We’re currently working on some back-end tasks, like integration between the Course Hub and Canvas, a tool to audit usage of plugins and themes across multiple WordPress installations, updating our RSS caching tool to work with newer versions of the PHP HttpRequest library, and the initial migration of the Davis program sites to Drupal 8.

Updates

• Drupal features 7.x-2.10
• WordPress CM Tooltip Glossary 3.3.5
• WordPress Jetpack 4.0 and 4.0.2

Fixes and Tweaks

• We have updated the MiddSTART site, adding an index on several columns in the database which dramatically improves load time of the lists of donors from about 50 seconds to about five seconds.
• Removed a restriction on guest accounts, allowing them to log into the Course Hub, which creates a local account that instructors can then add to course sites for the purpose of granting them access to Canvas.
• The roll year in the Online Donor Roll was set to FY 2016 so that class agents and reunion committee members would properly appear.
