Release summary 

The 3.19.0 release is part of the Drupal Kit’s normal, bi-monthly maintenance release schedule. There are no major changes in this release, just the usual mix of bugfixes and improvements.

Minor visual changes introduced in this release are detailed in the following section.

Visual changes 

Release 3.19.0 includes visual changes that may affect content on existing sites. These changes are described below, with before/after examples.

Required footer links now display with an external link icon 

All University of Texas at Austin websites are required to include specific links in their footer. With this release, those links display with external link icons to differentiate them from content specific to the current website.

Header menu items now display active child page indicator 

This change affects sites using The Forty Acres theme or a sub-theme of Forty Acres. When a site visitor is on a page which is in the header menu or whose parent is in the header menu, the header link will now display active status through a color change. See Working with page paths for an explanation of how page parent/child relationships are created.

Reminder: do not delete cancelled events

Once published, an event should not be deleted. It should be marked as ‘cancelled.’ Deleting previously published events risks confusing visitors who had previously viewed the event while it was active.

Tips for advanced searches now display on the search page 

In prior versions of the Drupal Kit, the search page displayed a link that included instructions for advanced search syntax. Now those instructions display in a collapsed section directly below the search bar.

Background color options for layouts have been consolidated 

Pages created with Layout Builder, such as the Flex Page, include the option to apply background colors to sections. The existing options were numerous, some options differing only slightly from others. To improve the ability for content editors to easily select an appropriate background color, we have reduced the available color options. Sites that were already using background colors that are now removed will automatically shift to the next-closest color option, as shown below.

Before	After

Profile lists now wrap text around image 

This change affects sites using the Profile add-on. Previously, Profile listings using the “Prominent” display rendered image and text in separate columns, creating the potential for long, narrow columns of text. Now text wraps around the image as shown below.

Spacing between Profile title and content now matches other pages 

This change affects sites using the Profile add-on. Previously, there was additional space between the title and the main content compared to other page types. Now that space is consistent with other pages.
