News Listing Accessibility: Fix Container Element is Empty
Oct 11Siteimprove detected an error in the markup of the News Listing page when the page was filtered by a tag which didn't exist in the site's news articles. The page included a list which did not contain any list items. The news module has been updated to no longer output the empty list.
Header/Footer Hovered Link Contrast Fixes
Oct 6In the main menu, breadcrumbs, In this Section menu, and the footer, when the user hovered their mouse over links, the links would turn red. While the red color was chosen in part for its contrast level on white backgrounds, these areas are gray, black, or red. To improve accessibility, text links in these areas will no longer change colors on hover. Instead, the text will become underlined when the user hovers over the text to reinforce that they are links and visually indicate which link is currently under the cursor.
Heading Level Options Added to Featured Text + Chevron Component
Oct 5The Featured Text + Chevron component has been updated with options to set the heading level (h2,h3,h4,h5,h6) of the component's Heading and Title fields.
Don't Exclude Pages from sitemap.xml
Oct 5This update changes the New Page Template for most page types to include the files in the sitemap.xml. News Articles, Faculty/Contact Profiles, Program Detail pages, and Redirects are still excluded from the sitemap.xml by default.
Remove dev- Prefix from Canonical URL
Oct 3The "dev-" prefix will no longer be included in the canonical URL meta tag when pages are published from websites in development. This will prevent the need to republish all of the pages when the site goes live and the prefix is removed from the subdomain. It will also help to prevent the "dev-" subdomain from showing up in search results.
[News Home] Category Components Updated
Sep 25The [News Home] Category Alternate and [News Home] Category 3X components have been updated to modify the presentation of their "More from" links to be more consistent with each other. The CTA button was removed from the Category Alternate component and replaced with a "More from" link in the same style as the one on the [News Home] Category 3X component. Both links also feature an arrow after the link text to provide an additional visual indication that it is a link.
News Homepage
Sep 15The News Homepage and associated components will be available when the NewsCenter migration is complete. These combine to offer a variety of new ways to feature news stories and feeds.
Accordion Snippet's Default Expanded Panel Changed to Zero
Sep 14The Accordion snippet's Expand a Panel value was set by default to 2, causing the second panel to expand on page load. This value has been changed to 0 so that all panels are collapsed by default (which is the most common behavior).
Support for Multiple Rows Added to Content Preview 3x Component
Sep 13Added support for multiple rows to the Content Preview 3x component.
Profile Component Fixed to Hide Email, Phone, and Office When Not Selected
