What Changed in November 2023
Friday 3 November 2023
- Database patch to properly attribute and set added dates for photographs for two people
- Fix to code to prevent this happening again
→ Release 9.41.7.2
Saturday 4 November 2023
- Restored session purging and ran it to clear huge backlog
To Sunday 19 November 2023
- Work on improving user profiles
- Some tweaks to JavaScript error trapping
- Improvements to linear maps on gazetteer pages
- Long linear maps now truncate with a scroll bar by default
- But there is an option to turn that behaviour off and revert to the existing of a great long section
- In doing this, found and fixed bugs in page options that date back to probably the options upgrade
- Restored sub-options (for example "show/hide index" for tabbed photos)
- Changing just plugin options without making any changes via "preferences" didn't make them work on the next page (didn't set "notdefault" flag)
Monday 20 November 2023
- Improvements to the appearance of gazetteer pages on narrow screens (phones etc):
- Changed the layout of the linear map (it was horrid, I'm surprised people haven't complained) - so when they are consecutive instead of side by side, the map is to the left not squished at the right.
- Reduced the size of the text in the title
- Removed breadcrumbs
- Removed explore/discussion buttons - added them to the drop down menu instead
→ Release 9.41.8
