Cascade CMS 8.12

• In cases where structured data nodes have been removed from the Data Definition, but are still persisted with the asset, the nodes will be moved to the root level of structured-data-nodes and its identifier property will be changed to a static value of <legacy>.
• When reading an asset with structured data nodes, a structured-data-node will now be returned for all fields. This means that if a given asset is missing a value for a field, a structured-data-node with that field's default value will be returned.

Cascade CMS 8.11

Cascade CMS 8.9

Content Tags

The indexBlock complexType has a new boolean field called indexTags which specifies whether or not the block should render tags assigned to assets being indexed.

The folder-contained-asset complexType has a new field called tags which is used to read/edit tags associated with an asset.

There are also two new complexTypes, tags and tag, which are used to structure the tags assigned to an asset.

Related Asset Publishing

The contentType complexType has two new fields, publishSetId and publishSetPath, used to associate a Publish Set with the Content Type.

The listSubscribers operation has a new field called manualSubscribers to include relationships that are manually added to an asset.

The publish operation has a two new boolean fields:

• publishRelatedAssets - includes related assets in the publish job
• publishRelatedPublishSet - includes the Publish Set associated with the given Page's Content Type

Asset Review Scheduling

The folder-contained-asset complexType's reviewEvery property is now validated to ensure the provided value is: 0, 30, 90, 180, or 365.

System Preferences

When updating system preferences using the editPreference operation, the system_pref_system_url preference will be validated to ensure the provided value is a valid URL.

Cascade CMS 8.8

Siteimprove Settings

The siteImproveUrl property has been added to the site complexType which can be used to overwrite the Site URL if it differs from the URL specified within Siteimprove.

System Dictionary

A new ability, modifyDictionary, has been added to the global-abilities complexType to match new abilities available in the UI related to allowing users the ability to modify the System Dictionary.

Cascade CMS 8.7

Asset Naming Rules

The following properties have been added to site asset:

• inheritNamingRules
• namingRuleCase
• namingRuleSpacing
• namingRuleAssets

Scheduling properties

Properties reviewOnSchedule and reviewEvery belong now to dublin-aware-asset rather than folder-contained-asset. This means that references, formats and templates no longer have these properties.

Move/rename workflow type

The workflowDefinition asset has a new boolean property: move.

Cascade CMS 8.6

Extensions to Strip

The extensionsToStrip property has been added to the destination and site complexTypes which can be used to remove extension(s) from links managed by Cascade CMS during publish.

Cascade CMS 8.4.1.2ccc4d6

In 8.4.1.2ccc4d6, it is possible to configure whether or not folders should be included in the Stale Content Report. This setting is available at a folder level through the "includeInStaleContent" property:

Cascade CMS 8.3

WYSIWYG Editor Configurations

Customizable WYSIWYG Configurations, added in Cascade 8.3, can be manipulated via web services operations like most other assets in the system.  The available fields are displayed below:

A listEditorConfigurations operation has also been added which allows script writers to access all Wysiwyg Editor Configurations contained in a particular Site.

With the addition of WYSIWYG configurations, all WYSIWYG related properties on Groups and Sites have been removed.  Sites and Content Types have new properties defaultEditorConfigurationId/defaultEditorConfigurationPath and editorConfigurationId/editorConfigurationPath respectively, which allow editor configurations to be assigned to those asset types via web services.

New abilities accessEditorConfigurations and bypassWysiwygEditorRestrictions have been added to the sites-abilities complexType and the accessDefaultEditorConfiguration ability has been added to global-abilities to match new abilities available in the UI related to WYSIWYG configurations.

Global Area Cleanup and Other Misc Updates

In an effort to clean up remnants of the Global Area, most of the old Global Area abilities on Roles that are no longer applicable have been removed from the global-abilities complexType.

The defaultGroup property has also been removed from User objects as it has been removed from the system entirely.

The accessAudits ability has been added to the global-abilities complexType to match the UI.

Cascade CMS 8.1.1

• Fixed: Blocks can not be read if underlying Data Definition has a field added to it

Cascade CMS 8.1

Search Updates

The Web Services search API has been updated to mirror the new Advanced Search UI added in Cascade 8.0.  

It's now possible to filter search results by specific types, specific fields, and/or a specific site.  Search terms behave identically to how they behave in the UI.  Multi-word phrases can be searched for by surrounding the terms in double-quotes.  Unquoted terms will be matched individually.  For example, "mouse rat" will exactly match the phrase "mouse rat", but mouse rat will match mouse or rat or both.

Note that single term searches in 8.1 will also include partial word matches.  So, searching for housewill match milhouse and houseboat.  This did not happen in 8.0.x.

The "searchInformation" complexType has been changed to the following which more closely matches the new Advanced Search UI:

Notice the elements to specify a site by either id or name, the element to specify the types of assets to match, and the element to specify the fields to match.

The searchTypes element can be populated with any of the values that already exist in the entityTypeString simpleType.

The searchFields element can be populated with any values present in the newly addedsearchFieldString simpleType displayed below.

Cascade CMS 8.0

Asset Factory Descriptions

With the addition of the "description" field for Asset Factories and Asset Factory Containers in the UI, the WSDL has been updated to allow configuring that field via web services.

Goodbye Global!

With the removal of the Global Area from the system, all existing complexTypes containing a siteName and siteId now require that at least one of those fields be populated.  This includes all home area assets and site management components.  Note that this is not enforced in the WSDL but is enforced by the server whenever an edit or create operation is performed.

Ability Updates

The existing "accessAdminArea" global ability has been renamed to "accessManageSiteArea" and a new ability with the old name, "accessAdminArea", has been added which governs access to the new System Administration area and not the Manage Site area as the renamed ability does.

The New Site wizard and Site Migration wizard tools have been removed from the system and their corresponding global abilities in the WSDL, "newSiteWizard" and "siteMigration", have also been removed.

The Recycle Bin Checker and Path Repair database tools have also been removed from the system and their global abilities, "recycleBinChecker" and "pathRepairTool", have likewise been removed from the WSDL.

Search Updates

Search via the UI has been revamped; however, the WSDL has not yet been updated to be compatible with the new search functionality.  Searching via web services will be unpredictable at best and will outright fail at worst.  Stay tuned for search updates in a future release!
