Release 25.7.1

General Updates

• New Story Import Process for Newsroom. A new system has been added to allow stories and news content to be shared more reliably between sites. This helps reduce issues previously caused by syncing large amounts of content through Content Hub.
• Improved Online Scheduling Options. Updates to provider profiles ensure users can see all available online scheduling options, including both direct and open scheduling providers.
• New "Loc-Arapeen" Menu for Healthcare. A new menu section was added under Healthcare site.
• Fix for Anesthesiology Navigation. An issue was resolved where the 'Active Trail' box was missing from the links so no 'Back To' options were appearing on the navigation under the Anesthesiology site.

Content Display Improvements

• Updated Wait Time Display for Urgent Care and Emergency Departments. The system for showing wait times was rebuilt to make it more flexible, easier to manage, and more accurate. This includes improvements for how it appears on Location and Service pages.
• Billboards Now Appear on 404 and 403 Pages. Billboards now show properly on error pages, helping maintain consistent branding.

System and Configuration Updates

• Gloss Design System Version Set. We’ve locked the design system to a specific version (2.8.16) to ensure design elements remain consistent across all sites.
• Stronger Spam Protection on Forms. Forms across our sites now require users to wait at least 15 seconds before submitting, helping block automated spam bots.
• Improved MyChart Integration. MyChart scheduling tools now only appear where they are supported (such as on Healthcare pages), which helps avoid errors on other sites.
• Prepared Login Widget for Upcoming MyChart Passkey Support. Updated the MyChart login box to allow secure passkey-based login methods once enabled by the MyChart team. This update adds the necessary browser permissions in advance of the May 2025 rollout and applies to any page that includes the login iframe.

Code Cleanup and Maintenance

• Improved Template Reliability. Some background updates were made to improve how provider information is handled behind the scenes, helping keep everything running smoothly.

Release 25.6.1

New Features

• Progress on displaying wait times display on Locations Pages. Infrastructure is now in place for displaying emergency room wait times directly from EPIC. This update added frame framework to connect to GetDepartmentWaitTimes Epic API.  Includes a new service which can be reused to connect to other Epic data endpoints. This functionality is not enabled.
• Add 'Made Better By You' helpers and helper category. New layout helpers which will enable Pagebuilders to quickly create employee profile pages from pre-built templates. Templates are only available on the uofuhealth.utah.edu site.
• Implement custom Site Studio package workflow for individual sites. This will allow us to create custom components or, more likely, custom helpers for either sites, or for profile (academic vs clinical).
• Add alt tag to Image Billboard. Remove role="presentation” attribute from the image on mobile screens. This change will allow us to add alt tags to billboard images (when displayed in mobile). Billboards for desktop display are added as a ‘background’ image and cannot use an alt tag.

Security

• New module to remove Drupal login fields. New modules uou_login will remove the drupal login fields and only allow the SSO login link to display. (Still in testing).
• Enable Antibot module only in production. The Antibot module helps prevent bots from spamming public-facing forms. It was causing issues logging in on lower environments.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Fix Simple Google Search for academic sites. Users were seeing a JavaScript error rather than search results. Multiple fixes were attempted. Due to inconsistent behavior between local and site factory environments we created a script which will disable JS aggregation on academic sites (undesirable, but fixes the issue). This isn’t considered a long-term solution. This issue is likely a bug with the newest version of Drupal core.
• Fix display of special characters in Image Card display. Card titles which included non-alphanumeric characters like apostrophes or quotations were being converting to HTML safe characters. This change alters the Additional Link Text output so characters are no longer escaped as HTML safe.
  Example: this text it's was displaying like this it's.
• Add empty openIntervals variables to Location time output in Yext API. This will allow us to ingest regular hours into the Yext system for google maps and other map systems display.
• Modify 'Good Notes' story title section.  Fix incorrectly centered Good Notes page title display.
• Modify News API to include date inputs. The news sharing API needs to allow for date-based filtering so we can lower server load when using this API.
• Fix for hours display in new Location Hours Table. Hours display should now be fully human readable.

• Have the "New to this provider" option in the button scroll the user down to the widget.
• Make a visual distinction between the widget and the rest of the physician content on the page.
• When a user selects "I've seen this Provider before" use a modal to inform the user that they are leaving the site and being redirected to MyChart.

Release 25.4.7

Hotfixes for the 25.4.x release cycle:

• Update Drupal core and several modules. This is security maintenance.
• Disable Clinical Trials API search. The Clinical Trials display was not correctly filtering out inactive clinical trials. Since we cannot fix this for the time being, due to reasons out of our hands, we have temporarily turned this tool off.
• Remove changes to overlapping and image billboards. Discovered and resolved pre-release
• Modify Honeypot time limit to prevent submission errors. The time limit was too long before and causing a '30 Second Time out.'
• Address Table of Contents display issue. The table of contents was showing above the billboard when it should display below and it was causing double billboards to display on 403 and 404 pages.
• Address display issue for 'Updated Profile Card'. This component styling was broken and they were not clickable.
• Update cms-hpt.txt hospital pricing text file. This was done to bring us into compliance with the goverment Hospital Pricing mandate.
• Address display issue for Good Notes billboards. The title was missing from Good Notes posts.
• Fix locations API Yext connector. Re-add uniqueId, rename locationProvidedServices. This provided correct location information to the Yext connector editor.
• Fix path for Made Better By You story type, add page wrapper class. The MBBY content type changed from Basic Page to Story so we had to update the default url path rules to follow that content type now instead of the Basic Page one.
