Contributed Module Updates

Please note that this is a very big and complicated update that has spent over a month in the development environment and is now being pushed to production. We normally don’t send out announcements for production releases, but given the size and scope of this update, in addition to the fact that there were additional updates that were committed while this release was in development, we felt some explanations were in order.

We’ve spent a couple of months now testing the update package ourselves, on our local machines, on many different sample sites in a separate cloud-based testing environment, and then in the development environment, where we received some valuable feedback from all of you. As a result of your feedback, we were able to catch a few more issues and actually add in some additional improvements along the way. These improvements include:

  • CKEditor now displays the selected theme’s styling inside of the rich text editor as contributors are creating their content
  • Users are now able to add a link to an embedded image from the Media Browser as they’re embedding the image, initially
  • Bulk uploads are now possible via the Media Browser into an image fields – the process isn’t entirely perfected yet, but it is working and is pretty reliable

These updates weren’t without some pains. There are two notable issues:

  • Image Properties are no longer available via right clicking on an image – you’ll now see a “Media settings” option which will allow you to change your media settings
  • If you have changed the Image Properties on an embedded image prior to this update, the image will continue to show, however right clicking on the image will result in a 404 error. The only fix for this, at this time, is to re-embed the image. Given the fact that once images are embedded, users rarely will go back to change their properties, we figured we were were safe to push this out as-is while we investigate ways to address the situation.

If you find any issues other than the ones above please let us know via our contact form.
