Changes with Gentics Content.Node 5.22.0

Date: 13.11.2015

Optional Manual Change

The rarely used “inpage“ functionality to pass object properties from folders or templates to pages via the context menu has been removed. If you have used the context menu option “in page changeable” on any folders or templates object properties, please create a new object property definition for the page with the same name like for the folder or template object property definition.

Optional Manual Change

The GCN link plugin for the Aloha editor now manages anchors in URLs. If this feature should be used, the tagpart anchor must be added to the gtxalohapagelink, and its template must be updated.

Please see the documentation of the Aloha page link tag for more information.

Enhancement

It is now possible to link the CMS with an external BPM Engine Server, based on the Activiti Business Process Management Platform.

Enhancement

The REST API has been extended:
New REST endpoints

  • /language/list returns a list of all available content languages
  • /node/getLanguages/{id} returns a list of all content languages for the specified node
  • /perm/list/{type} lists all groups with with their permission bits for the given object type

Enhanced REST endpoints

  • /user/list has new query parameter search to search in login, firstName, lastName and email
  • /user/list result can be sorted by id
  • /user/list has new query parameter group to add group information to response
  • /msg/send allows sending translated messages in multiple languages

Enhanced Java REST Client

  • new Method RestClient.authenticate() allows to authenticate session credentials (sid and secret)

Enhancement

The file and image lists now show if the object is currently online or not. Furthermore the online status information for pages has been refined to better reflect their online status (e.g. offline files which are locked or worked on now have unique icons).

Enhancement

It is now possible to configure the way how URLs to pages, files or folders will be rendered on a per node basis. See the Guides for more information.

Enhancement

The context menu in the list of files and images now contains an entry “Properties” which will show the Properties dialog of the selected file or image.

Enhancement

It is now possible to configure what kind of objects (pages, files, folders) will be published into the file system or content repository on a per node basis.

Enhancement

The node settings dialog has been cleaned up and now contains a tab for general settings and one for publication settings.

Enhancement

In implementations of CnMapPublishHandler, it is now possible to access the datasource, using the PortalConnectorFactory. The ID of the datasource will be passed to the CnMapPublishHandler instance in the init() call as parameter with the key CnMapPublishHandler.DS_ID.

Bugfix

Under specific circumstances, it was possible the normal inbox messages where shown as instant messages. This has been fixed now.
