Weekly Web Updates – January 16, 2017

The Dining Menus website features a new responsive design, making it easier to use on mobile devices.

We removed the greenday, regulus, edu-knows, and irresistible themes from WordPress, which were not in use on any active sites.

Updates

Fixes and Tweaks

  • We’ve deployed an update to the BLSE homepage from our colleagues in Communications & Marketing.
  • Corrected an issue with the MailPoet newsletter WordPress plugin that prevented the preview and send buttons from working.
  • The media button in the WYSIWYG editor for the MIIS Drupal site appears again.
  • Fixed an issue with the WordPress Authors plugin that made it appear as though each author wrote zero posts.

Ongoing Work

  • Creating a new website for the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.
  • A small redesign of the Middlebury News Room to bring it more inline with the newsletter.
  • Building out the configuration of our Omeka, and CAS servers in Chef, which is a configuration management system. We have already completed this work for our Drupal, WordPress, MediaWiki, GO, and the Course Catalog services.
  • Upgrading the Drupal sites for the Davis programs, Dining Menus, and Museum of Art to Drupal 8.
  • Providing Course Hub access for Schools Abroad courses.
