Gentics Content.Node Changelog Summary

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.26

Bugfix SUP-6749

The ‘Save‘ button is now always enabled when editing pages, properties, and object properties, except if the respective object is locked by another user. This resolves several issues where the ‘Save‘ button was not being enabled after a change.

Bugfix SUP-6694

Sometimes the buttons “OK“ and “Cancel” were missing in the tagfill dialog, when using the new UI. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-6762

On slow machines and/or slow connections a race condition in the new UI could render the UI unusable. This has been fixed.

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.25

Bugfix SUP-6235

When loading a template over the REST API with a given nodeId, the list of objecttags in the template will now be restricted to the objecttags, which are either globally available or assigned to the node.

Bugfix SUP-6725

Devtool packages, which are created as symbolic links are not automatically detected. Directories with names starting with ‘.‘ (like ‘.git‘, ‘.svn‘, ...) are no longer detected as devtool packages. It is also no longer possible to create a package over the UI or REST API with a name starting with ‘.‘.

Bugfix SUP-6439

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)

Bugfix SUP-6675

Adds extra validity checks and uniqueness on breadcrumbs creation.

Bugfix SUP-5480

Sometimes, when updating the binary contents of files, some temporary files could be left over in the folder /Node/tomcat/temp This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-5404

Changes made on object property definitions were not automatically synchronized to devtool packages, even when the automatic sync was enabled. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-6325

When an import changed only tags of a template, but no properties of the template itself (like the name or source), the editor and edate of the template were not modified. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-5519

The cookie handling of the RestClient has been modified, so that every instance will use a separate store. This fixes overwriting of the session cookie when multiple logged in instances were used.

Bugfix SUP-5378

The previews of images, which were resized with the GenticsImageStore were cached, regardless of whether the editor was allowed to view them. This could cause editors to see the cached “not allowed” image, if if they had sufficient privileges. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.24

Bugfix SUP-6600

Under special circumstances (e.g. when using instant publishing, a fileupload manipulator and activiti), dirting of files did not always work as expected. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.23

Bugfix SUP-6654

When opening a page with variants an internal error occured, which in some cases prevented the “Save Page” and other buttons to not be displayed. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-6610

When user clicks on a language of a page and select Preview of the language in the context menu it was opened in Edit mode, but should be opened in Preview mode. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-6617

When using the new UI to edit the object properties of a file or image, saving could fail with an SGB, if the user never used the old UI before. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.22

Optional Manual Change

When saving forms containing ‘><”‘ chrome xss auditor was triggered. This can be deactivated by sending the X-XSS-Protection: 0 header.

Please enable the Apache 2 module “headers“. On most distributions this is done by executing “a2enmod headers”. Apache 2 has to be restarted afterwards. See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=654794 for more details on the topic.

Bugfix SUP-6280

When objects were synchronized between channels, overviews were not dirted and republished in all cases. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-5179

When publishing files into a ContentRepository, errors like com.gentics.api.lib.exception.NodeException: Error while adding a dependency where logged. Those errors had no functional consequence and will be omitted now.

Bugfix SUP-6315

When copying a tag containing a checkbox part using the REST API endpoint /page/newtag, the tag returned by that call always claimed the checkbox part to have value “false“ (even if the copied tag was stored with the correct value “true”). This has been fixed now, the returned tag will always contain the correct data.

Bugfix SUP-6295

When a previous version of a page was restored in the new UI, the page‘s status label was not updated to ‘edited‘. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.21

The Gravatar feature will be removed in GCMS Version 5.32.
Meanwhile, Gravatar should be disabled by setting
$FEATURE[“no_gravatar”] = true;
See also No Gravatar in the guides.

Bugfix SUP-6161

The uniqueness check for page filenames failed to detect conflicts with published page versions, when the page was modified to another filename and not republished. This has been fixed now, the uniqueness check will now also check against published page versions.

Bugfix SUP-6250

The GlobalIdSync tool has been extended to support synchronization of datasource_values, if the datasources are in sync.

Bugfix SUP-5153

The progress bar for downloading an import bundle has been improved to update more often.

Bugfix SUP-6075

When using the feature devtools and editing a template from the Templates list of a Node, this sometimes failed with an SGB due to an incorrect permission check. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-6112

Deleting folders or triggering dependencies in multichannelling environments sometimes failed with an error like: Data inconsistent: Folder {[id]} of page {[id]} does not exist!

UI: Fix styling of overlay tagfill modals

Bugfix SUP-6361

UI: Fix styling in node properties

Bugfix GTXPE-248

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.19

Bugfix SUP-6171

Sometimes page versions where created out of order, which could also cause some page versions to be used multiple times. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-6113

The REST API Endpoints

  • /page/usage/tag
  • /page/usage/variant
  • /page/usage/page
  • /file/usage/page
  • /image/usage/page

never returned additional data with the pages (like contenttags, objecttags, ...), although the example in the REST API documentation showed this data.
The endpoints now accept additional query parameters to add various information (similar to /folder/getPages/[id]).

Bugfix SUP-6214

When using the features nice_url and publish_cache in combination, saving pages with nice URLs could fail with an internal error, which has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.18

When using the features nice_urls and multichannelling, copying a page into a folder with more restrictive inheritance settings than the source folder failed with an internal error. This has been fixed now.

Bugfix SUP-6162

The Tag Type Migration did not correctly handle queued pages. Queued pages have automatically been published before. This behaviour has been fixed now. Handled pages will now be put back into the queued status by the migration.

Bugfix SUP-6015

UI: Editor no longer overrides link behavior for anchor links. This restores the behavior of editables which rely on jQuery UI and other jQuery plugins.

Bugfix SUP-6034

When uploading a file failed (e.g. due to insufficient permissions or because it has been denied by the file upload manipulator), the response message was general and not specific to the causing problem. This has been fixed now. Especially when the file is denied by the file upload manipulator, the message provided by the file upload manipulator will be returned now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.17

Bugfix SUP-5755

UI: Show search field more visible

Bugfix SUP-5748

UI: Show correct usage count after new page variation created

Bugfix SUP-5756

When a page was rendered in preview or edit mode with Aloha Editor, the response contained the content-type of the page, but returned basically HTML code. This caused the browser to not display the response, but an error instead. This has been changed now, so that the content-type of the response will always be text/html.

Bugfix SUP-5856

When creating or updating a page over the REST API or with the new UI, and setting a filename without or with a wrong extension (that is: an extension that does not match the extension enforced by the page‘s template), the correct extension was not automatically appended. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.16

Bugfix SUP-5894

UI: Add option to keep existing filename when replacing item

Bugfix SUP-3564

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

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

Bugfix SUP-6017

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

Bugfix SUP-4942

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.15

Bugfix SUP-5876

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

Bugfix SUP-5823

Bugfix SUP-5967

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.14

Optional Manual Change

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

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

Bugfix SUP-5831

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

Bugfix SUP-5700

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

Bugfix SUP-5846

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

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.13

Bugfix SUP-5804

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

Bugfix SUP-5757

UI: Ignore “#” links in internal link handling

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.12

Bugfix SUP-5714

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

UI: Show correct error messages

Bugfix SUP-5667

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

Bugfix SUP-5609

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

Bugfix SUP-5665

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

Bugfix SUP-5666

UI: Disable button when sending form to prevent double click

Bugfix SUP-5668

UI: When editing a page, the page was marked as being modified too often (even when there was no actual change), which caused a warning about unsaved changes when leaving the edit mode (e.g. switching to preview). This has been changed now, so that the page will only be marked modified, if actually changed.

Bugfix SUP-5671

UI: Show error message when saving item properties fails

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.11

Manual Change

The new UI is now shipped with a .htaccess file that controls the cache settings. Please enable the Apache 2 module “mod_expires“. On most distributions this is done by executing “a2enmod expires”. Apache 2 has to be restarted afterwards.

Bugfix SUP-5351

When using the devtools to synchronize an object property definition, the category and the flags for required and inheritable were not synchronized. This has been fixed now.
Note, that objects, that were synchronized to the filesystem with a version of Gentics CMS having this fix can no longer be synchronized from the filesystem with an older version.

  • Allowed object types
  • Allowed selection types
  • Hide sort options
  • Sticky Channel

Bugfix SUP-5350

When using the tagfill dialog in the new UI, selecting an image could cause an error (showing a blank page), if the user had never logged in using the old UI before. This has been fixed now.

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.8

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.7

Bugfix SUP-5241

Bugfix SUP-4972

When an editor starts editing a page that has unversioned changes, the implicitly created version will now have the timestamp of the last change made on the page, not the current timestamp.

Bugfix SUP-4929

When doing a global tagtype migration on pages and templates, the templates were migrated first. This caused pages to be changed to use the new tagtype, without applying the mapping. The order has been changed now, so that pages will be migrated first, and the templates after that.
Additionally, the Guides:“http://www.gentics.com/Content.Node/guides/feature_migration.html#limitations” have been updated with a note, that when tags in templates are migrated, that are editable in pages, the pages will be changed, but not migrated with the mapping.

Gentics Content.Node 5.28.4
