titleGX WebManager 9

GX WebManager 9.18.x, 9.19.x and 9.20.x to XperienCentral 10.x.x


  • The "javax.servlet:servlet" artifact name has been changed to "javax.servlet:servlet-api". This may require changes to dependencies in WCB pom.xml files. However, most (if not all) WCBs "inherit" this setting from XperienCentral and won't require changes. NOTE: From 10.9.0 the 3.0 servlet API is supported, so see below for 10.9.0 related changes to  support this version of the servlet API.  
  • Create pages as a display on page for page sections and the image, download, flash and multimedia and configure these special pages at "Website configuration" -> "Special pages".
  • Choose a page part that will display page sections that do not yet have a page section label assigned and configure it as such by checking the "Show page sections without label" checkbox at "Design templates" -> "Page parts". Make sure this page part is visible on the page section display on page configured in the previous step. Also see Online Help in XperienCentral.
  • Rebuild the search index
-
  • Update customized wmasolrsearch configuration
-
  • Presentation: Update xslStyleSheet.jspf in the "website" folder of your custom presentation WCB to
 
  • check for "mode=incontext" instead of "mode=preview". This is needed for Read Access to work on
 
  • the backend.
-
  • Tweak presentations to work seamlessly with Inline Editing. For more on this, see section 3
 
  • "Preparing  presentation WCBs for use with the Inline Editor" below.
-
  • From GX WebManager 10.1 XperienCentral, Interactive Forms has become integral part of the platform.
 
  • As a result, the Interactive Forms bundles are not upgraded automatically, and therefore, all
 
  • Interactive Forms bundles with the version 2.x.y need to be stopped and uninstalled manually.


Optional changes:


- It is suggested to disable adds in the incontext mode of XperienCentral.

- Remove or update maximum platform version in pom.xml. Note that as of GX WebManager 10 XperienCentral

  this property is no longer honored as the GX WebManager 10 XperienCentral API will remain backwards

  compatible with GX WebManager 9.

- If a WCB uses dependency manager api directly it should switch to the new dependency manager 3 API

- Updating icons for Custom Media Items may be preferred; existing icons may typically not fit that

  well in the new UI. Deleting them and falling back to the default may be a valid solution in many

  cases. New sizes are 20x20 and 180x180 with Sprite support. Icons for Elements will probably need

  to be updated as well.

- Make sure empty content items have a non-zero size (in mode=incontext) in order to be able to

  doubleclick on it in the Inline Editor. The same goes for elements.

- The menu has been reordered and target menu settings in WCB component definitions are now ignored.

  In order to place a menu item in a specific category, use

  "PanelComponentDefinitionImpl.setMenuCategory()" to set the category to one of the constants

  defined in PanelComponentDefinition.
