Release Notes

Version 3.13.0 of the UK Web Platform was released on March 3rd, 2026.

Platform packages and change logs are available at github.com/uky-web.

New Features

Single Sign On using ADFS (SSO): Setup and configured the samlauth module which will provide 2 factor authentication for Drupal sites. This setup will still link user profiles to linkblue id and email address. The following new fields have been created on all user profiles as well. These attributes will sync to user profiles automatically when anyone logs in with linkblue credentials.
- Name (uky_name)
  - First Name
  - Last Name
  - Middle Initial
- Display Name (uky_display_name)
- Department (uky_department)
- Office (uky_office)
Updated user profile view to display new fields but only if the configuration for the user profiles has not been modified from platform defaults.
Updated admin/people default view to include first name, last name, and email address. Also set default sort to be by last login. This view is getting reset to default for all sites. If there were changes made to this view they will need to be applied again.
Added Social Media Icons for Bluesky and Reddit.

Updated maintenance mode template to hard code image paths so it works on sites with sub themes.
Updated Gallery to allow for links in the image caption. Previously this would break the gallery item.
Corrected the campus map block background image path.

Removed READMEold.md from the project template and from all current sites. This was out dated and has been replaced with the current README.md.

Created 2 config splits for ddev, settings.ddev.php which will be set to overwrite when scaffolded and then settings.ddev-custom.php which will only scaffold when it is missing. If you need to make changes to your ddev environment you must use the settings.ddev-custom.php to add your custom settings. Any modifications to settings.ddev.php will be lost when composer update is ran. If you have any questions on this you can request a platform coder lab session from https://web.uky.edu/connect for more information.
Replaced all instances of the UKY Packages Repository URL from satis.uky.dev and composer.uky.dev with composer.uky.edu. This was done on all platform packages along with existing sites root composer files.
