Gentics Content.Node Changelog Summary

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.22


Manual Change

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

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.

Fixed an error that prevented restoration of page versions.


Bugfix

Fixed NullPointerException that occurred when pages were created through the REST API.

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.15


Manual Change

The Apache HTTPD package has to be updated to the latest version.

  1. Download the self-executing installer package# Execute the installer package with the root user# The installer will ask whether the new configuration should be installed – please skip this step by pressing enter (the current configuration will be kept).

Enhancement

The page copy action performance was enhanced.


Enhancement

The REST API page/restore restore versions was optimized to be more consistant.


Enhancement

Inserted an input validation for HTML for the tagtype properties when the “validation” feature is turned on.

See: Validation


Bugfix

Fixed the old file/image uploader default filename containing a space which causes the validation to print an error.Seperated the headline and the filename translations.


Bugfix

Fixed the action icons (for multiple item actions) not being shown anymore in some folder views (images, templates, ...)


Bugfix

Fixed internationalization in Aloha-Editor assistant frame.


Bugfix

Fixed setting of filetype when uploading Files via the REST API. If the filetype is sent from the client, there is no auto-detection done on server side.


Bugfix

Fixed errors that were caused by missing folder or template objects duringa publishrun with versioned publishing enabled.Versioned publishing will render and publish the published content ofpages that are included in other pages, for example via an Overview, ora Tag (page), or similar TagTypes that can include content from otherpages, or via a Page variant.

Additionally, there were some changes concerning the versioning of pages.

First, the folder of a page has ben excluded from versioning. This meansthat the page will always be rendered in its current folder. Forexample, Changelog will render the name of the current foldereven in an older version of the page. Before this change, the name ofthe folder where the page was when the version was created was renderd.

Second, the template of a page is still versioned, but should thetemplate of an older version of the page have been deleted, the currenttemplate will be used as a fallback and a warning will be logged. Toavoid this, never delete a template that may be used by older versionsof a page.

These changes apply even when the versioned publishing feature is turnedoff.


Gentics Content.Node 5.4.14


Manual Change

The tagfill dialog will now only contain jquery version 1.6.1.

Previously two different jquery versions were loaded. This change may affect existing custom form tagtype implementations.

We suggest using the new jquery version 1.6.1.


Enhancement

Added name ‘inserttag‘ for insert tag button for Aloha Editor‘s gcn plugin to make it configureable.


Enhancement

When adding links to internal pages or files using Aloha, the path information of the pages in the search dropdown will no longer start with the Node name, because this is redundant information.

Enhancement

Removed most of the action icons from the page list view again (at the right side of the actionlist)


Enhancement

A logout link was added to the selfupdate dialog. It is now advised to logout and login again after the update was completed. This step ensures that the interface of the update user will be loaded correctly after the system was updated.

Bugfix

Fixed SGB that occured when accessing the node creation dialog directly after login.

Gentics Content.Node 5.4.0


Manual Change

Fixed page-import doesn‘t fill parts with cn_value keyword bug

The previous behaviour during a page import filled either a visible or editable part of an imported tag with the element contents. When thefeature cn_page_import_fill_editable_part was true, an editable part wasfilled. Otherwise a visible part was filled.This behaviour was contrary to the documentation, which states that the part with keyword “cn_value“ is filled with the element contents.The behaviour was fixed, so that “cn_value“ will be filled, if it exists. If no such part exists, the import will fall-back to the old behaviour.All tag-types that are used with the page-import must be checked for compatibility with the new behaviour. It must be ensured that, if there is a part with keyword “cn_value” in a tag-type, that it really is thepart that should be filled during page-import, and not one of the other editable or visible parts.


Manual Change

The FTP configuration within the node settings was removed.

Please use scheduler tasks instead.Here is an example task template that will sync a Node and the GenticsImageStore folder for that node:/Node/bin/lftp u "%user%,%password%" e "mirror R L e /Node/node/content/publish/pub/%ordner.node.host%%ordner.node.pub_dir% ./%wwwRoot%%ordner.node.pub_dir%;mirror R L e /Node/node/content/publish/pub/%ordner.node.host%/GenticsImageStore ./%wwwRoot%/GenticsImageStore;exit" %targetHost% 2>&1

Users may upload an avatar image to gravatar.com using their registered email adress.# When navigating through folders changing the folder views has become more intuitive.# Above page, file and image list a breadcrumb helps navigating.# The main tree view can now be adjusted in width. The tree can also be closed permanently.# Structure of rightclick submenues on page, file and image lists have been reorganized.# Access to the real editor from the page menu has been removed.


Enhancement

The default maximum size of tag-values has been increased to from 100KB to 1MB.

Bugfix

Fixed bug in GenticsImageStore which sometimes didn‘t round calculcated proportional widths or heights of images correctly when doing image resizing.
Example: /CNPortletapp/GenticsImageStore/150/auto/cropandresize/prop/22/0/964/674/The resulting proportional height has been 104,87… which was incorrectly cutted down to 104px instead of 105px


Bugfix

Fixed non-transactional delete of tagtypes that caused data inconsistency.When a tagtype was deleted, it was possible that template-tags or content-tags referring to the tagtype were left in the system, causing problems with the import/export feature.


Bugfix

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


Bugfix

Fixed: opening a WebDAV folder didn‘t work with some OS and browser configurations

The three methods to open a WebDAV folder are# folder is opened automatically immediately on clicking open on a folder in the tree# folder is opened by clicking the "here" link# folder is opened by copying the "here" link and pasting it manually into a new browser windowThese three methods were tested and work in the following configurations:# Windows XP IE7# Windows XP IE8# Windows 7 IE8# Windows 7 IE9To force the use of the Web Folders API the feature webdav_use_file_url can be set to false (default true).To force the old behaviour of opening WebDAV folders the feature webdav_use_web_folders can be set to false (default true).The default is to use the Web Folders API except on Windows Vista IE8 and Windows 7 IE8.If opening a folder doesn't work on Vista or Windows 7, try installing this update


Bugfix

Fixed rare case when filename is ~62 characters long and the automatically added file extension was cutted (example: .php -> .ph)
It now cuts the filename first so the file extensions always can be fully added.


Bugfix

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

Fixed the “publish” menu entries not being shown in the page menu when it was shown in the page list context menu (inconsistent behavior). It is now always shown.


Bugfix

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.
