ITS is happy to announce the immediate availability of UT Drupal Kit 2.22.0, the latest maintenance release for our University distribution of the Drupal web content management system. This release includes several contrib module updates, one small accessibility bugfix, and the removal of a list styling change that was added in the 2.21 release.
CONTRIB UPDATES
The 2.22 release includes updates to the following contrib modules:
- CKEditor (version 7.x-1.19 – release notes)
- Honeypot (version 7.x-1.26 – release notes)
- Media (version 7.x-2.26 – release notes)
- Media CKEditor (version 7.x-2.14 – release notes)
- Metatag (version 7.x-1.27 – release notes)
- Views (version 7.x-3.24 – release notes)
ACCESSIBILITY FIX FOR QUALTRICS SURVEY EMBEDS
The UT Drupal Kit’s custom functionality for embedding Qualtrics surveys through the WYSIWYG editor was unintentionally providing a default id attribute of “Qualtrics” on every embedded survey, which could result in an accessibility violation for duplicate id values on the same page if multiple surveys are embedded on the page.
This has been resolved by adding a unique id attribute to each embedded Qualtrics survey that is calculated from the survey’s URL.
REVERT DEFAULT STYLING FOR ORDERED LISTS
In the 2.21 release, default styling for list item styles in nested ordered lists was added to the Forty Acres theme. This change has been removed after reports that the default styling interfered with list item styles that had been applied directly in HTML markup by content editors.
