Software updated

Submitted by Admin on

I've just finished one of the periodic updates to the software that runs the website, bringing it all up to date with the current versions.

In theory it shouldn't change the way anything works, but if you notice any bugs or strange behaviour, please leave a comment below.

One problem I've noticed is that if I insert a photo into text, the default caption isn't set. Previously the caption was automatically filled in with the photo's filename and the user that uploaded it, but that has stopped working. (You can still add a caption manually.) I'll take a look into that later.

on mobile, the thread page column formatting is squeezing the contents into just a couple of characters' width. It looks like it might be happening with desktop viewing as well e.g Moddsey has become: 
Moddse
y

I can upload a mobile screenshot if you can't replicate. I don't think I have changed any settings on my phone.

Hi there,

The formatting issues appeared to have something to do with how mobile devices with a smaller screen handle the html codes.

On my Android phone, if viewing the site in landscape mode with Chrome, it looks normal with more reasonable 'word wrapping' action being taken.  Such presentations appeared to be dynamic according to OS and browsers.

While before the upgrade, information presented in hard tabular form (with tabular outlines) may require scrolling left and right as some columns of the table may be beyond the margin of the screen.

ps     The presentation appeared to be normal while being viewed from a 'desktop' OS.  At least normal under Windows 11.  I do not own any MacOS devices thus unable to verify.  Will confirm Chrome OS later when I am home.  I guess it likely comes down to how mobile OS handles the HTML or other code in used by the web server.

When I add anything on 'Tag' I get this :

"The website encountered an unexpected error. Try again later.

Error: Call to undefined function Drupal\gwulo_add\Entity\ksm() in Drupal\gwulo_add\Entity\GwuloAddEntity->preSave() (line 302 of modules/contrib/gwulo_add/src/Entity/GwuloAddEntity.php)."

Plus a whole bunch of code...too long to copy and paste 

I have a small mobile and have the same problem mentioned by philk in that the Gwulo entries are now strung out like spaghetti. Hope there's a solution to this as I mostly access Gwulo on my mobile.

Thanks for reporting these bugs.

  • moddsey: Add Connections - Place Names
  • eurasian_david: When I add anything on 'Tag'
    • These should both be working again now (they were both caused by the same problem). 

 

  • philk: column formatting
  • tgnan: Re: Formatting/html code handling issues?
  • jill: No width to columns
    • Until I find the fix for this, a workaround is to hold your mobile in landscape orientation when looking at the What's new / Recent content page.

This should be fixed now.

If you are still seeing the problem, first try refreshing the page in your browser. If that doesn't help, clear saved files from your browser. (In Chrome on my Android phone I had to go to the three-dot menu, then 'Delete browsing data' > 'More options', and choose to delete 'Cached images and files'.)
