The Rails Connector is a new product in our software portfolio. The connector makes it possible to develop Ruby on Rails web applications that use the data stored in the CMS database. The Rails Connector is available as a plugin for Rails applications and is delivered including sample layouts and helper code for creating navigations, download links and other useful page components.
CMS Fiona now supports MySQL databases. The configuration file
for an already existing Fiona MySQL database, mysql.xml
, can be
found in the config
directory of the instance concerned.
If the Rails Connector is used for the export and the preview, the CMS now supports the
Markdown syntax.
For this, the new markdown
field type
is introduced. Markdown is a simplified notation for links
and the most important HTML markups such as bold or italics. For editing
Markdown content, a wizard, the markdownEditor
, is supplied.
From version 6.6.0, wizards can be opened in a dialog window that has the size of the main window.
Furthermore, the header and footer areas can be suppressed.
For accessing files using wizards, the required file permissions can now be configured. This makes error handling in the wizards much easier.
For the preview you can now configure that the user's read permission for
the corresponding file (in addition to the live read permission) is taken
into account. This prevents editors from previewing files for which read
permission has not been granted in the CMS. This setting can be configured in the
<bean id="pmPermissionFilter">
element in the
pm-filter.xml
file of the GUI web application.
As opposed to the CMS, ADS servers ignore upper and lower case in user names. This causes different user settings to be used for the same user if the user name is written differently. To prevent this, the user name can be automatically converted to lower case, for example, as the user authenticates herself.
The Java Portlet Specification (JSR168) defines optional caching of portlet contents analogously to WSRP. From this version (6.6.0), the Portal Manager supports this as well.
