Bricolage 1.10.2 Changes

2006.06.22

Improvements

  • Added the subelement_id parameter to the story and media list() methods. [David]

  • Added placeholder for Japanese localization. Expect a translation soon! [David]

  • 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 corresponding Publish Checked button to the Story and Media Find 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]

  • Added tests for Bric::SOAP::Auth, although they haven’t yet been integrated into make devtest. [Scott]

  • 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 new Show Desk Asset Counts preference. Based heavily on a patch from Alex Howarth. [Marshall]

  • Updated README.MacOSX with instructions on how to use the built-in version of Apache instead of compiling everything yourself. Also fixed a broken link and an outdated warning about Apache::SizeLimit. [Marshall]

  • Internationalized the JavaScript messages for the Find/Replace dialog box, although there are currently no translations. [David]

  • 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]

  • Optimized the get_notes() and has_notes() methods of Bric::Biz::Asset and therefore of the story, media, and template classes. [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 when PUBLISH_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 to warn, the previous behaviour, if required. [Paul Orrock]

  • Added the Remove Frameset link to the control bar next to the Repreview link in the preview window. [Paul Orrock]

  • Deleted all of the outdated and unused .use files from sql/Pg. [David]

  • Removed documentation of the -t option of bric_pgimport, which hasn’t actually done anything for a long time, anyway. [David]

  • Moved translation-specific JavaScript and CSS files into i18n folders under their respective folders in comp/media/. [Marshall]

  • Slightly tweaked the background color on table rows to make them easier to read. [Marshall]

  • Converted the group permissions editor to XHTML and CSS to fix some rendering glitches. [Marshall]

  • Made word and character counts properly appear read-only, and repositioned the find/replace and cheat sheet buttons to the top right of the box. [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 form bricolage_VHOST_SERVER_NAME, where 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 the rarely-used DISABLE_NAV_LAYER bricolage.conf directive. [Scott]

  • Fixed warnings in deprecated methods of Bric::Biz::Element::Container so that they are no longer fatal. Reported by Nate Perry-Thistle. [David]

  • Fixed reverted media that led to the Too many Bric::Biz::Element::Container objects found error. It was supposed to have been fixed in 1.10.1, but that fix unfortunately only fixed stories. Reported by Tom Kjeldsen. [David]

  • Fixed the subelement_key_name parameter to the story and media list() methods. [David]

  • Fixed the Search by Subelement feature of story search. Thanks to Nate Perry-Thistle for the spot. [David]

  • Fixed highlighting when sorting by Element on desks (bug 1185). [Brad Harder]

  • The Default Field select list in Bulk Edit works again. Thanks to Tom Kjeldsen for uncovering the underlying problem. [David]

  • The throw_error() method in Bric::Util::Burner works properly again. Thank to Paul Orrock for the spot and to Scott for revealing the solution. [David]

  • The Story Type and Media Type options for sorting stories and media, respectively, on desks and on My Workspace, work again. Reported by Brad Harder. [David]

  • The inst/upgrade/1.9.1/xtract_attype2.pl upgrade script now detects whether the database has been converted to use boolean columns and casts values moved from numeric columns accordingly. Reported by Brad Harder. [David]

  • Fields that use the codeselect widget work again. Reported by Michael Glaesemann. [David]

  • Fixed auto-publishing related media and stories so that relateds of relateds now correctly pull out all the items to be published, e.g., media related to story related to published story (bug 1190). [Paul Orrock]

  • Updated inst/upgrade/1.9.0/no_more_numeric.pl so that it properly handles cases where PostgreSQL’s dump does not use parentheses for casts. Reported by George Harrison. [David]

  • Aliases no longer show up in the search results of the New Alias screen, since aliases can’t be aliased. The New Alias screen now also shows the site a document belongs to if there are multiple sites. [Marshall]

  • Fixed the appearance of template diffs. Insertions and deletions now have color and no longer show underlines and strikethroughs (bug 1171). [Marshall]

  • Character counts in Bulk Edit are now properly updated after using Find/Replace. [Marshall]

  • Pulldowns no longer improperly display as 32-items tall in the story/media profiles (bug 1178, reported by Alex Howarth). [Scott and 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]

  • Fixed a warning from bric_republish when run without a password. Thanks to John Gillis for the spot (bug 1188). [Marshall]

  • Fixed the Site dropdown in searches to only require READ permissions rather than EDIT. Spot and quasi-patch by Chris Sutton. [Marshall]

  • New fields now are properly configured with the their multiple attribute copied from the field type. [Alexey Sheynuk]

  • New destinations can now be created via Bric::SOAP::Destination. [Christian Niles]

  • Fields in an element that are based on field types deleted from the element type can now still be edited in Bulk Edit. Thanks to Nate Perry-Thistle for the spot. [David]

  • New users can once again be created when using the LDAP authentication engine. Reported by Christian Niles. [David]

  • 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]

  • Fixed caching issue with reversion of assets to earlier versions. [David]

  • The category SOAP interface now allows the <path> XML element to not have a trailing slash, as was the case in Bricolage 1.8 and earlier. [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]

  • A field deleted from the contributor profile no longer continues to appear in the profile when pressing the Save and Stay button. Reported by Marshall. [David]

  • Eliminated an endless loop in prompting for the PostgreSQL user during installation when the INSTALL_VERBOSITY is set to QUIET. [Rod Taylor]

  • 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]

  • Searching by URI for related media works again. [David]

  • The results when searching for media or stories to relate are no longer tied to the search for stories and media in general. [David]
