Oracle ECM Alerts - Product News & Information

Back in September of 2009, Site Studio 10gR4 included two extremely useful new features:

On Demand Editors-
This is a new feature that allows the contributor form to load and only show a preview of each of the elements until they are clicked on to activate them. This can be very useful when editing a region with a large number of elements where the intention is to only edit a subset of the elements.

Direct Delivery of Native Documents-
Traditionally when a link was made to a Native Doc, that link would redirect to the weblayout location for that file. This meant that a path containing entries like /groups/public/documents, etc, would be seen in the users browser. A new feature has been implemented to allow PDF files to be delivered directly from a friendly URL instead of redirecting to the weblayout location. This helps to maintain the users context within the website. In addition to PDFs, this feature has also been extended to include any other file type. The feature allows a global list of file extensions to be configured and then overrides may be applied, via custom section properties, at the section level.

See release notes for more details.

A new build of 10gR4 was released to metalink on January 15th. Notable updates include a new version of the Ephox editor (7.0.2.21), as well as a new feature for section level replication. From the release notes:

Section level Replication feature -
New section property that allows sections to be considered not ready to move during a site replication. This allows a section to be marked as not ready for replication while significant changes are being made to the section. When the section is ready to be replicated the property can be reset either in the designer application, the manager application or directly from the page in contribution mode (via the new contribution mode banner option). When this feature is enabled, adding a new section or performing a switch content on a section will automatically set this value to not ready so that the new content will not automatically be replicated to another server. The feature is enabled in Designer from the File->Site->Advanced->Enable Section Level Replication menu.
