In v1.6, we resolved some usability issues with the section navigation (formerly known as side navigation) and site footers. We also fixed some accessibility issues on some of our Featured Content and Content Block components.
The updated section navigation will premiere on the forthcoming Student Affairs website and fix the pesky white space issues created by the old side navigation. Section navigation will now be easier to find on mobile, as well. The option to implement the new section nav will be rolled out selectively. Keep an eye out for upcoming releases to stay in the loop!
Improvements
- Updated section navigation no longer creates awkward white space
- Improved mobile side navigation is now easier to locate and use
- Updated the Multiple Columns option in the site footer so the columns stack at the same point the global footer does
Bug fixes
- Fixed an issue where the section navigation was completely hidden when "hide from top nav" option was selected
- Fixed an issue where Multiple Columns footer option content was not showing on pages unless there was text under the Custom HTML option
- Fixed a navigation issue where the border for the active, highlighted items were bright yellow instead of blue
- Fixed an accessibility issue with Media Background components where the play/pause button had no default alternative text before the video loaded
- Using the .cta-link-primary class to a content grid module will no longer display an additional border under the link
- Thumbnail grid (bordered) links should now open in a new window when they are external
- Fixed an issue that allowed a page to be saved in Cascade without having a banner image selected when the option to enable banner was checked
