Key Editor Experience Enhancements and Progress Toward LocalGov Base 1.7.0 Release
For the week ending on October 4th, 2024, Mark Conroy's LocalGov Drupal contributions focused heavily on improving the "Editor Experience." Progress included working on issues like shifting the "Files" tab from the content tabs list to the media tabs list, resolved through an update hook. The team also decided to incorporate the Masquerade module due to its Drupal security team support, moving forward with a pull request for its inclusion.
Significant work also took place around the upcoming 1.7.0 release of LocalGov Base, which will include a helper module for better update hook management across themes and profiles. Additionally, the team explored a potential "What other pages link to this page?" feature, though no existing modules fit the requirements.
Other highlights include improvements to accordion functionality through Twig templates, and continued efforts to enhance document linking from the media library. Lastly, mentoring efforts helped onboard a new contributor, Paul McCrodden, with his first pull requests.
