Sitefinity July 2020 Release
New content type, enhancements, and more!
Kali Karakasidou | Office of Information Technology Jul 28, 2020We hope everyone’s summer is going well! Our Sitefinity July release has been primarily focused on fixing bugs and issues stemming from the Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó Student Journey Web Experience (CUD SJWE) launch. If you haven’t yet, we encourage you to about all the changes that were a part of this big initiative.
New features
Although we’ve been primarily focused on CUD SJWE bug fixes, we’re excited to announce that we have released a new content type: Cost Content Type. This re-usable content type will allow site builders to centrally manage cost information to show across different sites, sub-sites, and pages. To learn more about how to use this content type, please .
Enhancements to current functionality
The following enhancements were addressed in July’s release:
- Update various widgets to use a relative image path. This fix ensured that security warnings were not appearing on our pages, which was happening because we were loading images on http, not https.
- Update the Video widget to provide the ability to show the video thumbnail, like you can do in video gallery.
- Allow .svg uploads to Checklist Phases, checklist Steps, and Enhanced Cards.
Bug fixes
The following bugs were addressed in July’s release:
- Forms: the CAPTCHA field won’t work when comments are not enabled.
- People content type: remove full-width image from mobile on cards.
- Newsroom: the icon that signifies that a story is an external link is next to the name rather than the text “Full story.”
- Enhanced cards: make sure error message does not get shown when selecting an embeddable video but putting nothing in it.
- Academic Programs: comma before psuedo class should be updated to match style guide.
- Department: widget was not appearing in the toolbox.
- Events: paragraph text color was changed accidentally in the detail view.
- SJWE pages: global header of CU in the City mark was not centered on some pages.
- Checklist phases: for the ColoradoSPH theme, the font size was too large.
- Horizontal navigation: on iPhone 6 and Safari browser, the top navigation was jumbled and unusable.
- Research admin: description is now visible in links & resources and headline is now above the sub-phases description
- OIT alerts: planned outage battery is now available in list template.
