April 14, 2023, Open Lab Notes: WDS 3.0, Carousel, Boxed Hero Banner, Gravity Forms, and WP Document Revision Information

What We Are Working on

Web Design System

  • WDS 3.0: It is closer to being in production. Stages sites for Museum and VCEA are using it now.
  • Boxed Hero Banner: A new style of the banner is in beta. The content of the banner is over a white opaque background.
  • Carousel: The block is still in beta. These blocks are set up to work in the carousel cards, news cards, images, generic container (use decorators with extreme caution, quote, overlap spotlight (single column).
    Submit a web support ticket for general help if you have suggestions for blocks for the carousel.

Glitch List

  • Fixed: Overlay Spotlight: It is having a little overlapping issue on smaller screens.
  • Fixed: TablePress & Tables: A couple of glitches to look at: Crimson border on each table, hover on non-interactive headers, and horizontal scrolling ignores the full-width settings on the table.
  • YouTube Spacing at the Bottom: Embedding a YouTube video will leave a large space below the video on the editing side and does not appear on the published page.
  • Carousel: small glitch with the width and sizing of cards.
  • Cards: Selecting Link full card adds an empty link to the card. It just needs a little updating with the code.

Submit a web support ticket to Report a Bug/Issue if you find a glitch.

Byte Size Tutorial

  • Menu lists like the Dig Deeper menu on wsu.edu. Create the links as a menu. Add spacing-bottom--xxsmall wsu-color-background--white to Menu CSS class(es) under the Advanced panel.

Resources

  • Gravity Forms: Helpful hints and useful tips for using Gravity Forms. Plus, links to Gravity Forms documentation.
  • WP Document Revisions: The Documents plugin is a document management system, a collaboration tool, and a secure hosting solution.
