Sophora 2.0 has arrived! The new Sophora update presents many optimizations for editors, administration and development. Release 2.0 Editorial Department Search Agents: See New Documents at a Glance Find among millions of documents the most recent ones on specific topics at any time. While editing a topic, you can use Sophora’s integrated search in order to look for available documents with the same topic. Without using Search Agents editors need to execute the search manually and continuously again to find new matching documents. Search Agent found a remedy for this: Search Agents periodically carry out searches at regular intervals in the background. The latest search result can be created as a Search Agent and in the following they can be grouped into folder. Documents found within the search results appear automatically and are shown as unread as long as these documents have not been opened before. Therefore Search Agents make the handling of the variety of documents easier and give a perfect overview of already read and unread documents. Search Agents can be edited individually: It is possible to remove documents from the Search Agents by adding these ones to a “blacklist”. Also editors can mark documents as read or unread at any time. More. Extended Search in All Document’s Text Fields Sophora’s search within a document is becoming even better in 2.0. Now you are able to search for terms and replace them in all text fields of a document – regardless on which tab the field is located. Before this process was only possible within the copy text. The search will be activated by a shortcut key and the search results are listed in an external view as well as accentuated in single fields. Separate and complete search results can be replaced fast and easily. Reusable Text Tables Now editors have free creative leeway when creating text tables. Henceforth tables of the copy text can be maintained not only in the copy text, but also in separate documents and subsequently they can be pasted into articles and other contents. Responsible for the enhancement is a new field type for tables. Configurable Limitation of Image Sizes We have carried out a limitation when uploading extremely large images files that require Sophora’s data volume unnecessarily. In order to avoid the unintentional uploading of large image files by editors, the administration is able to set a maximum file size for single image variants. If you try to upload an image on larger size, validation errors will occur in order to prevent the saving of the image. By choosing “scale automatically” for a single image variant, the resulting scaled file size will be validated instead. Note: For reasons of backwards compatibility, already existing image files are not taken into consideration. Configurable Limitation of Binary Data Fields We set limitations of the data volume for binary data fields as well. The administration can determine a maximum size as it was described by the limitation of images sizes. Validation errors occur, if editors try to upload data size on larger scale as it was determined by the administration before. Merge Feature: Combining Contents Now you can merge existing contents with new ones in a simple way. In order to prevent the loss of valuable editorial content during the documents’ reimport, you can control the assumption of various contents with Sophora’s new merge function. The editorial department determine which contents and component groups are to be transferred into the target document. Thus, single contents can be transferred target oriented without an overwriting of the entire document. Further Sophora’s new merge feature ensures that reimports of already existing documents do not automatically causes an overwriting of the entire content. A new icon within the document’s editor indicates the documents containing merge information. By clicking on the icon a dialogue with all available merge functions will be opened. More. Links for Help Create now a tailor-made documentation for your editorial department. Apart from the already existing Sophora documentation you can write your own documentation and link this one to Sophora. In order to fall back fast and easily on editorial hints and content requirements, Sophora offers the opportunity to connect both. Per document type a certain for the editorial documentation designated URL can be stored. By using the new icon for assistance in the document editor the stored URL will be opened in an external browser window. Administration Dashboard 2.0 Dashboard 2.0 presents a number of optimizations as well as new functions. In an overview various server and tools (for instance the Importer) are depicted by Sophora’s add-on. The dashboard deals with the following values: Heap, Load, Solr, Cache-Queue, Tomcat-Heap, Tomcat-Threads. Further graphs can be added per checkbox at any time. For further information, additional details are given per click on the respective tile. Besides the new optimized Dashboard 2.0 contains a server cross-working document comparison, in which detailed information of Sophora documents are contained and comparable with each other. Configuration: “Maximum Number of Individual Documents’ Versions” Now a maximum number of individual documents’ versions stored in the archive repository can be limited. Automatically performed imports of constantly updated documents’ content, for instance weather data or stock market information, create thousands of versions in Sophora. In order to avoid that the handling of documents will be slowed down, e.g. if more than 50,000 versions exist, it is possible to determine how many versions are allowed to exist in the master repository. The benefit of this new function is the opportunity to set the limitation for each single document individually. Validation of Select Values Previously it was possible that invalid values for select value fields get into the repository without displaying validation errors for these ones. The select value fields remained empty in the past, even though values have been entered. Owing to the validation at client level, it is possible to keep invalid select values away from the repository. Neither in Sophora’s DeskClient nor via the Importer, invalid values can get into the repository now. Increased Security Requirements for Sophora User Registration Automatically Blocked Account while Inactivity Rising security requirements and an increasing number of new registered users in Sophora lead our clients to optimized security standards. Now Sophora guarantees more security for the login process. Accounts of users who haven’t logged in for a long period of time can be blocked automatically. Excluded from this regulation are accounts of administrators or those which are set to “account never expires”. In case of a blocked account users are receiving a notice while registering. In the administration area administrators have the opportunity to re-establish the accounts’ activity for users. Commitment to Change the Password For the completion of security standards an automatic request to change the password appears when log into Sophora. Users receive the request at regular intervals in order to change their password. The new password remains valid until the period of time, determined in advance, is expired. “Password Lost” Benefit from a fast and straightforward “Password Lost”. If users forget their password to log into Sophora, they have the opportunity to backout their password easily. By clicking on “Forgot password” a code by the server is sent via email to the user (unless deposited). In the following the user will be asked to enter the code and to define a new password. The received code loses its validity after a 15-minute period. Development Developer Toolbar Sophora generated web sites note a huge amount of traffic that require a high degree of optimization for templates: We support developers in building templates by analyzing and improving their work, for instance on important aspects such as caching and performance. We certainly support you in a comfortable way, results are shown directly in the preview (not on any console). The fast access to various templates is occurred with the new Developer Toolbar. Eclipse e4 By upgrading the underlying platform of Eclipse 3.8 to Eclipse 4.4 we have ensured a robust and future-compliant basis for Sophora’s DeskClient. In the near future we will make intensified use of the new Eclipse RCP concepts and features (Dependency Injection, CSS for widgets , etc.). Optimizations for Sophora’s Delivery API Attention, now it becomes technically! The toString()-method of Sophora-ContentMap provides the JSON representation of a document. Therefore an easier visualization of the documents’ structure will be enabled. Parameters can be validated by the new tag filterParameter and also provided with a default value. By using the tag disableCacheRegistration you have the possibility to deactivate the caching for the current request within templates. The tag registerFullDependency is able to create a completely cache dependence on a document. The minor dependence on property level is avoided consequently. In NodeFunctions, PropertyFunctions as well as ChildnodeCollectionFunctions it is possible to pass the ContentMap of the current document as a parameter. Therefore an easier access to the Sophora-ContentMap in the Java model layer is enabled. Sophora’s ContentMap has been extended in order to optimize the handling of it within the model layer. The optimization includes methods to get access to a specific typed property value. A typed access to ChildNodes and Functions spares the previously essential Casts and prevents the ClassCast-Exceptions at run time. Cache Database and Data Yellow Now the invalidation of subordinated cache fragments accesses to changes to YellowData as well. Background information: Access to YellowData is now registered in the cache database. Event-based Flushing of Search Results Cache fragments of filter documents that are automatically composed of various teaser of search results, had to be invalidated cyclically before. The regularly conducted invalidation caused a constant strain on deliveries and induced the teaser lists of filter documents to be updated only with delay. By using the event-based flushing of cache fragments we have achieved a successful resolution. More.
