any further migration necessary.
It is mandatory to activate the feature aloha_annotate_editables for this to work. See the Aloha Editor Migration Guide for details.

Manual Change

Apache webserver with new PHP version (package migration) & Apache Tomcat 7 update

Link to this entry

Important: If your current version is GCN 5.15.* or older, do NOT update to GCN 5.18.* directly. In this case update to GCN 5.17.* first, then do the package migration as explained in 1.) and then update to 5.18.*. Otherwise the update will not work.

1.) The Gentics Content.Node package now no longer supports the legacy packaged Apache webserver that was included in the /Node folder. Please migrate your Content.Node package before updating your system according to the migration guide. PHP 5.3 or higher is now mandatory to run Gentics Content.Node.

2.) Due to the Apache Tomcat 7 update it is mandatory to update some configuration files in /Node/etc/tomcat/ These configuration files may contain custom settings and should be inspected before updating. Please follow the configuration update steps before you continue with the Update. If not executed, your installation will not be able to startup. In that case you can just update your configuration files and restart the Apache Tomcat via nodectl.

Sanitize filename feature: Fixed the hint message being shown, even if the feature is properly configured. Fixed handling of filenames containing dots. Fixed sanitizing of the filename extension.

Bugfix RT58613 Link to this entry

Some bugs in the sanitize name feature have been fixed:

When changing the standard configuration the form validation when creating a page or editing the page properties was wrong and a wrong error message was shown. Now this form validation is turned off for all custom configurations.
When creating a page, the page filename was truncated to the maximum filename length only BEFORE the sanitizing. Due to the character replacement in the sanitizing the filename could get longer. When translating a page the new filename was cut correctly, resulting in a different filename length.
When creating a page with a page filename that exceeds the maximum filename length, the language abbreviation could be deleted from the filename.
When translating a page with a page filename that exceeds the maximum filename length, the filename could be wrongly truncated if the filename contains a dot “.”.

When importing a master node together with at least one channel, that contained at least one localized folder, into a system, where neither of the nodes already existed, it could happen, that the import failed with an “Internal error“.
When exporting a master with channel and subchannel, it could happen that the this channel structure was not imported correctly.
When resolving a conflict with behaviour “copy“, some parts of the new created object possibly had the same global IDs as the
imported object, which could lead to “Internal errors“ in subsequent imports.
When resolving a conflict with behaviour “copy” and then doing another import of the same bundle, the conflict
would not be detected again, which could lead to unwanted overwriting of the local object.

When uploading new files or changing files, the uniqueness check for the filename (with publish directory) was not done case insensitively.

When a page was localized in a channel, the properties “languageset“ and “pagevariants“ were triggered for all language or page variants of the page in the master node and for all channels.

In some cases, due to incorrect tagmap data, the content repository synchronization during the publish process would detect changes in the content repository structure every time. This caused “changing” the structure on every publish run, which did not actually change anything, but just took some unnecessary time. This has been fixed now, the content repository structure will now only be modified if really necessary.

Bugfix RT58217 Link to this entry

When creating page variants on a system using multichannelling, variants created in nodes (not channels) were also marked as belonging to a channel. This caused the “synchronisation” of page variants to fail: When a variant is modified and published, a new version containing the new content is supposed to be created for all page variants, which did not happen in these cases. This has been fixed now. The update will also correct the incorrect channel setting of the page variants. Missing page versions will be added and affected pages will be scheduled to be republished in the next publish run.

Bugfix RT58213 Link to this entry

When a page was scheduled to be published at a certain time in the future, and was then processed by a publish run with multithreaded publishing, the publishtimestamp that was written into the Content Repository was not the one from the publish process but from the time, the editor scheduled the publishing.

Implementations using the Datasource PartType did not work as expected. Dirting of dependent objects did not work, when tags containing a Datasource PartType were changed and doing imports of tags with Datasource PartTypes could cause Internal Errors.

Rendering performance for objects from channels has been improved
Some frequently used data will now be prepared and kept in memory during the publish process.
This slightly increases the memory consumption, but reduces the number of necessary database queries during the publish process
When publishing into a multichannelling aware Content Repository, the setting $MULTITHREADED_PUBLISHING["batchsize"] can be used to increase performance of writing into the Content Repository.
Publishing of files/images and folders into a Content Repository has been improved by preparing the data for groups of objects, which reduces the number of necessary sql statements.
Handling of very large publish tables has been improved. The statements have been optimized for performance and the new feature omit_publish_table allows reducing the size.
When the feature resumable_publish_process is used, every object that is successfully published needs to be removed from the publish_queue. The delete statements will now be batched together to increase performance.
The new setting $CONTENTREPOSITORY_FETCHSIZE allows to configure a higher fetchsize to be used by the JDBC connector for the Content Repository. This will increase the performance for reading data from the Content Repository during the publish process.

The REST Model for pages and templates has been extended to contain multichannelling information. Also the REST Model of Properties has been extended to support all existing PartTypes. See the Gentics Content.Node REST API Documentation for details.

When cancelling a page while editing it in Aloha Editor or using the REST API, the global ID of the page might change, which would cause unexpected behavior when the page was exported to another system, since the page would then have different global IDs on the systems and could not be overwritten by a subsequent export. This has been fixed now, the global IDs of pages will no longer change when cancelling editing. Pages that are already affected by changed global IDs need to manually be modified if necessary.

Bugfix RT57892 Link to this entry

The process of resizing images during a publish process with the GenticsImageStore has been modified to be more stable. Before this fix, images were fetched from the cache or resized (if not found in the cache) while subsequently reading data from the database. When many images needed to be resized this could take a long time and could cause the open database statement to run into a timeout. In these cases, the publish process would fail. Now, the database statement to get the information, which images are resized using the GenticsImageStore is processed before the actual image resizing takes place. Resizing the images may still take long, but will not cause a timeout in the database any more, so the likeliness of publish failures is reduced.

Bugfix RT57921 Link to this entry

Time management will now also be done in nodes, that have publishing disabled. Pages affected from time management will be set offline or online due to time management, but those changes will still not be published as long as publishing is disabled for the node. This will enable time management in situations, where pages from nodes with publishing disabled are inherited into channels that have publishing enabled. Additionally, time management is more efficient now, which reduces the publishing time for every publish process.

Bugfix RT57966 Link to this entry

When rendering a channel local page for editing without specifying a nodeId, this failed because the page could not be loaded from the master channel.

The version of jQuery UI that is used by the repository browser in the tagfill dialog has been upgraded from 1.8.1 to 1.9.1 . This has been done in order to fix a bug that prevented the minibrowser‘s left and right panels from being resizable in IE9 when $FEATURE[“disableIE7StandardsMode“] is set to “true”. The jQuery UI that is used in the tag fill is not supported as offical API by Gentics Content.Node . If any implemenation made use of it, those implementations may be affected by this change.

Optional Manual Change

Multichannelling ContentRepository changes

Link to this entry

Optimized attributes of multichannelling aware content repositories are not stored in the table contentattribute any more. Since the data for optimized attributes is stored in quick columns of the table contentmap, the additionaly storage in the table contentattribute was redundant an unnecessary. Reducing the number of entries in the table contentattribute will reduce the memory consumption of the database and will improve the overall performance.
When publishing into multichannelling aware content repositories, it is important to use the recent version of Gentics Portal.Node (>= 4.5.0) or the Gentics Content.Connector for reading from this content repository, so that optimized attributes will be read correctly.

Optional Manual Change

Distribution binary support

Link to this entry

With this release you no longer have to use the included package Apache webserver, package PHP binaries and various utility binaries. The distribution tools, distribution Apache webserver and distribution PHP installation can be used instead. Thus support for distribution Apache webserver and PHP has been added to Gentics Content.Node.
The optional changes include:

Removal of various binary tools in the /Node/bin directory. (eg.: rsync, lftp, curl, wget..)
Removal of various binary libraries in /Node/lib
Removal pf Apache Webserver binaries
Removal of PHP binaries
Removal pf MySQL binaries
Updated node.conf structure

Bugfix RM13359 Link to this entry

When user assignment to a group with the permission to modify tagtypes of several nodes was restricted to only some of that nodes, the list of construct did not always show the tagtype icons accordingly (icons for tagtypes that are not editable by the user should be displayed greyed out). This has been fixed now, so the icons will always show the editing permissions correctly.

Bugfix RT57745 Link to this entry

When subscribing to the event channel ‘tag.rendered‘ or ‘page.rendered‘ in the Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API, the handlers were not called when inserting new tags and the insertion failed (tag was not inserted) without any visible error messages. These errors have been fixed now, when inserting a new tag, the handler for the channel ‘tag.rendered‘ will be called and insertion will succeed.

Bugfix RT57849 Link to this entry

When opening a page for editing with Aloha Editor, the toolbar entries to insert new tags into editables are created asynchronously. In cases, where this takes longer and the editor activates an editable before the initialization is done, a wrong set of icons was shown. This has been fixed now. If an editor activates an editable before the tag insert icons are initialized, a “loading” icon will be shown in the toolbar as placeholder for the tag insert menu. When the the tag insert icons are ready to be used, the placeholder will immediately be replaced with the tag insert icons.

Follow-up from Bugfix RT57627. When a Page is imported and no weekdays are set for per-weekday-publishing it automatically sets all weekdays. Since GCN 5.15.8 all weekdays are set for per-weekday-publishing by default. This fixes importing a page from a system prior 5.15.8, where pages would appear online if no weekday was set for per-weekday-publishing.

Bugfix RT57787 Link to this entry

Page import: Fixed links sometimes not being rendered correctly when publising the pages during import. The links were published as static links (like they have not been transformed), however in the page preview it was rendered correctly. Now when using instant publishing, links will probably be rendered as “#” first (when the target page does not exist yet and will be imported later), but with the next publish run they will be rendered correctly.

Bugfix RT57811 Link to this entry

The created white spaces at the beginning and the end of inline tags are now bein removed. To be able to set the caret after inline blocks, empty ‘span‘ elements are added at the beginning and the end of all inline blocks. When saving the page, these elements were saved too. With this fix these ‘span‘ are ephemeral and are deleted once the page is saved. These ‘span‘ elements are also removed if the inline blocks are removed.

When a page in the master node links to another object (file, image, page or folder) that exists locally in a channel and the source page is rendered in the master node, the link will be rendered as empty (#) now. Before this fix, the URL to the channel local page was rendered, which resulted in a dead link.

Gentics Content.Node now fails earlier if it detects common serious problems with GlobalID generation. (e.g. if you accidentally reset globalidsequence, import different objects with identical GlobalIDs or try to generate GlobalIDs with a NULL globalprefix)
This fix contains database changes that might take some time (~10min for 12M mappedglobalids) and might fail if your database is already corrupted (duplicate GlobalIDs or NULL GlobalIDs).
In order to prevent data corruption, the webapp will refuse to start if a modification to mappedglobalidsequence is detected (See error message in catalina.out).

Bugfix RT57658 Link to this entry

When using the REST API to create a page, file or folder in a folder that exists locally in a channel without specifying a nodeId, the object was created in the master node, but could never be seen in the master node, because its folder did not exist in the master node. This has been changed now, if no nodeId is specified in the request, the object will be created in the folder‘s channel. If an invalid nodeId is specified (nodeId of a channel, in which the specified folder is not visible), the request will fail now.

Importing of localized templates always created a conflict due to missing target folder, if the localized template did not yet exist on the target system. Because of this, it was impossible to successfully finish the import. This has been fixed now. For localized templates, no check for target folders is done, because localized templates are always linked to the same folders as their masters.

When deleting folders, localized copies of templates linked to that folder were deleted, regardless of whether the (master) template was still linked to other folders or used in pages. This bug, which was introduced in Gentics Content.Node 5.13.25, 5.14.13 and 5.15.0 has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT56058 Link to this entry

When files in the CMS lost their binary content (or were incompletely created without binary content), the publish process failed (due to missing binary data). The display of such files in the backend was inconsistent and it was not possible to delete such files to resolve the publishing error by using the backend. This has been fixed now, broken files that cause the publish process to fail will now be shown in the backend specially marked (with an alert icon and in red) and it is possible to delete them. Additionally, it is now possible to search broken files using either the extended search in the backend or the REST API.

Bugfix RT56622 Link to this entry

Removing of objects from a multichannelling aware contentrepository with instant publishing did not work. The objects were removed at the next publish run.

Inherited content and properties are rendered in REST-API ‘render‘ call (only localized pages). When calling /rest/page/render/{id} now it is possible to get the inherited content and the inherited properties when the parameter ‘inherited‘ is set to true. The response then will add 2 new properties:

‘inheritedContent‘: content of the inherited page
‘inheritedProperties‘: properties of the inherited page

Enhanced the permission page for folders (Accessed through the folders context menu) The permissions are now directly shown for all groups for the currently selected folder.

Bugfix RT53165 Link to this entry

When part of type “URL (Page)“ was set to be required in the tagtype, the tagtype itself could not be filled without providing a default value for that part. This behaviour was different than the behaviour for other parts (e.g. type “Text”) where the part only has to be filled for tags, but not for the tagtype itself. The behaviour has been changed now to be consistent for all part types: If a part is required, it still can be left empty for the tagtype, but has to be filled in tags (e.g. in pages).

Bugfix RT56835 Link to this entry

When using small browser windows (e.g. on systems with low resolutions), some data shown on the startpage of the CMS could overlap each other. This has been fixed now. If the window is too small to show the info boxes side by side the boxes will be shown one on top of the other.

Bugfix RT57596 Link to this entry

When writing pages into the contentrepositories was slower than rendering the pages, the internal job queues could grow very big, which could cause memory problems. This has been fixed now. If one of the queue exceeds the limit of 1000 pages, no more pages will be rendered (and put into the queue), until the queue is below the limit.

Moving of inherited or localized folders is not allowed, because they must be moved in their master node. If an editor tried to move a localized or inherited folder, nothing happened, but the editor got no information telling why. This has been fixed now: If an editor tries to move an inherited or localized folder, an information will be displayed that this is not possible (similar to moving pages, images or files).

Bugfix RT57386 Link to this entry

When creating folder overviews by manually selecting the folders and having the “recursive“ flag activated, the subfolders were not added, if the feature multichannelling was activated. This has been fixed now, manual folder overviews with “recursive” activated will now render like expected.

When the action “check data“ or “repair data“ for a ContentRepository was started, the status changed to “Running“, even though the job was actually queued (along with other dirt or maintenance events or even the publish process). This has been changed now. The status will now show “Queued“ as long as the job is in the Queue and will only switch to “Running“ when the job really is started. Additionally, queued ContentRepository jobs will now be shown as “ContentRepository Maintenance Action“ instead of “Dependency Calculation” in the maintenance dialog.

Bugfix RT57495 Link to this entry

When editing tags as blocks using Aloha Editor and the tagtype implementation contained script tags and a jQuery version >= 1.9.0 was used, the script tags were replaced by some random numbers when the tag was re-rendered in the page after being modified using the tagfill dialog. These numbers were not saved to the page and did not affect the published content of the page, but were just shown while editing the page. This has been fixed now, re-rendering tags containing script tags will now also work with jQuery versions >= 1.9.0.

Bugfix RT57434 Link to this entry

When migrating tags from a tagtype that contained non-editable parts using the tagtype migration tool, the filled value of the non-editable part in the source tagtype was removed, which should not happen. This has been fixed now. When migrating tags the source and target tagtypes are not changed.

The performance for checking permissions ~~especially to build the folder tree~~ has been improved.

Permission entries with all permission bits set to 0 will no longer be stored in the database, which reduces the size of the perm table.
Checking the permissions will now be done using the REST API and will not access the perm table. All permission entries will be kept in the memory of the JVM. The memory consumption will be about 40 byte per perm entry (not counting the entries having all 0s). The database is only accessed, when permissions change.

Sometimes, the scheduler loses the connection to a publish process it started, although the publish process is still running due to timeout problems. In this cases, the scheduler job is marked as “failed“. When the scheduler tries to start the publish process again, this also failed, because the process was still running. Such cases will be handled differently now: if the scheduler tries to start a publish process and finds the process already running, it will “join“ the publish process, like if it just had been created. Therefore if the scheduler loses the connection to a still running publish process, subsequent job runs will not fail with reason “Publish process already running” any more.

In some cases the page status was not handled correctly. This caused the publish process to ignore some pages. This defect first appeared in 5.12.27 / 5.13.11. This issue was now resolved.

Gentics CMS 5.13.11

Manual Change

It is now possible to deactivate tags using the GCN JS API. Newly created tags

Link to this entry

will be automatically activated, but before the page is saved, that tag can be deactivated.
Because the GCN JS API will no longer automatically activate all tags in a page that is saved after editing, this change may require some implementations to be modified to manually activate in-active tags. A manual change will be necessary for example, if your implementation renders a page‘s inactive object tags in view mode via the GCN JS API. In this case, it will be necessary to first activate the tag using tag.prop('active', true).

Fixed the assignment of constructs to nodes during the import.

Bugfix RT56138 Link to this entry

Import: Fixed setting permissions when important content repositories. When the import was started with a different group, it did not get permissions on the new content repository. The chosen group and all parent groups will now get permission on the content repository when doing imports.

Bugfix RT55948 Link to this entry

Fixed export selection in multichanneling environments. Previously, if you added a folder that has been created in a channel in the channel where it was created, its contained elements would not be automatically selected as dependencies.

Bugfix RT56181 Link to this entry

When a contentrepository contained a tagmap entry of type “[7] Foreign Link“ that had a non-empty tagname set, this could lead to objects being removed from the contentrepository, although they should not be removed. This behaviour has been fixed now. Please note however, that having a tagname set for a tagmap entry of type “[7] Foreign Link“ is wrong, because such an attribute will not be rendered in the backend. Therefore it is stronly recommended to leave the tagname of tagmap entries of type “[7] Foreign Link” empty!

A performance issue has been fixed that slowed down the listing of files/images in folders with a big number of files/images.

Bugfix RT55756 Link to this entry

If an online page is moved to a different folder and taken offline, it is now possible to create a new page having the same filename. With this fix, it is possible to subsitute an online page with a new page having the same filename, even if a wastebin workflow moves the old page away and takes it offline instead of deleting it.

Bugfix RT55946 Link to this entry

When uploading images using the REST API, some temporary files named imageio*.tmp were created and left open until the garbage collector would remove them. This could lead to a “Too many open files” error. This has been fixed now, those temporary files are now removed as soon as they are no longer needed.

Fixed Permission Error when editing a page in a channel without permission to see the master node.

Bugfix RT56056 Link to this entry

Saving complex dependencies between objects sometimes failed due to insufficient space in a database column, subsequently causing failure to the publish process. This column was adjusted accordingly. Also, publish log entries were improved for removing objects from contentrepositories without multichannelling functionality.

Bugfix RT55983 Link to this entry

Various issues within the template migration / tagtype migration were fixed.

In some cases the log contained duplicate entries for migrated objects
The template migration did not update the status of migrated objects correctly. This resulted in log entries that indicated that the migration was still running although the migration was finished.
The status of currently active migrations was not shown within the ui. It is now no longer possible to invoke a migration when another one is currently being processed. Previously it was possible to invoke another migration job. This job would be queued and executed after the currently active job.
In some cases a generic error message was repeatedly shown when using chrome.
An additional status code was added. It is now possible to distinguish between jobs that completed and jobs that completed with warnings. A job may complete with warnings when some objects could not be locked or found.

Previously, if you didn‘t define a “macros“ part (or “template“ part) for a velocity part rendered by another velocity part, the “macros“ part (or “template“ part) of the “outer“ velocity part would be incorrectly inherited to the “inner“ velocity part for the duration of rendering.

The memory consumption of the server while writing pages into the filesystem has been reduced.

Bugfix RT55239 Link to this entry

Creating files in the REST API where the number suffix (name_number.extension) in the given filename exceeded maximum integer limits previously caused an exception. The algorithm calculating filename suggestions for existing filenames has been improved to avoid these issues in the future.

Bugfix RT55328 Link to this entry

When the data should be checked or repaired in a content repository and this caused an Exception (e.g. due to connection problems, an invalid URL, locking issues, ...), the task to do the checking/repairing remained in the dirtqueue until the problem was resolved. This blocked all subsequent dirtqueue entries, including the publish process. This behaviour has been fixed now, Exceptions thrown during the checking/repairing process will now be logged as result of the action (visible in the UI for the content repository) and the dirtqueue entry will be removed.

Bugfix RT54461 Link to this entry

The behavior of instant publishing was changed to disable immediate removal of deleted objects in ContentRepositories when deleting multiple objects at a time.

Bugfix RT54936 Link to this entry

Long running imports caused some unnecessary locks in the DB, which caused problems while changing objects (pages, folders, ...), even if those objects were not touched by the import. Those unnecessary locks will be avoided now, so that modification of unrelated objects or creation of new objects will be possible now. It is however still the case that objects, which were modified by the import will be locked by the database until the import process finishes.

When starting a multithreaded publish run, all tables were locked while connections were started, in order to get a 100% consistent state among those connections. When some other SQL Statement was already running at the same time, this could lead to DB locks, and could subsequently freeze the whole CMS. Therefore the tables will no longer be locked while starting the connections for a multithreaded publish run.

Fix possible (but rare) NPE while finishing a multithreaded publish process.

Bugfix RT54620 Link to this entry

When using instant publishing for a content repository, the (regular) publish process used to create a new connection for every published object. This has been changed now, so that the publish process will open a single connection for every content repository, that is kept open while publishing, and only open a new transaction for every object, if instant publishing is used.

Bugfix RT54935 Link to this entry

Tag-fill: Fixed the object name not being displayed (eg.: pages, ...) in a tag URL-part under certain (rare) circumstances when using multichannelling. This only happened when the page was created in a channel and was localized again in a subchannel of this channel.

Important: If you are using Gentics Portal.Node Java with the GCNAuthenticationManager (e.g. for frontend editing), you have to update it first, before updating Gentics Content.Node.
If you pass the session secret in the ?do=100 URL now, you will be redirected to the same URL without the session secret in the sid= parameter. If your system setup is relying on this information in the URL (which it shouldn‘t) in any way, please enable the following feature in your GCN configuration:

Enhancement RM2239 Link to this entry

The internal dirting mechanism has been changed. The new mechanism offers the following advantages:

It is now possible to dirt inherited objects for specific channels only. The old mechanism could only dirt the objects as a whole, so that the object would be re published for channels, which inherit it.
It is now possible to dirt online pages, even if they are currently edited (have status 0).
Dirting of objects of all types (pages, images, files, olders) now works the same way.
During the publish run, it is no longer necessary to access the (ever growing) logcmd table, which improves the performance.
The new mechanism is less prone to problems with changes that happen during a publish run.

After the update, the system will have one additional maintenance task scheduled (that will be performed before the next publish run). This maintenance task will migrate the currently dirted objects to the new mechanism.
Additionally, the maintenance dialog has been improved:

It will now also show the number of currently dirted files and folders (per node/channel).
It will show the number of currently dirted objects also per channel and it is possible to use any of the maintenance tools for objects of a channel.
The controls have been slightly improved to show more compact information.

The new optional feature “move_perm_with_edit“ will modify the necessary permission for moving pages, images and files. If the feature is off, users will need to have the “delete“ permission in the source folder, which is the same behavior as before this enhancement. If the feature is on, users will need to have the “edit“ permission in the source folder for moving objects to other folders. In all cases, users will need to have the “create” permission in the target folder.

Bugfix Link to this entry

The internal storage of objects, that can be localized (using multichannelling) has been modified. Before this fix, objects (pages, folders, templates, files and images) were initially created with channelset_id = 0. When the objects were localized, a new channelset_id was assigned. This caused some additional overhead in handling channelset_ids and could cause some problems. Therefore, when objects are created, they will immediately get a non-zero channelset_id. Also this update will change all existing objects to have a non-zero channelset_id.

When exporting a folder that contains a template, which is never used and templates were generally excluded, the template cause an unresolvable conflict on the target system, if it did not exist there. This is not necessary, since the template would only have been exported, because it is assigned to the exported folder, and not because it is used by a page. The behaviour of exlusion has been modified now: Excluded objects will only create unresolvable conflicts, if they are really used by objects and not only assigned to folders or nodes.

This could happen, if many pages were published into content repositories and writing the pages into the content repository took very long (actually more than 8 hours longer than rendering all the pages). This has been fixed now: All open database connections to the backend will regularly (every hour) be kept alive by issuing a dummy statement.

Bugfix RT54258 Link to this entry

Fixed reloading the tree too often, when opening the preview of pages in the backend.

Bugfix RT54088 Link to this entry

When scheduler tasks were running longer than the configured wait_timeout of the backend database (defaults to 8 hours), the scheduler lost the connection to the database and could not set the endtime, return value and output of the job. This resulted in incorrect display of the job runs in the scheduler UI. Tasks, that took longer than 8 hours to run were not shown in the UI. This has been fixed now, so that also very long running tasks will be correctly shown in the job run list.

Bugfix RT54137 Link to this entry

When a page is published and an error occurs while writing the page into the content repository (instant publishing), the user will now see an appropriate message.

Bugfix Link to this entry

A javascript error within the scheduler task view was fixed. In some cases a javascript error occured when the user triggered the delete action for a scheduler task. The error only occured for tasks that were used by other tasks.

Gentics CMS 5.12.4

Bugfix RT54207 Link to this entry

Previously, if the user selected a language and then changed to a node in which this language was not activated, newly created pages would wrongly be created with this locale. After this fix, the first active language of the node is used instead.

Bugfix RT50864 Link to this entry

Fixed an inconsistency that occurred when creating and editing templates. When adding template tags, a check is now performed to ensure that the tag type being used is also linked with the template‘s node. Previously all template tags were automatically linked with a default construct, which on some systems had been deleted. This led to errors while exporting to other systems since the template had a dependency that could not be resolved if the default tag type was no longer available.

Bugfix RT53984 Link to this entry

The gcn-plugin will now also insert leading and following paragraphs for Contenttags with an inline element (e.g. span) as its root tag, to enable editors to add contents before or after this tag.

Bugfix Link to this entry

Fixed JavaScript error “Cannot read property ‘tagname‘ of undefined gcnjsapi.js:5905” that occured when saving a page after creating a new link.

Bugfix RT54173 Link to this entry

A bug was fixed that caused errors when editing image-URLs in tagtypes, if no node was previously selected.

Gentics CMS 5.12.3

GCN JS API, TagAPI.removeTag(): Fixed the callbacks not getting called correctly. Also fixed the documentation. You can only pass the keyword of a tag in here, not an Id.

Bugfix RT54117 Link to this entry

Fixed a problem with paging when skipping to the last page of a list of items that would cause a list of empty items to be displayed.

Bugfix RT54125 Link to this entry

Added an automatic reset of old (and no longer necessary) FTP node settings that have been leftover from older systems (those that have been updated from a version prior to Gentics Content.Node 5.4.0).

Bugfix RT54130 Link to this entry

Fixed possible DB Lock Timeout when using instant publishing and an object was published during a long running publish process.

Gentics CMS 5.12.2

This fix allows HTML-formatted text (like abbreviations or text-decorations) to be stored inside the text-field of a link, when using the Aloha-Editor plugin.

Bugfix RT53921 Link to this entry

Uploading images via the multifileupload now works even if the image does not contain JFIF-information. In this case, default values for DPI are assumed.

Bugfix RT53943 Link to this entry

Node list: Fixed the creator and the last editor of a node not being shown in the black tooltip.

Bugfix RT53935 Link to this entry

GCN JS API: Fixed the tag.part() (prop) function overwriting the part value with ‘undefined‘ and returning ‘undefined‘. It now correctly returns the value again when not passing a value to set as second argument.

Bugfix RT53839 Link to this entry

A caching-issue was fixed that prevented custom sort orders for overview-tags to be updated correctly.

Bugfix RT54003 Link to this entry

Removed unnecessary attributes “text“, “cls“, “iconCls“ and “leaf“ from the Template model class. Before this fix, loading templates with the Java REST API client failed with: org.codehaus.jackson.map.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException: Unrecognized field “text” (Class com.gentics.contentnode.rest.model.Template), not marked as ignorable.

Bugfix RT54011 Link to this entry

Lists: Fixed a bug where the list filtering did not work anymore, introduced with GCN 5.12.0. This problem occured among others in the object property list, the scheduler, datasources and import/export.

Gentics CMS 5.12.1

Bugfix RT52133 Link to this entry

The documentation for the Custom Form Part Type was corrected. The correct name for the variable that is used to retrieve the html entity of a form is nodevalue.

Bugfix RT53850 Link to this entry

Added further log output when an error is encountered when rending tags, specifically for the case when an endtag has no corresponding opening tag, the name of the tag in question will now also be logged.

Manual Change

The Gentics Update site was changed with this update in order to provide the new Feature Releases.

Link to this entry

The new update site is https://updates.gentics.com. Please whitelist this domain and the port 443 on your server. The previous update site was https://secure.gentics.com. Please refer to the Autoupdate Guides Page for more information on how to provide the update file manually.

Enhancement RM6756 Link to this entry

It is now possible to configure separate node publish directories for pages and binaries (images and files). All existing nodes will initially have the same publish directories set, so existing implementations will not change.
It is important to note, that if an implementation directly uses the property pubdir_ of a node object for files or images, this should be changed to use the new property pubdir_bin_. Otherwise the implementation would fail if separate publish directories are used.

Enhancement RM6734 Link to this entry

Improved part() method of tag objects in GCN JS API to be able to change select and multiselect parts values by receiving strings, arrays, as well as objects.

Enhancement RM4207 Link to this entry

The new feature contentfileauto_offline_ allows to configure nodes, for which images and files, that are not used by other objects (pages, folders) will not be published into the filesystem or contentrepository.

Enhancement Link to this entry

A possible SQL Error was fixed within the publish process.

Enhancement RM5973 Link to this entry

Added a MessageAPI interface to the GCN JS API. This interface contains the following new methods: MessageAPI.send(), MessageAPI.list(), MessageAPI.read()
More information about this new interface can be found in the Gentics Content.Node Guides

Enhancement RM6214 Link to this entry

Implemented the feature “live_urls”. The feature can be enabled in the configuration with $FEATURE[‘live_urls‘] = true;
More information about this new feature can be found in the Gentics Content.Node Guides

Enhancement RM6727 Link to this entry

It is now possible to flag template tags as “mandatory” and thereby force editors to fill all their required parts before the page in which they are in can be published.

Enhancement RT53014 Link to this entry

Added ‘pageStatus‘ attribute to page objects requested via the REST API.

Enhancement Link to this entry

The Gentics Content.Node Autoupdate was updated. It is now possible to update to any newer released version. The testing update site was depreciated. Only releases will be shown within the drop down menu.

Enhancement Link to this entry

A possible bottleneck in the internal communication between PHP and Java was removed.

Enhancement Link to this entry

The Gentics Content.Node Autoupdate Scheduler Task was deprecated.

Enhancement RT53254 Link to this entry

Tags that contain script tags will now have their scripts tags properly rendered onto the page when closing the TagFill dialog. Furthermore, the scripts will only be executed after the rest of the contents of the tag have been rendered and are present on the page, and not before.

Bugfix Link to this entry

The included profiler webapp file was renamed from profiler.war to Profiler.war. This also fixes the access path for the profiler from /profiler to /Profiler.
In order to access the profiler, the path /Profiler must be added to the JkMounts of the apache configuration.
The profiler webapp is secured with basic authentication for the roles manager or gentics. In order to gain access, the application server must be configured for basic authentication, e.g. by adding an appropriate user in /Node/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml

Bugfix RT53265 Link to this entry

Fixed the sorting of folder names requested over the Rest API to correctly handle German special characters, which is relevant for features such as the Repository Browser.

Bugfix RT52692 Link to this entry

A workaround for a Microsoft SQL JDBC Driver issue was applied. Previously the publish process would stall when publishing directly in a Content.Repository that needed column changes. (eg. new quick columns)

Bugfix RT47489 Link to this entry

Fixed possible timeout problems when publishing into a content repository in a very long running transaction. When publishing into a content repository without using “instant publishing“, a database connection is opened at the beginning, which will be used during the whole publish process. There may be situations, where specific connections are not used for a long time (e.g. when many objects have to be published into another content repository), which may cause the database server (or any networking component in between the client and the server) to close the connection. To fix this, the publish process will regularly issue “dummy” SQL statements to all connections to content repository databases, if they were not used for longer than the configured time span. The interval can be configured in the variable $CONTENTMAP_KEEPALIVE_INTERVAL (in seconds), the default value is 3600 (1 hour).

Bugfix RT53199 Link to this entry

A small error in the todo-tool was fixed that occurred during mouse-over of lists because of missing tooltip functionality.

Bugfix RT52759 Link to this entry

Fixed the two-column-menu, which is shown if the list of menu entries would not fit inside the browser-window, to be moved to the left if it would exceed the width of the frame otherwise.

Bugfix RT53018 Link to this entry

Fixed a possible NullPointerException when using Multithreaded Publishing into ContentRepositories.

Bugfix RT52849 Link to this entry

Node languages: Fixed a rare case where the language could not be sorted anymore, when it had a sortorder of 0. Also enhanced the listing order. Activated language will be listed at the beginning now.

Bugfix RT53391 Link to this entry

After a change in the messaging-system, confirmation-alerts were displayed even after successful actions. This was reworked to suppress alerts on success in order to improve usability.

Bugfix RT53375 Link to this entry

Media archive image import: Fixed SGB occuring after selecting an image in the media archive and returning to the tagfill dialog.

Bugfix RT53758 Link to this entry

Publishing pages in channels into the filesystem did not work correctly, when multithreaded publishing was used. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT53596 Link to this entry

Page list sorting: Fixed SGB occuring when ordering the list by page variations. This could only happen when the feature “pageusage_variants” was enabled. The page list, template list and folder list will now always use the Rest-API for loading the data. Previously the Rest-API was only used when multichannelling was enabled.

Bugfix RT53383 Link to this entry

Fixed the language selection in the Todo-Tool. It now correctly displays only the languages activated in the active node, and does so in the order specified in the node by the custom sort order. Additionally, synchronizing users, groups and languages now works with significantly increased performance.

Bugfix RT53477 Link to this entry

Fixed premature publishing of pages that were created and then moved (without being published before) in a node that published into a content repository with instant publishing enabled.

Bugfix RT53706 Link to this entry

Avoid checking and generation of global IDs for tables, that contain data, that is not exported. Especially checking for global IDs of table perm could take very long and could possibly interfer with normal CMS operations for some time after the Tomcat is restarted.

Bugfix RT53506 Link to this entry

When comparing the current page version with the last published version, the comparison now falls back to a previously published version if the current version is unchanged since it was last published, so that the page is not compared to itself.

Bugfix RT52865 Link to this entry

Fixed a performance issue while editing or publishing pages containing many (several hundred or thousand) tags, or having many language variants. Due to inefficient sql statements while clearing the cache for modified pages, e.g. filling a page tag or publishing the page could take very long.

Bugfix RT53635 Link to this entry

Fixed instant publishing of objects, that were localized in channels. Before this fix, the objects were rendered in the scope of their master node, not the channel. This caused e.g. URLs to be wrong, because they contained the hostname of the master and not the channel. The incorrect data in the content repository of the channel was automatically corrected during the following publish run.

Bugfix RT53474 Link to this entry

When a non-editable block-element is inserted into an Aloha editable, an empty helper-paragraph is inserted at the beginning and/or end of the editable. Previous to this hotfix, these helpers were not correctly removed / cleaned up if the page was saved while an active focus was still inside the editable element.

Bugfix RT53378 Link to this entry

An error in rendering the URLs of files published to content repositories was fixed so that whether or not the links are stored with or without the hostname is now done as configured with Linkway.

Bugfix RT53046 Link to this entry

Images and files are now handled separately in the REST-API (and the corresponding GCN JS API), which means file load requests can only be made with file IDs. Previously, file load requests could be made with image IDs to return the file properties of images.

Bugfix RM7332 Link to this entry

A permission check within the node properties dialog was fixed. Previously some users experienced an SGB error when trying to edit the properties of a previously created channel.

Bugfix Link to this entry

A javascript error was fixed that occured when the folder upload tag part was shown in a tagfill dialog that was opened within the frontend edting mode.

Gentics CMS 5.11.5

Bugfix RT53148 Link to this entry

Bugfix RT53183 Link to this entry

Fixed changing the publish directory of a folder by saving it using the REST API or the GCN JS API.Before this fix, the publish directory of the saved folder was not changed.

Bugfix RT52346 Link to this entry

Added missing i18n translations for ‘Keyword‘ property when editing Tagtype properties.

Bugfix RT52634 Link to this entry

Creating multiple folders and pages in a batch run using the GCN JS API nolonger results in content objects having wrong names, properties, and tags.

Manual Change

The login url for sso logins was changed within the Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API

Link to this entry

The JavaScript API method loginWithSSO now uses the rest API url /rest/auth/ssologin Previously the /rest/auth/login url was used.See Authentication methods for REST API for more information.

Enhancement RT52864 Link to this entry

Improved documentation for gtxalohapagelink (http://www.gentics.com/Content.Node/guides/aloha_gcn_alohapagelink.html) as suggested.Now the class attribute won‘t be added if empty.

Enhancement Link to this entry

Added method /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/ssologin as alternative to /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/login, so that the SSO filters can be mapped to /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/ssologinand login by posting user credentials to /CNPortletapp/rest/auth/login is still possible.

Enhancement Link to this entry

Refactored the global JavaScript object named GCN to GCNREST in tagfill and object tag dialogs. This internal object would provide the Repository Browser with access to the REST backend services,creating a naming conflict with the GCN JS API. The GCN JS API may now be used in tagfill andobject property dialogs using a custom form tag, as the naming conflict is resolved with this change.

Bugfix RT52830 Link to this entry

A bug within the custom form tagpart node tag parsing was fixed. Previously the node tags within the source of a custom form tag were only parsed when a custom form tag was editied within a page. It is now also possible to use node tags within the context of object properties for folders, pages, templates, files and images. Please note that only a small subset of tags can be evaluated when viewing the tag type within the tag type edit dialog due to the missing context of a page, file, template, image, folder.

Bugfix RT50625 Link to this entry

Under certain preconditions, fields of page properties stayed empty. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix RT52634 Link to this entry

When multiple pages were created in the same script using the GCN JS API, the PageAPI were indistinguishable and e.g. tags created in them could get mixed up.This has been fixed now, so that it is now possible to create multiple pages in the same script.

Bugfix RT52712 RT52660 Link to this entry

When exporting objects, for which no global IDs have been generated, a NullPointerException was thrown (and the export failed). This has been fixed now to throw a more descriptive error message (including the object name and id).Additionally, every time the server is started, missing global IDs are generated in a background job.

Bugfix RT52290 RT52043 Link to this entry

Fixed dirting of dependent objects when the filename of a file or image was changed using the backend properties dialog.

Bugfix RT52368 Link to this entry

When $FEATURE[“logout_page”] is set to a URL and multiple browser-windows are used at once, there was a problem when the user logged out of the system in one window and tried to continue browsing ~~in that case, the logout~~page was only shown in the current frame. After the fix, logout-pages are always displayed in the whole page.

Bugfix RT52751 Link to this entry

Fixed rendering order of pages in page overviews, where the pages are selected and sorted manually.

Bugfix RT52776 Link to this entry

Fixed an error that occurred when uploading files with special characters in the filename.

Bugfix RT52876 Link to this entry

Fixed user/profile form stating that the description must be not empty in the tooltip.

Bugfix RT52987 Link to this entry

Ensure that content tags are created for external links as well as internal links.

Bugfix Link to this entry

The edit() method within the Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API was fixed to correctly render tags onto elements when a class name isspecified as the selector rather than an id. Previously the edit() method would not work when a css selector was used to select the dom element that should be edited.

Bugfix RT52516 Link to this entry

Fixed confirmation-alerts in the context-menu to be displayed for critical actions like delete or publish, and omitted otherwise.

Bugfix RT51642 Link to this entry

Fixed the “maximize tree”-icon in the GCN tree frame not being at a fixed position and therefore was probably not visible if the treewas not scrolled to top.

Bugfix RT52259 RT52605 Link to this entry

Inserting tags into editables using the Internet Explorer sometimes moved the selection into a non-editable area in the tag. As a result, when another tag was insertedwith the incorrect set selection, the new tag was inserted into the other tag, not into the editable area.This has been fixed now, when tags are inserted with an invalid selection, the selection will first be corrected to be in a proper place (after the non-editable area).

Bugfix RT51911 Link to this entry

Added missing german translation for “add elements” when selecting objects in a overview tag

Bugfix RT52573 Link to this entry

A permission check within the rest api login method was fixed. Previously it was possible to login when the maintenance mode was enabled. Now login is only allowed for users that can enable/disable the maintenance mode.

Bugfix RT52762 Link to this entry

When translating a page into another language (which was not created before), the translation split-screen view showed a diff instead of the current page to be translated (in the upper frame).This has been fixed now. The diff view will only be shown, if the translation was synchronized with an older version of the page and is continued now.

Bugfix RT52746 Link to this entry

Fixed check for duplicate node names and hostname/publish directory settings when creating or updating nodes.Before this fix, the create/update operation was not done, but no error was shown either.

Bugfix RT52759 Link to this entry

Fixed a problem with menu-items being unreachable on small screens or in large lists. If a submenu has more content than can be shown inside the browser window, menu-items are now arranged in a two-column-design.

Bugfix RT52964 Link to this entry

Ensured that clicking on an internal link will result in the floating menuand/or sidebar to be shown appropriately — even if the editable inwhich the linkis rendered is inside an aloha block.

Bugfix RT51051 Link to this entry

When viewing the tooltip for the tagtype-part URL, two overlapping tooltips were sometimes shown. Furthermore, when more than one parts with the type URL were present, only the first showed a tooltip. This has been corrected, and only one tooltip is shown at any time.

Gentics CMS 5.11.0

Gentics CMS 5.10.0

Enhancement Link to this entry

The new feature crfilesystem_attributes_ allows publishing specific tagmap entries into contentrepository attributes that are stored in the filesystem.The feature is disabled by default.

Enhancement RT52622 Link to this entry

When using the new export mechanism to export a construct that used a datasource (in a part) with datasources generally excluded, but the single datasource included, the datasourcewas excluded from the export but should have been included. This has been fixed now, so that objects that are manually included are exported in all cases, even if the type has been excluded.

Enhancement RT51974 Link to this entry

When a user did not have create permission for pages in any of his groups, but had the create permission for all languages in at least one of his roles, copying pages failedwith a SGB. This is fixed now, so that the user will now be able to copy pages.

Enhancement RT51756 Link to this entry

When filtering pages using the REST API or using the page list in the Gentics Content.Node backend, it was not possible to filter pages with status “Publish At”(pages that are scheduled to be published at a specific point in time in the future). This has been fixed now.

Enhancement RT5682 Link to this entry

Adding validation of editables before saving. If validation is enabled, validation will be performed on all editable at the offset of the savingprocess. If any editable fails validation, the saving process will be aborted with an error message.

Enhancement RM5826 RT52022 Link to this entry

An additional column was added to the page publish queue. The node name will now be listed within the publish queue.

Bugfix RT52202 Link to this entry

A caching issue within the purge versions job was fixed. In some cases this issue could cause the creation of lower version numbers for pages when a page was edited.

Bugfix RT52191 Link to this entry

Using publish handlers together with instant publishing did not work as expected: When triggering instant publishing (by publishing a page or creating/editing an image, file or folder) beforea regular publish run, the publish handlers were not triggered.Additionally, the destroy() method of the publish handler was called for every transaction commit (for every published object), and not only when the publish handler was taken out of service (as intended).The lifecycle of publish handler instances has been modified, in a way that instances of publish handlers will now stay in service until either the server is shut down, or the publish handler entry is eitherchanged or removed.

Bugfix RT51642 Link to this entry

The “maximize tree”-icon was fixed within the Gentics Content.Node tree frame. Previously the icon was not being shown at a fixed position and therefore was probably not visible if the treewas not scrolled to top.

Bugfix RT52413 Link to this entry

When saving a page where only the case of some letters changed, it didn‘t create a new page version.This has been fixed now and new page versions are created now when the case of letters change.This is important when versioned publishing is enabled.

Bugfix RT52396 Link to this entry

The paging functionality within the page list was fixed. Previously the page list would only display 5/10/20/50 items depending on the configured paging setting.

Bugfix RT52597 Link to this entry

The permission check on root folders of nodes/channels worked differently in Java and PHP, which could cause some nodes/channels to appear in the Repository Browser althoughthe user should not have permissions, when the permission entries in the database were inconsistent.

Bugfix RT52297 Link to this entry

Fixed SGB error occuring when applying an object property to sub folders. This is caused by duplicate object properties in the database. This update deletes those duplicate entries.

Bugfix RM5993 Link to this entry

Following an internal link will now cause the top menu to be updated so thatthe top menu links will operate on the newly opened page, and not therefererring page.

Bugfix RT52572 Link to this entry

An issue that caused an exception to be thrown in some cases when checking for quick column definitions was fixed by adding handling for the deprecated binary attribute type.

Fixed canceling of a published page over the REST API: When a page is published (and not changed afterwards) and then canceled, the page status is not changed.

Bugfix Link to this entry

A SGB error was fixed within the file upload dialog. Previously the SGB error was displayed when a user tried to upload a new file in frontend editing mode.

Bugfix RT52442 Link to this entry

Bugfix RT52416 Link to this entry

Removed unnecessary entry “Real Editor” in the folder context menu.

Bugfix RT52491 Link to this entry

At the start of every publish process, that SQL statements issued to detect, when a specific node was published the last time were very inefficient and slow, becausethey used the very large table logcmd.The implementation has now been changed to store the timestamp of the last publish run for a specific node in the table ‘node‘ instead, which will decrease thetime necessary to initialize the publish process with a large number of nodes and a big logcmd table.

Gentics CMS 5.9.3

Bugfix RM5650 Link to this entry

The formatless paste plugin default configuration was fixed. Previously the formatless paste plugin did not work and no formatting was removed when content was pasted. The formatless paste handler was added to the list of default contenthandlers for insertHtml.

Gentics CMS 5.9.2

The Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API edit() method fixed to correctly render tags onto elements when a class name is specified as the selector rather than an id.

Gentics CMS 5.9.0

Such an url will be identified by the GenticsImageStore during the publish process. The imagestore identifies the referenced node by examing the hostname within the found url.
The image within node B will be resized when the GenticsImageStore determined that the referenced node (in this case node b) is publishing into the filesystem. Resizing will otherwise be omitted.The image tag must be adapted to include the node B hostname.
Example velocity implementation:
#if($cms.rendermode.publish) #else #end

The file fetch feature will now correctly check the needed permissions for the used import folder. Previously create permissions were not checked correctly.

Bugfix RT51433 Link to this entry

When a page was requested to be opened in edit mode (using Aloha Editor), but was instead opened in readonly mode,because the user had insufficient privileges to edit the page or the page was locked by another user, the settings for$cms.rendermode still pretended, that the page was opened in edit mode. This caused specific edit mode implementationsto fail in such cases. This has been fixed now, so that the setting for $cms.rendermode will always be correct.

Bugfix RT51757 Link to this entry

Fixed premature evaluation of script tags that occurred in IE when renderingtags for editing that contained script tags.

Bugfix RT51863 Link to this entry

REST API call /CNPortletapp/rest/page/render is fixed to be able to detect idsof root elements even if they are not wrapped in quotes (as is the case withIE).

Bugfix RT51959 Link to this entry

Fixed reading permissions for users. The database is now forced to use specific indices, because it sometimes decides against them (and doing a full table scan on the perm table instead),which drastically decreases the request performance.

Bugfix RT51486 Link to this entry

The function descriptor of the function PageAPI.createTag() in the GCN JS API has changed. It will no longer support calls likepage.createTag([construct], [magicvalue], [success], [error]);Instead, the call has to written aspage.createTag( { constructId: [construct], magicValue: [magicvalue] }, [success], [error]);(parameters specifying what tag has to be created have to be given as object).

The flash uploader button will now also work in nativ Internet Explorer 9 mode. Previously the flash uploader was not working due to Internet Explorer 9 security options regarding flash applications.

Gentics CMS 5.7.2

Manual Change

Manual change for Aloha Editor

Link to this entry

Fixed the GCN JS API so that the element that is passed into the edit() methods the container for the rendered tag contents is also appropriated as the rootelement of the rendered tag. Beforehand, an new root element would be generated during the render call towrap the contents of the tag, and this would result in unwanted nestedcontainers wrapping the contents of the tag.*ie*: Given: tag.edit('#content');
The outerHTML of HTMLElement#content will now be:

My tag content

Rather than:

 My tag content

Missing i18n entries were added.

Bugfix Link to this entry

An SGB that occured when opening the usage view for images was fixed.

Bugfix Link to this entry

A bug that occured when handling the ALOHA_PLUGINS_NODE setting was fixed. Previously some alohaeditor jqueryui specific plugins were not added to the final list of plugins. This issue only affected systems where the aloha_jqueryui feature was enabled.

Bugfix Link to this entry

Fixed a bug in the handling of escape characters in i18n strings.

Fixes a bug in the GCN Intergration Plugin where after closing the tagfilldialogue, the tag date of the edited tag would no longer be consistent.

Gentics CMS 5.6.3

Bugfix Link to this entry

A bug that occurred during the building of 5.6.2 was fixed.

Gentics CMS 5.6.2

Manual Change

Tagtypes implementation and Aloha Editor block-plugin

Link to this entry

In order for tagtype implementations to be compatible with the block-pluginof Aloha-Editor (not loaded by default), they must either have a div or spanroot element.If a tagtype implementation does not have a div or span root element, itwill be automatically wrapped with a div, and an error will be logged inthe browser console.Due to the automatic wrapping, tagtypes may still work, even if they donot have a div or span root element, however, it is still an error, andtagtype implementations must be updated accordingly.

Manual Change

Disabled Aloha Editor block-plugin drag and drop feature

Link to this entry

Link to this entry

The tags ‘p‘ and ‘h1‘ – ‘h6‘ are now recognized as valid root elements of tagtypes.When using tagtypes with such root elements before, the tags where wrapped into a ‘div‘ tag, which no longer will happen after this change.

Manual Change

(when updating to Aloha Editor with jQuery UI)

Link to this entry

Link to this entry

The following plugins were added to the default plugin list for the jqueryui version of aloha.* common/ui* common/block* extra/ribbonNOTE: This only applies when the feature aloha_jqueryui was enabled.

Manual Change

The policy-map schema used for the validation feature has been changed.

Link to this entry

If you have configured a custom policy map by following these instructions please verify that your policy-map.custom.xml is still valid according to the schema .The custom policy map will automatically be validated during the restart of the tomcat while performing a GCN update. If the schema fails to validate, the update will likewise fail. If the update fails due to schema validation errors, it is sufficient to fix the validation erros and restart the tomcat afterwards.To validate the policy-map.custom.xml manually, you can download the current schema and perform the validation using a XML Schema validation tool. For example, using xmllint xmllint ~~-schema policy~~map.xsd /Node/etc/policy-map.custom.xml

Manual Change

Aloha‘s ecma5.js was removed.

Link to this entry

The ecma5.js added the following functions to the environment if they didn‘t exist already.* Function.prototype.bind* String.prototype.trim* Array.prototype.indexOf* Array.prototype.lastIndexOf* Array.prototype.forEach* Array.prototype.map* Array.prototype.filter* Array.prototype.every* Array.prototype.some* window.compareDocumentPosition* window.getComputedStyleAlso, the window.Node object was added to the environment containingDOM-Node type properties.Please make sure that custom javascript implementations don‘t rely onany of these properties being defined.Some of them are still provided by some browsers, but not by others.For example, String.prototype.trim and Array.prototype.indexOf will workon Chrome but not on older versions of IE.String.prototype.trim and Array.prototype.indexOf methods are the mostoften used functions, and, if custom implementations rely on some ofthese methods to be defined, it is most likely one those two.

Manual Change

If AJAX requests fail during editing with Aloha Editor, because the CMS backend is no longer accessible (due to network problems, session timeouts, etc. ...), the shown error message will now be displayed properly.

Gentics CMS 5.5.6

Enhancement Link to this entry

Added new feature “liveeditorsavelog” for detection of possible data loss when saving page contents with the live editor. If turned on, and the new saved tag value is less than the old one (by a configurable percentage – $LIVEEDITORSAVELOG_PERC, default is 10%),the contents in the different stages of transformation is logged in the DB. By default, this feature is off.Configuration example:$FEATURE["liveeditorsavelog"] = true; // detect possible data loss$LIVEEDITORSAVELOG_PERC = 5; // log in case of at least 5% less data

Bugfix Link to this entry

The quickjump will now also update the tree menu for pages in nodes that use the liveeditor for editing.

Bugfix Link to this entry

The group permission view was fixed. Previously permission settings were also displayed for localized folders. Those folders will now be handled like inherited folders within a channel. No permission information will be displayed for those folders.

Bugfix Link to this entry

When using Aloha Editor, handling of empty block elements (like paragraphs) has been fixed now. All block elements will contain a single
when saved. This
tags will only be present while editing, if not using Internet Explorer.Additionally, the behaviour of creating empty paragraphs will now be consistent across all browsers, and regardless of whether the metaview plugin is turned on or off.

Gentics CMS 5.5.5

Fixed uploading files via the gcnfileupload Plugin in Aloha Editor, via the PHP uploader or via WebDAV in local channel folders. The uploaded files will now always belong to the correct channel.

Bugfix Link to this entry

Removed debug output line left in the file uploader by mistake.

Bugfix Link to this entry

Fixed redirecting requests to /CNPortletapp/latest/alohaeditor… to URLs containing the timestamp of the latest Aloha Editor Build to support probably existing proxyprefix, that is used when accessing Aloha Editor via a ProxyServlet for use in frontend editing.Since frontend editing only works, if the new Feature “redirect_check_referer” is turned on, this feature is now activated by default.

Bugfix Link to this entry

Fixed layout for page timemanagement in Internet Explorer where weekdays would not always have the checkboxes right next to them.

Gentics CMS 5.5.3

Manual Change

Fixed permission check for WebDAV: The command “Open” (for opening a folder in WebDAV) will only be shown for folders, where the user has permission to view, create, update and delete pages/files/images. This also fixes SGBs when users with insufficient permissions could open the folder in WebDAV.

Bugfix Link to this entry

Fixed exporting of the “inline editable“ flag of construct parts, which always was exported as “false”.

Bugfix Link to this entry

The performance of getting the list of constructs has been improved if a large number of constructs exist in the system.

Bugfix Link to this entry

Fixed moving of pages,images and files into localized/local folders in channels.

Bugfix Link to this entry

Fixed rendering of page versions that contain tags that have been deleted after the version was created.Rendering of page versions with deleted tags resulted in an empty pageto be displayed and an exception similar to the following to be thrown:com.gentics.api.lib.exception.InconsistentDataException: Data inconsistent: Container {xxx} of Value {xxx, xxx} does not exist!

Gentics CMS 5.5.2

Enhancement Link to this entry

This feature is considered stable even though the full testcycle has been omitted to be able to add it to release 5.5.2.
Added features “redirect_check_referer“ and “redirect_assume_https“ for redirecting the request to load the latest version of Aloha Editor with an URL like /CNPortletapp/latest/..., if using an additional Apache to handle SSL.Normally, the redirect would be done relative to the incoming request, but if an additional Apache is used to handle SSL, the incoming request to the backend would not know about https:// and the redirect would be done to http://.To avoid this, it is possible to use the feature “redirect_check_referer“, which would let the redirector check the referer URL and use the schema and hostname from it. In cases, where it is not sure, whether the referer is always available, it is possible to also use the feature “redirect_assume_https“ to always do the redirect to https:// and the hostname sent in the request header “Host”.

Gentics CMS 5.5.1

Publishing a page using the REST API used a multilevel publish workflow, while publishing a page in the backend used the old single-level publish workflow.The publish behavior has been unified now. The default behavior is now, that publishing the page over the REST API or the backend will use the old single-level publish workflow.Implementations that required the multilevel publish workflow need to add the configuration setting

$MULTILEVEL_PUB_WORKFLOW[nodeId] = true;

in the /Node/etc/node.conf for all nodes.

Manual Change

Manual Change

In version 5.4.19 the template mimetype was changed from text/js to text/javascript.

Link to this entry

This change was reverted due to an incompatibility with Gentics Portal.Node. This incompatibility was resolved for Gentics Portal.Node releases that were made after Update 11927 2012-03-02. Once you have updated your Gentics Portal.Node installations you can execute the following sql statement within your node database to apply the change. UPDATE ml SET contenttype = 'text/javascript' WHERE name='JavaScript'; The incompatibility caused pages that were created with the text/javscript mimetype to be displayed incorrectly within any portal that serves pages using the GenticsContentPortlet.

Link to this entry

Fixed omissions in user list when pages are being assigned for revision.

A previous fix to disable the paging of the list in the "assign for revision" dialog caused some users to be omitted from the list.

Bugfix Link to this entry

Fixed system messages when a page is put back into revision.Only the ID of the pages that were put into revision were shown in the system message, now the name (incl. full path) + ID are shown.Additionally, too many messages were sent to the editor of the page: one message that lists all pages, and one additional messaeg for each page. Now, only the first message, that lists all pages, will be sent.

Bugfix Link to this entry

Fixed url generation within imagemanipulation2. Previously image/css/js urls were only working within cms and not within the portal.

Gentics CMS 5.3.26

Fixed missing CHANGELOG type (SQL) in system.CHANGELOG and some missing ‘;‘. Those issues caused a problem with database updates. The previously missing database update did not affect operation since it was just a regular performance optimisation.

Manual Change

The Aloha Editor plugin API was changed

Link to this entry

Aloha Editor 0.10 will no longer expose its internal jQuery object through the $ and/or jQuery variables. You have to include your own version of jQuery if you relied on Aloha Editor‘s version prior to this update.# The “GENTICS_“ prefix for CSS class names has been replaced by “aloha-“. If you targeted those specific class names in your implementation those need to be updated.# The “GENTICS.Aloha“ namespace for Aloha Editor‘s JavaScript objects has been reduced to “Aloha” alone.*Please note:*# If you want to edit your pages using Aloha Editor a valid doctype has to be specified.# As the plugin system has been fully rewritten in Aloha Editor 0.10 plugins you wrote for 0.9.3 will not work with the new version. See our documentation on how to edit plugin settings.
