Release 0.24.0 of Open Berkeley contains new and updated features, accessibility improvements, bug fixes, and minor code updates. These notes also include changes from version 0.24.1.
New and updated features
Featured Image field
All content types now include a new Featured Image field. Some of the new Listings widgets detailed below require the addition of a "Featured Image" on the original content item, and the image can be uploaded or selected from the image library during the process of creating/editing the content item. The Featured Image can optionally be displayed on individual pages by customizing the page and adding the Featured Image widget.
This feature was sponsored by the Institution of Transportion Studies (in-progress Open Berkeley site).
Grid and Thumbnail listings
To take advantage of the new Featured Image field, we have added listings widgets that display content in a responsive photo grid format or in a thumbnail list format. There are also two new options for News Listings widgets that use the Featured Image field. Some of these new widget options also utilize the Edit Summary field available on most content types.
Note
It's highly recommended to use "Single Preview Mode" in your widget preview settings. See Widget Previews for more information.
Re-categorized widgets
We have moved the "Add content list" and "Add collapsible content list" widget options from the top level of the Add Content screen into a new Listings category (which also includes the new Content Grid and Content Thumbnail List widgets as mentioned above).
