Kernel

  • Added user specified template values.
  • Added PathPrefix functionality to be able to remove selected parts of the url in the url alias
  • Added storeData() function for eZContentObjectAttribute, this function is safe for datatypes to call (unlike store() ). Merged in from 3.3 stable (Rev. 4817)

  • Added edit button link for class view.
  • Added support for fetching a class by the identifier (fetchByIdentifier) eZContentClass.
  • Added support for class identifiers in addition to the existing class ids in content/action. Use ClassIdentifier instead of ClassID to get this functionality.
  • New fetch function in content module for checking access types on an object called access.
  • Added support for the new variable system in the URLs for google.tpl, that means (offset)/10 instead of offset/10, this also works with nice urls.
  • Added class_identifier as design/override key to content/view.
  • Added data_map support for eZContentClass, this means that all attributes are returned as an associative array with the identifier as the key.
  • Added support for sending the class identifier as a string to the content/class fetch function.
  • Added content/pdf for on the fly generation of PDF based on current node. Utilizes normal content caching.
  • Added setting for adjusting default value of ezdatetime datatype based on current date
  • Added ezcontentobject_tree.modified_subnode to eZContentObjectTreeNode to make fetches of last modified subtree faster.
