Known issues in Content Manager Explorer
The following list describes issues that are known to exist in Content Manager Explorer.
- In the GUI, the Component Presentation tab has been replaced with a new Design tab
-
As of SDL Tridion Sites 9, Pages support Regions, which in turn can contain other Regions or Component Presentations. This change results in a change to the Page dialog in Content Manager Explorer: instead of the old Component Presentations tab, showing a table of Components with their associated Component Templates, the Page dialog now has a Design tab showing a tree view of Regions and Component Presentations.
This means that any GUI extensions you may have built for the Component Presentations tab, such as a custom column in can no longer appear in Content Manager Explorer, because that tab no longer exists. The new Design tab is not extensible in SDL Tridion Sites 9.
- Chrome and Safari do not show sizing handles for tables and images in a Format Area
-
In Chrome and Safari for the Mac, selecting an image or table in a Format Area does not make sizing handles appear on the item's edges. As a result, users cannot resize images or tables in this way. To work around this problem, users must either use a different supported browser, or set the width and height of the table or image as numbers.
- In Firefox, user cannot select a table by selecting its border
-
In Firefox, users need to use the Current Elements dropdown to select a table in a Format Area. Selecting the border does not work.
- Percentage of Components or Pages with comments or ratings is always 0
-
For User-Generated Content, the percentage of Components or Pages for which comments or ratings were submitted always remains at 0%, no matter how many items have actually received comments or ratings.
- Editing a very large PNG image can cause it to become impossible to save
-
If you use Image Editor to edit an image in PNG format, its file size can increase by a factor 3. The edited file can then become impossible to save back to Content Manager, because its new size exceeds the maximum allowed upload size (as configured in %TRIDION_HOME%\Web\Web.config. If this happens, you see an error message: "Error saving edited image."
To work around this issue, either ensure that the configured maximum upload size is at least 3 times the size of your largest PNG file, or use images in a different file format (like JPEG) instead.
