There’s a new PDF button in the WYSIWYG editor on our Drupal 8 sites. To upload and/or link to a PDF, highlight the text you want to use for the link and click the button with the PDF icon. You can then start typing the name of a PDF and find it in the content that’s been uploaded to the site, or click the Upload a PDF button to add new one. This is the first of our multimedia integrations using the new core Drupal 8 Media Library dialog which we’ll be rolling out for images, video, and audio soon.
We are happy to announce that the Course Hub has gained a new feature: profiles for users with the ability to record your name pronunciation in both audio and text. Further detailed in the ITS knowledge base, this feature will present name pronunciation and preferred pronouns to instructors in the Course Hub’s class-rosters. Likewise, instructor name pronunciation will be shown to students on course-overview pages.
The Directory will now display students’ Dean assignment in place of their old Commons assignment. This can be viewed in the rightmost column where Department is displayed for faculty and staff records, or on individual listings. The Dean assignment is only shown when using the Directory on campus, over the VPN, or if you log in to the Directory using the “Log In” link at the top right.
The event schedule component on Drupal 8 sites now allows you to add a featured image, a call to action button, and associate multiple people with the event.
