UK Web Platform April 2025 Release Notes v3.10.0
Version 3.10.0 of the UK Web Platform was released on April 4th, 2025. This release includes feature additions and bugfixes. Platform packages are available at github.com/uky-web.
New Features
- Updated the Full-width hero (overlay) header type to include an option for "Hero Image Size" which will allow for selecting the 3x1 (small) or 16x9 (large) image aspect ratios. This does not work for video headers. They must be sized prior to upload.
Fixes
- Fixed issue on the person content type where the name field was escaping apostrophes.
- On the carousel paragraph type, updated the display for the image to full width to resolve blurry images.
- Fixed issue on the News and Event content types where selecting the Full-width hero (overlay) was causing the page to error out (WSOD).
Other Changes
- Updated paragraph selection box order on all content types to be alphabetical. This change will order default platform paragraph types and then will have any custom paragraph types at the bottom of the list.
- The configuration for the content teaser grid view was setup to have a conditional filter by term name which was not working properly when trying to use the feed paragraph with only specific taxonomy terms. This update will allow filtering by taxonomy term number. Updated the configuration for new sites and added an update hook that will update the view on existing sites but only if the view hasn't been modified from the default configuration that was installed on the platform originally.
For Developers
- Setup a .ddev/php/php.ini file so when running your site locally or in Gitpod the ddev php settings will closely match the hosted production/development site.
- Created .devcontainer/devcontainer.json and .devcontainer/setup_project.sh so sites can be developed in Github Codespaces instead of Gitpod. Currently this devcontainer setup still utilizes ddev but we will be looking into possibly having a second devcontainer setup that will match the operating system, php, mysql, and apache of the production server.
