Site issues

Steven Maglio

    • We are not getting emails when people sign up for a new account

    • Emails were going to spam of noreply@developer.ucsb.edu

    • Whitelisted the account in gmail and that solved the issue.

  • Jessica Dewett requested access to student APIs. Using her personal account. She requested a functional account from ETS.

  • Steven will follow up with Jessica to make sure she uses a functional account for the application.

Drupal 9 Upgrade

Elda Schaffield

  • Drupal 9 Migration Planning

    • security update that needs to be applied

    • upgrade to Drupal 9 - we need to replace 2 modules before we can upgrade

      • Encrypt - we are not using it

      • Markdown - it is used everywhere

      • Elda hasn’t checked the custom modules to see if we will have issues

      • lots of files under root that need to be moved

      • we can do the migration and test it

      • Need 2 meetings to go over the workflow and Apigee integration with Elda.

    • Elda will work on it next week.

    • new dev site: developer-ucsb-edu-v06

    • Will use github and multidev environment.

  • Elda needs circleci (https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/gh-bb-integration/#permissions-overview ) to be enabled at the org level. I is in pending state. Jim Woods will need to enable it. The issue is that it will impact other users. Steven will reach out to Jim to start the conversation.

  • Elda is close to finishing the migration. Some issues with the markup module.

  • Testing results: Publishing workflow is not sending emails. Actions are missing

  • discussed publishing workflow testing. Elda will change the email module to the AWS module so emails to non-gmail accounts will come through.

  • Site has been tested and all issues resolved. Elda will reconfigure some components that are hosted in Ukraine as they have been coming down. Vince will create a test email account for the automated tests and give it to Elda to use. Next week - domain dns changes. Elda will make a request to switch the site to the paid pantheon subscription. Steven will open a request for Igor for the DNS changes. Schedule the release for Thursday at 1pm.

Misc

  • Events API

    • there is a private campus M events API that Reg maintains, which was the issue.

    • Need to publish it in the portal for visibility.

    • checking with Seth on the status

  • Chartfield API - deprecated, no usage.


Student Developed Applications


 Steven and Seth met with the students. They are continuing to grow the sites. Two new members of the team are taking over. Henry is graduating, Jimmy is staying.

Meeting with the team on 2/17/2022.


Meeting and group focus year 2021


  • Project focus

    • Resolve site issues after Drupal 8 migration

    • Transition the site to Elda’s team for maintenance

    • Drupal 9 migration

    • Front page redesign

    • AWS - migrate the Heroku code and the sql server database

    • Account cleanup automation

    • Identity integration and automation 

  • Apigee Support

    • 1 FTE on the apigee team to help with student development oversight and support

    • Now the students have to contact so many groups to have their accounts setup, an FTE can really help with that. Adding the functionality to developer.ucsb.edu to create accounts.

      • Drupal - OK to work with a student

      • For other projects like identity account creation and others it will be difficult to work with a student
