Version 1.5.0

January 26, 2023

Release 1.5.0 of Open Berkeley contains updated features, bug fixes, accessibility improvements, and minor code updates.

Updated features

Brand update to site name color

In order to align with new recommendations from the Office of Communications and Public Affairs, we have updated the display of the site name and parent organization to match the "one-color logo lockup." A sample of the new look is below. See Open Berkeley site name color changed to Berkeley Blue for more information.

Internal search tracking for Google Analytics 4

We have updated Open Berkeley to better support tracking of internal site search terms in GA 4. This information is now being tracked by GA 4. However, in order to view detailed reports of internal site search terms in GA 4, analytics account owners may need to create a custom dimension for "search_term." See Google's Custom Dimensions documentation for instructions. It may take up to 24 hours for search events to show up in GA 4 reports.

This is different from the previous generation of analytics, Universal Analytics, which does not require any additional configuration to display reports on search terms.

Google Analytics is self-service. It is not part of the core bConnected collaboration suite and is not supported by any campus team. See our Managing Google Analytics documentation page for information on how to set up GA on your Open Berkeley site.

Publications filter

The Full listing for Publications now includes its filter wherever it is displayed. Previously, the filter had to be added separately. When adding new Publications listing widgets, you will not see a separate filter option. On pages where the filter had been added separately, those widgets will no longer be displayed to site visitors.

  • Maintenance updates to Drupal core 7.94.
  • Maintenance updates to contributed modules and libraries: Date, Field Group, File Entity, Media, Media YouTube, Migrate, No Referrer, Panels, TinyMCE, Views, Views Bulk Operations.

  • Fix PHP notices on built-in pages.
