Changes with Gentics Content.Node 5.20.2

Date: 18.06.2015


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.

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/

Bugfix SUP-918

Sometimes, handling dependencies caused errors due to stale database connections. This has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-1185

When changing the name of a construct part, the name was also changed for other newly created parts. This is because all newly created construct parts had the name id 1. This bug has been introduced in version 5.20.0.


Bugfix SUP-1091

When deleted objects are shown in the object lists of channels, only the wastebin related actions will be available. The activated display of deleted objects will now be indicated by a label.


Bugfix SUP-1163

When exporting objects with translatable names (like tagtypes or object property definitions), the export file could contain an inconsistency due to missing translations. This subsequently caused an “Internal Error” during import. This issue has been fixed.


Bugfix SUP-1096

In cases where the publish process is interrupted (cancelled) while waiting for a semaphore to write into a contentrepository, additional information about the thread which last acquired that semaphore will now be logged.


Bugfix SUP-918

The columns for storing dirt analysis information in the backend database sometimes where too small and have been extended now.


Bugfix SUP-1192

When closing the node properties dialog, an SGB occurred, which has been fixed now.


Bugfix SUP-1056

Saving of pages that contain lot‘s of new links may take some time. During this time, the editor has no indication that the new links are currently processed and prepared to be saved. The behaviour has been changed now, so that a progress information is shown during page save and preparing new links to be saved is done much more efficient.


Bugfix SUP-1192

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 lead to errors in the publish process in cases of duplicate filenames. After this update, all published pages will be searched for images to be resized in order to correct incorrectly written resized images. This could cause the next publish run to take longer than usual.
