Fixed Issues in 11.0.0 Web Client

The following issues are fixed in version 11.0.0 of SDL LiveContent Architect compared to 10.0.0.

Web Client

  • The Repository lower-right pane holding version and language information has reference information to identify which object's version are currently displayed. This should avoid confusing when a user continues navigation in the top-right object lists. Below the lower button bar you'll see a Versions of... line. [TS-8032]
  • List views have been fine-tuned to do top-alignment, and use more word wrapping to allow more information to be readable on a screen. [TS-8606]
  • Packaged SDL LiveContent Create 5.2.0 which essentially fixes the Google Chrome 35 raising the message Cannot read property 'ownerDocument' of undefined. [TS-8300|XO-2514|SRQ-1629]
  • Properties don't select the previously saved EDT value in the drop down, instead the first value is selected. [TS-7955|SRQ-1183]
  • Legacy publish option on version level was broken for maps/topics/libs. [TS-7886|SRQ-1224]
  • Preview of Image/Other binary types where the mime type is not recognized by the browser should result in a download with a proper filename. Depending on the browser brand and version an extra window will remain open holding the message Loading preview... If the format is not supported by your browser a download will be initiated. that requires manual closing afterwards. [TS-8127|TS-8128|SRQ-1379]
  • SDL LiveContent Reach 6.0.5/6.0.7 extensions for mobile support needed alignment within the preview. The isMobile method was added to the SCTServiceWrapper. [TS-8249]
  • The comparison preview based on the ChangeTracker component sorted the available versions by text (e.g. 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 10, 1.1.1, 1) instead of smarter version sorting. Furthermore the same text comparison was used to indicate what the newer and older version was, which reflects itself in which stretches of text were marked as inserted or removed. [TS-8033|TS-8146|TS-8215|TS-8214|TS-8166|SRQ-1529]
  • The comparison preview for none working language objects resulted in a compare between the working and non-working language versions. So for example when English (en) was your working language and you requested a Dutch (nl) compare; you would actually be comparing v2 nl with v1 en. [TS-8253|TS-8252]
  • Navigating preview hyperlinks always opens in the Foundation-cached user language (typically English) instead of the selected topic language like images. As an English user, opening a French topic preview will try to render with French images. But navigating the hyperlinks in this topic will always render the UserLanguage version of the hyperlinked object. It will not respect your initial French language selection.[TS-8125|TS-8126|SRQ-1492]
  • Workflow.asp contains a spelling error. We corrected Library topcs to Library topics. [TS-8164|SRQ-1546]
  • Clicking on a link in the preview that points to an object that does not exists gives 500 Object reference not set. [TS-8136|TS-8130]
  • Hyperlinks to Other types (e.g. Word, PDF, etc) don't work in Internet Explorer 8 preview. [TS-8123|TS-8124|SRQ-1486]
  • Internet Explorer 8 Preview fails with JQuery error when data holds empty cells. The empty cells used to be filled with<td>&nbsp;</td> misleading JQuery. [TS-8042]
  • Requesting an Edit operation from SDL LiveContent Reach should trigger the SDL LiveContent Create editor. In this full scenario the requesting user should have read/write permission on the SDL LiveContent Architect object he is trying to edit. In case write permission was missing, the error message was not propagated by SDL LiveContent Create to the end user. The error message Unable to complete your request, you are not allowed to alter object "GUID-3853B7D5-82DC-47C0-A063-1F971D6E8AF1=1=en=". [c:314570 ce:GUID-0C4E1C39-6DEB-4068-8CB7-80FAB1E35251 ct:CTMAPL][-102009] will now be visible for the user.
  • Requesting a Preview on an object which cannot be natively rendered in a browser (e.g. CHM file) will result in a Download operation. If you then use your browser functionality to directly Open the just downloaded file could fail because of file name encoding (typically a space becomes %20). [TS-8204]
  • SDL LiveContent Create endpoints for Save and CheckIn do not respect whitespace properly. So an Edit operation in the web xml editor could cause intentional whitespace to disappear. [TS-8337|TS-8283|XO-2523]
  • SDL LiveContent Create can now be configured with a Tags On View layout. It is possible to add a tagsonviewxsl configuration parameter in the web.config. [TS-8218|TS-8217|SRQ-1214]
  • Preview styling was adapted to align with the other components. [TS-7279]
  • Restructured the search panels to use the better matching UI controls. [TS-7348]
  • The browser cookie InfoShare is not refreshed when you are forced to re-login on InfoShareSTS. After 7 days you'll get the message Error: 401 ErrorLoadingRoles, blocking the application. [TS-6809]
  • Added a single point of configuration for the Enrich Server Uri in the Settings page (field FISHENRICHURI). [TS-7268]
  • In an Assist window, the selected values are always sorted and cannot be reordered for fields where order matters. [TS-7280|TS-7266]
  • A user with too many user groups (e.g. 160) cannot login as the cookie size makes Microsoft Internet Explorer loop indefinitely. The user groups are no longer cached in the cookie. [TS-6915|TS-6498]
  • Event Log no longer has scrolling column headers and buttons. Out of the box the EventId column was added and EventType was removed. Furthermore the Refresh option on the details will automatically scroll you down to the bottom of the list again. [TS-6592|TS-6119]
  • Event Log visually shows the active filter like Show Recent. [TS-7434]
  • Search Results should have a select all checkbox like the inbox so that you can export the search results of one page. [TS-6869]
  • Ability to delete multiple objects from the inbox and result list. Do note that all rules for a single object delete have to be met. [TS-6741]
  • Translation job management always shows progress in green. When a job fails or has warning, matching color codes will be used. [TS-7356|TS-7314]
  • Reports using options Referenced topics and images overview is now also available for Library topics. [TS-7462|TS-7536]
  • By a MetadataConfig.xml configuration change we now allow editing of the FISHUSERDISPLAYNAME in the user properties dialog. By default this field was matched with the USERNAME field but could not be edited afterwards. It is the FISHUSERDISPLAYNAME which is used in the web client welcome screen when using InfoShareSTS or an external STS like Microsoft ADFSv2. [TS-7556|TS-7528]
  • Adding a user in the Settings area will no longer auto-fill the user name field. [TS-7379|TS-7399]
  • Remember me reminds the user on the InfoShareSTS with a cookie. So even if you close the browser and come back (within 12 hours by default), the InfoShareSTS will remember you. This is considered an annoying feature for advanced users that log out to re-login with different credentials as we cannot provide a multi application log-out button. To avoid confusion, we chose to remove the option. [TS-6524]
  • The username of the InfoShareSTS log in screen will now be trimmed. Note that any user names with leading or trailing spaces need to be corrected by an administrator to avoid confusion. [TS-6343]
  • Added a Copy Link to Clipboard capability to get to the logical ids of publication object types. [TS-6742|TS-6681]
  • Web Client and Client Tools are now aligned to both request for 5000 search results, to reduce differences in search results presented by SolrLucene. [TS-7690|TS-7692]
  • Bread crumbs does not get updated when doing a "Go to location". [TS-7662|TS-7650]
  • Google Chrome opens a new tab when selecting Start import. Google Chrome no longer has this issue starting from v33 but we applied a workaround for the older versions of the browser. [TS-7570|TS-7576]
  • In Mozilla Firefox you cannot open the context editor for a publication version or map. It opens in a new tab and not in a new window. After the context is saved the value is not set because the selected context is not passed to the properties window. [TS-7277|TS-7212]
  • On Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) the date picker in the Search tab immediately hides after it was opened. [TS-6323]
  • When expanding node in repository tree view the focus is set to the top. [TS-6631]
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 downloads SVG and SWF files even when the right plug-ins are installed. [TS-7539|TS-7436]
  • List of statuses becomes empty if new status with quotation mark was added. The application will now block the creation of statuses and inboxes with a single quote. [TS-7538|TS-7439|TS-7448]
  • Thumbnails view not working if selected folder contains a '.' (dot) in it's name. The Thumbnail view is now sorted by logical title. [TS-7075|TS-4885]
  • In a publication report, it is currently not possible to compare all branches and versions. You can only compare within your branch. You need to be able to see what changes have been made to the branch as compared to the version from which the branch was made, or to any other branch. We now allow comparison with lower versions and branches. We chose to not allow all combinations as that can be very confusing as you would see a lot of removed contents instead of added contents. [TS-6812]
  • When previewing revisions in the web client, the drop down at the top potentially has extra revisions as it shows the status transition revisions (without blob change) as well. [TS-6195]
  • Availability of a /comments/debug page to allow debugging of the commenting integration. [TS-7406]
  • Packaged the files PreviewExternal.asp, PreviewExternalTest.asp and PreviewExternalTest.xml to allow easier setup of an external preview virtual directory. See SRQ-758. [TS-7365]
  • Various refresh scenarios were tweaked, like folder list views. [TS-7652]
  • Various preview layout issues like selection of rendered inline/block elements. [TS-7633|TS-7631]
  • Various visibility improvements like list views showing long titles or changes information. [TS-6680]
  • Web Clients and Client Tools configuration should both no longer show FPUBWATERMARK as this is not a system field and there is no behavior attached to this value. [TS-6868]
  • The Web Client's top tab row didn't load properly since the update to Chrome 30.0.1599.101 m. [TS-7143]
  • Can't delete shortcut to an object when there is a # character in the name of the folder. [TS-6283]
  • After deletion of an object with a # character in the folder name, you saw %23 instead of # in the deleting objects pop-up. [TS-6390]
  • Clicking from one JQuery calendar control to another, in for example Search tab, causes Internet Explorer to hang (100% CPU usage of iexplore.exe) because of too many resize events. [TS-6296]
  • Checkbox include watermark (FPUBWATERMARK) should be removed in the web client; it was removed in the client tools in a previous release since watermark requires customer specific integration. This change makes the client and web consistent. [TS-6272]
  • Cannot assign the Owner field to a Shortcut folder in the web client. [TS-6271]
  • BatchImport didn't show any error messages anymore when hovering over an error image. The mouse over event now shows the error message again. [TS-6535]
  • Filling in a 'wrong' or 'misspelled' user in the BatchImport screen resulted in a generic error Unexpected failure: Overflow, instead of the actual wrong value. [TS-6794]
  • When publishing, the title bar of the of publish (pop-up) window says cancelling a publication. [TS-6815]
  • Preview in ShowHistory fails for illustrations. [TS-5444]
  • Translation Management Dialog; Mandatory Fields message shows field name instead of field label. [TS-3012]
  • Web client Search > Object Fragments option has been removed. Use the xml-aware full text search instead, which provides a faster, better paged result set.

Preview

  • Printing a topic from the preview failed to print the complete topic if the preview contains scrollbars in Internet Explorer, Chrome, FireFox and Publication Manager. The print from the Publication Manager only printed a portion of the preview. We will have the Client Tools preview working with one limitation/known issue however. The Print Dialog to select a printer will be skipped (print.always_print_silent to true) and you will immediately print to your Operating System's default printer. The green suggestion is to have a PDF printer set as your default printer. Later on you can still print what you want from the generated PDF. In the next major release we will re-introduce the Print Dialog again (print.always_print_silent to false) as we will upgrade the third-party Gecko component. [TS-7082]
  • Conditions on a table column are shifted to the right. [TS-7219]
  • When doing a ChangeTracker Compare preview with a lower version in the web client, the markup for inserts/deletes is reversed. [TS-6245]
  • When previewing reltables that have an empty relcell element, the cells shifted to the left. [TS-6248]
  • The broken image icon was no longer rendered in Client Tools. The previous renderer was Internet Explorer based which does show broken image icons by default. The new renderer is GeckoFX based (same as FireFox) which by default doesn't show broken image icons. [TS-6280]
  • Table shows empty column for selection when it is not possible to select a bookmark, conref, and so on. If there is a table in a topic, a column is added to each row in the preview. This column is used for selecting a row to use as a bookmark/conref/... This column should not be showed when it is a regular preview without selection possibilities. [TS-6284]
  • A topic with invalid conref/conrefend attribute blocks preview. In Publication Manager the error message Begin and end id require to be in the same document when a bookmark is given occurs in when in the Browse repository window. When adding a map file to the existing publication, the error message The version cannot be selected. Begin and end id require to be in the same document when a bookmark is given occurs. [TS-6766]
  • Doing a compare on a large topic with many images freezes Chrome. [TS-6464]

External Preview

  • The external preview is an end point that allows external systems - typically translation management systems - to submit their processed version of an xml file for previewing. The end point will take care of doing basic xml handling (@class attributes) and render the referenced images.
  • This new refactored version complies with our Single Sign On (SSO) technology stack and no longer requires a separate web site. It consists out of an IIS HttpModule called ExternalPreviewModule which is not enabled out of the box. The necessary web.config configuration entries specify the user profile to use. Any request to this end point will make use of the specified profile, even when that user was already authenticated. [TS-2455]
