[opencms-dev] Some problems with Version 5, Release Candidate 1

[Christopher J Cahill]

I have recently installed Version 5, Release Candidate 1, having used
Version 4.6.1 for a short time.

I have found two problems that I am not sure whether they are bugs or not.

Firstly when I opened the code editor, the edit box completely filled the
window. The close and save icons were not visible.  This meant that the
only thing I could do was to close the browser window which of course exits
OpenCms altogether.  This problem did not occur in Version 4.6.1.  I was
able to fix the problem by editing the file '
opencms/WEB-INF/ocsetup/vfs/system/workplace/templates/edit_text_main',
(after expanding the zip file and before running the ocsetup wiazrd) as
follows:

Towards the end of the file, edit the javascript code to set  windowHeight
to  40%  instead of  50%  as follows (change in bold):

        if(!ie)getDimensions();
        else windowHeight="40%";

With this change and running ocsetup again, the code editor appears with
the close and save icons.


The second problem relates to making changes to a template.  I don't know
if this is the way it was in 4.6.1.

I made a change to a contenttemplate file and published this file directly.
The change was NOT reflected in a page that used this template until I
opened and saved the master template that used the contenttemplate that I
changed originally.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who can provide any information on
either of these problems.
