Site issues

@Steven Maglio

  • Jan 14, 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.

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

  • Feb 11, 2022 Steven will follow up with Jessica to make sure she uses a functional account for the application.

 

Drupal 9 Upgrade

@Elda Schaffield

 

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.

    • Nov 19, 2021 checking with Seth on the status

  • Chartfield API - deprecated, no usage.

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
