Bricolage 1.10.2 Summer
is Here
2006.06.22
The Bricolage development team is pleased to announce the release of Bricolage 1.10.2. This maintenance release adds a number of improvements and many bug fixes. Highlights include easier republishing of documents from the Find inteface and better-behaving textarea fields in Internet Explorer. The most important changes are:
Improvements
The
codeselect
field's Perl code can now return an array of array references or a hash reference, in addition to the previous support for an even-sized array reference. [David]Added a
Republish
checkbox and correspondingPublish Checked
button to the Story and MediaFind
pages for stories and media not currently in workflow and to which the user has PUBLISH permission. Based on a patch from Serge Sozonoff. [David]The number of items on a desk can now be displayed next to the desk's name in the navigation menu, e.g.
Edit (10)
. This feature is configurable on a per-user basis via the newShow Desk Asset Counts
preference. Based heavily on a patch from Alex Howarth. [Marshall]Added a close icon to the drag bar of the dialog box. This is useful when the dialog box is bigger than the browser window and the close button therefore is off-screen. [David]
Aliases are now indicated in Find Stories by an arrow icon just before the story title. Suggested by Paul Orrock. [David]
Added
PUBLISH_RELATED_FAIL_BEHAVIOR
bricolage.conf directive to be used whenPUBLISH_RELATED_ASSETS
is enabled. If the automatic publication of a related story or media document will not be possible then the publish request will fail. It can be changed towarn
, the previous behaviour, if required. [Paul Orrock]Added the
Remove Frameset
link to the control bar next to theRepreview
link in the preview window. [Paul Orrock]Slightly tweaked the background color on table rows to make them easier to read. [Marshall]
Object select lists (such as for story element types when creating a new story) will now display as scrolling lists if there are more than 50 items in the list, rather than 20 or more items. [David]
Added a CSS ID to the
<body>
tag in the UI, of the formbricolage_
, whereVHOST_SERVER_NAME
VHOST_SERVER_NAME
is the value defined in bricolage.conf. Use this ID when writing user stylesheets to override the look of the Bricolage UI (see SkinningBricolage in the Wiki) [Marshall]
Bug Fixes
Fixed warnings in deprecated methods of Bric::Biz::Element::Container so that they are no longer fatal. Reported by Nate Perry-Thistle. [David]
Fixed the
Search by Subelement
feature of story search. Thanks to Nate Perry-Thistle for the spot. [David]The
Default Field
select list in Bulk Edit works again. Thanks to Tom Kjeldsen for uncovering the underlying problem. [David]Fields that use the
codeselect
widget work again. Reported by Michael Glaesemann. [David]Fixed the appearance of template diffs. Insertions and deletions now have color and no longer show underlines and strikethroughs (bug 1171). [Marshall]
Fixed a bug where search results would get
stuck
when pagination is turned on. Thanks to Nate Perry-Thistle for the spot (bug 1166). [Marshall]Using Internet Explorer to create a media document via a the upload field in a related media element no longer uses a full Windows file system path. Reported by Tom Kjeldsen. [David]
Aliases are once again identifiable on desks by a different background color for the title, and now also with an arrow icon that appears just before the story title. [David]
Contributors are no longer sorted by the
Name Format
preference's representation of the contributors' names in the interface to edit contributor associations. They are now properly sorted by association order. Reported by Bret Dawson. [David]The Help and logo popup buttons works again in Internet Explorer. Reported by Chris Heiland. [David]
Autosizing textarea fields now display full size in Internet Explorer when they have no content, instead of only 1 character wide. Reported by Paul Orrock. [David]
The Bulk Edit and template code textarea fields no longer jump around as you type in IE 6. [David]
