Dec 15, 2023 Open Lab Notes: Degree Finder, Digital Accessibility, and Web Support Ticket
What We Are Working on
Project Websites
- Degree Finder: So close to the finish line!!!! Take a look. See something amiss? Use the Feedback form on the website.
- Digital Accessibility: Get started! Take the training! Do all the things!
- Web Support Ticket: Our new web suport ticketing system is ready for you to test! web.wsu.edu/wst
Or: (I know! These links are super awesome! (hint: add an ! to the end of the short URL for an added bonus))- web.wsu.edu/help
- web.wsu.edu/sos
- web.wsu.edu/ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (any number of h’s will work)
Web Design System
- Directory Filter: The directory filter on the People Block is updated.
- Super Secret Squirrel Stuff:
- WDS 4.0: This is a late 2024 project.
- Decorator Block (in WDS 4.): The block will be easier to use. There will be a decorator template library for adding premade decorators (instead of doing all the calculations).
Projects
- Upcoming Project: WSU Foundation website
Glitch List
- People Directory Profile Address & Phone Number: The glitch is the profile page will reenter the address or phone number even though you’ve deleted it. Adding a space will keep the entry from appearing again.
Submit a web support ticket to Report a Bug/Issue if you find a glitch.
Byte Size Tutorial
- Hidden Field in Gravity Forms: We used the hidden field on feedback forms to get the referral URL (previous page viewed before the Feedback form page).
