All WCMS 3 sites will soon be upgraded to WCMS 3.2.41.
These release notes are subject to change without notice.
Release notes
Features/functionality
- added an option to the multi-type calendar to choose the "blank date" behaviour - starting from either the earliest item or the most recent
- created a block to allow Slate embeds
- made automatic listing blocks automatically exclude content from the current page by default, and added an option to disable this if desired
- renamed the "Waterloo News" block to "News spotlight" and added support for WCMS 3 news content in addition to the central Waterloo News site
- added the ability to filter the news listing page by the "faculty and schools" taxonomy that was recently added
Fixes/updates
- fixed an issue with the multi-type calendar block failing when displaying heavily-repeating events
- ensured nested taxonomy tags display all levels
- ensured colour choice is saved when using a manual listing block for news with the stream option
Theming changes
- fixed issues where multi-line tags would cause semi-colons afterwards to be on a line by themselves
- added theming for the "featured" and "steam" options for automatic and manual news list blocks (some colour discrepancies in faculty themes will be fixed in a future release)
- ensured additional information for contacts appears in the teaser (as used by the listings)
- removed X/Twitter from the global footer
- removed forced all-caps from the item titles in the expand/collapse block; titles will now display in upper/lowercase as originally entered
