IMPORTANT: Carousel module in Cascade experiencing display issues
by University Web Services 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

Dear Cascade Website Maintainers, This message is to notify everyone that the carousel modules on the USD website are currently experiencing issues. In some cases the carousels are currently loading each slide as a linear element, so they are displaying fully expanded on the web page. In other cases they aren't displaying at all. This particular module is used quite a bit throughout the website, so we wanted to proactively notify our group of maintainers. To see a few examples of what this means, you can view the following pages: 1. (Carousel) http://www.sandiego.edu/international/ 2. (Instagram using Carousel) http://www.sandiego.edu/outdoor-adventures/ 3. (Custom implementations of Carousel) http://www.sandiego.edu/soles/ *We have solved the issue on the backend, but it requires that all sites be republished which we are starting now*. We will send out an update once everything has been republished. Thank you in the meantime for your patience.

Cascade CMS upgraded to 8.11 early this morning, complete
by University Web Services 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Good morning, Cascade web maintainers, A new version of Cascade CMS was released to us today, version 8.11. We apologize that we didn't send out a notice before the upgrade took place, as we normally do. But the upgrade went smoothly but there are now a few changes and new features that we want to bring to your attention. The "Save & Preview" button is now just "*Preview Draft*", but it accomplishes the same thing as before: it let's you preview your work, saves it as a draft, and then you still have the option to submit your changes to workflow. Here is what it looks like now. It is just a simple name change. [image: Screen Shot 2018-11-08 at 7.47.57 AM.png] Second, you can now add words to your *Cascade dictionary*. Original Cascade users from a few years back may remember this feature, but it disappeared for several versions. Well it's back! This dictionary is custom to your unique user account, so feel free to add any common words you encounter in the spell check all the time, such as acronyms unique to our university, people's names, etc. It will ensure those words and acronyms no longer pester in the spell checker you each time you try to save your content. Here is what you will now see. [image: Screen Shot 2018-11-08 at 7.50.31 AM.png] Last, the *accessibility check* for tables in the above screenshot is now more user friendly as well. If you have one or multiple *tables *on a page that are* missing their summaries* (captions), the accessibility check has always prompted you to enter the captions before submitting to workflow. But now there is a link for each table titled "View Non-Compliant Content" that if you click will show the offending table. Please note that it will show the HTML code of the table and you cannot edit the content there, but if you visually scan the code you will see the content you entered into your table, allowing you to quickly identify which table needs a caption without having to guess or go back into edit mode on your page. Then simply click "Fix" and enter an appropriate and descriptive summary of your table's contents. Here is what you will now see. [image: table.jpg] If you have any questions or issues regarding these new features, please submit a web request at www.sandiego.edu/web-requests. Thank you!
