Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🇲🇽
The Digital Communications team is ringing in this holiday with a bunch of small updates and one big announcement.
We are excited to introduce the Core Resource Hub, a new Core-centric website dedicated to building and maintaining FIU websites in Cascade.
The Core Resource Hub will provide best practices, galleries of example websites, features and components, and a blog for announcements, release notes and tips on how to resolve common issues.
New Resources
- Explore the new Core Resource Hub, a one-stop shop for everyone using FIU’s Core template, at https://core.fiu.edu.
- A list of CSS helper classes has been added to the Core Resources website
Improvements
- All components with an image field that results in an image tag now output the height and width attributes of that image and lazy load using the HTML5 loading attribute.
- There is now a
.button--outlineclass that results in a button with a border and no background color—aka a “ghost” button. - All components now have a Custom Class field for custom CSS classes
- Multimedia backgrounds now limit the left and right extremes of where the content panel is positioned
- Added widget-specific classes to the blog widgets at the bottom of posts for better style targeting
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue with the “In this section” mobile navigation applying the wrong colors to links
- Added proper CORS headers to blog feed scripts
- Fixed an issue where the blog subheading field was escaping HTML content
- Fixed an issue in the main menu on mobile that affected the styling of the “Close X”

- Fixed an issue with the menu dropdown indicators in Firefox and made all dropdown indicators uniform across the different nav components
- Added a temporary fix to an issue causing duplicate links in the mobile main nav
