Gentics Content.Node Changelog Summary

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.44

Optional Manual Change

The maximum number of clients used by the Apache Web Server for the CMS backend

must not exceed 200, since this is the default value of maximum connections Tomcat will accept.

Documentation SUP-3625

The backup guide has been updated.

Bugfix SUP-3434

Showing the tag status failed with an SGB for templates that contain tags with special characters (like -). This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3605

Two issues with the feature objprop_page_edit_assistant have been fixed: # The preview of inherited pages did not work (showed an empty page) # When opening the preview of a page, the page was locked

Bugfix SUP-3636

Link anchors were removed from external links when saving a page if the Aloha Link Tagtype is missing the “anchor“ part or if the link plugin setting “anchorLinks” is set to false. This bug has been introduced with Gentics CMS 5.22.0. This has been fixed and the documentation for the Aloha Link Tagtype implementation has been updated to address link anchors.

Bugfix SUP-3443

The script /Node/.node/setup-database.php for resetting the database will now set an exit status != 0 when it fails.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.43

Optional Manual Change

When using Internet Explorer in the Task Management UI, a small ‘x‘ button was shown

in the search field, which cleared the search field, but had no effect on the search itself. This ‘x‘ button has now been removed.
Installations using the Activiti Integration need to have the Activiti Server updated to get those fixes.

Bugfix SUP-3268

When translating a local page inside a channel without specifying the channel, the check whether the translation already exists didn‘t work and another language variant of the same page with the same language was created. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3576

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.

Bugfix SUP-3568

When opening a page for editing the event aloha-ready was never fired if the page contained no editable tags. This event should be triggered when the Aloha Editor is fully initialized. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.42

Optional Manual Change

In the Task Management the list of Completed Tasks can now also be filtered to show either all tasks or the tasks assigned to the current user.

Installations using the Activiti Integration need to have the Activiti Server updated to get those fixes.

Bugfix SUP-3551

The maintenance action “Check data“ for multichannelling contentrepositories did not identify objects in channels that should have been overwritten by localized copies. Also, the check only would set the data status to “error” if invalid objects were found in the master node, but not, if invalid objects only existed in channels. Both issues have been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3212

When using the extended search for pages in the root folder of a channel, it was not possible to restrict to templates, this has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3212

Localization of templates failed with an error. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3551

When moving a localized folder in a multichannelling environment, the localized copies did not get their parent‘s folder_id updated in the content repository. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3556

When a page was edited outside the backend UI (e.g. via frontend editing or using the new UI) and a new file was uploaded from within the tagfill dialog, an SGB could occur. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.41

Bugfix SUP-3527

The statement used to get the templates using a specific page (in a pagetag) was inefficient and could cause timeouts in the page list. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3378

Some minor issues with the detection of GCMS version numbers from local updatefiles have been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3367

Selecting some text in the tagfill with the chrome browser was not working as expected after opening and closing the RepositoryBrowser without selecting any objects. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3347

When evaluation of tagmap entries failed with unexpected errors (like NullPointerException) while publishing an object into a content repository, the logged error suppressed the expression causing the error. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3478

When a new tag was created in a page as copy of another tag with the Gentics Content.Node JavaScript API, the internal cache of the page was cleared which could lead to inconsistent behaviour. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3514

The default upload folders for images and files could not be unset, once they were set. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3501

When a folder was moved into another folder with more restrictive inheritance settings (in a multichannelling environment), and the moved folder or any of its subfolders contained objects in the wastebin which would not allow restricting the inheritance, the move operation did not fail with an explicit message naming the conflicting object, but failed with a general error message. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3491

The script /Node/bin/nodectl sometimes showed an error when stopping Tomcat, although stopping finally worked. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3324

When a localized or local page was edited in a channel, the setting for whether to use Aloha Editor was always taken from the master node, not from the channel. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3503

When the tagtype of an object property definition was changed, already existing object tags were not migrated, unless the change was done with the feature “tagtype migration”. This has been changed now. Existing object tags are migrated, when the object properties of an object are shown in the object properties dialog, or the object is loaded for editing.

Bugfix SUP-3435

When a tagtype contained multiple parts of type URL (page) and one of them referenced a page in the wastebin, opening the tagfill dialog failed with an SGB. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3334

The regexes contained in the package, which can be used for text parts of constructs did not have proper english translations, which have been added now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.40

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.39

Documentation SUP-2106

The guides on defining velocity macros in a library page were updated. They now recommend using tagtype “html (long)” to contain the velocity-code in the macro library page.

Bugfix SUP-3457

Purging the wastebin from many deleted folders consumed a big amount of memory, which could cause OutOfMemory errors. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3354

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. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3320

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.

Bugfix SUP-3413

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. The tag had to be filled once to fix this behaviour. This issue has been fixed now, the checkbox will now consistenly be handled as “not checked”.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.38

Bugfix SUP-2991

REST API: The query parameters “login“, “firstname“, “email“ and “lastname” for the REST endpoint /user/list produced errors. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.37

Bugfix SUP-3283

When copying a node together with its templates and some of the templates were assigned to folders in other nodes, the copies of those templates were also assigned to the folders of the other nodes. This has been fixed now. The copied templates will only be assigned to folders of the node copy.

Bugfix SUP-3392

When images are uploaded where the DPI cannot be determined, the DPI was set to 72 per default. This has been changed now, so that the DPI is internally set to 0. The image list will now show ‘N/A‘ for the DPI value in such cases. Images that are already uploaded will not be affected by this change, unless they are uploaded again.

Bugfix SUP-3405

In multichannelling environments, the dependencies of images were sometimes not stored correctly, which could cause the automatic dirting mechanism to fail dirting images. This has been fixed now. This change does not automatically fix probably missing dependencies, in order to recalculate the dependencies, it is necessary to republish all files from the maintenance dialog.

Bugfix SUP-3274

Setting the publish directory for a folder and all its subfolders may take a long time. This action has been modified to be continued in the background if it takes longer than 5 seconds. Before this fix, the long running request could cause a timeout, which was shown as error in the properties dialog of the folder.

Bugfix SUP-3329

When a master object was deleted and localized at the same time (by different users), this could cause a data inconsistency. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3424

If there was a publishrun between two imports of the same contentrepository, the second import would show a conflict for this contentrepository. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.36

Bugfix

When a link was removed in a page, the corresponding link tag was not deleted when the page was saved. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3190

The usage overview would always list all language variants of a page even though not all language variants used the object. The presentation has been fixed, so that each page using the object has its own entry in the list, but no symbols in the language column.

Bugfix SUP-3246

When editables were modified during the page save process, a dialog could pop up that warns about unsaved changes. In order to prevent this dialog from appearing once the page was saved or published by the user, an additional check has been added.

Bugfix

The import has been fixed to not fail when an export bundle of a newer version of the Gentics CMS is imported, that contains new references that are marked as optional.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.35

Bugfix SUP-3275

Recursively changing the publish directory of a localized folder with the “include subfolders” option did not change the publish directory of its subfolders if they are also localized. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.34

Bugfix SUP-3230

Entering URLs in the filter field of the page and template listings could render the filter unusable, and the only way to reset it, was to reset the session. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.33

Bugfix SUP-3196

A possible NullPointerException during the publish run has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.32

When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 7.0.70 which contains important security and bug fixes. You can delete the old Tomcat directory (/Node/apache-tomcat-7.0.61) after updating.

Documentation

The documentation of the Aloha Editor configuration has been extended to cover extension of the toolbar settings.

Bugfix SUP-3106

A NullPointerException occured in the /folder/disinherit/{id} REST endpoint if the parameter “exclude“ in the DisinheritRequest was set to true but the “disinherit“ and “reinherit” parameters where missing. Also some fields of the DisinheritRequest were undocumented. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3134

When an editable part of a construct was deleted, this could cause subsequent errors in the publish process when using the feature publish_cache due to incorrectly cleared caches. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3176

When using the Feature dskeepselectvalues with a part of type “Select (multiple)“ in the tagfill dialog, clicking “Apply“ and then “OK“ (or clicking “Apply” multiple times) would clear all selected values from the part. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.31

Bugfix SUP-2790

Fixed the top menu not changing, after viewing/editing a content page and changing to another CMS page with the assistant.

Bugfix SUP-3107

When the feature activiti_integration was activated and the CMS Tomcat not restarted, but only the configuration reloaded, a necessary background job was not started. This caused automatic handling of processes/tasks to not work. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2768

When a new editable part is added to the construct used in object properties the existing object tags of objects were not properly updated when the object properties dialog was opened. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3091

When a page is opened in edit mode of Aloha Editor and not saved within 10 minutes, the user‘s lock of the page was automatically lifted. This allowed other users to also edit the page, not aware that their changes could be overwritten by the first user. This has been fixed so that the lock on the page is updated on a regular basis as long as the first user keeps the page open in edit mode of Aloha Editor.

Bugfix SUP-3090

When a page is edited using Aloha Editor and the Tagfill Dialog is opened for a tag or the repository browser is opened, scrolling of the page is prevented.

Bugfix SUP-3087

The list of exports was created using inefficient SQL statements. This could cause timeout problems depending on the number of exports on the system and the user‘s paging setting. This update will create an index to speed up calculation of the number of warnings per export. Note that the change in the database structure might take longer than normal updates.

Bugfix SUP-3093

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 caused new tags being marked as “external“, even if the default value was “internal“, but no default page 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.

Bugfix SUP-2637

When using the GCN JS API to create tags in pages as copy of other tags, the callback passed to the function createTag was in some cases not called. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2917

A wrong permission check had the effect that the current folder was sometimes selected instead of the standard upload folder when uploading a file or an image in the tagfill. This happened if the user had no permissions for assigning user permission. This has been fixed. Now the current folder is only selected if the user has no permissions to view the standard upload folder.

Bugfix SUP-3099

In some cases, an additional tag was automatically added to rendered page sources, containing a Gentics Copyright notice. This has been removed now.

Bugfix SUP-2719

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. Handling of aborting publish processes with multithreaded publishing has been improved, so that exceptions will only be logged if they are a possible cause but not the consequence of the aborting process.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.30

Documentation SUP-3028

The documentation of the Pageurl/Fileurl parttype now includes the information that the url property is only set for internal links.

Bugfix SUP-2587

The scheduler will now show more detailed information (the complete stacktrace with causing exceptions), when the publish run fails with an exception.

Bugfix SUP-2902

The tagfill dialog still showed the names of referenced objects, even if they were put into the wastebin. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3024

When saving nodes using the REST API, setting the publish directory to empty did not work. Also when setting the publish directory to “/”, this was not corrected to be saved as empty. Both issues have been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-3024

Under special circumstances, the dependency calculation for a modified node or folder could fail with a NullPointerException, which has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3020

When objects in a multichannelling environment were published into a contentrepository with the permission information added, the permissions of localized folders were not correctly inherited from their master folder. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2927

When a folder is deleted (put into the wastebin), a check was done for objects having localized copies in the structure, which would also be deleted. This check has been extended to also check for local objects (objects that were created in subchannels of the deleted folder‘s channel).

Bugfix SUP-3037

When a specific magiclinkconstruct was configured, the links were still rendered as blocks (with edit icon) in edit mode. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2789

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.

Bugfix SUP-2995

When the master page of a localized copy was taken offline, editors were notified that pages in the channel linking to the localized copy contained an invalid link now, although the link was still valid (linking the localized copy). This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3066

When a new inline editable part was added to a construct and pages containing tags of that construct were edited using Aloha Editor, the new parts could not be filled unless the page was saved once. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3024

When editing the node properties and the checkbox “Separate directories“ is not checked, data entered in the field “Page directory“ should be copied into the (disabled) field “Binary directory”, which did not work. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2985

Objects (files, images, pages or folders) that were restored from the wastebin did not automatically republish other objects that directly referenced the restored object. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-3003

The assistant frame would not show the correct number of images in a folder, when there was an active filter for the images. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.29

Optional Manual Change

The implementation of the gtxalohapagelink tag has been updated because it did not work correctly for links to images.

In Detail: the implementation used a fixed type “10008“ for files and images, but images have the type “10011“. The corrected implementation reads the url target type correctly with “${parts.fileurl.target.ttype}“. Please update your implementation of the tagtype “gxtalohapagelink” accordingly to fix this problem.

Optional Manual Change

Various fixes have been made to the activiti integration:

  • Group permissions on the “Task Management“ will now be mapped to group types in activiti
  • The modal dialog for tasks will now display newline characters in the task description as line breaks.
  • Minor styling issues have been fixed.
  • Users can now delete tasks they have created.
  • The button to complete a task is now labelled with “Complete task“
  • The list of completed tasks is now labelled with “Completed tasks”
  • eMails that were sent for inbox messages regarding tasks contained a placeholder for the task, which has been removed.
  • Opened tasks will now be added to the history in the assistent frame.

Installations using the Activiti Integration need to have the Activiti Server updated to get those fixes.

Bugfix SUP-2967

Fixed the quickjump also opening deleted pages when pressing enter instead of selecting an autocomplete result. Deleted pages will not be opened anymore. Also disabled the cache for the autocompletion as it could show old search results.

Bugfix SUP-2549

Pagetags were still rendered, even if the targeted page was put into the wastebin. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2968

When the publish directory of a folder or the hostname of a node was changed, republishing of pages did not always work correctly, when the node published only into the file system. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2926

Objects that were put into the wastebin and restored from the wastebin between two publish runs where sometimes incorrectly removed from the content repository during the next publish run. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.28

Optional Manual Change

Several minor issues in the Activiti UI have been fixed:

  • Task lists were empty, when no paging was selected in the user settings
  • Some layout issues with the pagination have been fixed
  • It is now possible to filter for tasks created by the current user
  • Task lists will now by default be sorted by creation time with newest task first

Installations using the Activiti Integration need to have the Activiti Server updated to get those fixes.

Bugfix SUP-2872

Files and folders were not correctly published after restoring them from the wastebin. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2162

When using the CASIntegrationFilter or HttpAuthFilter for SSO to the CMS backend, it could be possible that multiple identical users were created in the CMS backend database, if multiple concurrent requests with the same new user where done. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2829

Removing a construct from a node failed with the incorrect error message “Array”, if the construct would only be linked to nodes that user had no permission to unlink constructs from. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2704

An internal pool for prepared database statements was not properly sized and could consume a large amount of memory during a long running publish process. This could lead to memory exhaustion and failing publish processes. The maximum number of pooled connections has been reduced to 10000 by default, and can now be configured as described in the guides.

Bugfix SUP-2620

The SQL Statements used to get the migration status for tagtype migrations was inefficient and could cause long running REST Requests. This has been fixed. Additionally, it is now possible to configure the polling interval for getting the migration status (default is still 1 second). See the guides for details. If the previous request to get the migration status did not return before the next request is due, the next request will be omitted now.

Bugfix SUP-2620

Requests to the REST API created write locks to the user‘s systemsession entry, that would persist for the whole request duration. This caused parallel requests with the same session to be blocked until the first request was finished. This has been fixed now, the write lock to the systemsession will be lifted as soon as possible.

Bugfix SUP-2860

Due to an incorrect consistency check, it was not possible to reinherit an object into a channel, when the parent folder was localized in that channel. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.27

Optional Manual Change

The datasource “[Navigation] sortby“ in our Standard CMS installation can‘t be used for folder sorting in navigations unless you change the entry “Folder Sorting / Ordnersortierung“ from “obj.sortby“ to “object.sortorder”. This is fixed in the mysql dump for new installations.

Bugfix SUP-2810

The activiti integration has been improved:

  • Task lists and process lists can now be sorted
  • The paging of task and process lists is taken from the user settings
  • Process filters have been improved
  • Group names of Activiti groups contain the paths of the CMS Groups
  • Tasks can be filtered for “eligible“ tasks (current user is candidate)
  • Tasks can be filtered for “finished” tasks (finished by current user)
  • Comments and file attachments can be configured per task key
  • The usertask dialog has been improved (task must be claimed before it can be finished)
  • Several styling issues have been fixed

Bugfix SUP-2594

ContentRepository browser: An error was printed, when one of the CRs is using the same MySQL username and password like the CMS itself and persistent database connections are activated. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2863

Rest API: Fixed a bug in the auth/validate method where a session with ID -1 was considered as valid.

Bugfix SUP-2877

The elements selection of an overview could contain elements that were already put into the wastebin (deleted). This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2833

An error in the node library has been fixed, which could cause the CMS to hang when using instant publishing into multichannelling aware contentrepositories.

Bugfix SUP-2810

If users where deactivated in the CMS, but not removed from their groups, those users were still returned by the list method of the REST API. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.26

Optional Manual Change

Fixed a bug that breaks updating the CMS from the local filesystem. If you currently have a version installed, that has been released between 23.03.2016 and 24.05.2016, please read this page in order to update.

Bugfix SUP-2233

Fixed a “Data inconsistent” (missing construct) error that could happen when loading, saving or publishing objects that have been created during the deletion of a tagtype. This affected content tags, template tags and object tags.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.25

Bugfix SUP-2816

If a user had no paging acitivated he could still only see a maximum of 18 entries in the wastebin. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2683

On some occasions page links where missing in inbox messages. This bug was introduced with GCN Version 5.22.15 and does not affect previous major releases. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.24

Documentation SUP-2577

Added a missing migration step in the package migration guide for “SUSE Enterprise Linux Server”. ImageMagick also has to be installed during the package migration.

Bugfix

The publish log will now contain render times for the content and other attributes of pages separately.

Bugfix SUP-2750

When using the old archive workflow to move files into another folder (instead of deleting them), the workflow failed, when the archive folder already contained a file with a name that was only different in case. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2475

The unlocalize REST endpoints required the channel sync permission to unlocalize object, even when a user had enough permissions to delete them. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2753

The DPI value shown for a file in the image list of a folder wasn‘t always correct and sometimes differed from the DPI value from the Rest API/database. The DPI value output is now the same.

Bugfix SUP-2736

Installation: The SQL dump contained trigger information that could cause SQL errors when the MySQL user didn‘t match ‘node_cms@localhost. The triggers have been removed out of the dump file.

Bugfix SUP-2731

When a node was copied, where the source node contained templates that were linked to folders in the wastebin, the copies of the templates were also linked to the source folders in the wastebin. This has been fixed now, the copied templates will only be linked to folders in the target node.

Bugfix SUP-2730

When copying a page to the root folder of a channel it was copied to the master of the root folder of the channel instead. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2783

The error message for duplicate folder names (when creating or updating a folder) will now contain the full path of the conflicting folder. When the conflicting folder exists in another channel, the path will be shown in that channel.

Bugfix SUP-2728

The cache for node objects can now be individually configured for object type. See the Guides for details.

Bugfix SUP-2634

Enhanced fetching the latest available CMS update from the update server, so it doesn‘t block the CMS start page loading unnecessarily. That means if the update server is unreachable, the start page will still work. Also the current CMS version is now read from the Rest API, and not the database anymore.

Bugfix SUP-2728

The performance for the display of objects in the wastebin has been improved. The object counts in the assistent frame will now be fetched asynchronously. This means that the numbers might appear (or be updated) with a slight delay.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.23

Bugfix

The publish statistics for rendering pages have been improved to distinguish between rendering content and rendering other attributes.

Bugfix SUP-2718

LDAP: Fixed an issue with Windows 2003 Active Directory referrals when someone tries to login by setting the LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS option to 0. If you encounter an error after updating, please set the setting $LDAP_LOGIN[‘referrals‘] = 1; in the configuration.

Bugfix SUP-2717

Fixed a problem where the permissions of templates linked to a folder in the wastebin only can‘t be determined anymore. This can cause imports to fail with an “Insufficient permissions” error.

Bugfix SUP-2702

When changing the definition of an object property, the internal cache of the definition was not invalidated correctly. This could cause the change not to take effect immediately. When, for example, the “inheritable” flag of folder object property definition was changed, and a new folder was created, it could happen that the old inheritance behavior was executed. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2714

A language in a node can‘t be deactivated when there is a page in the wastebin for this language. The error message has been improved to also display the count of pages in the wastebin for this language.

Bugfix SUP-2717

Previously, templates that were only linked to one folder were wrongly deleted when the folder was moved to the wastebin. Now templates will only be removed when a folder is permanently deleted.

Bugfix SUP-2721

Multichannelling: Renaming the publish directory of a localized folder back to the one of the master folder didn‘t work in some cases. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.22

Documentation SUP-2698

Updated compatibility list and installation guide. It is mandatory to use the Oracle JDK with Gentics CMS.

Documentation SUP-2664

A note has been added to the faq for contentrepositories that explains the output of the data check.

Bugfix SUP-2635

Changing permissions produced unnecessary database locks. This could cause errors while changing permissions due to lock wait timeouts. The SQL statements for changing permissions have been modified to avoid unnecessary locks and reduce the possibility for lock wait timeout errors.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.21

Bugfix SUP-1632

Installation Package: Correctly install and enable nodectl service.

Bugfix SUP-2376

Aloha links were rendered with the “aloha-block” CSS class, which was removed when the page was fully loaded. This lead Aloha editor to believe pages containing links have been modified, even if nothing was changed. This has been fixed.

Bugfix

PLinks with attributes other than id were not processed properly by the Aloha renderer which could cause problems with front end editing. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2419

Fixed the following bugs in the task management view:

  • when viewing a task, its name was not properly translated
  • filtering tasks by name was case sensitive
  • the OK button in the bulk edit confirmation was always disabled
  • when a task had no due date set, this information was not visible in the edit dialog

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.20

Documentation SUP-2067

The documentation of the Import in the Guides has been extended to explain, what will happend during an import.

Bugfix SUP-2567

Tagtype parts of the type “Text (custom form)” could not be migrated with the migration feature. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2496

Updater: Fixed that the update file is not deleted and downloaded again when it is corrupted.

Bugfix SUP-2575

The paging controls were missing in the usage overviews of files and images. Also the overview of folders using an object did not list those folders, but the subfolders of the objects parent folder. These issues have been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2563

The version diff did not ignore differences in zero-width whitespace characters. This caused diffs shown in places with no visible difference. This has been fixed now, zero-width whitespace characters will now be ignored.

Bugfix SUP-2610

Visiting the startpage caused errors to be logged when trying to get the estimated remaining time of the publishrun. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.19

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.18

Bugfix SUP-2614

When a master page was deleted from the publish cache, publications of its localized copies failed because dependencies could not be handled properly. This has been fixed.

Bugfix

The publish statistics for publishing files into ContentRepositories has been fixed to better distinguish between several steps.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.17

Bugfix SUP-2583

The SQL dump file for new CMS installations has been updated in order to fix some issues. The following changes have been done:

  • Updated the table structure (applied the changelog)
  • Removed old page versions from the demo node
  • Deleted old session entries
  • Deleted old log entries
  • Updated the template of the Aloha Editor link tagtype

Bugfix SUP-2378

When the internal scheduler fails to start upon start of the Tomcat (e.g. due to failures while connecting to the DB), the Tomcat will fail to start with an error message logged. Before this fix, Tomcat would start anyways and some background operations like deleting or localizing objects would only be queued, but never executed.

Bugfix SUP-2583

Fixed a nullpointer-exception that could happen when starting the CMS the first time and the UUID of the demo node is null.

Bugfix SUP-2540

The logs view can now be filtered by maintenance actions.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.16

Bugfix SUP-2564

If a User had no viewing permission on Content.Admin then the user could not insert new tags with the aloha editor. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.15

Bugfix SUP-2514

Image Manipulation: replaced a confusing warning when saving auto-resized images with a clearer info message.

Bugfix SUP-2550

When restoring a page from the wastebin, the page was not visible in it‘s folder right away because the cache of the parent folder was not refreshed. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2451

Aloha Editor gcn-plugin: Since the bugfix for SUP-2365, the editable configuration for the insert-tag buttons didn‘t work correctly anymore. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2511

Creating a copy of an image immediately after cropping would fail without an error message. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2551

Links in Messages were HTML-Entity encoded by mistake. This affected the automatic messages that are generated when pages where added to the publish queue.

Bugfix SUP-2515

Loading a Template using the REST API produced an error when a request accepted the mimetype “application/xml” for the response. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2525

Deleted images were still visible in the minibrowser. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2555

When publishing into a ContentRepository with instant publishing, objects that were disinherited in some channels were incorrectly removed from the ContentRepository completely (for all channels). This has been fixed now. Since changing the inheritance of objects possibly affects many objects, instant publishing has been turned off for changing the inheritance. After changing the inheritance of objects, a publish process is required to add or remove objects to/from the ContentRepository.

Bugfix SUP-2504

When copying links in the Aloha Editor the second link would not be converted to a new link tag, causing multiple instances of links with the same (tag) ID on the page. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2539

When objects were moved between folders, pages containing automatic overviews were not always dirted. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2451

Aloha Editor gcn-plugin: When an editable was configured to show no insert buttons (empty array), the arena that contains the buttons normally was still shown. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.14

Optional Manual Change

The implementation of the gtxalohapagelink tag has been updated in the guides to fix the detection of an empty anchor tagpart.

When using the velocity code from the guide (or a variation thereof) please make sure to use #set($anchor = "$!parts.anchor") instead of #set($anchor = "$parts.anchor").

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.13

Bugfix

Fixed a GenticsImageStore bug which caused resizing operations to fail due to a broken dependency of http-client. This also affected the image manipulation tool. The bug affected all GCN versions that were released after 17.02.2016.

Bugfix SUP-2495

Aloha Editor gcn-plugin: Inserting new tags didn‘t work anymore because the construct property mayBeSubTag got renamed in the previous bugfix for SUP-2429 but wasn‘t renamed in the gcn-plugin. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.12

Bugfix SUP-2184

When Drag & Drop was disabled and several occurrences of the same tag (that is with the same tag ID, not just the same tag type) were present in nested editables, the edit and delete icons could be inactive. This has been fixed.
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. This fix just prevents certain subsequent errors when duplicates of a tag are already present in the page.

Bugfix SUP-2201

The sidebar pannels of the GCN FileLink plugin now look more like their counterparts in the link plugin.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.11

Bugfix SUP-2429

Java rest client: Fixed the jackson object mapper throwing a parse error when calling the rest method “construct.list“. In order to fix this the method “Construct.getMayBeSubTag“ has been renamed to “Construct.getMayBeSubtag”.

Bugfix SUP-2402

Rest API: Passing global object IDs in the new UUID format didn‘t work. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2289

Fixed a null pointer exception that sometimes occured when deleting a whole node with templates.

Bugfix SUP-2429

The Java REST API client didn‘t correctly define the Maven dependency for jackson-jaxrs. That‘s why this dependency had to be defined manually before. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2311

Resized images in the GenticsImageStore were not properly updated when the binary contents of an image changed. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.10

Documentation SUP-1298

Installation guides: Changed the text about trigger deletion to be more clear on when it needs to be done and added the — max_allowed_packet option to all mysqldump calls.

Bugfix SUP-2415

When the wastebin feature is activated, the startpage flag icon wasn‘t shown correctly when the pages folder was localized and then moved to the wastebin (deleted). This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2365

When editing a page, it was possible to insert new tags inside links. This corrupted the link when saving the page. Inserting tags inside links is not possible anymore now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.9

Bugfix SUP-2290

Fixed the Javascript error “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘themes‘ of undefined” that occured when loading or saving a page.

Bugfix SUP-2354

An error was logged when rendering a velocity part that resolved a “Select (single)”-part where nothing was selected. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.8

Bugfix SUP-2269

Node id and folder id were missing in the php session when editing object properties. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2303

If there are two consecutive tables in an editable, the draghandle of the second table could overlap cells from the first table. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2338

The background job for cleaning old systemsessions could cause deadlocks in the database, which caused errors while users tried to log in into the backend. Those deadlocks have been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2353

When a new tag was inserted into a page using Aloha Editor and then the user navigated away from the page (without saving first), the page was not saved and the user did not get the notification about unsaved changes in the page. This has been fixed now. The user will get a notification about unsaved changes in such cases.

Bugfix SUP-2177

When using the GCN filelink plugin the filelink tag was not removed, when the link was changed to an external URL. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2324

Newlines in Instant Messages where wrongly replaced by HTML-Entity encoded
tags. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.7

Bugfix SUP-2194

When using the GCN JS API to create a tag in a page, the information about the pages tags was not always properly updated (e.g. when copying a tag containing nested tags). This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.6

Bugfix SUP-2248

When using the features publish_cache, wastebin and multichannelling and a localized page was put in the wastebin, the inherited page was not contained in the list of pages in a folder, if rendered in velocity. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2256

In the page list view the sequence of the columns was mixed up after a new column was added in bugfix SUP-1815. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2222

After editing the page properties and saving the changes, the page was not unlocked. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2284

Certain corrupt images files (e.g. empty files) could cause the publish process to fail, when the image needed to be resized by the GenticsImageStore. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2029

The version difference view didn‘t correctly work for HTML pages. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-1804

Fixed a bug with siteminder datasources, where the reading of the datasource values didn‘t work, when the publish_cache feature is activated.

Bugfix SUP-2184

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 edit and delete icons could be inactive. This has been fixed.
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 duplicates of a tag are already present in the page. The different occurrences of a tag are not necessarily synchronized.

Bugfix SUP-2305

When publishing images/files into a contentrepository and having the attribute binarycontent set to be a filesystem attribute, in some rare cases it could happen, that the attribute contained old data. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-2234

When images used in the GenticsImageStore were put into the wastebin, this sometimes could let the publish process fail with “Couldn‘t find image { [ID] } to link”. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.5

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.4

Optional Manual Change

For copying Pages with the REST API you can now set multiple SourcePage Ids in the PageCopyRequest

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.3

Bugfix SUP-2176

When inserting a file link, with the FileLink plugin the freshly inserted link was not visible for editing. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2147

When the publish process was interrupted while synchronizing deleted objects with content repositories, the publish process did not stop, but just skipped over to the next step (publishing pages). This has been fixed now, when the publish process is interrupted in that state, it will stop as soon as possible.

Bugfix SUP-1684

When pages were published using the time management (“publish at”), and the publish process needed to create a version, this new version did not have an editor set. This has been changed now, so that the user who last edited the page will be set as editor of the page version.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.2

Bugfix SUP-1862

The systemsession table was not cleaned regularly from old session data, which could cause the table to grow too big. This has been fixed now.
Also, request done via the REST API did not “touch” the systemsession by setting the time of the last access. This has also been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2160

Copying nodes where objects have been moved to the wastebin (deleted) didn‘t work. This has been fixed.

Bugfix SUP-2154

Fixed an SGB error that happened when saving object properties or definitions on systems that got updated from an older GCN version to 5.22.0 or higher.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.1

Optional Manual Change

The FileLink plugin did not treat images as files.

If an image was selected, a normal link to that image was created. This has been fixed now, so that also images will be treated as files.
For this fix to work, also the implementation of the tagtype might be changed: The hardcoded type 10008 has to be replaced with $!{cms.tag.parts.file.target.ttype}. See the Guides:“http://www.gentics.com/Content.Node/guides/aloha_gcn_filelink_plugin.html” for details.

Bugfix SUP-2112

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.

Bugfix

Removed a wrong changelog note from version 5.20.21

Bugfix SUP-1816

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-1445

When clicking the “Create copy“ button when editing an image, the button label changed to “Duplicate”. This has been fixed, so that it stays the same.

Bugfix SUP-2148

Fixed the tree frame becoming smaller each time it is loaded in Internet Explorer. Also fixed some Javascript errors in the tree.

Bugfix SUP-1913

The preview tooltip in the repository browser has been moved, so that it will no longer overlap with nearby filenames.

Bugfix SUP-2107

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

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.

Bugfix SUP-1826

When the feature wastebin is activated, the group Node Super Admin will automatically get the permission to view the wastebin for all Nodes.

Gentics Content.Node 5.22.0

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

  • /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.
