SiteBuilder release notes

We released SiteBuilder 2.525 on Thursday the 24^th of November. In this version, we:

• Fixed a security issue that affected links where the URL contained a group of 3 slashes (///). For more information about internet safety, see the University guidance on how to combat phishing.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the Email the page contact link working on the Access refused page displayed to visitors without permission to view a given page.
• Added a site setting to make the Components Editor the default when creating a new page. This builds on a previous change which made the Components Editor the default for all new pages created directly beneath an existing Components Editor page. The site setting is available on the Edit site properties screen, via the Current site tab, which appears for users with admin permissions on the site's homepage. When users create a new page, they can choose to create it as a Classic editor page instead.
• Made the following improvements and changes to the Components Editor:
  • Fixed a bug that prevented components from displaying properly while editing a custom template created for, or converted to, the Components Editor.
  • Added the option to make Tabs components display as Accordions. You can enable this option in the settings for a new or existing Tabs component by selecting Accordion in the Display as drop-down. You can also specify which item (if any) is expanded by default, and whether users can expand multiple items at once.
    • Note: This change required existing pages using Tabs components to be re-published. This may result in IDG members' names appearing in the edit history of affected pages, but no content has been altered.
  • Improved handling of images when converting pages to the Components Editor. Any images that opened in lightbox on the old visual editor version of a page now continue to do so on the converted version. Note: in the old visual editor, images are set to open in a lightbox via the Insert image as thumbnail option.
• Continued to work on the new Bookings page template. When this is available, we'll provide a detailed summary of the changes on the SiteBuilder noticeboard.
