WebPublish Preview environment upgrade Archived

  • System Name: preview.wp.queensu.ca

    Services Affected: WebPublish Preview Environment

    Maintenance Timeline: 8am - 10am

    Details:

    Here is a summary of changes:
    * Allowed assets can now have all upper-case or all lower-case extensions.
    * Files with Office 2007 extensions (.docx, .pptx, etc.) have been added to the list of allowed assets.
    * Allow a user who has the Edit and Review role to Publish a page without first having to Submit it.
    * "Force Check-in" functionality has been added. This allows a user with the Admin role to check-in a page that another user in the system forgot to check-in.
    * Upgrade the rich-text editor. The new rich-text editor is more compatible with the latest browsers (Firefox 3.6, Internet Explorer 8 and Safari 5).
    * Accessibility: If a description (or "alt" tag) is not specified for an image, a blank "alt" tag will automatically be added. This tells a screenreader that the image is for visual formatting only. Please remember to add a description to all images that serve any other purpose.
    * Limited release: Do not require .html to be added to the end of a URL. At present we are rolling this update out only to specific WebPublish sites. Please contact us if you are interested in having this change made to your site.
