Site issues

Steven Maglio

• 14 Jan 2022

  • 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.

• 28 Jan 2022 Jessica Dewett requested access to student APIs. Using her personal account. She requested a functional account from ETS.

• 11 Feb 2022 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

• 19 Nov 2021

  • 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.

• 14 Jan 2022

  • Elda will work on it next week.

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

  • Will use github and multidev environment.

• 28 Jan 2022 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.

• 11 Feb 2022 Elda is close to finishing the migration. Some issues with the markup module.

• 25 Feb 2022 Testing results: Publishing workflow is not sending emails. Actions are missing

• 11 Mar 2022 discussed publishing workflow testing. Elda will change the email module to the AWS module so emails to non-gmail accounts will come through.

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
