3.1.10

BlueSpice 3.1.10 is a patch release. This is a stable release.

• Mailto links in PDF export do not work (#18629)

Exporting a mailto link to PDF showed the link, but due to the rendering service and/or PDF clients, the link was not clickable. To mitigate this, mail addresses are now written in the PDF.

• Namespaces with dashes in name cannot be edited (#19283)

Editing namespaces that have a dash (-) in the name failed unexpectedly. Editing existing namespaces is now possible, while creating new namespaces with dashes in names is still not possible using the Namespace Manager.

• Farm: Deleting an instance does not remove the indices from the ElasticSearch backend (#19405)

In a WikiFarm, deleting the instance would not deleting related indices from the Elasticsearch. This would lead to clutter in the Elasticsearch. This is now fixed, all related indices will be deleted when instance is deleted.

• Not approved versions of files are visible to non-permitted users (#19529)

If the File namespace was under an "Approval" process, the latest versions of files, even if not approved, were visible to everyone (the version of the actual file page was displayed correctly). Now, the correct file version is shown.

The page status information about the last edit was grammatically incorrect in German. This is now fixed.

• Only users with editor role are able to vote in a review (#20624)

• VisualEditor does not work in text fields on new Form instances (#20646)

When using VisualEditor field in a PageForms form, it ony loaded in existing, but not new, forms. This is now fixed.

WikiPage social entities showed raw JSON content in the their "content" field. This is now fixed.

• Links in Social entity headlines are self-references (#20651)

Links in headlines of Social entities had a self-reference, causing a "jump to the top" issue. Now, every entity correctly links to the corresponding entity page.

• Fix position gathering from jumpable elements in smaller sub divs (#20666)

Jumping to the right position was sometimes impossible, if the jump target was a smaller, nested div. The jumping behavior has been improved.

Certain grids, in certain sorting conditions, provided wrong results. This is now fixed.

• VisualEditor does not escape "|" (pipe) in Formedit (#20083)

If content in a VisualEditor field in a PageForms form contained a pipe (|) character, it wasn't escaped and therefore broke the resulting template call. This is now fixed.

• Pages are not automatically set to be "read" for the last editor (#20110)

Users who edited a page still got a prompt for read confirmation. Now, editors don't get the prompt.

• Improved search for files in "Insert media" dialog of VisualEditor (#20155)

The search in the "Insert Media" dialog of VisualEditor sometimes missed pages. The search is now improved.

• Temporary groups for Auto review remain attached to the user (#20165)

The review process added users to a temporary group to perform certain operations and group was not removed after the process ended. Now, we use a different mechanism and temporary groups are no longer assigned.

• Not only owner of the review can edit the review, even if the appropriate option is set (#20168)

The configuration option "Only the owner of a review can change it" did not work. Now, this setting is working as intended.

Anonymous users could not see the expiration status of a page. This is now fixed.

• Restrict viewing recent changes based on user permissions (#20203)

Recent changes were visible to users without permissions to view a page. Now, permissions are evaluated.

• Wrong information displayed for page expiry status (#20204)
• Some files are not indexed by the search (#20216)

For some external or local files indexing to the search failed, caused by the content or size of the file. Now, if the content cannot be indexed, the file will be indexed without content.

On some screen resolutions, the Template data dialog was hidden behind the navbar. This is now fixed.

• Improved PDF export with linked pages (#20309)

• Table inspector blocks the cell you're editing (#20326)

The table inspect popup of Visual Editor blocked the last couple of rows for long tables at the end of the page, making editing cells in those rows impossible. This is now fixed.

• Some PageHeader elements were shown on ContentModel types that are not supported (#20381)

Some PageHeader elements were shown on unsupported ContentModel types, causing errors. Now, the ContentModel type is evaluated and only supported elements are diplayed.

• Encoded characters shown in the "section matches" of SearchCenter (#20461)

BlueSpice 3.1.8 is a patch release. This is a stable release.

• Permission to assign pages hinders edit permission lockdown (#17157)

When the role 'editor' was locked down for a certain group, users in that group could still assign themselves to a page and re-gain the edit permission that way. Now, only user groups with the 'reviewer' role can assign users to pages.

Notifications for changed group assignments did not work as expected. Now,  the correct notifications are sent when a  user's permissions (group assignments) are changed.

Items in the "Global actions" menu were shown even if a user did not have the rights to access certain special pages. Now, only the items for which a user has permissions are listed in the menu.

• Links to unread changes in user's watchlist are not working (#18445)

The links to view unread changes on a page in a user's watchlist led to an "Undefined" page. Now, the links load the correct page.

• Property "QM/Document state" shows "in revision", but the page is accepted (#18532)

The value of "QM/Document state" sometimes showed incorrect information. Now, pages in "first draft" are properly reflected in the property.

Some issues with BlueSpiceSocialTimelineUpdate have been fixed.

• Categories not visible in the flyout if sort key is set (#19760)

If a category link on a page contains the sort key  (e.g., 1), this category was not recognized by the mecahnisms that list the categories on top of the page and in the Page Information flyout. This is now fixed.

• Export subpages not working with images (#19813)

When exporting subpages (PDF recursive export), the PDF export was breaking if those pages contained images. This is now fixed.

• Result format "bsgrid" only sorts and filters on visible page (#19847)

The Semantic result format "bsgrid" sorted and filtered only results of the current page. Now, the sorting/filtering is done on the entire data set.

• Remove href form CustomMenu item if there is a sub-menu (#19874)

If a CustomMenu item had subitems, clicking on the main item opened the actual page instead of the sub-menu. This is now fixed.

• VisualEditor breaks on malformed style-attribute values (#19969)

If wikitext contained invalid style tags, those would break VisualEditor. This is now fixed.

• Undescores and spaces in namespace names in search are interchangeable (#20025)

• Hide left navigation by default in mobile view (#18765)

In mobile view, the left navigation was displayed by default, which is confusing for public wikis that do not require the user to log in to see the content. Now the navigation is hidden by default, displaying the content right away.

• User preference setting for always displaying the latest version of the page breaks the status info on page (#18812)

If the user, in user preferences, sets as preference to always show drafts when available, the age information on the page in some cases showed wrong data. This is now fixed.

• Search for files in VisualEditor's link to file dialog fails if namespace is specified (#19333)

In VisualEditor, when user tried to insert a link to a file, the search only worked if the filename without the namespace prefix was typed. Now, the search recognizes both prefixed and non-prefixed search inputs.

Adding pages with umlauts in the name to a book caused problems (pages were not found). This is now fixed.

• User will get notified whan a new page is created even if only "Actions on watched pages" is checked (#18122)

Path to the PhantomJS service executable was wrong for Linux setups. This is now fixed.

• Social entities are shown on Special:RecentChanges and Special:Watchlist (#18457)

• Talk pages can be created for non existing subject pages, but lead to fatal errors (#17209)

If a page did not exist, a talk-page tag could still be added, which lead to several errors and inconsistencies. This is now prevented.

In certain authenticated environments, the auto-generated avatars were not loading. This is fixed.

Expiry form fields and action buttons are displayed to users even when the modifications cannot be saved to the server. Now, the UI reflects permissions properly.

Changelog

• FlaggedRevsConnector: align colors for highlighting draft in version history (#5683)

FlaggedRevs used various colors to highlight draft revisions in the version history. This is now aligned to the BlueSpice color scheme.

• Fix links to documentation (#13552)

Some extensions in "Special:Version" pointed to outdated documentation. The links are now fixed.

• Privacy: Change avatar after anonymisation (#14216)

Avatar was not recreated after anonymisation and two parameters ($4 and $5) were not resolved in the anonymisation log. This is now working.

• SocialEntities show up in watched pages (#14681)

In the watched pages list and in SmartList, SocialEntity entries were listed. Now they are excluded, since all items must contain wikitext.

• Indexing huge PDFs fails (#15725)

In some cases, long documents were not indexed at all due to length limits. There is now a fallback: in this case, only the filename is indexed.

• Ping request should start immediately on page-load (#16467)

Long ping intervals caused delays and a "Someone is editing the page" message. Now the ping starts directly after page load which allows for more granularity of ping intervals and reduced load on the server.

• Namespace select box in Special:CategoryTree is overlapped by header (#16534)

On the page "Special:CategoryTree", some namespaces could not be selected. Now, the selection box correctly overlaps the header.

• Privacy policy links should link to project namespace (#16594)

Links from Privacy Center to privacy policy pages pointed to a non-standard page. Now, the default link points to the standard privacy policy page of the wiki.

• VisualEditor table inspector UI is broken in BlueSpice free (#16612)

The table inspector only showed icons, but no text and the icons were misaligned. The proper UI is now restored.

• AND OR operators must work in search term (#16613)

The keywords AND and OR were not evaluated in SearchCenter. This is now possible.

• Wrong link for "Add attachment" (#16629)

The link to the attachment page of an article was broken. It now works again.

• Table formatting is lost on change between edit modes (#16639)

Table color formatting was lost when switching between Visual and WikiText mode. Now, the color formatting is preserved.

• HideTitle should also hide FlaggedRevs information (#16738)

When using HideTitle on a page, the page revision status notification was still visible. Now, the entire title section gets disabled.

• Use SSL link to bluespice.com in code documentation (#16789)

Many URLs in the code documentation of the source code pointed to "http:" instead of "https:", but user interface links were already set to "https:". Now, a secure connection is suggested everywhere.

• Subitems in header menu are displayed all the time (#16808)

The second-level items of the header menu were expanded and could not be collapsed under certain circumstances. They are now collapsed and always collapsible.

• ExtendedStatistics special pages ignores permission statistic-viewspecialpage (#16951)

Statistics could be viewed by anyone with read rights. Now, the page requires a special right, which per default is assigned to the admin role.

• Add attachments button out of line (#16993)

In some cases, the "Add attachment" button was vertically misaligned. This is now fixed.

• Remove dependency to PHP Tidy extension (#16997)

The PHP extension 'tidy' is no longer maintained or bundled in some distributions (e.g., SLES). The dependency on that extension was removed and replaced by an onboard MediaWiki solution.

• Smartlist fatal error in mode whatlinkshere when no target given (#17008)

The smartlist tag was throwing an error when the attribute "target" was not set. Now, the attribute can be omitted safely.

• Privacy: fix gender in anonymisation log (#17015)

The log message of an anonymized user was always male gendered. The log message is now gender neutral.

• Attachments can not be searched when there are external locations (#17031)

Search indexing stopped overall when an external location could not be reached. Now, it just ignores that particular location.

• Update repo file on WebDAV update (#17069)

Repo files are now re-indexed when they are updated via WebDAV

• Add article button is displayed in mobile view when left sidebar is open (#17077)

The button had a wrong z-index, placing it above the menu. The z-index was fixed and now the button works correctly.
