Drupal Release 7.41-cws-1.0.0

Posted on by | Leave a reply

The Drupal 7.41-cws-1.0.0 update was released to our development environment on Tuesday, October 27th, and will be released to production sites on Tuesday, Nov. 3rd.  Our previous development release was not pushed to production therefore this release includes our previous package, plus some additional updates, as noted with a bold typeface:

Major Version Upgrade

  • Drupal Core 7.39 > 7.41

Drupal Core Bug Fix/Security Updates

  • Drupal Core 7.41 addresses a less critical security vulnerability in the core Overlay module. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that it can only be used against site users who have the “Access the administrative overlay” permission, and that the Overlay module must be enabled.
    • OSU Drupal 7 does not have the Overlay module enabled in its default distribution.

New Modules Added

  • Access Control Bridge: 7.x-1.2
    • Added to improve the interplay between the different access control modules we use (Domain Access and Organic Groups).
  • Feature Page: 7.x-1.1.2
    • An OSU module that provides a full-width, liquid display. Please see our Feature Page instructions if you’re interested in previewing this in your development environment.

Contributed Module Updates

  • Adminimal theme: 7.x-1.22 -> 7.x-1.23
  • Colorbox: 7.x-2.9 -> 7.x-2.10
    • Less Critical Security fix to prevent users from adding unexpected content to a colorbox, including content from external sites, which could allow an unprivileged user to deface a site. Issue was mitigated by the fact that comments must be enabled (they are not used on our sites).
  • Features: 7.x-2.6 -> 7.x-2.7
  • Filefield Paths: 7.x-1.0-beta4 -> 7.x-1.0-rc1
  • Pathauto: 7.x-1.2 -> 7.x-1.3
  • Views Field View: 7.x-1.1 -> 7.x-1.2
    • Fixed query aggregation for field api fields
    • Sorted list of views
    • Fixed strict warning only variables – should be passed by reference in options_form()
    • Added simple, static caching
  • Webform: 7.x-4.10 -> 7.x-4.12
    • Over 15 issues/feature improvements added in the 7.x-4.11 release. Please see the Webform project release notes list for details.
    • There was an additional update between our two update sessions that has been included in this release.  Over 20 issues/feature improvements have been added in the 7.x-4.12 release. Please see the Webform project release notes list for details.

OSU Module Updates

  • Live Feeds: Added Google Calendar Feed into module
  • OSU Search: Removed unnecessary argument from query string for Google Site Search

OSU Theme Updates

  • Doug Fir: Added improved styling for Views Accordian menu

Drupal Release 7.37-cws-1.0.0

Posted on by | Leave a reply

The Drupal 7.37-cws-1.0.0 update was released to our development environment on Tuesday, May 11th, 2015, and will be released to production sites on Tuesday, May 19.  This release includes:

OSU Drupal Bug Fix

  • In the previous release, which included a major update to the Media module, it was discovered that the Colorbox module no longer worked, which affected the display of our Video Carousel feature. Videos themselves still worked, but they would not open in the “lightbox” that we were using for the Video Carousel feature. The fix for this required the inclusion of a new module, media_colorbox. This allowed us to simplify the View that displays the videos, so in the end we now have a better solution. This fix has already been pushed out to all of the development sites, and many of the production sites that were using videos. The rest of the production sites will get the update on Tuesday May 19 during the normal update cycle.

Drupal Core Bug Fix

  • In Drupal 7.36, a regression occurred which caused certain kinds of content to become disabled if they were originally defined by a module that is no longer available.  This has been corrected.

Major Version Upgrade

  • Drupal core 7.37

Security Updates

  • None

CWS Custom Module Updates

  • live_feeds-7.x-2.3.1 – the Beaver Job parser has been added
  • doug_fir-7.x-2.9.0 the LPI theme variant has been added

Contributed Module Updates

  • faq-7.x-1.0 has been updated to its first stable release
