June 23, 2023 Open Lab Notes: WDS updates, Page Not Found Resources, Analytics Reports, & Accessibility Plugin

What We Are Working on

Web Design System

  • WDS Update: Next week (week of June 26) there will be a random bug fix.
  • Events Block: The events block is in the final stage. It will allow events from events.wsu.edu and The Events Calendar plugin (all referred to as Modern Tribe)

Projects

  • People Directory: Next project will be redesigning the People Directory and plugin.

Glitch List

  • Card with a 25% Horizontal Layout: On the webpage the image displays mid-height to the content on the other side.

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

Byte Size Tutorial

  • Site vs Page: A website has priority over a webpage. a subdirectory website like wsu.edu/website will take priority over a webpage like wsu.edu/website.
  • Full-Width blocks: Section and Generic Container bot have a full-width toggle. The Section block has the toggle in and the Generic Container block has it in Advanced. It is best to use the Section block with a full-width display for content and the generic container with a full-width display for decorators and more complicated setups.

Resources

  • Page Not Found: These instructions are for UA analytics. We’ll create another one for GA4 in the coming months.
  • WSUWP Gutenberg Accessibility: This webpage includes information on each of the Errors, Alerts, and Warnings. There is also a link to this webpage at the top of the Accessibility & Usability panel.
  • Website Analytics Report: The analytics template creates a website report with information on audience, views, activity by device, views by region, and email campaigns.
