  • Aliases: Dynamic site URL-s (eg sitename.com/?id=123) are now redirected to their human-friendly form (eg sitename.com/news) by default.
  • This setting can be turned off from Admin > System > Configuration > Aliases section.
  • Aliases: All site-wide hyperlinks in dynamic format (sitename.com/?id=123) will be replaced by corresponding aliases (sitename.com/news) during page display.

  • You can turn it on from Admin > System > Configuration > Aliases section.
  • Aliases: If aliases are configured to contain site/language name (eg site.com/en/news), the site root (site.com) displays the default site/language instead of currently selected site/language.

To accomplish this, use the new parameter "sites" in the "init_search_results" API tag which is a comma separated list of site/language extensions from where to display search results. Use "all" for all sites. By default only the active site is searched.
  • Saurus API: The tag "init_language" is now deprecated and replaced by more dynamic "init_sites".

  • Sites are independent websites within one CMS installation which can be for example represent different language versions of one logical website.
  • Each Site is tied to one Glossary which defines the translations used for public visitors. For CMS default user interface, you do not need to create a site any more - just set the default in list of Glossaries.

  • Galleries: The album editor has been completely rewritten. You can now create albums without using File manager at all - just choose "New album" and mass-upload images. These images are later also accessible via File manager as new subfolder with the album name is created in the background. Alternatively, you can choose existing folder of images when creating an album as before. We also added human friendly URL to albums.
  • Editor: The v-shaped context menus have now a slight delay before opening.
  • Aliases: All Saurus API tags now add slash (/) at the end of alias so instead of www.site.com/news your site URLs will now be in format www.site.com/news/. The old URLs without slashes still work as well.

New in Saurus CMS 4.5.1 (May 9, 2008)

  • Article editor: we made things simpler for first time users by hiding most of the advanced stuff in text editing toolbar. So when you first open up any article you will face a toolbar with fewer tools and an option to switch to full view.
  • Aliases: the format of human-friendly URL-s can now be configured. You can choose to use just alias like /great-news or display full trail from site structure eg /company/press-releases/great-news. In addition, you can define whether the language identifier is used eg /en/great-news, not used or used for all site languages which are not default. Check the Aliases section under Admin > System > Configuration for these new options. For this to work properly be sure to update the Apache Rewrite engine rules according to instructions given our support site.
  • Saurus API: until now the ->href attribute of objects returned by init_section, init_trail or init_object output alias string when this module was switched on. We now added init_article, init_album and init_language to act in same way.
  • MySQL: you can add into the config.php variable "mysql_set_names" with a MySQL character encoding value. This is useful when your database is in UTF-8 but the connection encoding is something else. When this variable is set the CMS performs SET NAMES = value command after connecting to the database, ex: SET NAMES = utf8.
  • When PHP directive "short_open_tag" is off then adding picture into an article resulted JavaScript error.
  • Using long aliases prevents posting comments and feedback forms.
  • Custom admin pages in an extension did not show login dialog when user was not logged in.

  • Save_profile tag did not save new users.
  • The "XML data mapping" popup had several issues with selecting parent section.
  • Minor bugfixes.

New in Saurus CMS 4.5.0 (Apr 5, 2008)

  • Editor Toolbar: we now introduce Saurus CMS toolbar which appears above the site contents and is visible for any logged in content editor. The toolbar is visible both in editing and public view mode and contains our selection of most usable tools previously known from Admin toolbar. You can configure the visible tools by changing admin_osa.show_in_editor flag in CMS database.
  • Article Editor: FCK Editor, the component we use for rich text editing, has been updated to last stable version 2.5. This brings tons of bugfixes including greater compatibility between different browsers. For example, inserting new line now behaves same way in Firefox and Internet Explorer by inserting paragraph () for Enter and new line () for Shift-Enter key.
  • Article Editor and Section Editor: mixed approaches like popup windows and drop-down lists have been replaced by Site Explorer in parent object selections.
  • File Manager: includes new thumbnail view.
  • Content templates: the gallery template which in "Saurus 4" extension now opens full-sized images using Lightbox method instead of popup windows. [#2654]
  • Content templates: CAPTCHA which was previously available as separate free extension, is now included into "Saurus 4" extension. To turn on CAPTCHA protection in article comments and forum postings, change the value "Use CAPTCHA verification for comments and forums" in Admin > System > Configuration.
  • Admin toolbar: now resorted by moving daily tools left-top and system settings right-down.
  • Site title and slogan: these are new values in Properties > Site properties page to allow end-users more easily customize design templates. The default page template which ships with installation in "Saurus 4" extension has been updated to use these values. These values are site language specific. In API, use appropriate {$site_name} and {$site_slogan} tags.
  • Page-end HTML: this is another new value in Properties > Site properties page and is primarily meant for entering Google Analytics JavaScript code. Whatever entered here, will be placed before tag in page output. This value is site language specific. There is no need to use API, instead it is inserted to page output by CMS automatically.
  • Time zone: scroll down in Properties > Site properties, there's now a time zone selector which can be handy if your site logical time zone differs from server time. This value is global for all site languages.
  • Site design: this new page in Admin > Properties allows user to switch site default page and content templates with a single click. For your extension to be listed here, add 'is_default' flag to page template description in extension.config.php. Optionally, you can add same 'is_default' flag to one of the content templates and it would be nice to add template thumbnail and preview images by using 'preview', 'preview_thumb' too. See "Saurus 4" extension.config.php contents for sample.
  • Extension upload: yes, extensions can now be uploaded in both Properties > Site designs and Extensions > Extensions pages after which sync is automatically executed. All you need is pack your extension using ZIP. You can include extension folder or compress just files on root, both approaches work fine.
  • Extension download: you can download them from Extensions > Extensions as ZIP package if the author has enabled downloading option 'is_downloadable' in extension.config.php file. See "Saurus 4" for example.
  • System configuration: this page has been heavily resorted and organized, also some values previously known from Properties > Site properties page has been moved here.
  • Estonian language selector: for historical reasons, we have been using 'ee' as site language change parameter instead of 'et' which would be correct by international standards. Now the product treats them as being same, also we will ship all future full install packages with 'et' as default value.
  • Asset editor: now includes 'New' button to allow you create new object without closing the window.
  • Aliases: heavily redesigned. Now following URL schemes will work:
  • - sitename.com/en/ - Displays English homepage. If there is a different domain specified for English language, redirect to domain root will occur.
  • - sitename.com/section/section/object - Displays object if all given sections exist in object's parent tree.
  • - sitename.com/object - As previously, this still works.
  • So the URL can be made of site.domain/[subdirectory]/[language selector]/[[section alias]/../[section alias]]/object-alias.
  • Alias values can not contain slash (/). In current version, the CMS still outputs aliases using simplest pattern sitename.com/object, but this will become configurable in near future versions.
  • Site performance: turning on Gzip option now compresses styles.php in addition to index.php. [#2648]
  • API: {$title} tag now has alias {$meta_title}
  • API: new tag {$template} which can be used to get info about current page- or content template:
  • - {$template->id}
  • - {$template->title}, {$template->name}
  • - {$template->op}
  • - {$template->extension} - extension the template belongs to
  • - {$template->all}
  • See more in the Saurus API documentation.
  • API: new tag {init_users} with parameters
  • - name - variable name where the returned data is saved. Default value is 'users'.
  • - parent - group ID value, optional.
  • See more in the Saurus API documentation.
  • API: {init_files} now have new parameter parent_dir which can be used to give relative path to location of files eg 'public/documents'. This value has higher priority than 'parent' parameter.
  • Bug-fixes and changes
  • {init_articles profile="profile_name"} did not filter by profile name. [#2406]
  • File manager created image thumbnails using Imagemagick. Now rewritten to use GDLib. [#2660]
  • Inserting lead/body separator inside a tag in Article Editor caused HTML to break when only lead or body was displayed in page output. [#2496]
  • File extension was incorrectly output in init_documents when file name contained more than one dot. [#2509]
  • Deleting more than one parent in Article Editor did not work. Only one parent was moved. [#2605]
  • Articles which were included in more than one mailing lists were sent out in multiple copies. [#2639]
  • Voting in polls did not work in newer PHP versions. [#2672]
  • Optimized the number of extension.config.php files read during page display. [#2643]
  • Search and Replace did not work with words that included brackets. [#2669]

  • {print_box} did not display "article lists". [#2647]
  • Adding language parameter to a content-object view now forces that object to be shown in that language. [#2661]
  • {save_profile} didn't save if parameter "parent" was defined. [#2649]
  • In the custom asset window the Apply, Save and Close buttons where pushed behind the edge of the window in Internet Explorer. [#2650]
  • {save_profile} used wrong permissions when parameter "parent" was defined. [#2651]
  • 16. In the Article Editor the selection box for article parents pushed the Save button behind the edge of the window when section tree and names were long. [#2497]
  • In editor view most links took the non-superuser editor to the public view. [#2670]
  • The Permissions page deleted group permissions when saving a users permissions. [#2640]
  • You couldn't save template in the admin section even if PHP tags were allowed. [#2653]
  • Adding a data field to the XML mapping did not work with PHP5. [#2658]
  • Security fix. [#2678]
  • Minor bugfixes. [#2645, #1673, #2646, #2671]
