Release 1.4.5 Scheduled

Scheduled release 7/09/2018

We will update the CAWeb Publishing theme to version 1.4.5 on the evening of 7/09. The CAWeb Publishing Service team will be making these updates during our published Preventative Maintenance window, 9:00PM to 11:00PM. The update should take no more than 15 minutes and no downtime for site visitors, authors, editors or admins is expected. The features being provided are listed below. If you have any questions or concerns contact us at cawebpublishingservice@state.ca.gov.

Minor Fix

  1. For state template version 5 the underlining while hovering over the navigation was displaying in the wrong location.  This has now been fixed and the underlining is now on top of the menu divider bar.

Enhancements

Alert Banner

You can now add multiple Alert Banners to your website.  For each banner you can:

  1. Provide Alert Label
  2. Alert Message (with fonts and links if needed)
  3. Banner Color
  4. Read More button with link
  5. Banner Icon and
  6. Banner Display setting (All pages or Home Page only)

Create as many banners as needed and enable or disable them as desired.  Use the banners for reoccurring alerts such as scheduled down time or job postings, for example. Visitors to your website can turn the Alerts off for the current session.

To access this feature go to CAWeb Options/Settings and then access the Alert Banner Tab.

Google Translate

We have added a “Custom” option for Google Translate. The current “Standard” option enables the Google Translate widget in the Utility bar; the new “Custom” feature displays a Translate link (and optional icon) in the Utility bar. The Translate link opens a new translate page (which you create and customize with disclaimer language and the Google Translate shortcode).

To access this feature access CAWeb Options/Settings.  In the General Settings tab scroll down to Enable Google Translate.
