Digital Platform May 2018 (18.05) Update

Version 18.05 of the UO Communications web platform has been released (tagged 7.x-18.05) with the following changes.

Feature Updates

UO Cosmic Theme (7.x-18.05)

  • Added palette classes
  • Added new bordered and backgrounded card options
  • Added new "Submit" and "Delete" style Call to Action buttons
    • These cta-button styles should be used at most once per page
    • Submit button should be used for things like "Apply","Donate","Submit" buttons, Primary action buttons, etc.
    • Delete button should be used for destructive actions such as "Delete Account", "Wipe Data", etc.

UO Banner Module (7.x-18.05)

  • Added builtin support for loading CDN assets for Cosmic, UO Banner, and UO Edit Suite. Admins can select to use local assets (the default prior to this release), as well as CDN assets. Do not enable CDN at this time.
    • CDN assets include the following options
      • CDN (Version Number) - This will use CDN assets for this stable release. These assets will get any hotfixes that need to be applied, but will be otherwise an unchanging stable copy of the assets for this version.
      • CDN with Asset Upgrades - This option will use CDN assets for this release of Cosmic/UOBanner/UOEditsuite. If the next release of those modules (for example, 18.06) does not contain backend code changes (template changes, PHP changes), then the 18.06 versions of these assets will be used when they are available. This option will use the latest non-breaking upgrades to the CSS, JS, and CSS Image assets.
      • CDN Nightly - This option is for development use on testing sites ONLY. This option will use the in-development version of assets for the next months version of the platform. These assets can be used to test a site's compatibility prior to the next release. These assets are not guaranteed to be stable or work consistently.

Install Profile (7.x-18.05)

  • Page title no longer appears on front page on new install

UO Maps Module (beta/18.05)

  • UO Maps iframes now have a delete button on their container in the editor

Bug Fixes

UO Cosmic Theme (7.x-18.05)

  • cta-buttons can now be properly aligned using the alignment button in the editor.

UO Banner Module (7.x-18.05)

  • Fixed sizing of "Take Action" buttons in hamburger menu sidebar

UO Edit Suite (7.x-18.05)

  • Captioned-photo captions can now have bold and italicized text.

UO Installation Profile

  • Fixes to collection "2 by grid" layout.

Important Notes

The new issue of the CKEditor WYSIWYG we are using has an issue where the old "Paste from Word" button no longer behaves like it used to, resulting in pasted content that retains many MS Word Styles we do not desire on the web. UO Edit Suite version 18.05 contains a fix for this issue by more aggressively filtering the content pasted from word (but not pasted from other sources).

Known Issues

UOEditSuite requires the colorbox drupal module for the gallery template. This requirement is not explictly decalared (in the module manifest). It will manifest itself if you try to upgrade a site to this version of UOEditSuite (and colorbox is not installed and enabled) with the following error.

 SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry  'image__gallery_image__file_field_colorbox' for key 'PRIMARY'

Work around: enable colorbox module before upgrading to UOEditSuite 18.05. If you do not already have colorbox in your platform, you may have to build a new platform with colorbox (but without UOEditSuite 18.05), upgrade site to that platform and enable colorbox. Then build a new platform (with the UOEditSuite 18.05 release), upgrade your site to this platform.
